[001] - Aspyct 1.0 Final
by Antoine d'Otreppe (http://freshmeat.net/users/antoine_935/)
Wed, Oct 29th 2008 12:36

Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules

About: Aspyct is a Python module that implements AOP (aspect oriented
programming). It's a two-part library containing both a highly flexible
engine and a light one.

Changes: The release involves clean-ups, bugfixes, feature enhancements,
and documentation improvement. The last missing join point has been added,
atAvoid. The core engine is now even more reliable, runs faster, provides
more data, and uses less memory. Aspyct is now split into four modules:
core, decor, error, and light (this one is in an advanced beta state). The
tutorial is now complete and available for download.

Wed, Oct 29th 2008 12:57

Desktop Environment

About: BarPanel is a powerful desktop panel that is extensible through
plugins and is fully themeable. Barpanel is a continuation of the work done
in the Foopanel project.

Changes: Another theme was added. Configuration options were added for
several appearance details. Tooltips were enabled where they were not
previously. Configuration was made easier for the search box browser.
Partial width panels are now allowed and their positioning can be
controlled. Left and right panels are allowed. The panel reacts to screen
resolution changes properly. An autohide option was added for panels. The
ability to draw a desktop background image was added.

[004] - BusyBox 1.12.1
by Bernhard Reutner-Fischer (http://freshmeat.net/users/reutner/)
Wed, Oct 29th 2008 05:17

Software Development :: Embedded Systems
System :: Boot :: Init

About: BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a
single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of
the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The
utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured
GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected
functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox
provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or embedded
system.

dependencies. Support for creating and viewing CD/DVD image files was
added. The loading of configurations was improved, so that the user could
copy certain directories from host config to user config, and modify them
there. Finally, besides minor fixes and improvements, the Unified
High-Level Interface to C/C++ Compilers ("unicc") was rewritten. Now it's a
framework with plugin modules, with support for parallel compilation, and
with the ability to handle Windows resource files.

[016] - GNU GLOBAL 5.7.3
by Shigio Yamaguchi (http://freshmeat.net/users/shigio/)
Wed, Oct 29th 2008 12:47

About: GNU GLOBAL is a source code tagging system that works the same way
across diverse environments (such as emacs, vi, less, bash, or a Web
browser). It allows you to locate specified objects in source files and
move there easily. It is useful for hacking a large project containing many
subdirectories, many #ifdef directives, and many main() functions. It is
similar to ctags or etags, but differs by being independent of any editor.

Changes: Gtags no longer causes a segmentation fault if it reads its input
file names from a file list (using the -f option) and the input files
aren't in the working directory or its sub-directories. The version test in
gtags.pl no longer fails.

About: ipt_pkd is an iptables extension implementing port knock detection
with SPA (single packet authorization). This project provides 3 parts: the
kernel module ipt_pkd, the iptables user space module libipt_pkd.so, and a
user space client knock program. For the knock packet, it uses a UDP packet
sent to a random port that contains a SHA-256 of a timestamp, small header,
random bytes, and a shared key. ipt_pkd checks the time window of the
packet and does the SHA-256 to verify the packet. The shared key is never
sent.

specification version 2.0 (dated November 2005). The API was written with
mass-data support in mind and provides all possible kinds of operations on
a DTAUS file. Performance or memory critical sections of the code can be
hand-tuned via a property file without rebuilding the code. The API is
based on an abstraction layer for I/O operations, so implementations can be
adopted to other persistence mechanisms.

[024] - mxallowd 1.6b
by sECuRE (http://freshmeat.net/users/sECuRE6/)
Wed, Oct 29th 2008 05:19

Communications :: Email :: Filters
Internet
System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: mxallowd is a daemon for Linux Netfilter (using libnetfilter-queue)
and BSD pf (using pflog) which implements a slightly improved nolisting
mechanism. It requires your name server to be configured to return two MX
IP addresses, and the one with higher priority must not run a mail server
on port 25. mxallowd blocks attempts to connect to the mail server unless
the sender tries to connect to the first mail server before the second.
Since most spammers will attempt direct connections to each mail server,
they will be blocked.

Changes: This release creates a correct /var/run/mxallowd.pid to allow it
to be started with start-stop-daemon while checking for the return code
correctly.
