[001] - ACE 5.6.8 (Development)
  by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
  Tue, Feb 10th 2009 21:51

Software Development :: Libraries

About: The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) is an object-oriented
(OO) C++ framework that helps you develop and deploy high-performance
networked applications faster and with less code to write and maintain. ACE
is especially useful for systems that use network and/or inter-process
communications and that take advantage of multithreading. While the ACE
source code is free, that's not the only way you save money with ACE. ACE's
wrappers and higher-level patterns help you develop your software quickly
and portably, helping you to complete your projects on time and within
budget.

Changes: This release adds a new ACE::isdotdir() function. It has improved
WinCE Unicode support. A crash when the ACE thread tries to inherit the
logging attributes from non ACE threads has been fixed. Race conditions in
the transport cache and when multiple threads make a connection to the same
server have been fixed. Many small memory leaks, compile errors, and test
errors have been fixed. Log output formatting has been fixed. Several tests
have been updated to the new test framework. There is some code refactoring
and acceleration.

  Tue, Feb 10th 2009 14:36



About: checksysreport performs some automatic tests against a directory
containing an untarred Red Hat Enterprise Linux sysreport. You will need a
valid Red Hat Network login in order to use it, as it fetches information
from RHN using the RHN API (see https://rhn.redhat.com/rpc/api/). A
graphical tool, yadarh, is also included: it uses the cache generated by
checksysreport to display RPMs in a given channel and lets you browse them
to have a list of errata and new entries in changelogs that come with other
versions of the same package. 

Changes: The XML-RPC timeout was changed to 300 seconds when filling the
cache so that large advisories such as RHEA-2009:0272 can be handled. The
new format of sos for installed RPMs was not recognized.

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
Security :: Cryptography

About: Djigzo is an email server (MTA) that encrypts and decrypts your
incoming and outgoing email. Because Djigzo serves as a general SMTP email
server, it is compatible with any existing email infrastructure and can
easily be placed before or after existing email servers. Djigzo is
typically installed as a "store and forward" server. Email is therefore
only temporarily stored until it is forwarded to its final destination.
Djigzo currently supports two encryption standards: S/MIME and PDF
encryption.

[017] - Dotiac::DTL 0.8 
  by Maluku (http://freshmeat.net/users/Maluku/)
  Tue, Feb 10th 2009 14:09

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Text Processing :: Markup

About: Dotiac::DTL is a module that can interpret and compile templates
written in the Django Template Language for the programming language Perl.
It is simple and extensible, and focuses on fast parsing and execution
instead of syntax checks.

Changes: This release adds many improvements for addons. The main feature
is switching the parser while parsing, which allows Dotiac::DTL to parse
even other template languages, such as HTML::Template (with
Dotiac::DTL::Addon::html_template). It can even parse mixtures of
HTML::Template and Django template syntax. This gives the ability to extend
old HTML::Template templates with new Django features by changing one line
of Perl. Memory usage has also been reduced while using addons and compiled
templates.

Desktop Environment :: File Managers
Multimedia :: Graphics
System :: Archiving

About: Endeavour Mark II is a complete file management suite that comes
with a file browser, image browser, archiver, recycled objects system, and
a set of file and disk management utility programs. 

Changes: The primary changes involve renaming of Endeavour Mark II API
function names. New API functions were also added. No changes were made to
the behavior of existing functions. The old Endeavour API
(libendeavour2.so) will be preserved when you install the new 3.1.1, so
your old programs that use the old API will still work. The old API library
will be moved to /usr/lib/libendeavour2.so (which was formerly a link). New
customizations were added to the Recycle Bin contents list headings. The
Recycle Bin is now "locked" during access to prevent it from being
corrupted when multiple programs access it.

  Tue, Feb 10th 2009 14:51

Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
System
System :: Archiving

About: G4L is a hard disk and partition imaging and cloning tool. The
created images are optionally compressed, and they can be stored on a local
hard drive or transferred to an anonymous FTP server. A drive can be cloned
using the "Click'n'Clone" function. G4L supports file splitting if the
local filesystem does not support writing files >2GB. The included kernel
supports ATA, serial-ATA, and SCSI drives. Common network cards are
supported. It is packaged as a bootable CD image with an ncurses GUI for
easy use.

Changes: The 0.28 update included updates to the Linux kernels of 2.6.27
and above that removed things that appeared to be unnecessary, or at least
had recommendations to exclude if in doubt, but this appears to have caused
problems with USB keyboards. This version update includes rebuilds of all

System :: Systems Administration

About: GOsa² provides a powerful framework for managing accounts and
systems in LDAP databases. Using GOsa² allows system administrators to
easily manage users and groups, fat and thin clients, applications, phones

Internet
Security
Security :: Cryptography

About: ipt_pkd is an iptables extension implementing port knock detection
with SPA (single packet authorization). This project provides 3 parts: the
kernel module ipt_pkd, the iptables user space module libipt_pkd.so, and a
user space client knock program. For the knock packet, it uses a UDP packet
sent to a random port that contains a SHA-256 of a timestamp, small header,
random bytes, and a shared key. ipt_pkd checks the time window of the
packet and does the SHA-256 to verify the packet. The shared key is never
sent. 

Changes: This release adds support for 2.6.28 Linux kernels, and added
support for iptables 1.4.2.

[054] - safecopy 1.1 
  by Corvus V Corax (http://freshmeat.net/users/CorvusVCorax/)
  Tue, Feb 10th 2009 18:15

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: This release adds a lower level hardware access layer with
support for reading CD-ROM data in raw mode as well as issuing device
resets on errors, further increasing speed and recovery rate on affected
devices. Additionally, the default behaviour on skipping bad areas changed
slightly, introducing a new command line switch to change the skip step
size over bad areas independently of the block size. This speeds recovery
up considerably when a high skip factor is desired.

[055] - SaVi 1.4.2 
  by Lloyd Wood (http://freshmeat.net/users/lloydwood/)
  Tue, Feb 10th 2009 21:53

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
Scientific/Engineering :: Astronomy
Scientific/Engineering :: Geographical

About: SaVi is satellite visualization software that lets you create, run,
examine, and modify satellite orbits in two and three dimensions.
Simulations of Iridium, Globalstar, Galileo, GPS, and other satellite
constellations are included. SaVi requires Tcl and Tk on a system with Unix
libraries. SaVi works well with the 3D renderer Geomview. Geomview is
optional, though recommended for its 3D rendering capabilities.

Changes: This release includes fixes for a couple of rare Tcl/Tk errors,
makes -redrawn-menus the default on Mac OS X to work around a bug in using
the 10.5 Leopard menubar, adds a View Source... option, and adds more
elevation circles to large fisheyes.

[056] - SciDAVis 0.1.4 
  by Knut Franke (http://freshmeat.net/users/think4d/)
  Tue, Feb 10th 2009 22:27

Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization

About: SciDAVis is an interactive application aimed at data analysis and
publication-quality plotting. It combines a shallow learning curve and an
intuitive, easy-to-use graphical user interface with powerful features such
as scriptability and extensibility. It is similar in its field of
application to proprietary Windows applications like Origin and SigmaPlot,
as well as free applications like QtiPlot, Labplot, and Gnuplot.  What sets
SciDAVis apart from the above is its emphasis on providing a friendly and
open environment (in the software as well as the project) for new and
experienced users alike, and particularly in providing good documentation
on all levels.

Changes: This release fixes some serious problems regarding weighted
linear and polynomial fits, estimation of parameter errors for non-linear
fits with unknown Y errors, and computation of R^2 in case of known Y
errors. It also fixes handling of parameters in fit curve formulas as well
as constant fit parameters, both of which used naive string-substitution.
Finally, the release fixes a problem with FFT filters that could lead to
inaccurate results. The hack that prevents axes gaps in graph vector
exports (EPS, PDF, SVG) has been ported from QtiPlot. A Russian translation
has been added.

[060] - Stunnix VBScript and ASP Obfuscator and Encoder 3.9 
  by Stunnix (http://freshmeat.net/users/stunnix/)
  Tue, Feb 10th 2009 21:41

Internet
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers

About: Stunnix VBS-Obfus protects your VBScript code from potential
analysis, study, or reworking by unwanted parties. It's both an obfuscator
and encoder for the VBScript code. It converts the VBScript in raw .vbs
files, or in ASP or HTML pages into a highly obfuscated form, making it
extremely difficult to study, analyse, or reuse, while fully retaining
functionality of the original source code. It optionally adds expiration
and hostname checking. It has a lot of options to control all aspects of
code hiding, and has full support for all syntax constructs. It is designed
to be multi-module aware. 

Changes: Compatibility with Cygwin has been achieved. Minor improvements
to the Project Manager GUI have been made.

  Tue, Feb 10th 2009 14:12

Communications
Internet
Internet :: Proxy Servers

About: Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and  groups
to improve their privacy and security on the Internet.  It also enables
software developers to create new  communication tools with built-in
privacy features. It  provides the foundation for a range of applications
that allow  organizations and individuals to share information over  public
networks without compromising their privacy.  Individuals can use it to
keep remote Websites from tracking  them and their family members. They can
also use it to  connect to resources such as news sites or instant 
messaging services that are blocked by their local Internet  service
providers (ISPs). 

Changes: This version features several more security-related fixes. You
should upgrade, especially if you run an exit relay (which is vulnerable to
a remote crash bug) or a directory authority (which is vulnerable to a
remote infinite loop), or if you're on an older (pre-XP) or
not-recently-patched Windows operating system (which can be attacked with a
remote exploit).
