Tue, Dec 7th 2004 08:02
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Libraries
About: 4tH is a Forth compiler with a little difference. Instead of the
standard Forth engine it features a conventional compiler. 4tH is a very
small compiler that can create bytecode, C-embeddable bytecode, standalone
executables, but also works fine as a scripting language. It supports over
85% of the ANS Forth CORE wordset and features conditional compilation,
pipes, files, assertions, forward declarations, recursion, include files,
etc. It comes with an RPN calculator, line editor, compiler, decompiler,
C-source generators, and a virtual machine.
Changes: Support for the ANS-Forth proposed words DEFER@ and DEFER! was
added. Libraries for string padding, circular buffers, and Easter Sunday
calculation were added. The manual was updated and expanded. A TurboC V2
bug and a bug in FILL were fixed.

[007] - Backup Manager 0.5.5
by Alexis SUKRIEH (http://freshmeat.net/users/sukria/)
Tue, Dec 7th 2004 10:10
About: Backup Manager is a small and basic tool for generating archives.
It is designed for those who don't want an obfuscated tool for making
tarballs. It can make tar, tar.gz, tar.bz, and zip archives. It can be run
in a parallel mode with different configuration files. Archives are kept
for a given number of days. Its upload system can use ftp or scp to
transfer the generated archives to a list of remote hosts. The
configuration file is very simple and basic.
Changes: This release is the first to use gettext for
internationalization. English and French languages are now supported. Some
minor new features have also been added, including a blacklist of
directories that won't be archived, an option to say if symlinks will be
dereferenced when generating archives, and a cleaning system for
recursively purging each old archive in the archives repository. Due to a
lot of new options, the command line has been enhanced and the manpage has
been rewritten. Some minor bugfixes have also been done.

[008] - Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript 2004-12-07
by Terry Burton (http://freshmeat.net/users/terryburton/)
Tue, Dec 7th 2004 01:19
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: Support for human readable text on the EAN and UPC formats was
added. Redundant code was removed from the UPC-A format. Minor code
cleanups were made. A mailing list and support group is now available.

Tue, Dec 7th 2004 05:33
Information Management :: Issue Tracking
Software Development :: Bug Tracking
About: Bug-A-Boo is a bug reporting and tracking system that runs on any
Web server that supports CGI. It helps you to keep an eye on bugs reported
to you by users of your software products. It can handle any number of
projects, users, and bug classifications, and is really flexible in their
setup. It features fast fulltext search, query storage, themes, and bug
watches. It uses the tdbengine as a database backend.
Changes: This version combines a lot of improvements and new features. The
"attic" allows you to "delete" bugs by moving them onto it. A restore
option undoes this immediately if necessary. Users can subscribe to
certain projects or some of their components and then get informed via
email every time a new bug is reported. The filter editor, which now can
load previously stored filters for further editing, has been strongly
enhanced. Some smaller bugs were fixed, too.

[015] - Conary 0.11.8
by Michael K. Johnson (http://freshmeat.net/users/johnsonm/)
Tue, Dec 7th 2004 19:47
Software Development :: Version Control
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
System :: Installation/Setup
About: Conary is a distributed software management system for Linux
distributions. It replaces traditional package management solutions (such
as RPM and dpkg) with one designed to enable loose collaboration across
the Internet. It enables sets of distributed and loosely connected
repositories to define the components which are installed on a Linux
system. Rather than having a full distribution come from a single vendor,
it allows administrators and developers to branch a distribution, keeping
the pieces which fit their environment while grabbing components from
other repositories across the Internet.
Changes: On the install side, this version works around a Python bug that
was removing setuid permissions on files. On the build side, it adds the
r.Replace() function, has new policy that enforces that all filenames are
legal UTF-8 strings, and provides a tagdatadir macro for taghandler data.

Software Development
Software Development :: Version Control :: CVS
About: Convulsion is a drop-in CVS repository browser for PHP. It makes
use of the libraries developed for the Chora module of the Horde
project, but does not require that Horde be installed and working. You
can browse directories and files, view a file's revision history,
compare two versions, and retrieve its change log. It also supports
automatic obfuscation of e-mail addresses and syntax highlighting for
most common languages.
Changes: This release introduces support for the GeSHi syntax highlighting
system as an alternative to enscript.

by Michael Fuchs (http://freshmeat.net/users/mfuchs/)
Tue, Dec 7th 2004 16:40
Software Development :: Documentation
Text Processing :: Filters
Text Processing :: Markup :: SGML
About: The DocBook Doclet creates DocBook XML from Java source
documentation or HTML files. It is helpful if you want to create reference
handbooks of your API. Normally it is used with the Javadoc tool but it can
also be used as a standalone application to convert HTML to DocBook.
Additionally it comes with a Swing application to manage documentation
projects and to transform the resulting DocBook files to PDF, Postscript,
HTML, or JavaHelp.
Changes: This version features the generation of an XMI file, which can
be used with Umbrello. There were improvements to the strict DocBook
style flavour. Support for DocBook 4.3 and 4.2 was added. Sorting of
fields and methods was added. There is a new synopsis section for public
static methods. Many minor fixes and improvements were included.

[020] - DualRpcServer 1.1.1
by threadsafe (http://freshmeat.net/users/threadsafe/)
Tue, Dec 7th 2004 10:25
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: DualRpcServer is an easy-to-use Java framework for bi-directional
RPC method calls between a client and server. No RMI stubs or J2EE remote
interfaces are needed. It keeps session state between calls and works
great with Swing and SWT rich clients. Clients can be deployed with Java
Web Start.
Changes: This release updates the Log4J logging and JSch encryption
libraries. Two very useful DualRpcServer starter applications were added.
They contain production-grade code for building your own rich client
applications. Just replace the stub GUI client class with your own Swing
or SWT GUI classes. The client may be deployed with Java Web Start. Web
Start-compatible techniques for managing client side resources
(configuration files, logging, etc) are demonstrated. These examples also
explain how to save a lot of development time by launching the server and
client in the same VM.

[021] - dxf2fig 2.10
by lemmens (http://freshmeat.net/users/lemmens/)
Tue, Dec 7th 2004 09:21
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
About: dxf2fig parses Autocad DXF input, then calls external routines to
do either plotting or a fig conversion for xfig. The conversion is fairly
complete. Layers (depths in xfig), blocks (compounds in xfig), colors, and
linetypes are roughly preserved in the output file.
Changes: Support for recursive (nested) inserts (blocks) was enabled. This
seems to work without memory problems, but is not guaranteed yet. Some
small bugs were fixed, such as free in spline and lwpoyline handling. A
rudimentary filter was started, namely a filter on color(s), layer(s), or
coordinates (clipping).

Tue, Dec 7th 2004 02:01
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Utilities
About: Entagged is a Java audio file tagger which uses the freedb online
database for the retrieval of the tags. It supports custom file renaming
based on the tags (with any directory stucture), as well as custom tagging
based on the file names. MP3, Ogg, and FLAC are currently supported.
Changes: This version added support for tagging WMA files, German langage
support, and freedb connections through proxies, including with
authentication. Manual freedb now shows a dialog if there are fewer files
selected than freedb tracks to choose from. When entering a directory,
the clicked directory is remembered, and when clicking the parent, the
table scrolls to the saved directory. A new command line tool was added
for creating XML reports and converting them to HTML or CSV using XSLT.

Tue, Dec 7th 2004 13:59
Scientific/Engineering
About: Fachwerk3D calculates three-dimensional strut-and-tie models used
by structural engineers for analysing and designing reinforced concrete
structures. The program only uses the equilibrium conditions, thus it is
not assuming elastic behaviour.
Changes: This release improves usability issues. The viewing direction and
zoom remain unchanged when a member is created or when the properties of a
member are changed. A right click on a member or on a node opens its
property dialog. The input data can be exported into a table that can be
opened by any spreadsheet application. A bug in the status line has been
fixed.

documents, where the font on the pictures is exactly the same as the font
in the text. The advantage it has over some other xfig exporters such as
eepic is that you compile the picture only once and not every time you
compile your LaTeX file, giving a great gain in speed with complex
pictures. It should work with LyX.
Changes: This release has no known bugs, and no features missing.

[029] - FreeVMS 0.1.1 (Unstable kernel)
by JKB (http://freshmeat.net/users/jkb/)
Tue, Dec 7th 2004 01:17
System :: Operating System Kernels
About: FreeVMS is an OpenVMS-like operating system which can run on
several architectures like i386, PPC, Alpha, and many others. It consists
of a POSIX kernel and a DCL command line interpreter. The only
architecture currently supported is i386.
Changes: This release added better path support with RMS in CONFIG_VMS. A
basic CDU, CLD, and CLI$ were implemented. A path problem was fixed,
making it possible to run programs such as copy and dir by being in
another default directory. A problem with too-large ODS-2 bitmap
allocation where n * volume cluster size was allocated instead of n bits
in the bitmap was fixed. CLD/CDU has most of the usual verbs with c first.
DFU is now used with CLI$ and must be run from bash.

[030] - g4u 2.0
by hubertf (http://freshmeat.net/users/hubertf/)
Tue, Dec 7th 2004 19:39
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Installation/Setup
System :: Systems Administration
About: g4u ("ghost for unix") is a boot-floppy/CD that allows one to
easily clone PC hard disks by using FTP. This is often done to deploy a
common setup on a number of PCs. The floppy/CD offers two functions: it
uploads the compressed image of a local hard disk to an FTP server, and
then it can retrieve that image via FTP, uncompress it, and write it back
to disk. Network configuration is fetched via DHCP. As the hard disk is
processed as an image, any filesystem and operating system can be deployed
using g4u. Easy cloning of local disks as well as partitions is also
supported.
Changes: There are now two versions, a CDROM version (which can also be
used on DVD), and a two-floppy version. This allows all the drivers that
had to be removed in the past to be added back again: USB keyboards, SATA
drives, hardware RAID controllers, PCMCIA and Cardbus drivers, Wireless
LAN, Fiber Channel for your SAN, Token Ring, and others. Anther important
change is a new "copypart" program to copy local partitions.

Games/Entertainment :: Simulation
Scientific/Engineering
About: JSBSim is a multi-platform flight dynamics model. The FDM is
essentially the physics/math model that defines the movement of an
aircraft under the forces and moments applied to it using the various
control mechanisms and from the forces of nature. JSBSim has no native
graphics. It can be run by itself as a standalone program, taking input
from a script file and various aircraft configuration files, or it can be
run as an integrated part of a larger flight simulator implementation that
includes a visual system. The most notable usage example is the FlightGear
simulator. JSBSim models the aerodynamic forces and moments by the classic
coefficient buildup method.

Office/Business :: Financial
About: jStock is a tool for technical analysis of stocks. It draws
logarithmic charts (candlesticks) based on daily open, high, low, and
close for a stock. Both daily and weekly charts are supported, as is
volume and a few technical indicators. Data files can be fetched from the
Internet and from downloaded files. Notes and user-drawn lines are stored
in an (optional) database. Important design parameters have been to
maximise the area for the candlestick chart and minimise the user
interactions for daily use.
Changes: Most changes are due to an internal redesign. There are also
changes in the keyboard user interface, database schema, and the
Indicators interface classes. User-drawn lines are now supported for
indicators. It's possible to view lines and highlighted candlesticks at
the same time, and if database support is enabled, it is possible to have
an individual set of indicators per ticker.

plugin, so you can now burn your recordings to a Video DVD with some
keypresses on your remote control. The most bizarre one is the Taste
plugin, with which you can define some keywords for shows you absolutely
don't want to see, and the Taste plugin will prevent you from accidentally
switching to them when such a show is on air.

About: mpgedit is an MPEG 1 layer 1/2/3 (MP3), MPEG 2, and MPEG 2.5 audio
file editor that is capable of processing both Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) encoded files. mpgedit can cut an input MPEG file
into one or more output files, as well as join one or more input MPEG
files into a single output file. Since no decoding or encoding occurs
during editing, there is no audio quality loss when editing with mpgedit.

and viewed by anyone, but all functions involving changes require
additional privileges to be granted by the administrator. Recipes are
categorized, and new categories are easy to create. Ingredients are added
to the database on-the-fly as they are used in recipes. Unit types (such
as "cup" or "teaspoon") are also stored in the database, and unit
"plurals" are also handled correctly. A robust search feature that
supports a wide range of criteria, including words found (or not found) in
the instructions, the recipe name, category, and ingredients list is
included.

[062] - Ping Tunnel 0.5
by Daniel Stodle (http://freshmeat.net/users/stoedle/)
Tue, Dec 7th 2004 16:34
Internet :: Proxy Servers
System :: Networking
About: Ping Tunnel is a tool for reliably tunneling TCP connections over
ICMP echo request and reply packets (commonly known as ping requests and
replies). It is useful for evading firewalls that, for whatever reason,
prevent outgoing TCP connections, but allow in- and outgoing ICMP packets.
The tunnel works by having a proxy run on a machine ping-able from the
inside of the firewall, with the client running on the local machine from
which TCP access is required.

[064] - Plash 1.0
by mseaborn (http://freshmeat.net/users/mseaborn/)
Tue, Dec 7th 2004 00:18
Security
About: Plash (the Principle of Least Authority Shell) is a Unix shell that
lets you run Unix programs with access only to the files and directories
they need to run. In order to implement this, the filesystem is
virtualized. Each process can have its own namespace, which can contain a
subset of your files. This is implemented by modifying GNU libc and
replacing the system calls that use filenames. For example, open() is
changed so that it sends a message to a file server via a socket. If the
request is successful, the server sends the client a file descriptor.
Processes are run as the user 'nobody' in a chroot jail. No kernel
modifications are required.

[071] - RRD Poller 1.1.0
by Olivier Poitrey (http://freshmeat.net/users/rs/)
Tue, Dec 7th 2004 09:07
Database :: API
System :: Monitoring
About: RRD poller allows you to poll RRD files and get the current value
of a given data source. Additionally, it implements some advanced checks
which can use past values to decide if the current one is out of threshold
or not. The main purpose of this tool is to form the interface between an
existing monitoring system like BigBrother, Nagios, or Mon and a set of
RRD graphs generated by some specialized data collectors like rrdcollect,
Cricket, and such. Thus, you can build a very modular monitoring/trend
architecture without the need of double polling.
Changes: The ability to specify an RPN expression for each data source was
added.
