Communications
Information Management
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: GeboGebo is a wiki system written for tdbengine. It stores all data
in a local database structure and thus provides an indexed fulltext search.
It uses a simple syntax, and has user lists, pages history, a missing pages
list, and a recent changes list. Image and file upload are possible, but
can be disabled. This allows it to work as a small document management
system. A blacklist allows you to lock existing pages from being edited or
new pages from being created. It can also be run in static mode, where all
pages are additionally held as static HTML pages.
Changes: Namespace support was added. Thus, it is possible to have
identical page names more than once in your wiki. The namespace usage is
optional. The ability to rename pages has been added, too. When renaming a
page, its history stays, so anyone can notice the renaming. I18n support
was added, so one can switch the language by simply setting the desired
language in the configuration. At the moment, English and German are
implemented. A page hit counter provides some minimalistic visitor
statistics. The code and the templates have been cleaned for better
understanding.

Thu, Feb 10th 2005 11:00
Education :: Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)
About: GFlashCards is a learning tool for Mono and Gnome#. It lets you
create questions that you can answer one by one (like with flashcards),
helping you to learn things like vocabulary lists or lists of historical
facts.
Changes: You can create lists of questions, save lists, open saved lists,
and have it ask you the questions one by one. It isn't very smart about
asking the questions. Right now, it just picks them randomly and makes
sure it never asks the same one twice in a row. Also, if you save while
it's asking questions, weird things may happen. It'll definitely lose your
progress since the last time you were in the edit mode, and worse things
could happen.

Games/Entertainment
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: Headline Munger generates random headlines from the various news
sources. The script uses normalized content from the sources where the
content is composed of sentences, where each word in those sentences is
saved together with the word that follows. Once all the content is
collected, the script has a list of unique words each with a series of
next words. When it is run, the script chooses a random starting point
and continues from there to construct a headline.

Changes: 12-bit gray JPEGs and broken JPEGs are now supported, and the
JPEG compression/quality level can be determined. A bug in the TIFF-Fax
decoder was fixed. Image data is now loaded directly into an array. EXIF,
IPTC, and XMP metadata editing is now supported. Conversions from
12/16-bit data to 8-bit data was improved.

Artistic Software
Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
About: Inkscape is a drawing tool with capabilities similar to
Illustrator, Freehand, and CorelDraw that uses the W3C standard scalable
vector graphics format (SVG). The supported SVG features include basic
shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms,
gradients, and grouping. In addition, it supports Creative Commons
meta-data, node-editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path,
and SVG XML editing. It also imports several formats like EPS, Postscript,
JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based
formats.
Changes: Color and grayscale tracing for converting bitmaps to vector
graphics has been added along with the new clone tiler, a way to create
patterns, tessellations, and many other arrangements. Management of length
units was cleaned up, extended, and centralized. The px user unit of SVG is
now fully supported and has been made the default. Translations were
updated, and many bugfixes and internationalization updates were made. The
Windows version received much attention.

Thu, Feb 10th 2005 13:56
Internet
Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules
About: Kamaelia is a project that aims to allow the BBC and others to
create and test open protocols for large scale streaming. Substantial
subsystems include a core concurrency subsystem and the beginnings of an
RTSP/RTP streaming server. Existing functionality includes a complete
single threaded, coroutine-based concurrency framework (Axon), a generic
TCP client and server framework that allows protocols to be trivially
created, a number of example protocols, and an Ogg Vorbis decoding
subsystem for client site testing (libvorbissimple).
Changes: Major performance enhancements for the general case where people
run without -OO flags to Python. The reason for this is that the debug
subsystem was rewritten. Changes to the debug system should also reduce
the risk of Heisenbugs at a later point in time.

by Peter Bienstman (http://freshmeat.net/users/pbienst/)
Thu, Feb 10th 2005 10:38
Education
Education :: Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)
About: MemAid is like a traditional flashcard program to help you memorize
question/answer pairs, but with an important twist: it uses a neural
network to schedule the best time for an item to come up for review.
Difficult items that you tend to forget quickly will be scheduled more
often, while MemAid won't waste your time on things you remember well.
This means that your learning process becomes much more efficient, because
the neural network gradually adapts to your personal memory model.
Changes: Changes to the file format to fix an occasional saving under
Windows problem. A bug with regard to category corruption when deleting an
item has been fixed. Export your databases to XML before installing this
version, and then import them from XML after upgrading.

by cstevens (http://freshmeat.net/users/cstevens/)
Thu, Feb 10th 2005 00:59
Games/Entertainment :: Real Time Strategy
About: Mercator Grid is a networked real-time strategy game that
incorporates actual GIS map terrain and NATO map symbology
(MIL-STD-2500B). It can be configured to include several player roles,
including fire team leaders and commanders.
Changes: The game is now much better due to a sharper playing field and
units that are significantly easier to handle. A larger map scale yields
finer game play and high image quality even at magnification. Unit
movement was improved greatly through speed adjustments and anti-aliased
roads. Bridges and rivers were incorporated, which added significantly to
the game's look and strategy dynamic. Commanders must now consider the
rivers when planning their tactics. Good commanders will use the rivers to
their advantage.

[042] - minpair 3.0
by Bill Poser (http://freshmeat.net/users/billposer/)
Thu, Feb 10th 2005 03:49
Text Processing :: Linguistic
About: minpair generates a complete list of minimal pairs (words differing
in exactly one segment) from a list of words in UTF-8 Unicode. By default,
only searches for pairs of words of the same length differing in exactly
one segment. Command line options allow the addition of single insertions
or deletions and single transpositions. In order to find all minimal pairs
it is normally necessary for the input notation to use one character for
each segment. Even in IPA transcription, this is often not the case.
minpair provides for this situation by accepting definitions of
multigraphs.
Changes: This release added the ability to compress multigraphs.

System :: Archiving
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Archiving :: Compression
About: Star is a very fast, POSIX-compliant tar archiver. It saves many
files together into a single tape or disk archive, and can restore
individual files from the archive. It includes command line interfaces for
the "tar", "Sun-Tar", "cpio", "pax", and "gnutar" command-line syntax. It
includes a FIFO for speed, a pattern matcher, multi-volume support, the
ability to archive sparse files and ACLs, the ability to archive extended
file flags, automatic archive format detection, automatic byte order
recognition, automatic archive compression/decompression, remote archives,
and special features that allow star to be used for full and incremental
backups. It includes the only known platform independent "rmt" server
program.

acltext.c was included from the OpenSolaris sources to allow better ACL
support on Solaris. The program now checks whether the selected archive
format supports ACLs if called in create mode with -acl. A bug that caused
star -match-tree to behave incorrectly if no pattern matching was involved
was fixed. A new star_sym program that helps to debug the database created
with incremental restores was added.

About: Stunnix VBS-Obfus protects your VBScript code from potential
analysis, study, or reworking by unwanted parties. It's both an obfuscator
and encoder for the VBScript code. It converts the VBScript in raw .vbs
files, or in ASP or HTML pages into a highly obfuscated form, making it
extremely difficult to study, analyse, or reuse, while fully retaining
functionality of the original source code. It optionally adds expiration
and hostname checking. It has a lot of options to control all aspects of
code hiding, and has full support for all syntax constructs. It is
designed to be multi-module aware.
Changes: A lot of useful improvements in Project Manager. The reliability
of Project Manager on Windows is improved due to improvements in Stunnix
Perl Web Server. Support for projects with arbitrary files in them has
been improved. Various bugfixes and improvements all over the code and
documentation have been made.

was improved, message text search was reimplemented, the popup of windows
was improved, and non-UTF8 filename handling in the file selection dialog
