[006] - DBIx::Perlish 0.46
by Grrrr (http://freshmeat.net/users/Grrrr/)
Sat, Nov 8th 2008 19:21
About: The DBIx::Perlish module provides the ability to work with
databases supported by the DBI module using Perl's own syntax for the four
most common operations: SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and INSERT. By using
DBIx::Perlish, you can write most of your database queries using a
domain-specific language with Perl syntax. However, the module is not
intended to replace all use of SQL in your program. The DBIx::Perlish
module quite intentionally neither implements nor cares about database
administration tasks like schema design and management.
Changes: Global variables are understood as variable table names. String
constants are understood as variable table names. Support was added for
database schemas "schemaname.tablename" in table specifications.

[014] - m9u 0.5
by sqweek (http://freshmeat.net/users/sqweek/)
Sat, Nov 8th 2008 18:43
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players
System :: Filesystems
About: m9u is a music server, similar to mpd or xmms2. It sits in the
background, waiting for commands to be delivered via a 9p file system. m9u
embraces the Unix philosophy of doing one thing well. As such, it does not
try to catalog or otherwise organize music, but aims for the more humble
goal of simply playing it. A side effect of this approach is that m9u is
trivially extensible to domains aside from music (for example, an image
slideshow).
Changes: This initial release includes a functional playlist and queue. It
depends on sox for .wav, mpg123 for .mp3, ogg123 for .ogg, adplay for .lds,
mikmod for .xm/.it/.mod, and feh for .jpg/.png.

Database
Database :: API
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
About: The eobjects.org MetaModel is a project created for maximum reuse
of a SQL 99 compliant domain model of the database domain. The MetaModel is
a model that contains classes that represent the structure of a database
(schemas, tables, column, relationships) and interaction with the database
(queries). In short, it is a model for modelling data in databases and
other datastores. With MetaModel you can query different datastores like
databases, CSV files, Excel spreadsheets, and XML files using the same
approach and the same domain model.
Changes: Major restructuring was done to make the project more modular.
DataContextFactory was added for easy construction of DataContext objects.
The built-in query-engine, "Query postprocessor", used to serve CSV, Excel,
and XML content, has recieved numerous improvements to performance and
functinality. Column types can now be detected, narrowed, and values
transformed using the Query postprocessor engine. Information schemas are
generated to investigate metadata about CSV, Excel, and XML files. JDBC
datastores now have a rewriter component which allows for optimization of
queries using native SQL.

[019] - OOWeb 0.8.0
by Darren Davison (http://freshmeat.net/users/davison/)
Sat, Nov 8th 2008 18:46
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: OOWeb is a lightweight, embedded HTTP server for Java applications
that maps objects to URL directories, methods to pages, and
form/query-string arguments as method parameters. This allows for
unparalleled ease in creating, deploying, and testing Web applications.
Changes: The main improvement is the ability to add String, File, or
InputStream objects to the response body, ensuring that large files or
pipes can be delivered efficiently. These can be added to a response in
arbitrary order. There was a refactor to remove some cyclic dependencies, a
bugfix in the file upload code (which was adding extra bytes), and a bugfix
to decode some form parameters. 0.8.0 is not backward compatible with 0.7.x
due to the refactoring, but changes to client code will be trivial.

use with an x86_64, multi-lib Cross Linux from Scratch (CLFS) system. Since
then, it has been extended to be used on ix86 CLFS systems. PackManUtil
consists of several system-wide scripts to handle the brunt of the work. A
separate build script is created for each package. PackManUtil comes with a
system-wide configuration file, but variables can be overridden on a
package-specific basis in the build script. PackManUtil has also been
tested on Slamd64-12.1 and Slackware-12.1; however, these distributions are
not officially supported.
Changes: Additional build scripts were added. Build scripts that don't
build correctly were removed. The MD5SUMS file was added to release
installations in the doc directory. This is considered a stable release.

Adaptive Technologies
Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
About: Presage (formerly known as Soothsayer) is an intelligent predictive
text entry platform. It exploits redundant information embedded in natural
languages to generate predictions. Its modular and pluggable architecture
allows its language model to be extended and customized to utilize

Changes: This version is able to learn "on the fly" from the context and
the text currently being entered. The smoothed n-gram predictive plugin
dynamically learns from the current context, while generating new
predictions. An n-gram count consistency bug triggered by the dynamic
learning capability of the smoothed n-gram predictive plugin has been fixed
in this release. Completion validation routine case sensitiveness, various
compilation warnings, and prompter UTF8 encoding were fixed.

About: Vendetta Online is a multi-platform 3D space-combat MMO for
Windows, Mac, Linux/32 and Linux/64. The game permits players to interact
in a vast online galaxy; fighting, trading, and mining their way to
success. A "twitch" type real-time combat model makes true player skill the
deciding factor instead of character advancement. Massive capital-ship
battles shake the foundations of the major nations at war, while others
struggle to push back the encroachment of the AI "Hives". A no-strings free
trial is available.
Changes: Players may now "Forgive" PvP kills in faction-standing loss
situations. The "Sell Selected" button in the Commodities Sell tab was
changed to "Sell Selected...". The size of speed/energy/distance HUD
indicators was corrected for wide-screen modes. The aspect of the loading
screen and startup splash screen was corrected for wide-screen modes. A
trade xp exploit was fixed. An interface resolution bug was fixed. The ship
buyback price display when not all items were bought back was corrected.

Software Development :: Compilers
About: Wirbel is a programming language with a syntax and semantics
similar to Python. Unlike Python, it is a compiler language, and compiles
into native machine code. Wirbel programs execute very fast and do not need
any runtime environment, not even a library.
Changes: This version is the first one to work on Mac OS X. Also a few
bugs have been fixed.
