[001] - AceWiki 0.2.9
by Tobias Kuhn (http://freshmeat.net/users/tkuhn/)
Thu, Oct 23rd 2008 20:46
Information Management
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
About: AceWiki is a semantic wiki that is powerful and at the same time
easy to use. Making use of the controlled natural language ACE, the formal
statements of the wiki are shown in a way that looks like natural English.
In order to help the users to write correct ACE sentences, AceWiki provides
a predictive authoring tool.
Changes: Incorrect behavior of the editor, e.g. if similar words like
"starts" and "starts with" are defined, has been fixed. OWL-API has been
updated to version 2.2.1 rev 941. This makes the OWL export compatible with
Protégé build 103 (but breaks compatibility with older versions).

[003] - Another File Integrity Checker 2.12
by Gerbier Eric (http://freshmeat.net/users/gerbier/)
Thu, Oct 23rd 2008 08:18
Security
System :: Systems Administration
About: afick is another file integrity checker, designed to be fast and
fully portable between Unix and Windows platforms. It works by first
creating a database that represents a snapshot of the most essential parts
of your computer system. You can then run the script to discover all
modifications made since the snapshot was taken (i.e. files added, changed,
or removed). The configuration syntax is very close to that of aide or
tripwire, and a graphical interface is provided.
Changes: The code now works with perl 5.10. On Windows, afick_planning now
sends a report instead of a summary and uses the "LINES" macro. On Unix, a
new MOUNT macro allows you to use a remote database in afick_cron. Udev
files were removed from scan. The tar.gz installer was recoded to display
better diagnostics.

Internet
System :: Networking
About: Babel is a distance-vector routing protocol for IPv6 and IPv4. It
is designed to be robust and work efficiently on both wired networks and
wireless mesh networks.

[005] - Big Faceless PDF Library 2.10.5
by BFO (Big Faceless Organization)
(http://freshmeat.net/users/faceless/)
Thu, Oct 23rd 2008 00:55
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
Office/Business
About: The Big Faceless PDF Library is a Java class library for creating
PDF documents. The Extended Edition offers the ability to create and edit
AcroForms, PDF's answer to the HTML form. Like HTML forms, PDF forms can
contain text boxes, radio buttons, and can call JavaScript functions. The
Extended Edition also includes a PDF reader for importing and editing,
along with FDF support, verification for digital signatures and text
extraction. Both variations offer full Unicode support, encryption,
embedded TrueType and Type1 fonts, barcodes, hyperlinks, and spot and
calibrated color.
Changes: This release fixes a memory leak that occurred when a PDF had
part of its internal structure replaced. The leak was on a per-PDF basis,
so it would not expand infinitely over time, but while that PDF existed,
editing it could take more memory than it actually required. All customers
are encouraged to upgrade. Creation of signature annotations for Acrobat 9
has been fixed. Improvements to the "MergeResources" feature added in the
previous release. Redraw of fields with multiple annotations in the viewer
has been fixed.

high level filter/pipe message processing system. The library is easily
portable to most systems and compilers, and includes a substantial tutorial
and API reference.
Changes: This release enables choosing which TR1 implementation to use at
configure time. Benchmarks for ECDSA and ECKAEG were also added. A number
of classes and functions in the library now have Doxygen-style
documentation comments. Information for getting compilation and link flags
for Botan via pkg-config is now generated at build time.

[010] - execline 1.08
by Laurent Bercot (http://freshmeat.net/users/skarnet/)
Thu, Oct 23rd 2008 13:53
Software Development :: Embedded Systems
Software Development :: Interpreters
System :: Shells
About: execline is a very light, non-interactive scripting language,
which is similar to a shell. Simple shell scripts can be easily rewritten
in the execline language, improving performance and memory usage.
execline was designed for use in embedded systems, but works on most Unix
flavors.
Changes: This release adds some features to execline, namely a way to
break out of loops early, a better design for conditional branching, a
fallback for the exec command, and more. It also fixes a build problem with
Mac OS X.

[011] - Flex Bison C++ Template 0.1.3
by Timo Bingmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/tbingmann/)
Thu, Oct 23rd 2008 13:29
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: Flex Bison C++ Template is a code template that can be used to
integrate a Flex scanner and Bison parser pair into a modern C++ program.
These two universal tools are very difficult to incorporate into a good C++
design. The template utilizes both Flex and Bison in C++ mode and their
output are encapsulated into classes. Thus the lexer and parser become
fully reentrant, and multiple distinct lexer-parser pairs can easily be
linked into one binary. The code implements a simple infix-notation
calculator as an example, which can be used as a starting-point for you to
insert your grammar.
Changes: A very subtle bug with the newly introduced virtual yywrap()
function in the FlexLexer class was corrected. Depending on how the header
was included, the class contained the virtual yywrap() function or not.
These differing class declarations lead to very strange NULL pointer
exceptions, because the different compiled objects assume different class
memory layouts. Ultimately, the exprtest program always segfaulted.

[012] - FrontAccounting 2.0.4

Thu, Oct 23rd 2008 13:59
Office/Business :: Financial :: Accounting
About: FrontAccounting is a Web-based accounting system for ERP chains. It
is multiuser, multilingual, and multicurrency.
Changes: The design of Supplier Invoice/Credit was changed. Everything is
now done in one document form. Ending Balance was added in trial balance
(also in report). Administrators can now remove GRNs permanently from
Supplier Invoice. Minor bugs were fixed.

[023] - libv4l 0.5.2
by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
Thu, Oct 23rd 2008 17:08
Multimedia :: Video :: Capture
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Hardware
About: libv4l is a collection of libraries that adds a thin abstraction
layer on top of video4linux2 (V4L2) devices. The purpose of this layer is
to make it easy for application writers to support a wide variety of
devices without having to write separate code for different devices in the
same class. It consists of 3 different libraries. libv4lconvert offers
functions to convert from any (known) pixel format to V4l2_PIX_FMT_BGR24 or
V4l2_PIX_FMT_YUV420. libv4l1 offers the (deprecated) v4l1 API on top of
v4l2 devices, independent of the drivers for those devices supporting v4l1
compatibility (which many v4l2 drivers do not). libv4l2 offers the v4l2 API
on top of v4l2 devices, while adding for the application transparent
libv4lconvert conversion where necessary.
Changes: A workaround was introduced for some drivers' (notably pwc's)
inconsistency in V4L's s_fmt() versus try_fmt() return values. Other minor
improvements were made.

[029] - odbcpp 1.4
by Alexis Wilke (http://freshmeat.net/users/alexis_wilke/)
Thu, Oct 23rd 2008 21:00
Database :: API
Database :: Front-Ends
Software Development :: Libraries
About: odbcpp is an ODBC C++ library wrapper. The ODBC library itself is a
low level C library that has many functions, all of which could return
errors. This wrapper checks for errors on every single call to the ODBC
interface, so if an SQL statement, a connection, or anything else fails, an
exception is generated.
Changes: The VARCHAR would not work properly because it was bound with the
wrong type. This made the type VARCHAR unusable in your tables. This
version also fixes the filename of the Win32 version. (version first, then
Win32).
