by QY (http://freshmeat.net/users/qunying/)
Mon, Feb 23rd 2009 04:25
System :: Shells
About: acolor (Ada/ANSI color) is a simple Ada program that makes it easy
to color and format output from shell scripts. It does this by converting
combinations of readable arguments (bold, red, green, underline, etc.) into
an ANSI escape sequence that your terminal emulator or console may
understand. It is Moshe Jacobson's color rewritten in Ada.
Changes: The reimplementation in Ada was finished.

Information Management
Software Development :: Libraries :: Ruby Modules
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions
About: The Amahi Home Server is a Linux Home Server based on Fedora (and
later on Ubuntu). Your machine becomes a "Home Digital Assistant" or HDA
after the installation. Each HDA is a Fedora-based server targeted for home
and home office environments. It provides an iTunes server, calendaring, a
wiki, shared network storage, network backups, a printer server, VPN, and a
plug-in architecture built on Ruby on Rails.
Changes: This interim release for the one-click installer for webapps is
fairly stable and includes major features such as support for RPM-based
apps, combined RPM and webapps, and webapps that need special options in
the Apache configuration. It also includes a bit of support for later
supporting DEB-based apps.

[003] - Backtrace Library 1.2.1
by Wolf Software (http://freshmeat.net/users/offswn/)
Mon, Feb 23rd 2009 12:48
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Backtrace is a C library that replicates the bt functionality from
gdb. This can be used on code as it is developed and on live code, to allow
function stack tracing without having to run under gdb. This library will
display the file name, function name, and line number in the backtrace, and
will work even with a stripped binary.
Changes: This version includes MySQL logging support by using the logdb
library. By default, the logging is done to a file via the logfile library,
but by adding --enable-logdb to the configure options you can use MySQL
instead. The backtrace_logfile function has been renamed to init_backtrace,
where you pass either a logfile name or your database connection details.

Security :: Cryptography
System :: Filesystems
System :: Systems Administration
About: cryptmount is a utility for creating and managing secure filing
systems on GNU/Linux systems. After initial setup, it allows any user to
mount or unmount filesystems on demand, solely by providing the decryption
password, with any system devices needed to access the filing system being
configured automatically. A wide variety of encryption schemes (provided by
the kernel dm-crypt system and the libgcrypt library) can be used to
protect both the filesystem and the access key. The protected filing
systems can reside in either ordinary files or disk partitions. The package
also supports encrypted swap partitions, and automatic configuration on
system boot-up.
Changes: Facilities for managing encrypted filesystems without needing
separate key files were added. Support for creating LUKS encrypted
filesystems compatible with cryptsetup was improved. The security of
built-in key-file encryption was improved with a stronger password-based
key-derivation function (PBKDF). Many areas of the source code were tidied.

Mon, Feb 23rd 2009 21:57
Text Editors
Text Editors :: Emacs
About: GNU Zile (Zile is Lossy Emacs) is a small, fast, and powerful Emacs
clone. It is useful for small footprint installations (e.g. on floppy disk)
or quick editing sessions.
Changes: This release contains a rewrite of the test suite that drives
Zile directly, and no longer uses DejaGnu. Two commands have been added to
make it possible to write all the tests in Lisp, namely execute-kbd-macro
and insert-char. The --script flag is now --load, which is what it really
does. Various commands have been made to work non-interactively.
Duplication has been reduced by generating much of the documentation from
the code. The info manual, which merely duplicated information available
elsewhere, has been removed. Other small fixes and improvements have been
made.

[026] - httpx 0.0.8
by swivel (http://freshmeat.net/users/swivel/)
Mon, Feb 23rd 2009 11:19
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
About: Httpx takes over the front-line position of binding and listening
on the public address and port of your virtual Web hosting server. In this
role, it scans incoming requests looking for the HTTP/1.1 Host: request
header entity. Once the Host: value is found for a given request, it is
routed to a UNIX domain socket in the local file system located through a
cached database lookup. Over this UNIX domain socket, an inter-process
descriptor pass occurs to a Web server modified slightly to receive TCP
socket descriptors passed over a UNIX domain socket instead of binding,
listening for, and accepting TCP sockets. This allows vhosts to share an IP
address while having private, host-specific, potentially unique httpd
contexts.
Changes: Fixes were made to the pre-Linux-2.6.28 broken
SO_RCVLOWAT/MSG_PEEK workaround, which restores enforcement of idle
timeouts and adds correct handling of connections that closed after httpx
had already recv()'d a partial request. The descriptor passing sendmsg()
call was fixed to disable potential delivery of SIGPIPE on errors.

Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules
Text Processing
Text Processing :: Filters
About: LEPL is a recursive descent parser library written in Python. It is
based on parser combinator libraries popular in functional programming, but
also exploits Python language features. Operators provide a friendly
syntax, and the consistent use of generators supports full backtracking and
resource management. Backtracking implies that a wide variety of grammars
are supported, but only LL(k) are guaranteed to terminate.
Changes: This is a major rewrite, but keeps the original syntax for
specifying grammars. New features include unlimited recursion depth through
the use of "trampolining", the ability to rewrite graphs of matchers, and
support for memoisation (improving efficiency and allowing left recursive
grammars).

Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and
operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.
Changes: A new example program (chkhsh.sd7), which checks hash table
operations, was added. A compare function was added for the type 'boolean'.
The driver functions cmdCopy, cmdMove, and cmdRemove were improved to use
wide char (UTF-16) functions under Windows and normal (UTF-8) functions
under UNIX/Linux/BSD. The functions dirOpen, dirRead, and dirClose in the
file dir_rtl.c were improved to use os_opendir, os_readdir, and os_closedir
(defined in dir_rtl.h). The K&R function headers in several files were
corrected. An explanation of several defines was added to the file
'src/read_me.txt'.

System :: Hardware
About: Spindown is a daemon to spin down idle disks and thus save energy
and give the disks a longer lifetime. It also works with USB disks and
hot-swappable disks because it uses the device ID to identify the disk
instead of the device name (such as hda or sdb). This means that it doesn't
matter if the disk is swapped while the daemon is running.
Changes: Spindown no longer uses multiple threads, and the init script now
uses Linux Standard Base functions.

[061] - Stendhal 0.72
by tigertoes (http://freshmeat.net/users/tigertoes/)

Communications :: Chat
Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing
About: Stendhal is a multiplayer online adventure game (MMORPG) developed
using the Arianne game development system. It features a rich and expanding
world in which you can explore towns, buildings, plains, caves, and
dungeons. You will meet NPCs and acquire tasks and quests for valuable
experience and cold hard cash. Your character will develop and grow, and
with each new level up become stronger and better. With the money you
acquire, you can buy new items and improve your armour and weapons. You can
also roam the world in search of evil monsters (and kill them).
Changes: dagobert creates vaults for players, so they can access semos
bank slot without spies. /me shows emotes. The chat log can be saved by
right clicking on gamelog, and is saved in home/stendhal/gamelog.txt. Susi
and her father live in a house in Ados, there is a special outfit lender
Liliana in magic city, and a Deathmatch recruiter walks in the safer
(upper) part of the swamp. Find out which heroes are in the deathmatch
already by asking Thonatus, the recruiter. The /ban reason is no longer
eaten on the client side. The soup making exploit to boost karma is fixed.
Zara re-offers the quest if the player previously rejected it.

[062] - storebackup 3.0-rc2
by Heinz-Josef Claes (http://freshmeat.net/users/hjclaes/)
Mon, Feb 23rd 2009 12:07
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Archiving :: Compression
About: storebackup is a backup utility that stores files on other disks.
It includes several optimizations that reduce the disk space needed and
improve performance, and unifies the advantages of traditional full and
incremental backups. It also can handle big image files with block-wise
changes efficiently. Depending on its contents, every file is stored only
once on disk. It includes tools for analyzing backup data and restoring.
Once archived, files are accessible by mounting filesystems (locally, or
via Samba or NFS). It is easy to install and configure.
Changes: This version is able to store big image files like mbox files and
vmware images efficiently. This pre-release fixes some bugs from rc1 which
can result in not backing up some files in some rare cases. If you use
3.0-rc1, you should install this version.

[063] - Strfunc Library 1.2.0
by Wolf Software (http://freshmeat.net/users/offswn/)
Mon, Feb 23rd 2009 18:44
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Strfunc is a C library that contains a collection of string based
functions.
Changes: This version includes MySQL logging support by using the logdb
library. By default, the logging is done to a file via the logfile library,
but by adding --enable-logdb to the configure options, you can use MySQL
instead. The set_strfunc_logfile function has been renamed to init_strfunc,
where you pass either a logfile name or your database connection details.

[064] - Strfunc Library 1.2.2
by Wolf Software (http://freshmeat.net/users/offswn/)
Mon, Feb 23rd 2009 22:04
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Strfunc is a C library that contains a collection of string based
functions.
Changes: There was small memory leak located in the library after the
recent changes, which has been fixed. The library has been extended to use
libdynablock (as an option at configure time), so you can allow the library
to manage its own memory. A simple regular call to kill_strfunc_dynablock
will free the memory used. If you prefer to have the library calloc memory
and then free it yourself, simply run the library in its default mode.

Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking
About: strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1 implementation for Linux
2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It also fully supports the new IKEv2 protocol with
Linux 2.6 kernels. It interoperates in both IKEv1 and IKEv2 mode with most
other IPsec-based VPN products. The focus of the strongSwan project is on
strong authentication mechanisms using X.509 public key certificates and
optional secure storage of private keys on smartcards through a
standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique feature is the use of X.509
attribute certificates to implement advanced access control schemes based
on group memberships.
Changes: IKEv2 interoperability with the Windows 7 Agile VPN client was
improved by allowing the configuration of up to two DNS and NBNS servers
that are forewarded to the client via the IKEv2 configuration payload. The
IKEv2 EAP-MSCHAP v2 authentication protocol is supported.
