  Sat, Mar 7th 2009 10:39

Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
Security

About: adsuck is a small DNS server that spoofs blacklisted addresses and
forwards all other queries. The idea is to be able to prevent connections
to undesirable sites such as ad servers, crawlers, etc. It can be used
locally, for the road warrior, or on the network perimeter in order to
protect local machines from malicious sites.

Changes: Linux support and support for using SIGUSR1 to reload hosts
files.

Database

About: AgileWiki is a composable platform for advanced Web-based and P2P
networks. It allows multiple points of entry, where each node is an
information fusion system with controlled access, pluggable applications,
and native deductive reasoning.

Changes: A .zip.gz file is now used for data migration in place of a
directory tree. The load command has been discontinued and dump now only
dumps the entire database to a .zip.gz file. Dump and auto-load are now
stream based for enhanced scalability.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
System :: Benchmark

About: BaukBench is a HTTP/1.1 benchmark/stress test tool for measuring
performance of Web servers. The advantage of BaukBench compared to other
HTTP benchmark tools is that it does not have limitations which produce
performance bottlenecks on the client side that make it impossible to
measure the server's maximum performance. BaukBench includes support for
benchmarking static or dynamic content, an unlimited number of simultaneous
HTTP connections, low CPU and memory requirements, detailed statistical
data, and many other features.

Changes: This release includes enhancements for 64-bit architectures,
improvements for benchmarking dynamic content, more detailed benchmark
statistical information, and additions to the documentation.

  Sat, Mar 7th 2009 01:12

Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML

About: Easyconfig generates a set of PHP configuration classes from a
supplied XML file. You can then access your configuration values very
quickly without having to parse the XML file on every request. The element
(tag) names become property names and the text contained in the elements
becomes the property's value. It also supports nested elements. If the
generated PHP file is older than the XML file, it is re-generated using the
data in the newer XML file. This class also supports array types using the
element inside an element whose type attribute is set to "array".

  by Aleksey Cheusov (http://freshmeat.net/users/vle/)
  Sat, Mar 7th 2009 20:54

Software Development :: Debuggers

About: LMDBG is a collection of small tools for collecting and analyzing
the logs of malloc/realloc/memalign/free function calls. Unlike many
others, LMDBG does not provide any way to detect overruns of the boundaries
of malloc() memory allocations, as this is not the goal. Like most other
malloc debuggers, LMDBG allows detecting memory leaks and double frees.
However, unlike others, LMDBG generates full stacktraces and separates the
logging process from analysis, thus allowing you to analyze an application
on a per-module basis.

Changes: GPL phantoms were completely removed. Minor fixes were made in
the Makefile. Minor clean-ups were made in stacktrace.c.

Software Development :: Libraries

About: The OMPTL reimplements the algorithmic and numeric parts of the
Standard Template Library of C++ to take advantage of parallel computing
hardware such as Dual-Core and HyperThreading processors. The
parallelization is done with the OpenMP API. The range of data is
partitioned, and then the computation is executed in parallel. 

Changes: A minor bugfix in sort().

Scientific/Engineering
Software Development
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks

About: paexec distributes performing the given tasks (stdin) across
several CPUs or machines in a network.

Changes: The algorithm for cycle detection (paexec -s) was completely
reworked and now does't allocate tasks_count^2 integers. Now it works much
faster. The -Z _timeout_ option was added. An attempt to rerun a command on
a failed node is made every _timeout_ seconds. This option makes it
possible to organize clusters over unreliable networks, hardware or
software.

[040] - transmorph 2.1.0 
  by Cédric Chabanois (http://freshmeat.net/users/cchabanois/)
  Sat, Mar 7th 2009 00:25

Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: Transmorph is a Java library used to convert a Java object of one
type into an object of another type (with another signature, possibly
parameterized). It supports conversion for primitives and objects,
conversion to multidimensional arrays, conversion to parameterized
collections and types, and jars for JDK 1.4 and JDK 1.5. It has no
dependencies. It is easy to add more converters. It can convert to a type
given either its Java type (class) or signature.

Changes: It is now possible to use any class implementing
ITypeSignatureParser to parse the type signature. There are three parsers
available for now: ClassFileTypeSignatureParser for parsing type signatures
using the Java class file signature specification,
ClassGetNameTypeSignatureParser for parsing type signatures returned by
Class.getName(), and JavaSyntaxTypeSignatureParser for parsing type
signatures as in Java source code. This parser also supports imports.

Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
Games/Entertainment :: First Person Shooters

About: Vendetta Online is a multi-platform 3D space-combat MMO for
Windows, Mac, Linux/32 and Linux/64. The game permits players to interact
in a vast online galaxy; fighting, trading, and mining their way to
success. A "twitch" type real-time combat model makes true player skill the
deciding factor instead of character advancement. Massive capital-ship
battles shake the foundations of the major nations at war, while others
struggle to push back the encroachment of the AI "Hives". A no-strings free
trial is available.

Changes: This version adds six new player-created "PCC" missions, created
by members of the Player Contribution Corps. In addition, LuaJIT is used
experimentally and related performance enhancements are being tested in the
Border Skirmish sector.

Communications :: Usenet News

About: YAJNGI (Yet Another Java NewsGroup Inspector) is a client-side

to read constantly. You will be alerted only when the configuration finds

keyword, a regexp, or any phrases that you choose. It is multi-threaded and
permits a different scan interval and actions for each group. It could be
used to monitor newsgroups for your name, product, your favorite arguments,
for downloading your favorite newest pictures or binary files, or any other
topic of interest.

Changes: This release fixed some bugs and added support for servers that
require a username and password and the ability to download and save
attachments, specialized for newsgroups for pictures like alt.binaries.*.
