[007] - Asymptote 1.49
by John Bowman (http://freshmeat.net/users/jcbowman/)
Mon, Nov 3rd 2008 16:46

Education
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
Scientific/Engineering

About: Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for
technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like
syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting
that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as
opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of
script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods.
High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself,
allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.

Changes: Problems with surface normals that led to incorrect lighting were
fixed. By default, the mean(pen[]) routine now returns an interpolated pen
with the minimum opacity of all given pens. A patch reverse(patch) function
was added. The settings.keep flag is now handled correctly in texpath and
strokepath. A cornermean function for surfaces was added. Several examples
that illustrate patch and vertex shading were updated.

[008] - Back In Time 0.7.4
by Dan (http://freshmeat.net/users/danleweb/)
Mon, Nov 3rd 2008 16:35

System :: Archiving :: Backup
Utilities

About: Back In Time is a simple backup system for the GNOME desktop
inspired by the "flyback project" and "TimeVault". The backup is done by
taking snapshots of a specified set of directories. All you have to do is
configure: where to save snapshot, what directories to backup, and when a
backup should be done (manually, every hour, every day, every week, or
every month). It acts as a "user mode" backup system. This means that you
can backup and restore only folders to which you have write access.

Changes: If there is already a GUI instance running, it is raised rather
than starting a new instance. A Spanish translation was added.

[010] - bit 0.4.90
by Rick Vinyard (http://freshmeat.net/users/rvinyard/)
Mon, Nov 3rd 2008 21:30

Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: User Interfaces

About: bit is a library that makes it easier to dynamically manipulate
data buffers containing fields that do not have octet (byte) boundaries. An
example is the IP header, which is generally dealt with at compile time via
bit fields in a structure. A key feature of the bit library is support for
loading data formats described in XML files and dynamically parsing those
fields at run time. This library was initially created to support reading
various kinds of robotic device I/O (IR sensors, motors), but it has also
been used for run time parsing of IP, TCP, UDP, and RTP headers.

Changes: A few minor changes and a few code cleanups, but mostly a stable
pre-0.5 release.

[011] - bitgtkmm 0.4.90
by Rick Vinyard (http://freshmeat.net/users/rvinyard/)
Mon, Nov 3rd 2008 21:35

Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
Software Development :: Libraries

About: The bitgtkmm library contains a set of gtkmm widgets supporting
data structures in the bit library. These widgets include BufferTable and
BufferList, which will automatically lay out a data structure visually.

Changes: This is the first release that folds bitgtkmm back into the bit
library as bit-gtkmm. This now officially deprecates the bitgtkmm library,
with all widgets to be found in bit-gtkmm.

scanner, and a tool for automatic database updates. The core of the package
is an anti-virus engine available as a shared library.

Changes: This release fixes some issues found in previous releases and
includes one new feature, "Malware Statistics Gathering." This is an
optional feature that allows users to optionally submit statistics about
what they detect in the field. These data are then used to determine what
types of malware are the most detected in the field, and in what geographic
area. It also allows publishing of summary data on clamav.net, where users
can monitor the latest threats.

[014] - Crossroads Load Balancer 2.30
by Karel Kubat (http://freshmeat.net/users/karelk/)
Mon, Nov 3rd 2008 16:47

System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
System :: Networking

About: Crossroads is a daemon running in user space, and features
extensive configurability, polling of back ends using wake up calls, status
reporting, many algorithms to select the 'right' back end for a request
(and user-defined algorithms for very special cases), and much more.
Crossroads is service-independent: it is usable for any TCP service, such
as HTTP(S), SSH, SMTP, and database connections. In the case of HTTP
balancing, Crossroads can provide session stickiness for back end processes
that need sessions, but aren't session-aware of other back ends. Crossroads
can be run as a stand-alone daemon or via inetd.

Changes: This is a stable release. New features include DOS protection
capabilities, bugfixes, a "weighted-load" dispatching mode, a richer
management Web interface, and a rewritten, optimized HTTP dispatcher which
runs 40-50% faster.

[016] - Ctalk 0.0.84a
by thx1132 (http://freshmeat.net/users/kiesling3/)
Mon, Nov 3rd 2008 00:47

Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Libraries

About: Ctalk provides object oriented programming features, like classes,
methods, operator overloading, and inheritance to otherwise standard C
programs. You can use only a few objects and classes in a program, or you
can write programs entirely in Ctalk. The package provides a translator
from Ctalk source code into C for compilation and a library that provides
run-time support for class objects. The preprocessor, ctpp, is also
available separately, and the package includes sample programs and
documentation.

Changes: This release has an internal mechanism for aliasing global and
local objects, several new methods, and minor bugfixes, performance
improvements, and changes to the method API.

(like Amazon). It can easily integrate with other languages with
XML/JSON/HTML. There is a UI for all operations, so no Java coding is
necessary. Deleted or updated records in database can be synchronized also.

Changes: This release improves search performance by avoiding repeatedly
loading configuration files. It defaults to getting an auto-commit database
connection to avoid extra setAutoCommit operations. It fixes incorrect
error reporting for BufferIndex submit.do.

[019] - Disko 1.5_rc1
by Matthias Hardt (http://freshmeat.net/users/matha/)
Mon, Nov 3rd 2008 18:52

Multimedia
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks

About: Disko is a plugin-based framework providing components to create
media-oriented applications with special user interfaces on embedded
platforms. It is closely connected to the DirectFB hardware abstraction
library and specialized in touchscreen and remote control navigation.
There's a plugin-based management component which enables easy development,
customization, and extension of embedded applications. Disko has been
ported to the TI Davinci platform together with DirectFB, and runs on x86,
as well. The goal is to have Disko up and running on every single platform
DirectFB is working on.

Changes: This release has a very basic improvement referring to the
performance with the conversion to the TAFF file format. The effect of this
conversion is that all pics and XML files are parsed only once, which will
save a lot of startup time. In addition, this release has integrated basic
flash support based on swfdec 0.8, supports the MySQL interface, and has a
basic implementation of a SIP client interface. There are bugfixes and
performance optimizations.

it for your needs rather than starting from scratch. From there, you can
add other blogs fairly easily. This JumpBox is based on the 1.1 JumpBox
Platform and includes a backup system that supports archiving the state of
the JumpBox to NFS, Windows file shares, and Amazon S3.

Changes: This release no longer requires registration.

[041] - pHash 0.3
by b1ng0 (http://freshmeat.net/users/b1ng0/)
Mon, Nov 3rd 2008 21:59

Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Multimedia :: Video

About: pHash is an implementation of various perceptual hashing
algorithms. A perceptual hash is a fingerprint of an audio, video, or
image file that is mathematically based on the audio or visual content
contained within. Unlike usual hash functions that rely on the avalanche
effect of small changes in input leading to drastic changes in the output,
perceptual hashes are "close" to one another if the inputs are visually or
auditorily similar. As a result, perceptual hashes must also be robust
enough to take into account transformations that could have been performed
on the input.

Changes: This release implements the RADISH (radial hash) algorithm with
support for images, tweaks the DCT/pixel tube algorithm for images, and
includes preliminary support for videos. There are numerous bugfixes.

About: phpLogCon is a Web front-end for syslog and other network event
data. It provides easy browsing, searching, basic analysis, and some
graphics. Data is taken from databases or plain syslog text files, so

event log entries, and some more exotic things. Its troubleshooting support
enables users to quickly find solutions to problems seen in the log data.

Changes: The default database template was fixed, since updates for DB
Version 6 and 7 were missing. An expandable submenu for help was added into
the top menu. Some minor stylesheet issues were fixed to optimize usability
in the main view. The detail page hides empty fields now.

Mon, Nov 3rd 2008 00:50

Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters

About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and
operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.

Changes: A new gzip.s7i library, which contains a gzip uncompression
function, was added. The functions getXmlTagHeadOrContent,
getSymbolInXmlTag, getHtmlAttributeValue, and getNextXmlAttribute were
added to the scanfile.s7i library. In the library scanstri.s7i, the
function getXmlTagHeadOrContent was added and the function
getSymbolInHtmlTag was renamed to getSymbolInXmlTag. The interpreter's
stack trace, when an uncaught exception occurs, was improved. The handling
of sockets in the compiler was improved to support them for the cl (MSVC) C
compiler. The documentation file src/read_me.txt was improved.

[060] - Wt 2.2.1
by Koen Deforche (http://freshmeat.net/users/kdeforche/)
Mon, Nov 3rd 2008 17:03

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Software Development :: Embedded Systems

About: Wt is a C++ library for developing Web applications with an API
that is widget-centric and inspired by existing C++ graphical user
interface APIs. To the developer, it offers complete abstraction of any
Web-specific implementation details. Under the hood, the library uses the
latest techniques (AJAX) to handle user events and update the Web page.

Changes: New features include a new WAbstractItemModel interface that
supports hierarchical models, a new widget, WTreeView, that implements a
high performance MVC-based tree (table) view, and a widgetgallery example
that demonstrates most of the widgets and features in Wt. Other
improvements include support for submenus in WMenu, improved communication
of events, standard prevention for CSRF also when using cookies for URL
tracking, and an API for dynamic stylesheet rules.

[061] - Xataface 1.0.7
by Steve Hannah (http://freshmeat.net/users/shannah/)
Mon, Nov 3rd 2008 21:35

Database
Database :: Front-Ends
Internet :: WWW/HTTP

About: Xataface is a flexible and shapable skin that sits on top of MySQL,
making it accessible to every-day users. It automatically generates the
appropriate forms, lists, and menus for a user to interact with the
database without having to know any SQL. It is a full-featured Web
application framework, and gives developers the flexibility to customize
the features and behavior of their application via configuration files
(using the simple INI-file syntax), templates, and plug-ins. A generic
application with no customizations is completely functional, but the
developer is free to customize things at his leisure.

Changes: Bug #391, which caused select lists to sometimes use the wrong
IDs from value lists, has been fixed. This bug affected versions 1.0.4,
1.0.5, and 1.0.6. Anybody using these versions should upgrade immediately
or apply the patch.

Mon, Nov 3rd 2008 05:29

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries

About: XHTML Family Tree Generator is a CGI Perl script together with some
Perl modules that will create views of a family tree. Data can be stored in
a database or in a data file. The data file is either a simple text (CSV),
an Excel, or GEDCOM file listing the family members, parents, and other
details. It is possible to show a tree of ancestors and descendants for any
person, showing any number of generations. Other facilities are provided
for showing email directories, birthday reminders, facehall, and more. It
has a simple configuration, makes heavy use of CGI (and other CPAN
modules), generates valid XHTML, and has support for Unicode and multiple
languages.

Changes: Russian language support was added.
