[001] - adevs 1.3
by Ack (http://freshmeat.net/users/ack/)
Sun, Mar 27th 2005 20:12
Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Libraries
About: adevs is a C++ library for developing discrete event simulations
based on the Parallel DEVS and DSDEVS formalisms.
Changes: This release introduces three changes. A new section was added to
the documentation. A new scheduler is being used in the simulation kernel.
Two problems in the dynamic structure code were identified and corrected.
These changes only affect models that migrate from network to network or
that use deep hierarchies of network models (and they caused fatal errors
if you encountered them, so don't worry about subtle effects on your
simulation results).

Database :: Front-Ends
Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
About: Alexandria is a GNOME application to help manage a book collection.
It retrieves book information (including cover pictures) from several
online libraries, allows you to search for a book (either by EAN/ISBN,
title, authors, or keyword), can import and export data into ONIX,
Tellico, and EAN/ISBN-list formats, generates Web pages from your
libraries, allows marking your books as loaned, saves data using the YAML
format, features an HIG-compliant user interface, shows books in different
views that can be filtered or sorted, and handles book rating and notes.
Changes: This is mostly a quick bugfix version, even if some features were
added in the mean time (such as a book provider to the Amadeus Austrian
library). 0.5.0 users are encouraged to upgrade.

[006] - auto nice daemon 1.2.2
by P. Schemitz (http://freshmeat.net/users/schemitz/)
Sun, Mar 27th 2005 16:50
System
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: auto nice daemon activates itself in certain intervals, and renices
jobs according to their priority, and CPU usage. Jobs owned by root are
left alone. Jobs are never increased in their priority. It is very
flexible. The renice intervals can be adjusted, as well as the default
nice level, and the activation intervals. A priority database stores
user/group/job tuples along with their renice values for three CPU usage
time ranges. The strategy for searching the priority database can be
configured. Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Digital UNIX, Solaris, and IRIX are
supported.
Changes: Under some Linux variants, /proc/<pid>/stat always belongs to
root, thus undermining the renice efforts. and(8) now uses /proc/<pid>
instead to determine the UID/GID of a process. On the and.conf.5 man page,
the examples were fixed (now defaultnice instead of default).

Internet
System :: Archiving :: Mirroring
About: debian-multimirror is a tool that eases and automates the creation
and maintenance of custom Debian mirrors by mirroring only what you need.
You can choose what packages to mirror, and include or exclude them based
in regular expressions. It uses parallel programming to exploit redundancy
between mirrors and download from several mirrors at the same time for best
performance and less mirror load. A custom algorithm is used to select a
consistent set of packages, and out of sync or even broken mirrors can
still be used. SHA1 and MD5 package information is used to assure data
integrity. It uses an XML file for configuration of the local mirror, and
writes the correspondent "Package" files after finishing mirroring.
Changes: This version is released due to no bugs found during the last 5
months.

About: Dijjer is a peer-to-peer HTTP cache, designed to allow the
distribution of large files from Web servers while virtually eliminating
the bandwidth cost to the file's publisher. Dijjer is designed to be
simple, elegant, and to cleanly integrate with existing applications where
possible. Dijjer uses "UDP hole punching" to allow it to operate from
behind firewalls without any need for manual reconfiguration. Dijjer's
distributed and scalable content distribution algorithm is inspired by
Freenet.
Changes: A serious bug in how the messaging layer waited on multiple
messages has been fixed. Failed network connection detection has been
improved. This version is a mandatory upgrade.

Sun, Mar 27th 2005 08:37
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
About: DTGraph builds graphs and stats based on temperature readings
stored in MySQL from any temperature measurement interface such as
1-wire/digitemp (even Web sources if desired). It can show closeups of
particular intervals and sensors. Several useful utilities for alarm
notifications and mobile monitoring are also included.
Changes: Celsius was misspelled. Deletion of alarms, metadata, and readins
from the admin page. Alarms are shown on the graph as icons (configurable).
All code works with PHP set to NOTICE (this used to break). There are many
small bugfixes and some cleanup. The end time/absolute time interface bug
has been fixed (some of the drop downs had no effect). Cookie lifetime is
a configurable preference.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Software Development :: Libraries
About: ccaudio2 is a simple, highly portable, stand-alone, C++-based
framework for manipulation of audio data. Its goal is to be a C++
framework that is as useful as "audiofile" or "sndfile" is for C
programming, and to cover various generic and useful manipulations of
audio data as well as audio file access. A stand-alone audio processing
command line tool is also provided to demonstrate library functionality.
ccaudio2 compiles under Mac OS X, POSIX systems, and Win32 systems.
Changes: Very preliminary support for accessing MPEG-encoded audio data
from within MPEG audio container files. Files with ID3.2 headers are
broken, as offset to first MPEG audio fragments do not appear to match
id3_2 reported header length. Overall changes for supporting
packet-oriented reading/writing of audio data, such as for accessing MPEG
audio data, and for future .ogg container audio support.

authorization against an LDAP server using several different means of
managing the authentication and authorization processes. This
implementation can also manage records through a Web interface, and
authenticate against an LDAP server that restricts the user from reading
the password and the implementation of Kerberos-based authentication to
connect to the LDAP server itself.
Changes: PsLDAPAuthFilter was added to allow the user to add filters to
acquisition of the user record during authentication. Disabling of
authentication was separated from authorization through the introduction
of the PsLDAPEnableAuthz parameter.

[031] - pasmal 1.8
by James Meehan (http://freshmeat.net/users/jamesmeehan/)
Sun, Mar 27th 2005 16:24
System :: Networking
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: pasmal is a TCP/IP packet authentication system. When it receives a
sequence of ICMP or TCP packets to any port (open/closed), it will issue a
command on the server. It uses a "smokescreen frame" that features
encrypted authentication packets for avoiding sniffers, as well as a
TCP/UDP key for remotely activating the system. pasmal comes with an
optional Web-based administrator that can handle all its
filter/firewall/port knocking/encoding keys facilities. It also acts as an
intrusion detection system due to its sniffer capabilities.
Changes: A major bug in the psnif.c function processpacket() has been
corrected to solve a conflict between port knocking sequence and encrypted
sequences. A minor bug in the log.c function log() has been corrected to
have logging work. Code optimization, program comments, and an ENGINE file
have been added to help developers understand pasmal.c. Optimization of the
intrusion detection code (module_alert.c) to have a fast intrusion
detection engine.

[061] - zsync 0.3.3
by Colin Phipps (http://freshmeat.net/users/cph/)
Sun, Mar 27th 2005 08:03
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: zsync is a implementation of rsync over HTTP. It allows updating of
files from a remote Web server without requiring a full download or a
special remote server application. It uses a metafile, which is created on
the server, to determine which parts of a file the user already has; it
then downloads the remaining parts via HTTP. No special server or Web
server module is needed. It also works with gzip files, and content on the
server can be compressed to further reduce download times.
Changes: An optimising compressor was added, which gives zsync efficiency
close to that of "rsync -z". Support was added for retaining a local copy
of a .zsync, and only downloading updates. Various minor bugfixes were
made.
