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 x264 video encoding support and fixes a few
bugs.

[002] - AnyEvent 4.34
by Marc A. Lehmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/pcg1/)
Sun, Feb 15th 2009 07:26
Software Development
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules
About: AnyEvent provides an identical interface to multiple event loops.
This allows module authors to utilize an event loop without forcing module
users to use the same event loop (as only a single event loop can coexist
peacefully at any one time). The interface itself is vaguely similar but
not identical to the Event module. On the first call of any method, the
module tries to detect the currently loaded event loop by probing for an
already-loaded event loop, such as Glib or Event. The first one found is
used. If none is found, the module tries to load an event module, and
failing that, it will fall back to an optimized pure Perl implementation.
Changes: This release adds an introductory tutorial. Also, many
workarounds for Windows and Tk bugs have been implemented, to make AnyEvent
behavior identical to Unix behavior. IPv6 support is only enabled when the
OS actually supports it. BSD platforms implementing the socket structures
incorrectly are now worked around. Unix domain sockets are now supported
transparently. NAPTR and SRV handling has been improved. Lastly, a great
many bugs and performance improvements have been applied, especially to
AnyEvent::Handle and TLS support.

[004] - aria2 1.2.0
by SlotGazer (http://freshmeat.net/users/slotgazer/)
Sun, Feb 15th 2009 17:39
Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: aria2 is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols
are HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink. It has a powerful segmented
downloading ability, downloading a file from multiple sources and multiple
protocols and utilizing your download bandwidth to the maximum. It supports
downloading a file from HTTP(S)/FTP and BitTorrent at the same time, while
the data downloaded from HTTP(S)/FTP is uploaded to the BitTorrent swarm.
Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of
data while downloading a file like BitTorrent.
Changes: This release adds the AdaptiveURISelector from Mandriva
developers, and changes the default value of the --proxy-method option from
"tunnel" to "get". Several BitTorrent options were added. HTTP
Authorization was also refined so that now authorization header is sent to
the server only when it is requested. aria2 now returns an exit code
depending on the last error. This release adds an experimental built-in
HTTP server that provides the current download progress in plain HTML.
Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian translations
were updated.

[022] - GNU ccScript 4.1.0
by David Sugar (http://freshmeat.net/users/davidsugar/)
Sun, Feb 15th 2009 07:40
Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Libraries
About: GNU ccScript offers a class extensible threaded embedded scripting
engine for use with the Common C++ GNU package. This engine is also used in
Bayonne (the GNU telephony server), and in TOSI (FreeBSD and GNU/Linux PBX
integration servers). This engine differs from traditional scripting
systems in that it is used to script near real-time state-event systems
through deterministic callback step execution rather than the linear and
non-deterministic fashion of embedded script libraries such as tcl, and
libguile.
Changes: Direct indexing and mapping of arrays, tuples, and dictionaries
using []'s and <> accessors rather than special operators is now possible.
Numeric and string assignment expressions and symbol manipulations (such as
pre-increment, push, pop, etc.) can now be directly used and have
simplified operator syntaxes. Local method blocks have been added so that
common code can be passed down from ccscript templates and overridden as
needed in derived script sections. More math operators were added for
numeric expressions.

[023] - GNU Virtual Private Ethernet 2.22
by Marc A. Lehmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/pcg1/)
Sun, Feb 15th 2009 07:25
Communications
Internet
System
About: GNU VPE creates a virtual ethernet by creating host-to-host tunnels
between multiple endpoints. Unlike other virtual private "network"
solutions which merely create a single tunnel, it creates a real network
with multiple endpoints. It is designed to be conceptually simple and
straightforward to setup (assuming prior IP routing knowledge) without
sacrificing flexibility. It is designed to sit on the gateway machines of
company branches to connect them, but it can also be used to tunnel into a
VPN with a variety of protocols (RAW IP, ICMP, UDP, TCP, HTTPS-Proxy, DNS).
Changes: This release mainly updates the embedded event library and fixes
some timer-related issues. Also, ICMP/TCP and HTTP-proxy protocol support
is now enabled by default, as those methods are now deemed to be as stable
as the existing UDP and raw IP protocols. Also, the DNS tunneling protocol
has been tweaked further.

System :: Operating System
System :: Operating System Kernels
About: The HelenOS project is an effort to develop a working operating
system. HelenOS supports SMP, multitasking, and multithreading on 32-bit
and 64-bit, little-endian and big-endian processor architectures, among
which are AMD64/EM64T (x86-64), ARM, IA-32, IA-64 (Itanium), 32-bit MIPS,
32-bit PowerPC, and SPARC V9. The extent to which these architectures are
supported differs from architecture to architecture. Some run on real
hardware, and some run only in a simulator.
Changes: This version brings a simple user command line interface called
bdsh and delivers a task loader and application tracer. Support for the FAT
file system and RAM disk block device have been added. This release
significantly improves native hardware support for the ia64, ppc32, and
sparc64 ports. The configuration system has been reworked and the console
subsystem is now much faster. As usual, this release brings lots of
bugfixes and other improvements.

About: Libev is a high-performance event loop for C (with optional and
separate interfaces for C++ and Perl), featuring support for I/O, timers
(relative and absolute, cron-like ones), signals, process status changes,
and other types of events. It has both a fast native API and libevent
emulation to support programs written using the libevent API. Differences
to libevent include higher speed, simpler design, more features, less
memory usage, embedability, and no arbitrary limits. libev supports epoll,
kqueue, Solaris event ports, poll, and select.
Changes: This release probes for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime instead
of only at compile time, so libev compiled on a newer system has a greater
chance of running on an older system. Also, an uninitialized variable has
been fixed that could cause failure during event loop creation on Windows
systems.

Sun, Feb 15th 2009 05:43
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Wiki
About: LionWiki is a minimalist file-based (doesn't need a database),
templatable, extensible wiki engine that works from just one file (30KB).
It supports page history, recent changes, interface localization, password
protection (both writing pages and seeing), and much more through plugins
(CAPTCHA, RSS, syntax for Tables). It's intended for small personal Web
sites, notebooks, and other simple applications. Installation is very easy:
just copy the file and create a directory.
Changes: A security hole in which the default password was not encoded was
fixed in the Admin plugin. A bug in generating tables of contents was
fixed. A bug in the PageVersions plugin was fixed. The upload plugin can't
upload .htaccess. The CAPTCHA plugin didn't work right because of a bad
data path setting. Comparing MD5 hashes is now case insensitive. A fix was
made for certain Web servers which don't translate "?action=" into
"index.php?action=" (for example).

by Bones0 (http://freshmeat.net/users/Bones0/)
Sun, Feb 15th 2009 23:15
System :: Recovery Tools
About: Magic Rescue scans a block device for file types it knows how to
recover and calls an external program to extract them. It looks at "magic
bytes" in file contents, so it can be used both as an undelete utility and
for recovering a corrupted drive or partition. It works on any file system,
but on very fragmented file systems it can only recover the first chunk of
each file. These chunks are sometimes as big as 50MB, however.
Changes: Two new recipes were added, enabling extraction of Nikon raw
files (NEF format) and 8-bit PPM files larger than 1000x1000 pixels.

[051] - Parted Magic 3.6
by Patrick Verner (http://freshmeat.net/users/patrickverner/)
Sun, Feb 15th 2009 06:02
About: The Parted Magic OS employs core programs from GParted and Parted
to handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful
programs including Partition Image, TestDisk, fdisk, sfdisk, dd, and
ddrescue and an excellent set of documentation to benefit the user. An
extensive collection of fileystem tools are also included, and the
following filesystems are supported: ext2, ext3, ext4, FAT16, FAT32, HFS,
HFS+, JFS, Linux-swap, NTFS, ReiserRS, reiser4, and XFS. It loads
completely to system memory and requires at least 300MB of RAM to operate.
Changes: This release offers a major overhaul in the way Parted Magic
boots. The live option is back and Parted Magic runs on a machine with
128MB of RAM. There is also a "low memory" option that disables unnecessary
daemons to speed up systems that only require trivial tasks, like running
GParted. The "live" option was tested on a PII with 128MB of RAM. There is
also a new way to mount devices: mount-gtk creates a consistant interface
to mount file systems found in fstab created by the pmagic_fstab_daemon.
The mount-gtkrc is dynamically updated so your newly created devices are
added to the mount list.

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 introduces multi-level undo/redo for all operations
that change table or matrix data. Many operations now support
non-contiguous selections. A new sidebar makes working with column- or
matrix-based data more convenient. Tables now support an individual formula
for each cell and a new formula editing mode.

Sun, Feb 15th 2009 08:34
Information Management
Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: Smilehouse Workspace is a Java based e-commerce application for
product, order, and customer information management. It can be used for
building and managing product catalogs, online stores, Webshops, and b-to-b
extranets. It currently runs on Tomcat and has two Web-based interfaces.
The first is a themed interface visible to the public, and the second is a
separate administration interface for managing both the appearance and
content of the published service (users and customers, product information
and related files, order information).
Changes: Improved bug collecting and handling processes have resulted in
the resolution of numerous bugs. The newly designed product card eliminates
the cumbersome tab layout, and the user can now choose which parts of the
product information to be currently visible. Products can be easily managed
with the newly introduced product type support. Product field labels can
now be changed as easily as clicking on the label and typing. New Kreditor
payment support offers invoicing solutions that are as easy to use as
credit card payments are for you.

[066] - Task Coach 0.72.1
by Frank Niessink (http://freshmeat.net/users/fniessink/)
Sun, Feb 15th 2009 06:42
Office/Business
About: Task Coach is a simple todo manager to manage personal tasks and
todo lists. It grew out of a frustration that well-known task managers,
such as those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not provide
facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things to do consist
of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with composite tasks.
Changes: This is a bugfix release. Bugs fixed include the reminder dialog
not working and integration issues with SyncML and Thunderbird.

Sun, Feb 15th 2009 23:11
System :: Monitoring
About: TaskForest is a simple but expressive job scheduler that allows you
to chain jobs and tasks and to create time dependencies. It uses plain-text
configuration files to specify task dependencies. It comes with a built-in
RESTful Web service. It was originally designed for a single machine, but
support for multiple machines is planned.
Changes: The system now includes a Perl-only Web server that implements a
human-usable Web interface to Taskforest, as well as a RESTful Web service
so that users can develop their client software to interact with the
system. The Web server supports SSL and the Basic Authentication scheme.
Other modifications include changes to the status command that allow the
user to browse logs from days in the past.

Sun, Feb 15th 2009 06:51
Database
Information Management
About: Tellico is a collection manager for KDE. It includes default
collections for books, bibliographies, comic books, videos, music, video
games, coins, stamps, trading cards, and wines, and also allows custom
collections. Unlimited user-defined fields are allowed. Filters are
available to limit the visible entries by definable criteria. Full
customization for printing is possible through editing the default XSLT
file. It can import CSV, Bibtex, Bibtexml, RIS, MODS, CDDB, and audio file
metadata and exports CSV, HTML, Bibtex, Bibtexml, ONIX, and PilotDB.
Entries may be imported directly from Amazon.com, imdb.com, any z39.50
bibliographic server, PubMed, or an external script.
Changes: Entry updating was fixed so that it does not combine multiple
values. The CueCat decoder was updated to work for both UPC and ISBN
searches. The Delicious Library importer was updated to import games and
movies. A query bug with z39.50 ISBN searches was fixed. Using images in a
local data directory no longer marks every collection as modified. A crash
when exporting to a small Alexandria collection was fixed.

Sun, Feb 15th 2009 20:53
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
Software Development :: Testing
About: Test-Run is an improved test harness for scripts that emit TAP
(Test Anything Protocol). It was forked from Test::Harness, and it uses
TAP::Parser. It is used to analyze the output of the scripts and present it
to the user in a summarized form. Test-Run features separation of the
test-running backend and the command line frontend, a "runprove" utility
for running tests from the command line, a plugin-system, and colors for
the summary line.
Changes: Test t/sample-tests/skipall was fixed. The name of the
construction function changed from _initialize to _init.
_register_obj_formatter() now accepts a hash ref instead of ($name,
$format).

[076] - Yet Another Freeware PDF-Composer 2.3
by Wolfgang Ullrich (http://freshmeat.net/users/ullrich/)
Sun, Feb 15th 2009 05:25
Printing
About: YAFPC (Yet Another Free PDF-composer) can compose PDF documents
from picture files and other PDF files, encrypt the created document, and
send it to a given email address. YAFPC is designed to act as a
command-line tool that combines with GhostScript to provide a network
shared PDF printer which automatically adds letterheads, company-logos,
watermarks, and Terms & Condition- pages to the printed documents, and then
mails the document to the user who initiated the print job. It has a
graphical user interface (GUI) for easy configuration and testing.
Easy-to-use sample scripts for setting up a PDF-printer on Windows or Linux
servers are included.
Changes: Command line arguments for SMTP authentication and SMTP port have

[077] - Zero Memory Widget 0.2.1
by Thierry Excoffier (http://freshmeat.net/users/exco/)
Sun, Feb 15th 2009 05:07
Software Development :: User Interfaces
Software Development :: Widget Sets
About: The Zero Memory Widget library is as powerful as classic widget
libraries, but it does not use a single bit of memory per widget. So with
this library, there is no widget pointer/reference, instance
creation/destruction, event handler function, functions to read/write data
between widget and application, and so on. GUI programming with this
library is done in the C language, and it is as easy as composing an HTML
page.
Changes: This release works with the current GDK/GTK versions.
