Fri, Feb 20th 2009 09:37
Internet
Software Development
About: Avis is a multicast event bus. It provides a fast publish/subscribe
event routing service compatible with the commercial Elvin implementation
developed by Mantara Software.
Changes: A bug that stopped secure messages from being federated between
Avis and Mantara elvind routers was fixed. Note that this fix means that
Avis 1.2.2 will not federate secure messages with previous Avis router
releases.

[004] - Back In Time 0.9.8
by Dan (http://freshmeat.net/users/danleweb/)
Fri, Feb 20th 2009 14:36
System :: Archiving :: Backup
Utilities
About: Back In Time is a simple backup system for Linux (Gnome & KDE4)
inspired by the "flyback project" and "TimeVault". The backup is done by
taking snapshots of a specified set of directories. All you have to do is
configure: where to save snapshot, what directories to backup, and when a
backup should be done (manually, every hour, every day, every week, or
every month). It acts as a "user mode" backup system. This means that you
can backup and restore only folders to which you have write access.
Changes: This release updates the Spanish translation, ignores unsafe
links (a link to a file/directory outside of the included directories),
fixes a bug related to restoring files that contain space characters in
their names, adds copying to the clipboard and sorting files (by name,
size, or date) for KDE4, replaces multiple lines with a single crontab line
using division (*/5 or */10) for cron 5/10 minute jobs, and redirects
output (stdout and stderr) to /dev/null when called from cron.

[005] - cclive 0.2.3
by legatvs (http://freshmeat.net/users/legatvs/)
Fri, Feb 20th 2009 13:31
About: cclive is a command line video extraction utility similar to clive
but focusing on low requirements. Its features are few and essential.
Changes: This release addresses a file naming issue which caused files to
be named only as numeric suffices. An additional option has been added.

[006] - check_logfiles 2.5.5.2
by lausser (http://freshmeat.net/users/lausser/)
Fri, Feb 20th 2009 13:37
System :: Diagnostics
System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring
About: check_logfiles is a plugin for Nagios which checks logfiles for
defined patterns. It is capable of detecting logfile rotation. If you tell
it how the rotated archives look, it will also examine these files. Unlike
check_logfiles, traditional logfile plugins were not aware of the gap which
could occur, so under some circumstances they ignored what had happened
between their checks. A configuration file is used to specify where to
search, what to search, and what to do if a matching line is found.
Changes: The new option "winwarncrit" uses the event type WARNING/ERROR
from the Windows eventlog instead of critical/warning patterns. Another new
option is "maxlength", which truncates very long lines in a logfile.

[007] - clive 2.1.6 (Stable)
by legatvs (http://freshmeat.net/users/legatvs/)
Fri, Feb 20th 2009 13:41
Multimedia :: Video
About: clive is a command line utility for extracting videos from Youtube
and other video sharing Web sites. It was originally written to bypass the
Adobe Flash requirement needed to view the hosted videos. It is
non-interactive, meaning it can work in the background while the user is
not logged on. This allows the user to start an extraction and disconnect
from the system, letting clive finish the work.
Changes: This release makes changes to the existing options and updates
the bundled makefile. The help output has been tuned down and cleaned up.

booting Windows and OpenBSD), Plan 9, or memtest86.
Changes: This release fixes Bayou payload execution. It fixes MTRR setup
for UMA architectures. It increases ROM_IMAGE_SIZE for the Agami Aruma to
resolve overlapping sections. It adds dynamically generated P-States
infrastructure on applicable architectures. It adds QWord support to

About: Based on the same concept as the original Xteddy, cteddy is a
cuddly teddy bear for your composited X Windows desktop. Normally, cteddy
just sits around doing nothing. After all, that's what teddy bears are for.

large Internet service providers.

minimal external dependencies.
Changes: This release completes the revamp of the makl* tools, adds Unix
man pages for all makl* commands, supports Solaris/GCC and DragonFly BSD,
simplifies the auto-configuration procedure, supports the Intel C/C++
compiler on Linux, produces dynamic libraries (DLLs) on Windows via MinGW
and Cygwin, sets the OBJDIR variable to prog and lib templates for multiple
target builds, and adds a host of --makl-* commandline flags to maklsh.

[033] - Minnow Programming Language 1.0 alpha 3
by Jonathan Turner (http://freshmeat.net/users/jonathan_turner/)
Fri, Feb 20th 2009 09:02
Software Development :: Compilers
About: Minnow is a concurrent programming language with a Ruby-like
syntax. It compiles to an executable and uses a companion library to allow
fully-rebalanced microthreads. Minnow gains a lot of strength from its
actor model, which uses message passing, as opposed to threads and locking,
as its concurrency model. Taking a cue from Erlang, actor creation and
message passing is extremely lightweight (often on the order of a few
nanoseconds). The language has a built-in foreign function interface that
allows developers to leverage existing C-based libraries in a simple
SWIG-like manner. Minnow's object model is based on "melding" features
together to form objects.

structure, tags, diffs, pluggable syntax, permissions/ACL, attachments, RSS
feeds, a photo gallery, edit conflict resolution via 3-way merge,
localization, built-in full-text search, and a reverse index. Since it's

backend supported by the DBIx::Class ORM, and has been successfully tested
with PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MySQL.
Changes: This release adds a Japanese translation. It adds "Split Edit"
for side-by-side view/edit. It supports merge for overlapping edits. It has
switched from Cache::Store::Memory to Cache::FastMmap. It changes search
results by link to link to ROOT/$author instead of author at page level. It
shows the bread crumb path on search results, linking the terminal node. It
lists one link for each page by an author via .users (instead of all
revisions). It fixes broken authors (users) pager links.

[035] - Mount-gtk 1.0.2
by Chris Vine (http://freshmeat.net/users/cvine/)
Fri, Feb 20th 2009 13:39
About: Mount-gtk is a front end for pmount. It provides a means of
mounting devices with pmount through a graphical interface. It is intended
for use whenever automounting facilities are not desired or are not
effective. It is built as a single-instance program: if the user attempts
to start it when another instance of it is already running, the existing
instance will be brought up on the current desktop. It will therefore not
usually be necessary to mark it as displayable on all desktops.
Changes: This release provides a tray icon option for the program and
fixes minor bugs.

Software Development :: Embedded Systems
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: The Open Robot Control Software (OROCOS) framework provides the
tools to build real-time software components in C++, designed for robot and
machine control. The Orocos Real-Time Toolkit provides an infrastructure to
quickly setup applications in a real-time operating system such as RTAI and
Xenomai, although it can be tested on normal Linux systems. It is designed
to appeal to roboticists.
Changes: This release adds event-based data ports, allowing a component to
wake up when data arrives. Components are created with a default activity
for sequential processing of commands and events. The CORBA transport layer
now also supports OMNIORB middleware. The component library has been
updated to support better loading and unloading of components in running
applications. Data reporting has been polished.

parameters. Operation#batch is a new method that allows operations of any
class to be batched. VehiclePartLookup, VehiclePartSearch, and
VehicleSearch operations are now supported. The list of search indices for
ItemSearch operations has been updated. Parameter checking for ItemSearch
operations no longer occurs. The configuration file now supports a new
global parameter, "api", for requesting a different version of the AWS API.

shogun has been split into libshogun and libshogunui, multiple kernel
learning (for classification) is now available via glpk, support has been
added for "dotfeatures" which enable learning of linear classifiers with
mixed datatypes, and shogun now runs on the iphone.
