[001] - AgileWiki 10.1.2 (Element Model)
by Bill la Forge (http://freshmeat.net/users/laforge49/)
Thu, Nov 6th 2008 15:18

Database
Documentation
Information Management

About: AgileWiki is an SDK for assembling software systems which are
fluid, easily configured and can be reorganized on-the-fly to meet ever
changing requirements. It includes a COW-based database, the Rolonics
programming paradigm, and semantic inferencing.

Changes: Sleep & echo have been added to persistent arks--this was an
oversight. Sub-arks no longer support createBrowse and openArkDb. Invalid
commands are now handled properly. An exception which occurs while
processing a command in a sub-ark causes the ark to be restored, but in the
top-ark it forces the program to exit. OpenArkDb now works in the top ark.
The code in LocalArkReference has been fixed.

Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence

About: aiParts is a set of C++ classes that can be used to implement
artificial intelligence, including classes that implement the HighHope
technique. Sample programs include "find the shortest path" and "assign
people and/or equipment to projects". A problem assembled from subclasses
of the High-Hope classes knows how to solve itself by searching for a good
solution.

Changes: This release includes rrproj, a new sample program which assigns
people and/or equipment to projects or events. README.txt was improved.

System :: Archiving :: Compression

About: Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm,
with very safe integrity checking and a user interface almost identical to
the one of bzip2. Lzip is only a data compressor, not an archiver. It has
no facilities for multiple files, encryption, or archive-splitting, but, in
the Unix tradition, relies on utilities such as GNU Tar for these tasks.
Lzip is very well suited for software distribution.

Changes: The short name of the option "--dictionary-size" has been changed
to "-s". The short name of the option "--match-length" has been changed to
"-m". A couple of build problems on BSD have been fixed.

much more. It relies on command line and can therefore be run from
virtually any platform (smart phone, PDA, laptop, or remote PC) with
identical functionality. The architecture consists of three parts: input,
output, and process. Each is completely distinct, meaning you can control
any of the house processes from any supported input conduit such as a Web
browser, remote control, or SMS. Reports or notifications can be sent to
any of the available output conduits.

Changes: A recording utility script to control a TV card was added. A TV
information script was added. A video streaming server component for
Bearskin was added. A video streaming control applet for a Web site was
added. "Moonbeam", the bookmark manager, was incorporated. Various fixes
and changes were made.

[019] - nVentory 0.6
by Jason Heiss (http://freshmeat.net/users/jheiss/)
Thu, Nov 6th 2008 07:44

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking

About: nVentory is a Ruby on Rails application to manage inventory in
multiple data centers. It can manage server functionality assignment,
customer/server assignment, racking, and more. It can track which servers
are doing what, and where they are in your data centers. It allows you to
visualize server locations and rack space with GUI tools.

Changes: The server was upgraded from Rails 2.0.2 to 2.1.1. Support was
added for queries on arbitrary associations. This allows you to query nodes
based on their datacenter. nVentory now maintains "virtual" assignments for
nodes based on the node group hierarchy. This makes working with the node
group hierarchy easier. The server now only returns data from the main
model by default. This allows you to request all of the nodes in the
database once you scale past 1000 nodes or so. A variety of other
miscellaneous bugs were fixed.

Communications
Documentation
Information Management :: Document Repositories

About: Trac is an advanced tool for managing software development
projects. It provides a simple wiki, an issue tracking system, and tight
integration with the Subversion revision control system. However, it's also
notorious for being hard to install. With the JumpBox for Trac, it takes

by Dougal Campbell (http://freshmeat.net/users/emc3/)
Thu, Nov 6th 2008 15:26

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: News/Diary
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: WordPress is a state-of-the-art, semantic, personal publishing
platform with a focus on aesthetics, Web standards, and usability. It was
born out of a desire for an elegant, well-architected personal publishing
system. While primarily geared towards functioning as a Weblog, WordPress
is also a flexible CMS capable of managing many types of Web sites. In
addition to the basic blog functions, it also has an integrated link
manager (e.g. for blogrolls), file attachments, XFN support, support for
stand-alone pages, Atom and RSS feeds for both content and comments,
blogging API support (Atom Publishing Protocol, Blogger, MetaWeblog, and
Movable Type APIs), spam blocking features, advanced cruft-free URL
generation, a flexible theme system, and an advanced plugin API.

Changes: Autosave fixes and automatic upgrade fixes were made. Some PHP
warnings and notices were eliminated. Avatars were added to the Edit Users
list. Rule fixes were rewritten for certain host setups. A first draft of
the contextual help tab was written.
