[003] - Back In Time 0.8.10
by Dan (http://freshmeat.net/users/danleweb/)
Sat, Nov 22nd 2008 10:35
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: SnapshotsDialog now has a right-click popup menu and a toolbar
with copy and restore buttons. A more robust backup lock file is used.
Logging is now done through syslog. A small bug in copying to the clipboard
was fixed. The Spanish translation was updated.

Sat, Nov 22nd 2008 18:33
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion
About: BIRT is a simple application that allows a large number of images
to be resized in one go. It was created in order to facilitate the
maintenance of an online photo album where each hi-res photo needs a
low-res copy and a thumbnail.
Changes: The format (PNG, JPEG, etc.) of images can now be changed as they
are resized. Lossless image formats now produce smaller output files. The
build system should now work out of the box on standard Linux
distributions. The output file name suffix is now inserted in the correct
place.

[006] - clive 2.0beta4 (Development)
by legatvs (http://freshmeat.net/users/legatvs/)
Sat, Nov 22nd 2008 18:40
Multimedia :: Video
About: clive is a command line utility for extracting videos from Youtube
and other video sharing Web sites. It was originally written to bypass the
Adobe Flash requirement needed to view the hosted videos. It is
non-interactive, meaning it can work in the background while the user is
not logged on. This allows the user to start an extraction and disconnect
from the system, letting clive finish the work.
Changes: This release adds support for the clivepass utility, removes
Metacafe support, fixes the Youtube log-in feature, and makes minor tweaks
to the source code.

[009] - darcs 2.1.2
by Eric Kow (http://freshmeat.net/users/EricKow/)
Sat, Nov 22nd 2008 00:43
Software Development :: Version Control
About: Darcs is an advanced revision control system. It has two
particularly distinctive features which differ from other revision control
systems: each copy of the source is a fully functional branch, and
underlying it is a consistent and powerful theory of patches. In spite of
its power, darcs is simple to use, in part because of the symmetry that is
restored by making each copy of the repository a branch.
Changes: This release provides GHC 6.10 support and fixes a crash on
Windows with the darcs help command.

[013] - fuselagefs 0.0.2
by Ben Martin (http://freshmeat.net/users/monkeyiq/)
Sat, Nov 22nd 2008 00:45
System :: Filesystems
About: fuselagefs consists of a C++ wrapper class for FUSE called
Fuselagefs, as well as Delegatefs, which is a Fuselagefs subclass that
delegates all operations to an underlying base filesystem. With Delegatefs,
you can expose dir1 at mountpoint dir2 very easily as a FUSE filesystem.
Subclasses of Delegatefs can then be created, which add a little extra
functionality to the delegation operation but rely on the parent class to
perform the work and return errors to FUSE in an appropriate manner. An
example subclass is petardfs.
Changes: This release adds BASEDIR handling to main(). It fixes a bug in
delegatefs xattr methods.

Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
Games/Entertainment :: First Person Shooters
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: This release added a video option to reset FOV and HUD size upon
video resolution change. An issue with changing HUD size while being
damaged was fixed. Improvements were made to server stability.
