[001] - Alleyoop 0.9.4
by Jeffrey Stedfast (http://freshmeat.net/users/fejj/)
Sun, Feb 8th 2009 22:56
Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Software Development
Software Development :: Debuggers
About: Alleyoop is a GNOME frontend to the Valgrind memory checker. Its
features include a right-click context menu to intelligently suppress
errors or launch an editor on the source file, jumping to the exact line of
the error condition. A searchbar at the top of the viewer can be used to
limit the viewable errors to those that match the regex criteria entered. A
fully functional Suppressions editor is also included.
Changes: This release removes custom debugging symbol lookup code that was
unnecessary and broke the build on recent Linux distributions, and fixes
some bugs in the Valgrind error log parser.

Sun, Feb 8th 2009 16:43
Multimedia
Multimedia :: Video
Multimedia :: Video :: Conversion
About: ANDREW's Not a DVD Ripping and Encoding Wizard, but an interactive
command-line interface that simplifies the use of some programs to create
AVI, Matroska, or OGM files from DVDs. ANDREW works on-the-fly or ripping
DVDs to the hard drive; handles progressive, telecine, and interlaced NTSC
and PAL formats; encodes an entire title or a few chapters only; splits
movies into several files or encodes them by target size or video bit rate;
supports AVI, Matroska, and OGM containers; controls needed disk space
availability; and more.
Changes: This release adds DVD ripping automation, manual subtitle
selection mode, and hard-encoded subtitle support. It gets rid of the
ogmtools dependency.

[003] - Aqualung 0.9beta10
by Peter Szilagyi (http://freshmeat.net/users/peterszilagyi/)
Sun, Feb 8th 2009 12:59
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players
About: Aqualung is an advanced music player originally targeted at the
GNU/Linux operating system, and also running on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and
Microsoft Windows. It plays audio CDs, Internet radio streams, and podcasts
as well as sound files in just about any audio format, and has the feature
of inserting no gaps between adjacent tracks.
Changes: Programmable title format support was added by embedding a Lua
interpreter inside of Aqualung for the purpose of allowing the user full
control over the title format. It allows the user to use any metadata field
that Aqualung recognizes, as well as a few fields from the file information
in order to compose a title field. Music Stores can now use relative paths
instead of absolute ones, allowing users to mount the same collection on
different mount points (for example). A checkbox for toggling this feature
was added to the Edit Store dialog.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
About: CPPSERV is a Web application server / servlet container that
provides a Servlet-like API to C++. It also contains CSP (C++ Server Pages)
functionality, similar to pre-compiled JSP. It consists of stand-alone
application server and Web server front-ends. Modules for Apache and
lighttpd are available.
Changes: This release works around what seems to be a gcc-4.3 compilation
bug. When compiled with -O3 optimization, template instantiation of
dso_code::func for the case of void* gets ignored, resulting in an infinite
loop when func is called.

[006] - CrissCross 0.7.3
by moz (http://freshmeat.net/users/mozillagodzilla/)
Sun, Feb 8th 2009 22:54
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: CrissCross is a small cross-platform C++ library for console and
file I/O, CPU identification (CPUID), hashing (MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1,
SHA-256, SHA-512, Tiger), sockets (TCP and UDP only currently), and data
structures (LList, DArray, RedBlackTree, AVLTree, SplayTree, etc). It is
designed to run on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X, and
even the Nintendo DS. Other platforms may become supported upon request.
The main idea is to provide the ability to write a program using identical
calls on the major platforms without needing to rewrite code.
Changes: Most of the changes are miscellaneous bugfixes, though there are
a couple of which developers should take note. The trees no longer allow
duplicate keys. A Quadtree class has been added to facilitate nearest
neighbor searches. Mutexes have been rewritten and are infinitely more
useful.

[007] - crpcut 0.2.0
by Bjorn Fahller (http://freshmeat.net/users/rollbear/)
Sun, Feb 8th 2009 16:40
Software Development :: Testing
About: crpcut is the Compartmented Robust Posix C++ Unit Test system.
crpcut (pronounced "Crap Cut") runs all test cases in their own process and
their own working directory, which makes it perfectly normal to test that
asserts do trap, and the test suite continues even in the event of an
unexpected SIGSEGV. By using the C99 preprocessor, and a few other C++0x
features long available in GCC, the tests are extremely easy to write.

Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Ctalk is a compact object oriented language that adds classes,
methods, operator overloading, and inheritance to otherwise standard C
programs. You can use only a few Ctalk objects and methods in a C program,
or you can write programs entirely in Ctalk. The package includes a front
end for GCC, a C99 compatible preprocessor, and class and run-time
libraries. The package also includes sample programs, a tutorial, and
language reference.
Changes: This release adds serial terminal support in the
ANSITerminalStream class, and an updated version of the wiki.c example
program. It also contains additional methods in the TerminalStream and
FileStream classes, as well as many internal improvements and bugfixes.

About: deplate converts wiki-like markup to LaTeX (standard classes, koma,
dramatist), HTML/PHP (single page, chunked), DocBook, and really plain
text. Currently supported input formats are viki and Ruby's rdoc. The viki
markup supports footnotes, citations, index, table of contents, embedded
LaTeX for mathematics, integration with R for dynamically generated figures
and tables, and more. Output can be customized via page templates. deplate
is also suitable for creating stage- or screenplays, small Web sites, and
HTML-based slideshows.
Changes: Output to sweave (for preparation of R-based statistics reports
via LaTeX). XHTML output has support for SVG images. Footnotes in
abstracts, quotations etc. have been fixed. There is preliminary support

[010] - dvtm 0.5.1
by Marc Andre Tanner (http://freshmeat.net/users/0x6D6174/)
Sun, Feb 8th 2009 23:01
Desktop Environment :: Window Managers
Terminals
Utilities
About: dvtm brings the concept of tiling window management, popularized by
X11-window managers like dwm, to the console. As a console window manager,
it tries to make it easy to work with multiple console based programs like
vim, mutt, cmus, or irssi. dvtm is intended to be used where X11 isn't
available or over SSH. In conjunction with dtach, it can be seen as a
lightweight alternative to GNU screen.
Changes: This is a bugfix release that contains a compile fix for curses
libraries that do not provide the set_escdelay function. The home and end
keys should now work more reliably.

[011] - dynamic window manager 5.4
by garbeam (http://freshmeat.net/users/garbeam/)
Sun, Feb 8th 2009 12:50
Desktop Environment :: Window Managers
About: dwm is a fast and simple window manager for X11. It manages windows
in tiled and floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically,
optimizing the environment for the application in use and the task
performed. Windows can be tagged with one or multiple tags. Selecting
certain tags displays all windows that are accordingly tagged. dwm is the
little brother of wmii.
Changes: This release includes several code cleanups and doesn't draw
borders around single tiled clients in the view.

[012] - Epitome 1.1
by Marco Peereboom (http://freshmeat.net/users/slashmarco/)
Sun, Feb 8th 2009 06:58
System :: Archiving
About: The epitome suite consists of several discrete pieces that provide
storage deduplication services. Deduplication is defined as the elimination
of redundant data. The idea behind epitome is to provide a WORM-based
archive/backup mechanism that is lossless and offers permanent storage with
inherent data protection properties. Additionally, it provides several
metadata formats and back-ends to meet several usage models. It provides a
number of services to enable three major archiving technologies: CAS, SIS,
and DEDUP.
Changes: A regex bug where a single file extraction could fail was fixed.

Sun, Feb 8th 2009 07:08
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: Basic XML-RPC support has been completed, with a rather
Python-friendly interface model built around retrieval of range lists which
can then be directly iterated to retrieve instances of users, calls, and
stats from a remote GNU SIP Witch server. The SWIG interfaces have
similarly been updated to offer range lists, as well as expanded to
retrieve user registry information from shared memory. Support for extended
call state information is also provided.

Sun, Feb 8th 2009 06:42
Security :: Cryptography
About: PGP Individual UID Signer makes signing all the UIDs on all of the
keys at a PGP keysigning party much simpler. It prompts for verification
fingerprints, and then signs each UID on each key separately and emails
them to their recipients encrypted with PGP/MIME.
Changes: This is a major release. The default behavior has changed
significantly to be more user friendly. The most common options are now the
default. PGP/MIME messages are now supported as well as STARTTLS and
SMTPAUTH. In addition, the keys are minimized, error checking and handling
were significantly improved, and a lot of general code cleanup was done.
