Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
About: AceWiki is a semantic wiki that is powerful and at the same time
easy to use. Making use of the controlled natural language ACE, the formal
statements of the wiki are shown in a way that looks like natural English.
In order to help the users to write correct ACE sentences, AceWiki provides
a predictive authoring tool.
Changes: The behavior of questions has been improved. When an answer is
recalculated, the (possibly out-of-date) cached answer is shown until the
recalculation is finished. The same is done for the contents of the
assignments tab, the individuals tab, and the hierarchy tab. The wiki
articles can now be enriched with comments. AceWiki is now more responsive
when several reasoning requests are pending. Simple questions like "what is
Switzerland?" now return the classes of the individual (instead of just
returning the individual itself).

2.6.27. Compiz Fusion is used for 3D Desktop effects. Most of the Ubuntu
Multimedia packages are included. GNOME 2.24 and KDE 4.2 are available. The
Ubiquity installer is used, but has not been extensively tested, so backing
up before installing is recommended.

[013] - DBIx::Perlish 0.52
by Grrrr (http://freshmeat.net/users/Grrrr/)
Mon, Feb 16th 2009 15:57
About: The DBIx::Perlish module provides the ability to work with
databases supported by the DBI module using Perl's own syntax for the four
most common operations: SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and INSERT. By using
DBIx::Perlish, you can write most of your database queries using a
domain-specific language with Perl syntax. However, the module is not
intended to replace all use of SQL in your program. The DBIx::Perlish
module quite intentionally neither implements nor cares about database
administration tasks like schema design and management.
Changes: Support for parse-time conditional expressions was added with
real if statements.

camera settings from the Exif format files used by many digital cameras. It
handles the various confusing ways these can be expressed, and displays
them as F-stop, shutter speed, etc. It is also able to reduce the size of
digital camera JPEGs without loss of information, by deleting integral
thumbnails that digital cameras put into the Exif header. If you need to
add Exif support to a program, this is a simple program to cut and paste
from. Many projects, including PHP, have reused code from this utility.
Changes: A recently introduced bug with "-ce" was fixed. The ability to
move files with the -n option was added. Various minor typo and
documentation fixes were made.

Internet
System
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: Keepalived for LVS aims to add a strong and robust keepalive
facility to the Linux Virtual Server project. This project is written in C
with multilayer TCP/IP stack checks. It implements a framework based on
three family checks: Layer3, Layer4, and Layer5. This framework gives the
daemon the ability of checking a LVS server pool states.When one of the
servers in the LVS server pool is down, keepalived informs the Linux kernel
via a setsockopt call to remove this server entry from the LVS topology. In
addition, it implements a VRRPv2 stack to handle director failover.
Changes: A lot of pending patches were merged. Support was added to the
alpha/omega framework for healthchecker management. The VRRP scheduler was
extended to support an internal monotonic clock. A VRRP reelection issue
while using IPSEC AH auth was fixed. The VRRP reloading process was fixed
to offer graceful restart. The VRRP virtual_route framework was extended to
support black hole route as well as multihop routes.

About: Shake is a defragmenter that runs in user-space while the system is
in use (for now, on GNU/Linux only), without the need to patch the kernel,
and without the need to patch the kernel. Unlike xfs_fsr, it only uses
functions common to all filesystems. It aims to evaluate the cost of
fragmentation based on criteria such as fragment number, distance from
"friends" (by default, a group of files used at the same time), file age
(rewriting old files allow the filesystem to reclaim free space), file
size, and number of "crumbs" (very small fragments that force the head to
move repetetively). A Python module that parses the output of the verbose
mode is included.

[065] - Ubuntu Privacy Remix 8.04r3
by UPR Team (http://freshmeat.net/users/uprteam/)
Mon, Feb 16th 2009 18:34
Office/Business
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions :: CD-Based
About: Ubuntu Privacy Remix is a modified live CD based on Ubuntu Linux.
UPR is not intended for permanent installation on a hard disk. The goal of
Ubuntu Privacy Remix is to provide an isolated working environment where
private data can be dealt with safely. The system installed on the computer
running UPR remains untouched. It does this by removing support for network
devices as well as local hard disks. Ubuntu Privacy Remix includes
TrueCrypt and GnuPG for encryption and introduces "extended TrueCrypt
volumes".
Changes: This release contains all security updates and bugfixes of Ubuntu
8.04 until 12/2/09, minor bugfixes, and feature enhancements, most notably
overwriting free memory on shutdown to prevent a special UPR-specific
side-channel attack.

[068] - VTD-XML 2.5
by jimmy Zhang (http://freshmeat.net/users/jzhang2005/)
Mon, Feb 16th 2009 15:26
Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: Virtual Token Descriptor for eXtensible Markup Language (VTD-XML)
refers to a collection of efficient XML processing technologies centered
around a non-extractive XML parsing technique called Virtual Token
Descriptor (VTD). Depending on the perspective, VTD-XML can be viewed as
either an XML parser, a native XML indexer or a file format that uses
binary data to enhance the text XML, an incremental XML content modifier,
an XML slicer/splitter/assembler, or an XML editor/eraser.
Changes: Separate VTD indexing generating and loading was added. See
http://vtd-xml.sf.net/persistence.html for further information. Extended
VTD was integrated, supporting 256 GB documents (in Java only).
duplicateNav() was added for replicating multiple VTDNav instances sharing
XML, VTD, and LC buffer (available in Java and C#). Various bugfixes and
enhancements were made.

[070] - Xataface 1.1.5
by Steve Hannah (http://freshmeat.net/users/shannah/)
Mon, Feb 16th 2009 21:05
Database
Database :: Front-Ends
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: Xataface is a flexible and shapable skin that sits on top of MySQL,
making it accessible to every-day users. It automatically generates the
appropriate forms, lists, and menus for a user to interact with the
database without having to know any SQL. It is a full-featured Web
application framework, and gives developers the flexibility to customize
the features and behavior of their application via configuration files
(using the simple INI-file syntax), templates, and plug-ins. A generic
application with no customizations is completely functional, but the
developer is free to customize things at his leisure.
Changes: This release adds the ability to delete selected records in list
view. Some modifications to the API include the implementation of the
Dataface_Record::delete() method, and the df_init() function now returns a
reference to the Dataface_Application object so that applications can be
written with only 2 lines of PHP code (if you are using PHP 5).

Mon, Feb 16th 2009 18:25
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: XIST is an extensible HTML and XML generator. It is also an XML
parser with a very simple and Python-esque tree API. Every XML element type
corresponds to a Python class, and these Python classes provide a
conversion method to transform the XML tree (e.g. into HTML). XIST can be
considered 'object-oriented XSLT'.
Changes: Template objects in UL4 templates now have a render() method that
returns the output string. The UL4 function int() now supports two
arguments.

[072] - xterm patch #242
by T.E.Dickey (http://freshmeat.net/users/tedickey/)
Mon, Feb 16th 2009 02:28
Desktop Environment
Terminals :: Terminal Emulators/X Terminals
About: The xterm program is the standard terminal emulator for the X
Window System. It provides DEC VT102/VT220 and Tektronix 4014 compatible
terminals for programs that can't use the window system directly. If the
underlying operating system supports terminal resizing capabilities (for
example, the SIGWINCH signal in systems derived from 4.3bsd), xterm will
use the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is
resized.
Changes: This release adds menu entries for enabling/disabling the various
"allow" features. It adds a resource for controlling when warnings for
missing fonts are reported. There are several minor bugfixes and
performance improvements.
