[001] - /etc/net 0.7.0 (Scripts)
by Pilot (http://freshmeat.net/users/infrastation/)
Mon, Mar 21st 2005 05:08
System :: Boot :: Init
System :: Networking
System :: Systems Administration
About: /etc/net represents a new approach to Linux network configuration
tasks. Inspired by the limitations of traditional configuration
subsystems, /etc/net provides builtin support for configuration profiles,
interface name management, removable device support, full iproute2 command
set support, interface dependency resolution, and a QoS configuration
framework. /etc/net provides support for the following interface types:
Ethernet, WiFi (WEP), IPv6/IPv6 tunnels, PSK IPSec tunnels, VLAN, PLIP,
Ethernet bonding and bridging, traffic equalizer, Pent@NET, usbnet, and
PPP. Due to its modular design, support for new interface types can be
added without overall design changes.
Changes: A lot of code cleanups were done, leading to bugfixes, better
performance, and some incompatibility with previous releases. Initial
configuration examples were added. Initial multihost configuration support
was implemented.

by Paul Sherman (http://freshmeat.net/users/psherma1/)
Mon, Mar 21st 2005 00:01
Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Puzzle Games
About: 5ball is similar to klines, but bigger (and meant for at least
1024x768 screen res.). It includes many options such as different board
size, number of different colors, undo, different themes, etc. The object
is to make a line of 5 like- color balls which will eliminate them from the
grid. Score as much as you can before the grid fills. 3 new balls are
placed randomly on the grid each time you move without making a line.
Changes: The "medium" theme was tweaked to look better and the build tools
were updated.

Mon, Mar 21st 2005 09:14
Education
Software Development :: Documentation
System :: Systems Administration
About: The Advanced Bash Scripting Guide is both a reference and a
tutorial on shell scripting. This comprehensive book (the equivalent of
about 646 print pages) covers almost every aspect of shell scripting. It
contains over 300 profusely commented illustrative examples, and a number
of tables. Not just a shell scripting tutorial, this book also provides an
introduction to basic programming techniques, such as sorting and
recursion. It is well suited for either individual study or classroom use.
Changes: More bugfixes were made, some of them fairly important. New
material was added, including a few rather useful example scripts. This is
more than a "minor" update, but not quite a major one.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
About: AnotherScrapBook is a static Website generator. It can currently
handle (almost) all kinds of pictures, as well as MJPEG films as
typically generated by a digital camera.
Changes: This is a maintenance version. Quite a lot of code cleanup was
done. Some smalle bugs were fixed. The most important change is probably
the "quick-ident" function, which greatly speeds up the identification of
your files, at the price of a slight fuzziness. The "install.sh" script
should be used to install ASB.

Mon, Mar 21st 2005 05:39
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, so that the process of
converting the input string into the printed output is performed by the
printer itself. This avoids 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,
ISBN, Code 128 (A, B, and C), Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Postnet, Code 2
of 5, and Codabar.
Changes: Support for the Royal Mail/RM4SCC symbology was added. A minor
fix was made to the positioning of human readable text in the PostNet
symbology.

Mon, Mar 21st 2005 22:21
Office/Business :: Financial
Office/Business :: Financial :: Investment
About: beancounter enables stockmarket data analysis and performance
evaluation. It has two main modes. The first is data gathering - both
current data (e.g. closing prices, high, low, volume etc.) and historical
price data can be retrieved efficiently using multiple securities per
requests, and stored in an SQL database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite are
supported) via easy command line operations. The second mode is data
analysis, based on the previously stored data. This comprises various
performance reports, as well as a Value-at-Risk analysis. beancounter is
implemented as a Perl module, and a Perl command-line frontend to the
module. It supports different stock markets from around the globe, foreign
exchange rates, US mutual funds, and US options.
Changes: Two new commands for portfolio listing and stock deactivation
were added, as well as three new command-line options. A new optional FX
data backend (at UBC) was added, and several other small changes and
improvements were made.

[017] - Conary 0.50.5
by Michael K. Johnson (http://freshmeat.net/users/johnsonm/)
Mon, Mar 21st 2005 22:04
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: Installing and updating were made faster by moving some hot code
paths from Python to C and by enabling the small rollback feature
announced in 0.50.4. A few bugs in shadow merging and group installation
were fixed. The loadRecipe syntax was changed to be more flexible and
useful when building a derivative distribution.

[024] - FOX 1.5.1 (Development)
by jeroen (http://freshmeat.net/users/jvz/)
Mon, Mar 21st 2005 22:10
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: FOX is a C++-based toolkit for GUI development. It includes a rich
set of widgets and has powerful yet simple layout managers, MDI widgets,
and mega-widgets. FOX incorporates support for XDND for drag and drop, X
clipboard and X Selection, watching other I/O channels and sockets, timers
and idle processing, object serialization and deserialization, a registry
to save persistent settings, and 3D widgets using Mesa or OpenGL. FOX
works on Linux, IRIX, Solaris, HP/UX, AIX, Tru64 Unix, Windows 9x,NT,2K
(VC++, GNUWIN32, Borland, VisualAge C++), FreeBSD, and Sequent.
Changes: Unicode tables were added. The fxchar.h header file provides
functions operating on 32-bit wide Unicode characters. They support the
full range from U+000000 to U+10FFFF. FOX will support wide characters,
but most functions will work on UTF-8, which is a more compact and
manageable representation of Unicode characters. Scroll capability was
added to FXTabBar and FXTabBook. The "remove" APIs in various container
classes were renamed to "erase", which more closely resembles STL
container classes' nomenclature. Mouse wheel support was added for
FXComboBox, FXListBox, and FXTreeListBox.
