[001] - Abacus Formula Compiler 1.2.0
by Peter Arrenbrecht (http://freshmeat.net/users/peo1306/)
Wed, Nov 5th 2008 17:29

Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Libraries

About: The Abacus Formula Compiler (AFC) compiles computations defined in
spreadsheet files directly to Java byte code. Users can thus customize an
application using Excel or OpenOffice Calc. AFC compiles against your own
Java interfaces to obtain input values and compute output values (it
essentially generates strategy implementations for you), and supports
internal computations with either double or BigDecimal (for financial
applications).

Changes: This release adds support for spreadsheets in the Microsoft
Office Open XML .xlsx (MS Excel 2007) format. It also contains minor
improvements and bugfixes.

[004] - Berkeley DB Java Edition 3.3.74
by Gregory Burd (http://freshmeat.net/users/gregburd/)
Wed, Nov 5th 2008 18:19

Database
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: Berkeley DB Java Edition is a high performance transactional
storage engine written entirely in Java. Like the highly successful
Berkeley DB product, it executes in the address space of the application
without the overhead of client/server communication. It stores data in the
application's native format, so no runtime data translation is required. It
supports full ACID transactions and recovery, and provides an easy-to-use
interface, allowing programmers to store and retrieve information quickly,
simply, and reliably.

Changes: This release fixes a problem that could cause
LogFileNotFoundException in large databases. This could cause data loss, so
all users are strongly recommended to upgrade. This problem is found in all
prior releases. The bug can occur only for databases with a Btree that is 4
or more levels deep. For the default maximum entries per Btree node (128),
this means the database must have grown to at least 10 million records to
be a candidate for occurrence of this problem. This is only an
approximation, and may be larger or smaller if
DatabaseConfig.setNodeMaxEntries has been called.

database of document containers. XML documents are stored and indexed in
their native format using Berkeley DB as the transactional database engine.

Changes: This release addresses a number of issues found since 2.4.13. It
is source and binary compatible with earlier 2.4.x releases.

[010] - dkopp 4.4
by kornelix (http://freshmeat.net/users/kornelix/)
Wed, Nov 5th 2008 17:40

System :: Archiving :: Backup

About: Dkopp is a program for copying or backing up disk files to DVD.
Full or incremental backups can be made, with full or incremental DVD
verification. Dkopp uses a GUI to navigate through directories to select or
de-select files or directories at any level. Backup jobs can be saved for
recurring use. New, deleted, and updated files are handled automatically,
without re-editing the backup job. An incremental backup updates the same
DVD used for a prior full backup. Large backup jobs can be done using
multiple DVDs. A GUI restore function is also provided. Differences between
disk and DVD can be reported in total, by directory and by file.

Changes: If the DVD is already mounted, then it is used as is by setting
the backup directory to match the mount point. The dkopp backup job should
use the same device name that GNOME (or another desktop) uses, e.g.
/dev/scd0 instead of /dev/sr0. Otherwise, dkopp will try to redundantly
mount the device. It is best to let the auto-mount complete before starting
a backup job, to avoid a tug-of-war as dkopp tries to mount the device in
parallel.

About: Exiv2 is a C++ image metadata manipulation library that makes
reading and writing Exif, IPTC, and XMP image metadata easy. It provides
full Exif makernote and thumbnail support. The Exiv2 command line utility
prints Exif, IPTC and XMP metadata including Makernote tags in various
formats, adjusts Exif timestamps, renames images according to the Exif
timestamp, extracts and inserts Exif, IPTC, and XMP metadata and JPEG
comments, or deletes the thumbnail or a specific type of metadata from an
image.

Changes: With this pre-release it is now possible to build an Exiv2
Windows DLL. A new API was added to access image previews of any image. In
addition to Exif thumbnails this allows retrieving various other previews
from RAW images and Exif MakerNotes through a common interface. Another
backward-compatible API change allows advanced Exif pretty-printing
functions to refer to all Exif tags. Several other Exif improvements and
fixes were implemented, see the ChangeLog for details.

Software Development :: Internationalization
Software Development :: Localization

About: FastFormat is a C/C++ output and formatting library whose design
parameters are complete type-safety, efficiency, genericity, and
extensibility. It is simple to use and extend, highly portable (to any
platform or compiler), and it upholds the C tradition of you only pay for
what you use. FastFormat supports output and formatting of statements of
arbitrary complexity, consisting of heterogeneous types. FastFormat writes
to output "sinks", which can be of arbitrary type.

Changes: The library now detects and reports on unreferenced arguments by
default. Also included are new added conversion shims for floating-point
types, and string access shims for ff_string_slice_t, which facilitates
highly-efficient conversion shims. Defects in the definition of action shim
functions for the ostream and stringstream sinks were corrected. This
release relies on version 1.9.60 or later of STLSoft.

by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
Wed, Nov 5th 2008 23:30

Communications
System :: Networking
System :: Operating System

About: WANPIPE S-series is a family of intelligent multi-protocol WAN and
ADSL adapters that support data transfer rates up to 8Mbps. All WAN
protocols supported by WANPIPE are implemented in firmware and run on the
card. An advantage of an intelligent adapter is that it offloads the system
CPU and improves stability. By adding a Sangoma WAN/ADSL component to the
Linux kernel, one can create a powerful multi-T1/ADSL router/firewall with
proven reliability of Linux. Sangoma S-series cards support an optional on
board T1/E1 CSU/DSU that eliminates all external components of a
traditional routing solution: i.e. T1/E1 line can be directly connected to
the card. WANPIPE supports the following protocols, ATM, ADSL, Frame Relay,
PPP, MULTILINK PPP, CHDLC, X25(API), BitStreaming (API), BiSync(API), and
SDLC(API). Furthermore, WANPIPE supports custom API development such as:
Credit card verification, Voice-over IP, Satellite Comm. All device drivers
are part of the standard Linux Kernel distribution.

Changes: The TDM API has been updated to fix FreeSwitch analog support.
Support has been added for analog TDM API TAPPING mode and Zaptel/DAHDI
operation mode. An MTP2 option has been added to LibSS7. The TDM API has
been updated for A200 to fix issues with FreeSwitch OpenZAP with TDM API
for Analog. There is a minor bugfix in the XMTP2 API. The T1/E1 Loopback
commands have been updated for the wanpipemon utility. Linux 2.6.25 and
2.6.26 support is fixed. The AFT driver has been updated to implement a new
loopback command. Asterisk DAHDI support has been added. A possible race
condition has been fixed in the A200/A400 Analog driver.
