System
System :: Operating System
System :: Systems Administration
About: Arch Linux is an i686-optimized Linux distribution. It is
lightweight and contains the latest stable versions of software. Packages
are in .tar.gz format and are tracked by a package manager that is
designed to allow easy package upgrades. Arch is quite streamlined
compared to some other distributions. Things that are relatively unused
are not kept (info pages, for example). A default Arch install leaves you
with a solid base; from there, you can add packages to create the custom
installation you're looking for. Arch has a package build system that
allows you to easily create your own packages, which makes it very easy to
rebuild a package with your own custom configuration. Arch also aims to use
the newer features available to Linux users, such as reiserfs/ext3 and
devfs.

About: Bastille Linux aims to be the most comprehensive, flexible, and
educational Security Hardening Program for Red Hat (Fedora Core,
Enterprise Linux, and original Red Hat), SuSE, Gentoo, Mandrake, and
Debian Linux, as well as HP-UX and Mac OS X. Virtually every task it
performs is optional, providing immense flexibility. It educates the
installing admin regarding the topic at hand before asking any question.
The interactive nature allows the program to be more thorough when
securing, while the educational component produces an admin who is less
likely to compromise the increased security.
Changes: This version adds support for Fedora Core 3.

Desktop Environment :: Theme :: Web
Information Management :: Workflow Frameworks
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
About: Bonita is a flexible cooperative workflow system based on the
workflow model proposed by the ECOO Team, which incorporates the
anticipation of activities as a more flexible mechanism of workflow
execution. This flexibility allows a considerable speed increase in the

conception and definition, the instantiation and control of this process,
and the interaction with the users and other applications.
Changes: This version is released for JOnAS-4.2.3. New features include
externalization of user management (LDAP, database); hot deployment of
Hooks, mappers, and performers; relatives deadlines; a JMX service for
workflow monitoring; workflow history (XML based); and OnDeadLine and
OnReady hooks types. The installation and configuration process was
simplified. The documentation was improved. A lot of bugs were fixed.
Many, many other things were changed.

Software Development :: Code Generators
About: CodeWorker is a versatile parsing tool and a universal source code
generator. It interprets a scripting language for producing reusable,
tailor-made, evolving, and reliable IT systems with a high level of
automation. The file formats to parse are described in an extended-BNF
syntax. Template-based scripts drive the writing of patterns for
generating code or text. The code generation knows how to preserve
protected areas with hand-typed code and provides code expansion,
source-to-source translation, and program transformation. It provides a
native translation of CodeWorker's scripts in C++.
Changes: Some bugs were fixed in the BNF-parser interpreter and in the
native C++ translation of CW's scripts. It is now possible to ignore
Ada-like comments in a BNF grammar. A new function was added for inserting
a new element at a given position of a nodes list.

Mon, Jan 24th 2005 08:00
Desktop Environment
Desktop Environment :: Application Themes
Desktop Environment :: Application Themes :: Shells
About: cw is a non-intrusive real-time ANSI color wrapper for common
Unix-based commands. It is designed to simulate the environment of the
commands being executed, so that if a person types 'du', 'df', 'ping',
etc. in their shell it will automatically color the output in real-time
according to a definition file containing the color format desired. It
has support for wildcard match coloring, tokenized coloring,
headers/footers, case scenario coloring, command-line- dependent
definition coloring, and includes over 50 pre- made definition files.
Changes: Checks were added for the "CW_HEADER" and "CW_FOOTER" environment
variables, to set a header or footer if there is not one specified in the
definition file. The "remap" definition instruction and the "CW_REMAP"
environment variable check were added to remap colors to special ANSI
(code) colors or other internal colors. The "clear" definition instruction
and the "CW_CLEAR" environmental variable check were added, to clear the
screen before the program starts. The "nocolor" definition instruction was
added, to disable all coloring via a definition file. Pre-made headers and
footers were added. Several bugs were fixed.

by Michael K. Johnson (http://freshmeat.net/users/johnsonm/)
Mon, Jan 24th 2005 14:49
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: This release properly takes flavor into account when resolving
dependencies; it used to be possible to get very misleading error
messages. On the build side, the Use/Flags code was rewritten and tied
more closely to flavors, and groups now use flavor-style strings instead
of "flagsets" to specify flavors. The flavor configuration is now stored
on the system instead of being hard-coded into Conary, which requires that
the distro-release package (which contains the default system flavor
definition) be updated synchronously.

About: Cyphesis is a fantasy MMORPG server (and NPC engine for servers)
using AI/A-Life techniques which doesn't have a predefined story. It is
the Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life server/client used by the
WorldForge project.
Changes: The database code has been modified so that the server can be run
entirely without connecting to the database in demo mode, loading rule data
from files instead. Support has been added to the AI code to allow NPCs to
answer questions based on their Knowledge. The natural language processor
has been modified to be more tolerant of differences in sentence
structure. Reference counting has been implemented for all entities, and
used to massively improve the efficiency of broadcast operations. Support
has been added to configure to link most of the libraries statically to
make a redistributable binary.

Database
Database :: Front-Ends
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: DBMEdit is a web-based DBM database editor (in Perl 5). If you use
DBM files and don't have a simple way to edit them, you'll want this. It
treats each element in the DBM as several fields joined by a delimiter, in
effect supporting multiple columns within the single-column DBM format.
DBMEdit displays your DBM database as a table, and provides auto-sized
forms to add or edit records. Multi- user access is safe.
Changes: Five DBM formats are now supported. You can display fields as
select menus. Non-English text is handled better. A couple of bugs were
fixed.

ReiserFS, XFS, JFS, NTFS, and FAT filesystems (including Windows' dynamic
disks).
Changes: Disk images can now be restored using three protocols: Multicast
TFTP, NFS, and TFTP. An improved Web interface allows you to manage
clients by groups and profiles, and to view their current status (last
restored image, backup in progress, etc). Support was added for some new
SATA and RAID disk controllers. Background images can be displayed in
the PXE boot loader menu. Lots of bugs were fixed in the inventory, files
backup, and bootable CD modules.

[061] - Linux X10 Universal Device Driver 2.1.0 (Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x.)
by Scott Hiles (http://freshmeat.net/users/whiles/)
Mon, Jan 24th 2005 02:32
Communications
Home Automation
About: x10dev provides a /dev interface to an X10 network through a
combination of Linux kernel modules and daemons. It is intended to provide
a standard interface and syntax to shell script utilities (such as cat and
echo), Perl scripts, C programs, or Java programs so that everything from
a quick hack to a more advanced program can manipulate the X10 devices in
an automated home regardless of the transceiver used. Its simplest use is
with shell scripts (examples of which are provided in the package).
Currently the project supports the 3 X10 transceivers (PowerLinc Serial,
PowerLinc USB, and CM11A).
Changes: This version has a fix for a bug with the driver for the CM11A
which caused X10 housecodes to be incorrectly displayed in the logs. It
also introduces a better method to build and install the drivers so that
the user does not have to have kernel source code to use the drivers.

Mon, Jan 24th 2005 16:18
Security
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: The Network Security Policy Compiler (NetSPoC) is a tool for
security management of large computer networks with different security
domains. It generates configuration files for packet filters controlling
the borders of security domains. It provides its own language for
describing security policy and the topology of a network. The security
policy is a set of rules that state which packets are allowed to pass the
network and which are not. NetSPoC is topology aware; a rule for traffic
from A to B is automatically applied to all managed packet filters on the
path from A to B.
Changes: "chains" of iptables and "object-groups" of Cisco PIX are
supported now. NAT code for PIX ("static" and "global") is supported for
both directions. Handling of NAT has been generally enhanced to support
dynamic translation of multiple networks to a single address range.
Optimization of generated access control lists has been augmented by a
local optimization step for each router. Handling of subnets is improved
to get better results from optimization. Code for "any" rules is now
inserted at top of ACLs, following deny rules.

[073] - OSSP cfg 0.9.8
by Ralf S. Engelschall (http://freshmeat.net/users/rse/)
Mon, Jan 24th 2005 07:46
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Operating System
Text Processing
About: OSSP cfg is a ISO-C library for parsing arbitrary C/C++-style
configuration files. A configuration is sequence of directives, each
directive consists of zero or more tokens, and each token can be either a
string or again a complete sequence. This means the configuration syntax
has a recursive structure and allows you to create configurations with
arbitrarily-nested sections. The configuration syntax also provides
complex single/double/balanced quoting of tokens,
hexadecimal/octal/decimal character encodings, character escaping, C/C++
and shell-style comments, etc. The library API allows importing of a
configuration text into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), traversing the AST,
and optionally exporting the AST again as a configuration text.
Changes: A fix was made for "va_list" variable passing in "cfg_fmt_xxx"
functions. Autoconf support for va_copy() detection and usage was added.
The new GNU Bison 2.0 parser generator is now also accepted in the build
environment.

Software Development :: Libraries
About: OSSP str is a generic string handling library written in ISO-C
which provides functions for handling, matching, parsing, searching, and
formatting of ISO-C strings. It can be considered as a superset of POSIX
string(3), but its main intention is to provide a more convinient and
compact API and a more generalized functionality.
Changes: The build environment has been upgraded to GNU autoconf 2.59, GNU
libtool 1.5.10, and GNU shtool 2.0.1. Autoconf detection has been added for
"va_copy()" existence and its possible fallbacks.

Mon, Jan 24th 2005 07:32
About: Roadsend Compiler for PHP produces optimized stand alone
applications, libraries, and Web applications from standard PHP source
code. The compiler produces native machine code, not PHP byte code, so no
interpreter is required. It is a new implementation of the PHP language
and runtime environment compatible with Zend PHP. It does not share any
code with the open source PHP implementation.
Changes: An automatic deployment feature was added to the IDE. Source
level profiling on Windows was fixed. Performance improvements were made
for global variables. Various PHP-GTK, IDE, and compiler bugfixes were
made.

[091] - Ruby/CorporateTime 0.4.3
by Ian Macdonald (http://freshmeat.net/users/ianmacd/)
Mon, Jan 24th 2005 22:58
Office/Business :: Scheduling
Software Development :: Libraries :: Ruby Modules
Utilities
About: CorporateTime is a proprietary calendar server system produced by
Steltor. Ruby/CorporateTime is a Ruby language extension that serves as an
interface to the CorporateTime Calendar API (CAPI). Its purpose is to allow
interaction with CorporateTime servers via the Ruby programming language.
Changes: The CTime::Agenda#get_event is now implemented for Oracle CAPI
v9. The code that handled RECURRENCE-ID was removed, as this seemed to
result in the inability to update existing events using their UID and
CTime::Agenda#set_event. Event objects that defined @attendees now have
those attendees set when creating an event using CAPI v9.
CTime::Agenda::Event#duration_str was fixed to emit a more clearly defined
string. The previous format specifier was too loose.

Swing-based interface and Java2 compatibility. It has no automatic
persistence mechanism, but has a lot of new features not available in
Naked Objects.

Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
About: Wörms of Prey is a multi-player, real-time Worms clone for Linux
and Windows similar to Liero, NiL, or Wurmz. You control a little worm
and try to score as many frags as possible by shooting other worms or
scoring goals.
Changes: There are a lot of new items in the game: a new weapon (mine) and
new bonus items (health, fuel, and shield). The fuel is now needed for the
jetpack. Ropes can be completely released from the worm so that one can
attach any objects together. Finally, the scoring rules for the ball have
changed: now a goal can be scored if the ball is placed there on ropes
from only one player attached, no matter where the other end of the ropes
are attached to. Users of the precompiled Windows and Mac OS X packages
will enjoy the easier starting of server and client.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Software Development :: Testing
About: Web Performance Trainer is a load testing and stress testing tool
for Web servers. Its statistical analysis takes your site's performance
criteria, and determines the number of users your Web site can handle.
Because data is collected at the URL level, it not only identifies slow

the problem. Web Performance Trainer includes hard-to-find features such
as IP spoofing, client certificates, multiple simultaneous test cases,
authentication, SSL recording and playback, automated analysis, and more.
Changes: This version fixed a bug where the recording Tab URL was not
being updated after edit. It also fixed a virtual user logic error, which
caused fatal errors under certain conditions. A bug where timestamps on
playback errors were either out of order or incorrect was also fixed.
