[002] - Automatic Drawing Generation 0.4.1
by Nicola Fontana (http://freshmeat.net/users/entidi/)
Thu, Mar 12th 2009 20:37
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers
Printing
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
About: Automatic Drawing Generation is GObject-based library that provides
a non-interactive Cairo canvas specifically designed for generating
technical drawings.
Changes: The CPML library has been boosted with additional APIs to browse
segments/primitives and to compute intersections between different
constructs. Now it has its own demo program (cpml-demo) showing some of the
implemented features. Although some functions are still stubs, the overall
infrastructure is likely to be definitive. All the CPML APIs are now
properly documented. The ldim demo has been merged into the more complex
adg-demo. Now the demo programs use the GtkBuilder feature, so the Gtk+
dependency has been raised to 2.12.

Software Development
About: BitRock InstallBuilder allows you to create easy-to-use
multiplatform installers for Linux (x86/PPC/s390/x86_64/Itanium), Windows,
Mac OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris (x86/Sparc), IRIX, AIX, and HP-UX
applications. The generated application installers have a native
look-and-feel and no external dependencies, and can be run in GUI, text,
and unattended modes. In addition to self-contained installers, the
installation tool is also able to generate standalone RPM packages.
Changes: The GUI builder was improved. Installers are generated with
autoupdate capabilities. Right-to-left languages are supported. Quickbuild
now allows you to repackage only new or changed files. A shutdown action
was added to reboot the machine on Windows. The ability to change the
version information of generated Windows installers was added. External
included files will now be serialized to separate files on disk when using
the GUI. Several fixes were made. New rules, actions, and properties were
added.

[004] - Blitz templates for PHP 0.6.8
by Alexey Rybak (http://freshmeat.net/users/alexeyrybak/)
Thu, Mar 12th 2009 17:37
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: Blitz templates is a fast PHP template engine written in C and
compiled as a PHP extension. It started as a php_templates replacement, but
developed into much more. It is based on extensible template controllers
(custom view classes in PHP) and weakly-active templates (simple logic in
HTML). Benchmarks show that it is one of the fastest template engines for
PHP, even though it's not trivial and makes Web application closer to a
smart MVC-like architecture model with maximal separation of HTML from your
code. It was designed for big high-load Internet projects with a lot of
complex presentation logic.
Changes: A new ini variable "blitz.check_recursion" was added. Use this
setting to disable internal recursion check for recursive includes (for
example, when building a hierarchical comment tree using a template that
includes itself). A segfault in nested includes with user-defined functions
was fixed (in some cases, there could be a double free of method result at
shutdown stage).

choose whether the date should be interpreted according to US or European
conventions (MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY). The validity of the date format is
automatically detected. If it is not valid, the upload is canceled.
Categorization is now prevented from being null. A link was added to check
if a new version has been released. Keyword creation is prevented if no
categories are defined yet. All imported transactions are listed right
after the import.

[011] - Gnuspeech 0.5
by David Hill (http://freshmeat.net/users/gnuspeech/)
Thu, Mar 12th 2009 15:03
About: Gnuspeech is an extensible text-to-speech package, based on
real-time, articulatory, speech-synthesis-by-rules. It converts text
strings into phonetic descriptions, aided by a pronouncing dictionary,
letter-to-sound rules, and rhythm and intonation models. It then transforms
the phonetic descriptions into parameters for a low-level articulatory
synthesiser. It uses these to drive an articulatory model of the human
vocal tract, producing output suitable for sound output devices. The system
currently deals with spoken English.
Changes: This is the initial port to Mac OS X 10.4.x and later, as well as
GNU/Linux with GnuStep.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
About: ModSecurity is an intrusion detection and prevention engine for Web
applications (sometimes called a Web application firewall). Operating
embedded or as part of an Apache reverse proxy, it increases Web
application security, protecting Web applications from known and unknown
attacks. It is flexible and easy to configure. It monitors HTTP traffic
(including POST payloads), detects or prevents attacks, enhances logging,
performs anti-evasion, and allows administrators to create custom rules to
suit their specific needs. It excels in HTTP traffic monitoring and
just-in-time vulnerability patching.
Changes: This release fixes a potential DoS vulnerability discovered by
"Internet Security Auditors" when parsing multipart requests. Additionally,
the build process was cleaned up and a few features were added, including
atomic updates of persistent counters and macro expansion of the

Thu, Mar 12th 2009 15:30
About: PackManUtil is a command line application for simplifying the build

use with an x86_64, multi-lib Cross Linux from Scratch (CLFS) system. Since
then, it has been extended to be used on ix86 CLFS systems. PackManUtil
consists of several system-wide scripts to handle the brunt of the work. A
separate build script is created for each package. PackManUtil comes with a
system-wide configuration file, but variables can be overridden on a
package-specific basis in the build script. PackManUtil has also been
tested on Slamd64-12.1 and Slackware-12.1; however, these distributions are
not officially supported.
Changes: New build scripts were added. An md5sum checking function was
added for source tarballs.

application specific settings. appexceptions.php was created for
application specific exceptions. The abstract class SPPEntity was added in

the weight of its contents. It includes a 3D (perspective and anaglyphic)
graphic modeling tool that greatly helps users in understanding the tank
being modeled as well as configuring sensor placement.

in the Compiz compatibility mode. New --persist and --reverse command line
options were added. The wmjump window is now auto-destroyed when focus is
lost unless if wmjump is started with the --persist command line option.
The --reverse option gives the list of windows in the opposite order.

loggers, as well as connectivity with a terminal server or serial server
via TCP sockets.
Changes: The ConfigForms directory has been moved out of $distro/examples
to $distro/wviewmgmt, and automake logic added so it is aware of the

required). NOAA data has been moved from the ASCII file noaa.dat to an
SQLite3 database, wview-noaa.sdb. NOAA generation has been modified to use
the new API. Email alert notifications have been added. Configuration
support has been added to wviewmgmt, and new config parameters added to the
