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: Zip files can have only 64K entries, so data migration now uses a
sequence of text files instead, each text file preceded by a vertical tab.

Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Software Development :: Libraries

About: The ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project is
an ongoing research effort focusing on applying empirical techniques in
order to provide portable performance. It provides C and Fortran77
interfaces to a portably efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few
routines from LAPACK.  

Changes: Bugs were fixed in Xtsyrk's ATL_tsyrkdecomp_K, EnforceNonPwr2LO,
and lanbtst. atlas_install was changed to have a final library build phase.
Missing lapack arch defs were added for Corei764 and MIPSICE9. tgemm's
combine routine was rewritten to work on arbitrary partitionings combined
in arbitrary orders. A restricted fix for SYRK was made. A makefile problem
that caused ATLAS to re-archive the L3BLAS for every tester compile was
fixed. On Windows, -lkernel32 was added to the LIBS macro to enable shared
library building.

[008] - Back In Time 0.9.16 
  by Dan (http://freshmeat.net/users/danleweb/)
  Fri, Mar 13th 2009 19:16

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: This release updates the translations, doesn't show the snapshot
that is being taken in the snapshots list, shows a messagebox when the GUI
application starts and the snapshots directory doesn't exist, gives more
information for "take snapshot" progress (to prove it is not blocked),
renames the "Timeline" column to "Snapshots" in the main window, and
reworks the main window for KDE4. When it tries to take a snapshot and the
snapshots directory doesn't exists (e.g., it is on a removable drive that
is not plugged in), it will notify the user and wait up to 30 seconds.

[025] - Gecode 3.0.0 
  by Guido Tack (http://freshmeat.net/users/odiug/)
  Fri, Mar 13th 2009 06:52

Software Development :: Libraries

About: Gecode is a portable, accessible, and efficient environment for
developing constraint-based systems and applications. Gecode is radically
open for programming, meaning that it can be easily interfaced to other
systems. It supports the programming of new propagators (as implementation
of constraints), branching strategies, and search engines. New variable
domains can be programmed at the same level of efficiency as finite domain
and integer set variables that come predefined with Gecode. 

Changes: The interface was cleaned up to use consistent parameter passing,
consistent naming, a simpler Gist interface, and namespaces for operator
overloading. Functionality was extended so that propagators can be
non-monotonic, and branchings support tie-breaking and random variable and
value selection. Some features with insufficient quality have been removed:
complete set variables and reflection. Usage was simplified by using
auto-linking on Windows and more commonly used filename extensions.

[027] - gentoo 0.15.2 
  by Emil Brink (http://freshmeat.net/users/emilbrink/)
  Fri, Mar 13th 2009 22:10

Desktop Environment :: File Managers

About: gentoo is a file manager written in C. It uses the GTK+ toolkit,
and the two-pane concept, somewhat inspired by DOpus. gentoo strives to be
very configurable, and also to let you do all configuration from a GUI
within the program itself. Using advanced file typing and styling systems,
gentoo determines how to display files in its listings, and also how to act
on them. The package includes a set of over 120 unique handcrafted icons,
for many different types of files. 

Changes: The file type identification using the external 'file' program
has been completely rewritten. It should now be both safer and faster, and
handle errors better.

Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization

About: SciDAVis is an interactive application aimed at data analysis and
publication-quality plotting. It combines a shallow learning curve and an
intuitive, easy-to-use graphical user interface with powerful features such
as scriptability and extensibility. It is similar in its field of
application to proprietary Windows applications like Origin and SigmaPlot,
as well as free applications like QtiPlot, Labplot, and Gnuplot.  What sets
SciDAVis apart from the above is its emphasis on providing a friendly and
open environment (in the software as well as the project) for new and
experienced users alike, and particularly in providing good documentation
on all levels.

Changes: Most importantly, this release fixes saving of projects
containing function/fit curves. Crashes that occurred when activating
Python support on Windows (sometimes on Linux) have been fixed. The Spanish
translation was updated. Several regressions introduced by the table and
matrix rewrites in version 0.2.0 have been fixed. An option was added for
ASCII import of numeric data (conversion had to be done by hand in 0.2.0),
while still allowing the importing of non-numeric data (which was not
possible with 0.1.x).

About: ShortPHP was designed to be the shortest, smallest, quickest Web

(Model-View-Controller) paradigm, but since it has no database-related code
(it is completely file-based) it's more of a VC (View-Controller) system.
It's up to the developer to use whatever tools are deemed fit. ShortPHP is
fully E_STRICT compliant.

[062] - trading-shim 090313 
  by Bill Pippin (http://freshmeat.net/users/wepippin/)
  Fri, Mar 13th 2009 21:43

Database :: API
Office/Business :: Financial :: Investment

About: The trading shim is a command line interpreter with a DBMS backend
to the socket-based 'binary format' API of the Interactive Brokers' Trader
Workstation. It uses mnemonic ASCII text commands to permit downstream
clients to easily access several worldwide securities markets and exchanges
(stocks, options, futures, bonds, and Forex) for "tick" data and history
(intraday and EoD). It also allows clients to initiate and supervise trades
of securities, manage accounts, and more.

Changes: The command language has been extended to accept contract value
expressions for stocks and futures in commands for subscriptions for price
data, both market data and market depth, and queries for history data.
E.g., the expression STK:SMART:AMAT:USD refers to the symbol NYSE:AMAT,
though routed via SMART, and FUT:ECBOT:YM:USD:20090320 to the dow mini
expiring next week, and routed to ECBOT. These new value forms are in
addition to the older index forms that required the user to look up symbol
indices (ibc:266093@SMART or ibc:49652404@ECBOT) in the database ahead of
time.

[064] - Valgrind 3.4.1 
  by sigra (http://freshmeat.net/users/sigra/)
  Fri, Mar 13th 2009 17:38

Software Development :: Testing

About: Valgrind is a tool that helps you find memory management problems
in programs. When a program is run under Valgrind's supervision, all reads
and writes of memory are checked, and calls to malloc/new/free/delete are
intercepted. As a result, Valgrind can detect problems such as use of
uninitialized memory, reading/writing of memory after it has been freed,
reading/writing off the end of malloced blocks, reading/writing
inappropriate areas on the stack, memory leaks in which pointers to
malloced blocks are lost forever, passing of uninitialized and/or
unaddressable memory to system calls, and mismatched use of malloc/new/new
[] vs. free/delete/delete []. 

Changes: This release fixes some regressions and assertion failures in
debug info reading in 3.4.0, most notably incorrect stack traces on
amd64-linux on older (glibc-2.3 based) systems. Various other debug info
problems are also fixed. A number of bugs in the exp-ptrcheck tool
introduced in 3.4.0 have been fixed. In view of the fact that 3.4.0
contains user-visible regressions relative to 3.3.x, upgrading to 3.4.1 is
recommended. Packagers are encouraged to ship 3.4.1 in preference to 3.4.0.
