cache was implemented to cache information about infected files and avoid
re-scanning until file change. Finally, ClamFS has filesystem statistics
that allow you to monitor and tune its performance.

  Sat, Feb 7th 2009 20:46



About: svenson is a JSON generator/parser that allows you to convert JSON
data sets into graphs of Java objects and vice-versa. It supports the whole
range of just using collection classes for your Java object graphs or your
own types or something in between, like your own types with Java properties
and dynamic properties. svenson offers a set of annotations and interfaces
that give you fine-grained control over how JSON is generated or parsed.

Changes: A quote character quoting bug, which occurred when using a single
quote as JSON quoting character, was fixed. Parsing to and from enums was
added. Minor bugs were fixed.

[032] - Vendetta Online 1.8.57 
  by Incarnate (http://freshmeat.net/users/incarnate/)
  Sat, Feb 7th 2009 10:31

Games/Entertainment
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: New starting locations and a training weapon for new characters
and Matrox TripleHead2Go Surround Gaming support. The sector player list
sort mode is now saved. Hive Skirmish missions give free repair and ammo
refill in Hive Skirmish capships. Border Skirmish capships now start in
formation and stay close to their original position. Battle music starts in
BS and HS sectors.
