After a successful beta test of the new site software on its launchpad at
freshmeat3.net we're going to relaunch the real site this Saturday, March
14th. Please be aware that the site will be inaccessible while we transfer
the database content from the old structure into the new site. We'll post a
more detailed migration plan as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you
have last minute wishes or feedback, please don't hesitate to register for
a beta account at freshmeat3.net/beta_signups/new. We highly value your
voice. Thank you for your continued support.

[017] - dtangler 2.0.0
by dtangler-team (http://freshmeat.net/users/dtangler/)
Tue, Mar 10th 2009 13:57
About: Dtangler is a dependency management tool that shows dependencies as
a Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM). The user can create a set of rules
that describe the dependencies that are allowed or disallowed. Software
projects can integrate dtangler to their continuous integration build
system in order to prevent the dependency structure from degrading over
time. Dtangler can parse dependencies directly from Java class folders, jar
files, and from files in a plain text format that is easy to write or
generate programmatically. dtangler can manage the dependencies of any set
of artifacts.
Changes: The major new feature in dtangler 2.0.0 is the ability to read
dependency information from a plain text file. In other words, it's not
just for Java; now you can generate a dependency structure matrix that
describes any artifacts.

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; appropriate memoisation ensures that even left-recursive
grammars terminate.
Changes: This release improves performance. Typical parsers are now twice
as fast (improved constant factor) while left recursive grammars are
rearranged to avoid unnecessary deep recursion (improved "big-O"
performance, with one test case improved by a factor of 40).

which presents each question one at a time, or by a quick and nasty data
entry screen. It includes the capacity to generate individualized "tokens",
so that invitations can be issued to participants. It also has the capacity
to set conditions on whether questions will display (branching), numerous
question types, and a basic statistics function.
Changes: New question types, public statistics, and a SOAP interface were
added. The conditions editor was redesigned. The templates were redesigned
for accessibility. Results can be exported to R. New icons and lots of new
features were added.

[032] - pHash 0.4
by b1ng0 (http://freshmeat.net/users/b1ng0/)
Tue, Mar 10th 2009 09:29
Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Multimedia :: Video
About: pHash is an implementation of various perceptual hashing
algorithms. A perceptual hash is a fingerprint of an audio, video, or image
file that is mathematically based on the audio or visual content contained
within. Unlike cryptographic hash functions that rely on the avalanche
effect of small changes in input leading to drastic changes in the output,
perceptual hashes are "close" to one another if the inputs are visually or
auditorily similar. As a result, perceptual hashes must also be robust
enough to take into account transformations that could have been performed
on the input.
Changes: Support for perceptual audio hashes and a fix for a bug when
using monochrome images.

[033] - SimCList 1.4.2
by Mij (http://freshmeat.net/users/mijio/)
Tue, Mar 10th 2009 09:33
Software Development :: Libraries
About: SimCList is a high quality C library (that is C++ embeddable) for
handling lists. It exploits several advanced techniques for improving
performance, including freelists, sentinels, automatic sort algorithm
selection, sort randomization, mid pointer, and optional multithreading.
The API is simple but powerful, makes elegant and consistent use of
information hiding, abstracts the actual data type to store, and is fairly
complete. The library itself makes a good compromise between performance in
terms of time and space, and is well documented.
Changes: It is now possible to disable compilation of dump/restore
features to save memory on ultra-constrained devices. Return values of
list_dump_file() and list_restore_file() were made consistent.

[036] - Steel Bank Common Lisp 1.0.26
by Skypher (http://freshmeat.net/users/skypher/)
Tue, Mar 10th 2009 09:54
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Debuggers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Steel Bank Common Lisp is a development environment for Common
Lisp, with excellent support for the ANSI standard: garbage collection,
lexical closures, powerful macros, strong dynamic typing, incremental
compilation, and the famous Common Lisp Object System (multimethods and
all). It also includes many extensions, such as native threads, socket
support, a statistical profiler, programmable streams, and more. These are
all available through an integrated, interactive native compiler which
feels like an interpreter. SBCL is unique in being a multiplatform native
compiler which bootstraps itself completely from source, using a C compiler
and any other ANSI Common Lisp implementation.
Changes: Bugfixes, enhancements, and optimizations. Some incompatible
changes were introduced in this release.

[039] - Tin Hat 20090309
by Anthony G. Basile (http://freshmeat.net/users/blueness/)
Tue, Mar 10th 2009 14:46
Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Security
Security :: Cryptography
About: Tin Hat is a Linux distribution derived from hardened Gentoo. It
aims to provide a very secure, stable, and fast desktop environment that
lives purely in RAM. Tin Hat boots from CD, or optionally USB pen drive,
but it is not a LiveCD in that it does not mount any file system from the
boot device. Rather, Tin Hat employs a massive squashfs image which expands
into tmpfs upon booting. This makes for long boot times, but remarkable
speeds during human-computer interaction.
Changes: This is primarily a maintenance release that addresses
approximately 90 updates and synchronizes with the upstream hardened
Gentoo. Some minor bugfixes to the desktop were made.

[041] - uBeeDisk 1.1.0
by Stewart Kay (http://freshmeat.net/users/calip45/)
Tue, Mar 10th 2009 09:54
System :: Emulators
About: uBeeDisk is a tool that copies disks and images from one to
another. It was developed to archive Microbee disk images from floppy disks
and to write them back to floppy, but other disk formats can be added. It
is intended mainly for users of computer emulators. As the program makes
use of the 'LibDsk' library there are many options for image types. The
program provides some data recovery methods along with 'info' files for
each disk image file created. An 'info' file contains information about the
disk image, a status map of all sectors read from the disk, and an MD5
stamp of the associated disk image.
Changes: A --log option was added for setting the level used for logging
read errors, with the errors appended to the info file. Transient errors
are now processed just like any other disk errors. The error count now also
increments when one of these errors occurs. A problem where the sector map
was updated but the error count was not being incremented on a transient
read error was fixed.

[042] - VideoCache 1.9.1
by Kulbir Saini (http://freshmeat.net/users/kulbirsaini/)
Tue, Mar 10th 2009 09:53
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Multimedia :: Video
About: VideoCache is a squid URL rewriter plugin written in Python that
traps the requests to Squid for various audio/video Web sites and caches
the audio/video in the local storage on a proxy server for serving
subsequent requests for the same audio/video. It caches the audio/video
independently of Squid's caching system. The cached files are stored in a
browsable fashion.
Changes: Disk size calculation will no longer hang the plugin and does not
take place before every download. The calculated size of the cache
directories is cached for next 50 downloads. The caching mechanism is not
based on time because cache size will not increase unless there is a
download. The cached directory size stays with the XMLRPC server.
Calculations are performed in a forked daemon so that the normal plugin
behavior is not affected. The calculator function is now more generic.

Office/Business
About: WebGUI is a content management framework built to allow average
business users to build and maintain complex Web sites. It is modular,
pluggable, and platform independent. It was designed to allow the people

FAQs, link lists, blogs, SQL reports, a Web services interface, and a very
configurable user privilege and profiling system.
Changes: This release fixes an issue with the Gallery Web service, an
issue with Matrix, and some other minor issues.

[046] - XOM 1.2.1
by Elliotte Rusty Harold (http://freshmeat.net/users/elharo/)
Tue, Mar 10th 2009 15:49
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
Text Processing :: Markup :: XSL/XSLT
About: XOM is an XML object model. It is a tree-based API for processing
XML with Java that simultaneously supports streaming. In many use-cases, it
can process arbitrarily large documents with effectively constant memory
sizes. It strives for correctness, simplicity, and performance, in that
order. XOM supports XSLT, Canonical XML, and XInclude.
Changes: The latest Unicode normalization tables are used. A lookup method
was added in XPathContext, which finds the namespace URI for a prefix.
xml:id attributes are no longer checked for NCNames. Xerces was upgraded to
2.8.0, DTD-only version. DOMConverter can accept a NodeFactory to be used
in creating the XOM document. Various bugs were fixed, especially in
canonicalization and XPath, and one that could cause toXML to generate
malformed output when a namespace URI contained an ampersand. The version
number is correctly reported by java -jar.
