[001] - Affiliates for All 1.1.3
by Pete Chown (http://freshmeat.net/users/pchown/)
Wed, Feb 25th 2009 21:22
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Office/Business
About: Affiliates For All is an affiliate management system written for
the Magento shopping cart. It will track the amount of money you owe your
affiliates and makes payment simple. Your affiliates will also be able to
register online, change their details, and see sales statistics.
Changes: This is a bugfix release intended to be stable in a variety of
hosting environments. There is also one very minor new feature. If the
Magento integration is unable to communicate with AfA, it will now write a
message into the Magento log saying why. This should make it easier to pin
down problems that occur during installation.

animation interface. It has been optimized to handle huge graphs
automatically generated by applications (e.g. compilers).

interface, improved layout algorithms, support for antialiasing, UTF-8
support, export of graphs to PDF, communication with other applications via

[006] - Back In Time 0.9.10
by Dan (http://freshmeat.net/users/danleweb/)
Wed, Feb 25th 2009 07:01
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: A Swedish translation was added. In KDE4, you can now drop and
drop from the file view of backintime to any file manager. A segfault when
running from cron was fixed.

[031] - Musca 20090226
by aerosuidae (http://freshmeat.net/users/aerosuidae/)
Wed, Feb 25th 2009 19:11
Desktop Environment
Desktop Environment :: Window Managers
Software Development :: User Interfaces
About: Musca is a simple tiling window manager for X, similar to ratpoison
but more friendly to the mouse and using a simpler keyboard navigation.
There are no built in status bars, panels, or window decorations save for
thin window borders to indicate focus. Window navigation can be mouse click
to focus or entirely keyboard driven. Window tiling is manual but simple,
and there are no restrictions on how you divide up the screen. It uses
dwm's dmenu utility for launching apps and running various built in
commands not mapped to hot keys.

Artistic Software
Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
About: Papyrus is a 2D C++ scenegraph (canvas) library that utilizes the
cairo library to perform drawing operations. Similar canvas libraries are
the Gnome Canvas, Diacanvas, and the QT Canvas. Numerous canvas primitives
are available, including arcs, rectangles, polylines, and line markers. An
optional companion library, Papyrusmm, provides a set of Gtkmm widgets
which includes viewports (a canvas display widget similar to
Gtk::DrawingArea) and other UI widgets related to drawing interfaces.
Changes: This release introduces new changes to support more of an
SVG-like structure, including paint and drawable dictionaries respectively
similar in concept to SVG's paint servers and defs section. There are two
new dependencies on glibmm (mainly for UTF strings and regular expression
support) and libxml++, as well as the removal of the dependency on expat.
Limited support for linear gradients in SVGs is also introduced, as is the
new class Paint; a thin encapsulation of cairo's patterns with a signal
emitted when the pattern is changed. Also new are extended unit tests and
devhelp support.

Scientific/Engineering :: Neuroscience
About: Trad4 is a fully concurrent, thread safe, graph based programming
language that scales linearly on multiple cores. It is initially intended
for deployment in the financial industry to model real-time risk. Trad4 is
proposed as a paradigm shift against the Von Neumann model of computer
architecture. It is a new way of arranging programs in memory and a new
style of flow-of-control.
Changes: This model applies trad4 to the problem of ordinary differential
equations, again using numerical methods, similar to heat_equation_1d. As
with all trad4 applications, it will scale with as many threads as your
hardware can muster.
