even with journaled file systems such as Ext3, XFS, or ReiserFS.
Changes: The frequencies table is now sorted to avoid bugs in some BIOS
implementations when -minf is used. The program now checks for
/proc/acpi/processor/CPU/ directories.

Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Rendering
About: DirectX support for Wine is a set of patches against Wine to
implement DirectX 9. It allows modern games and 3D applications to run
under Wine. The patches include many experimental and beta features that
have not yet made it into the stable Wine source tree. The aim of the
project is to provide full support for DirectX 8 and 9 so that all games
and 3D applications will run on Linux or any other platform that Wine
supports.
Changes: This version includes support for the majority of the DirectX 9
feature set, so a lot of games and demos now are now in a playable state
(but with a few missing textures). Missing features include shaders and
proper offscreen textures.

About: E-keyboard is an Enlightenment epplet for switching between
different keymaps. It is a graphical frontend to the setxkbmap. The

superquadratic, and some lighting and Phong shading are applied to make
it look much nicer. Keymaps can be cycled with the mouse buttons or
wheel.
Changes: A GUI was added and some minor changes were made.

Software Development :: Libraries
Text Processing
About: GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode, and
IDNA specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized Domain Names
(IDN) working group. It is used to prepare internationalized strings (such
as domain name labels, usernames, and passwords) in order to increase the
likelihood that string input and string comparison work in ways that make
sense for typical users throughout the world. The library contains a
generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode 3.2 NFKC
normalization, mapping and prohibition of characters, and bidirectional
character handling. Profiles for iSCSI, Kerberos 5, Nameprep, SASL, and
XMPP are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via IDNA
are supported.
Changes: The cleanup of code to convert data between character sets was
finished, which may fix some (believed non-critical) memory leaks and an
arithmetic overflow.

About: Goodgoat Linux is a simple to use Linux distribution that can be
run from a USB drive, hard drive, or CD-ROM. Rather than overwhelming
users with a multitude of applications, it aims to have the best utility
for each job. In addition to including the latest software, it makes it
easy to share a computer's hard drive over a network.
Changes: Many packages were added along with menus for extra programs. An
installer that can install the full system from the CD to a hard drive was
included. The portage database is now available, meaning that an emerge
sync will result in a usable Gentoo system. iscsi server and client
software and qemu were included along with Bluetooth, modem, and
additional network driver support.

Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: Grand is a set of tools to create a visual representation of Ant
target dependencies. It works by taking an Ant build file and creating a
"dot" file. It differs from the existing tools by relying on the Ant API
rather than XML parsing to get the dependencies. It includes many
advanced features such as filtering or rendering depending on the target's
nature. It also features a GUI based on SWT, Draw2D, and JzGraph.
Changes: This release fixed an exception that occurred when parsing a file
with a taskdef outside of a target. A new filter for removing nodes by name
was added.

using umask if not. The history and the back/forward/up buttons in the
directory KPart has been fixed.

by eecid (http://freshmeat.net/users/eecid/)
Sat, Mar 19th 2005 07:14
About: Peeranha42 is an all-in-one software solution for P2P networks. The
software consists of two components, the P42 Client and the P42 Development
Kit. The client is the core of the software package and has a special
pluggable architecture. Furthermore, it builds up the interface between
the P2P network of JXTA and plugins using P2P networks. Due to the fact
that developing a P2P application is generally much harder and time
expensive than developing a simple client-server application, the client
offers an abstract network layer for easy development of P2P applications
in the form of P42 Plugins in minimum time. Some plugins are available for
download.
Changes: Bugfixes for 0.7. send() and receive() use BiDiPipes internally,
thus plugins can communicate with each other; one with BiDiPipes and the
other with send() and receive().

GoLive), you can create HTML pages where you place a tag wherever you need
and write the required Pot parameter and value tags. There are 41 objects
ready to be used.
Changes: An entire portal can now be created without writing a single line
of PHP code, just by using HTML/XML templates. ADODB support was added, so
now any database can be used. Variables and conditional objects were

by Kaare Rasmussen (http://freshmeat.net/users/Kaare/)
Sat, Mar 19th 2005 11:49
Database
Information Management
Office/Business
About: Report Writer produces nice-looking PostScript reports that are
defined in an XML file and based on data that are extracted from a
database. The extraction is performed with DBIx::Recordset, so the syntax
is the same as the syntax used by that package. A sample XML file is
included. This file (trialbal.xml) is a report for Trial Balance from the
FreeMoney project. The XML file contains sections for database, extraction
criteria (the "search" section), page header, breaks (which is where Report
Writer will make a nice total for you), and fields.
Changes: This version has been modularized. PDF and OOCalc are now both
supported. It can be used for reports or business documents such as
invoices.

[039] - Terminal Emulator 0.2.4
by bmeurer (http://freshmeat.net/users/bmeurer/)
Sat, Mar 19th 2005 15:46
Desktop Environment :: Window Managers :: XFCE
Terminals :: Terminal Emulators/X Terminals
About: Terminal is a modern terminal emulator for the Unix/Linux desktop,
primarly for the Xfce desktop environment. It was developed because Xfce
needed a lightweight and easy-to-use terminal emulator that didn't require
the user to install the GNOME libraries, but still provided a worthy
alternative to the GNOME terminal emulator, with all the bells and
whistles.
Changes: You can now open URLs from the terminal window. Two new advanced
options have been added (MiscCycleTabs and MiscTabCloseButtons). The
shortcuts to jump to a specific terminal tab work properly now, even if
the menubar is hidden. The configuration file is watched for changes and
will be reloaded automatically. Both D-BUS 0.23 and D-BUS 0.3x are
supported now. New translations (fi, he, ja, ru, and zh_CN) are available.

About: TextOS is a small operating system for text-based applications. It
is built on top of FreeDOS, and it runs programs made with the TextOS
BASIC programming language. It can be run from a floppy disk.

more appropriate "do not include ... extension." A bug where IFs and WHILEs
did not count differences in case was fixed. Various IF/ELSE and WHILE bugs
were fixed. Unnecessary variables were removed from various places. A bug
where END didn't end the program or subroutine if called from within an IF
or WHILE was fixed.
