About: arpalert uses ARP address monitoring to help prevent unauthorized
connections on the local network. If an illegal connection is detected, a
program or script is launched, which could be used to send an alert
message, for example.
Changes: The segmentation faults have cleaned up. The library pcap does
not like to run in simultaneous threads, and now runs in simultaneous
processes. The kill -HUP interception function had a child-killing problem
(interference with the ALARM signal).

Information Management
Multimedia :: Graphics
Office/Business :: Financial :: Point-Of-Sale
About: Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript implements the printing of many
barcode formats entirely within level 2 PostScript. This means that the
process of converting the input string into the printed output is
performed by the printer itself, avoiding the need to re-implement the
barcode generation process whenever your language needs change. The
project supports most major barcode formats including EAN-13, EAN-8,
UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 128-B, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 2 of 5, and
Codabar.
Changes: This version changes the renderer to accept a dictionary of
arguments rather than an sbs string, so that it can have optional
arguments such as text and bar heights passed to it. The encoders were
upgraded accordingly.

Text Processing :: Filters
About: DSPAM is a server-side statistical anti-spam agent for Unix email
servers. It masquerades as the email server's local delivery agent and
effectively filters spam using a combination of de-obfuscation techniques,
specialized algorithms, and statistical analysis. The result is an
administratively maintenance-free, self-learning anti-spam tool. DSPAM has
yielded real-world success rates beyond 99.9% accuracy with less than a
0.01% chance of false positives.
Changes: Client/Server mode has been added, allowing DSPAM to be run as a
stateful process (with stateful connections to the database). LMTP support
has been added, allowing for communication with the daemon either by the
DSPAM client or an LMTP-capable third-party tool. A thin-client (dspamc)
has been added to the build creating a client without libdspam linked in.
TUM training has been enhanced to use fewer resources than TEFT-mode
training. Performance enhancements have been made to the PostgreSQL
storage driver. Much code has been normalized.

Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: The Midgard Components Framework (also called MidCOM) is an
advanced component architecture which extends the Midgard Web content
management framework. It provides mechanisms for building a Web site using
components without much need for writing code to glue all this together.
The administration site gets built automatically by using those
components. Goodies like a caching engine and subrequests make site
building even easier.
Changes: This release now includes a MidCOM-template, converted to
Filesystem-MidCOM. Several minor upgrades have been made to the new
toolbar system and there were a couple of small bugfixes to the system.
This version should now be mostly stable for production usage.

[036] - OneFinger 3.0
by Maurizio Colucci (http://freshmeat.net/users/seguso/)
Fri, Dec 3rd 2004 15:28
Desktop Environment :: File Managers
Desktop Environment :: K Desktop Environment (KDE)
Desktop Environment :: Tools
About: OneFinger is a general-purpose GUI for composing CLI commands with
the mouse. Although entirely graphical, it does not attempt to hide the
underlying CLI language. It increases your productivity over classical
hand-typing by caching commands typed into terminals, which tend to be
highly repetitive. Repeated commands can be selected from a list,
ordered by last usage time. It includes an integrated file browser that
helps you insert filenames without typing them. and allows you to see
only those programs that make sense with a given file.
Changes: This release is a completely new program: it does not require the
knowledge of the bash language any more, which makes it more similar to a
traditional file manager (but with the benefits of the history panel and
the program panel). There are also other major features and bugfixes.
Please delete the ~/.one-finger directory before running.

Fri, Dec 3rd 2004 08:17
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: Turbo Vision is a C++ library that provides a very nice user
interface for console applications. This UNIX port is based on Borland's
version 2.0 with fixes. It was made to create RHIDE, a nice IDE for gcc
and other GNU compilers. The library supports /dev/vcsa devices for fast
access to local consoles, and it uses ncurses to run from telnet and
xterm. This port, in contrast to the Sigala's port, doesn't have "100%
compatibility with the original library" as goal. Instead, many
modifications were made for the sake of security (especially buffer
overflows). This port is also available for the original platform (DOS).
Changes: This release adds better support for BSD systems (tested on
Darwin, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD) and for other Unixes, such as
Solaris 9. It fixes details on DOS, Win32, Linux, XTerm, and Linux
drivers. It adds support for new versions of gcc (tested with gcc up to
3.4.3).

Fri, Dec 3rd 2004 08:07
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Software Development
About: This Tiny Vector and Matrix template library uses Meta Templates
and Expression Templates (ET) to evaluate results at compile time, thus
making it fast for low-end systems. Temporaries are avoided because of
this. The produced code is similar to hand-coded code, but the quality of
the code still depends on the compiler and its version. The dimensions for
vectors and matrices are static and bounded at compile time using template
arguments.
Changes: This release of tvmet compiles with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003. Several critical bugs have been fixed. The documentation is enhanced
and corrected, and there is a new chapter for VC++ 7.1. The conj for signed
types has been disabled, since a unary minus operator applied to an
unsigned type will result in an unsigned type. The functions drem, hypot,
jn, yn, cbrt, and rint are inside the global namespace now. This release
has some fixes for Makefile and creating PDF documentation. The header
dependencies have been limited.
