[001] - AsDoclet 1.1.3
by Harald (http://freshmeat.net/users/haraldradi/)
Thu, Feb 5th 2009 18:31
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Documentation
About: AsDoclet can be used to generate Actionscript and C# files out of
Java sources. Such a tool is useful for RIA and client/server applications
where value objects are transmitted between server and client as serialized
data that should be deserializable on both ends again. That includes
remoting technologies like Flash Remoting, RTMP, Blaze DS, Red5, and
Hessian.

[002] - Aspyct 3k beta 1
by Antoine d'Otreppe (http://freshmeat.net/users/antoine_935/)
Thu, Feb 5th 2009 21:30
Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules
About: Aspyct is a Python (both 2.x and 3.x) module that implements AOP
(aspect oriented programming). It's a two-part library containing both a
highly flexible engine and a light one.
Changes: Aspyct3k features compatibility with the new Python 3000 engine,
as well as with Python 2.6. In addition, the new Smarty engine is available
as a replacement for the old and slow Core.

[004] - Asymptote 1.61
by John Bowman (http://freshmeat.net/users/jcbowman/)
Thu, Feb 5th 2009 11:04
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: A workaround was implemented for a dvips misconfiguration in
TeXlive 2008 that introduces unwanted %%BeginPaperSize commands into the
EPS output. The -q option was reinstated and the asymptote.py Python module
was fixed. The bezulate.asy module now enforces the same zerowinding
fillrule as used by dvips. In solids.asy, a warning is issued if the
silhouette routine is used in a fully 3D context. The freeglut extensions
for supporting user-specified multisampling values were re-instated. A
freeglut segmentation fault triggered by spurious window creation was
fixed. An aspect ratio problem was fixed.

[005] - dhcpcd-dbus 0.2.0
by Roy Marples (http://freshmeat.net/users/uberl0rd/)
Thu, Feb 5th 2009 15:06
System :: Networking
About: dhcpcd-dbus receives interface configuration events from the dhcpcd
control socket and emits them to the DBus listeners. It also has methods to
release, rebind, stop, and query dhcpcd on an interface. This allows users
to control dhcpcd to some extent, as all dhcpcd operations require root
privileges, and DBus has a fine-grained ACL list for accessing these
functions which dhcpcd-dbus can optionally use. dhcpcd-dbus can also talk
to wpa_supplicant via its control socket and expose a minimal interface.
Changes: The dhcpcd event loop is used to better manage things.
wpa_supplicant support is more robust. Most of the wpa_supplicant socket
API is now exported.

[006] - dhcpcd-gtk 0.2.0
by Roy Marples (http://freshmeat.net/users/uberl0rd/)
Thu, Feb 5th 2009 15:08
Desktop Environment :: Gnome
System :: Networking
About: dhcpcd-gtk is a GTK+ monitor for dhcpcd. It uses dhcpcd-dbus to
talk to dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant. At present, dhcpcd-gtk is just an
application that sits in the notification area. The icon has several
states, showing offline, address negotiation, and online. When attempting
to negotiate an address, you get a nice animation. A notification bubble is
also shown per interface state change. Future versions will have Access
Point selection and dhcpcd configuration options.
Changes: A list of available APs is now available via a dropdown menu,
which shows if each AP is encrypted or not and its signal quality. You can
click one to configure its PSK or WEP key 0.

[007] - Dnsmasq 2.47
by Simon Kelley (http://freshmeat.net/users/simonkelley/)
Thu, Feb 5th 2009 21:30
Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
About: Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP
server. It is designed to provide DNS and (optionally) DHCP to a small
network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the
global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows
machines with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names
configured either in each host or in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq
supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP/TFTP for network booting
of diskless machines.
Changes: Bugs fixed include NetBSD 5.0 compatibility, DBus configuration,
and network interface binding. Additional features include more flexible
encapsulated DHCP options (for gPXE), better DHCP packet matching
facilities, and IP address rewriting.

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Internet
About: DynaStop is a utility to examine IPv4 based addresses for Exim and
procmail for the purpose of filtering based upon patterns defined by the
administrator. This can be a pivotal factor in email filtering and server
load management, since dynamic IP addresses are typically used for dial-up,
DHCP, and DSL accounts. All of which have a designated mail exchange server
through which all outbound mail flows as defined with many, if not most,
large Internet service providers.
Changes: The BleedingThreats, WhiteList, DropList, VirusList, and
UnsubList example config files were updated.

Windows XP/Vista, or FreeBSD. It supports several e-book formats: epub,
plucker, palmdoc, zTXT, HTML, CHM, fb2, TCR (psion text), OEB, OpenReader,
RTF, non-DRM'ed Mobipocket, and plain text.
Changes: Some issues related to multi-file tar, tar.gz, and tar.bz2
archives have been fixed. Greek hyphenation patterns were regenerated from
another TeX source; the new version has no license issues from the Debian
point of view.

[010] - fsarchiver 0.4.1
by François Dupoux (http://freshmeat.net/users/fdupoux/)
Thu, Feb 5th 2009 15:33
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Filesystems
System :: Recovery Tools
About: fsarchiver is a system tool that allows you to save the contents of
a filesystem to a compressed archive file. The filesystem can be restored
on a partition that has a different size, and it can be restored on a
different filesystem. Unlike tar/dar, fsarchiver also creates the
filesystem when it extracts the data to partitions. Everything is
checksummed in the archive in order to protect the data. If the archive is
corrupt, you just lose the current file, not the whole archive.
Changes: This version is able to archive and extract NTFS filesystems. It
can be used to flexibly clone NTFS partitions. This means you can restore
the backup of an NTFS filesystem to a partition which is smaller than the
original or somewhere else on the disk. It has been tested on the XP
version of Windows only. This requires the advanced release of ntfs-3g
(systemrescuecd-1.1.5-beta15 is a live CD that comes with fsarchiver-0.4.1
and all its requirements). This version also adds a command that shows all
the filesystems of the computer: "fsarchiver probe simple".

[011] - get_iplayer 1.29
by Linuxcentre (http://freshmeat.net/users/linuxcentre/)
Thu, Feb 5th 2009 18:51
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Multimedia :: Video
About: get_iplayer allows a user to download or stream any BBC iPlayer TV
program (H.264/Quicktime), ITVplayer TV programs (ASF/WMV), iPlayer radio
programs (MP3/RealAudio), and BBC podcasts (MP3/AAC). It even downloads
iPlayer subtitles. It supports RTMP iPlayer downloads. It has full PVR
functionality for automatic downloading.
Changes: This release adds a --fields option to allow the user to
customize which program fields to search using a comma-separated list. If
".get_iplayer/" exists in the current working directory, its options file
is used to override any user/system options. A --pvrqueue option has been
added to allow matching programs to be added to the PVR download queue on a
one-off basis. This release will only skip the current program download,
and not exit, if the file already exists. A benign --comment option has
been added to allow annotation of PVR searches.

[012] - Ghostscript 8.64
by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
Thu, Feb 5th 2009 21:28
Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers
About: Ghostscript is a processor for PostScript and PDF files. It can
rasterize these files to a wide variety of printers, devices for screen
preview, and image file formats. Since applications tend to prepare pages
for printing in a high-level format such as PostScript, most Unix users
with low-level bitmap printers, such as inkjets, use GhostScript as part of
the printing process. In addition, Ghostscript is capable of converting
PostScript files, functionality comparable to Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but
on the command line. In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and
viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick,
gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files
exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far
from a comprehensive list.
Changes: Improvements were made for overprint and spot color support in
documents with transparency, as well as for PDF and PS output. Proper
handling of PDF-specific text rendering modes was implemented. Support for
reading AES-encrypted PDF documents was added. Handling of CJK text,
especially in vertical writing modes, was improved. The memory footprint
with certain files at high resolutions was reduced. Several long-standing
bugs in the PCL drivers with respect to duplex, resolution, and paper tray
selection were fixed. Many other bugs were fixed.

Communications :: Telephony
Office/Business
Security
About: GNU SIP Witch is a pure SIP-based office telephone call server that
supports generic phone system features like call forwarding, hunt groups
and call distribution, call coverage and ring groups, holding, and call
transfer, as well as offering SIP specific capabilities such as presence
and messaging. It supports secure telephone extensions for making calls
over the Internet, and intercept/decrypt-free peer-to-peer audio and video
extensions. It is not a SIP proxy, a multi-protocol telephone server, or an
IP-PBX, and does not try to emulate Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, or Yate.
Changes: A CGI-based XMLRPC API was introduced. Call maps were added for
live status of active calls. More data collection and statistical services
were added.

simulations module (XpertEdit). Available simulations include polymer and
monomer chemical modifications, polymer sequence cleavage, gas-phase
fragmentation, m/z ratio calculations, and more.
Changes: This release fixes a bug that would provide inexact oligomers
when cleaving with a specification involving left-cutting and right-cutting
activities like "K/;/D", for example. It adds a feature to edit a polymer
sequence by clicking onto monomers in the list of available monomers.

[023] - MSAR-W 1.3
by MSARRaptor (http://freshmeat.net/users/MSARRaptor/)
Thu, Feb 5th 2009 18:39
About: MSAR-W stands for MultiScale AutoRegressive modeling with Wavelets.
It is a software toolkit written in Matlab 5.2. MSAR-W requires only base
Matlab (no toolboxes needed). MSAR-W can produce multi-scale autoregressive
(AR) models of data. These models can be integer, fractional, or mixed
integer and fractional. Model orders can be different for each wavelet
resolution level. Users can choose a spline wavelet or a Haar wavelet. If
the data is multi-scale, MSAR-W can produce better-fitting models than
conventional AR models.
Changes: A bug in the model coefficient info report has been fixed. The
documentation has been updated. Reporting/display functions have been
updated. A feature for users to eliminate specific wavelet resolution
levels has been added. Ploting of actual and residual autocorrelations has
been added.

[044] - safecopy 1.0
by Corvus V Corax (http://freshmeat.net/users/CorvusVCorax/)
Thu, Feb 5th 2009 05:39
System :: Recovery Tools
Utilities
About: safecopy is a data recovery tool which tries to extract as much
data as possible from a seekable but problematic (i.e., damaged sectors)
source like floppy drives, hard disk partitions, CDs, etc., where other
tools like dd would fail due to I/O errors.
Changes: Safecopy has undergone enough maturing for a 1.0 release. It went
from a simple sequential data copying tool with the ability to skip over
I/O errors to a generic data recovery swiss army knife that can resurrect
data from almost anything, while at the same time being tuneable, verbose,
and interoperable with other tools (thanks to badblock lists and machine
readable output). It now provides advanced features like marking of bad
data to later find affected files, and forced head re-positioning to
increase fault tolerance rates of some devices.

Security
System :: Networking
About: Scannedonly is a samba VFS module that ensures that only files that
have been scanned for viruses are visible and accessible to the end user.
Scannedonly was developed because of scalability problems with samba-vscan.
Scannedonly comes in two parts: a Samba VFS module and (one or more)
daemons. The daemon scans files and marks them when they are known to be
clean. The samba module simply filters out files that aren't marked clean.
Changes: This release improves various logging messages and includes
compatibility with samba-3.2 (tested against samba-3.2.4).

release, extracts the archive, and starts the setup. It is no longer
necessary to copy all the extracted files via FTP. Setting permissions is
also easier, since only one directory needs to be made writable. The
installer has only 26 KB, and also works on systems not connected to the
Internet by using a local archive file of Simple Groupware.

About: sqlmap is a command line automatic SQL injection tool developed in
Python. Its goal is to detect and take advantage of SQL injection
vulnerabilities in Web applications. Once it detects one or more SQL
injections on the target host, the user can choose from a variety of
options to perform an extensive back-end database management system
fingerprint, retrieve DBMS session user and database, enumerate users,
password hashes, privileges, and databases, dump entire or user-specific
DBMS tables/columns, run his own SQL statement, read specific files on the
filesystem, and more.
Changes: A major enhancement was implemented to make the comparison
algorithm work properly on URLs that are not stable by using the difflib
Sequence Matcher object. A major enhancement was done to support SQL data
definition statements, SQL data manipulation statements, et cetera from the
user in SQL query and SQL shell if stacked queries are supported by the Web
application technology. A major speed increase was made in DBMS basic
fingerprint.

created objects to support data objects that contain bi-directional
relationships. It can also keep the used converters (useful for debugging).
Some new converters have been added: BeanToBean, EnumToEnum,
ImmutableIdentityConverter, StringToQName, and StringToTimeZone. There is
also now the notion of modifiers than can be applied after conversion
(CanonicalizeFile, LowerCaseString, ResolveFile, TrimString, and
UppercaseString).
