Fri, Apr 29th 2005 23:38
Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Office/Business :: Groupware
About: Aeromys is an application that provides extremely fast access to
email through the Web. It accomplishes this by using predictive caching,
which means that information is retrieved from the mail server before it
is requested by the user. It is designed to be highly scalable, vastly
configurable, and extremely fast. The default front-end is written in PHP,
and the back-end engine is written in C.
Changes: This release boasts a major internal restructuring. The IMAP
library was switched from c-client to libEtPan. Multi-thread handling was
greatly improved.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Page Counters
About: BBclone is a PHP Web counter on steroids which displays individual
logs as well as aggregated data. It is a clone of Big Brother webstats,
except that it is written in PHP and it relies only on flat files (no
database needed). BBclone enables any Web site administrator to have a
very precise view of who visit the website: OS, browser, date, referring
page etc. Main features include reload resistance, hostname resolution,
proxy workaround, and blacklist.
Changes: Several minor bugs have been fixed, and the Russian and Ukrainian
translations have been updated.

About: dnshistory provides a means for storing a history of DNS/name
changes over time from the IP Addresses gathered from within Web log
files. At its simplest, it will do massively parallel name lookups very
quickly. The lookups are not DNS only, and will use whatever naming
services your system is configured with. A second mode will take a Web log
file and replace the IP addresses with the previously stored names, sending
the resulting output to STDOUT.

Software Development
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: Elektra provides a universal and secure framework to store
configuration parameters in a hierarchical key-value pair mechanism,
instead of each program using its own text configuration files. This
allows any program to read and save its configuration with a consistent
API, and allows them to be aware of other applications' configurations,
permitting easy application integration. While architecturally similar to
other OS registries, Elektra does not have most of the problems found in
those implementations.
Changes: New BerkeleyDB and ini files backends, ABI stabilization, better
XML import/export features and format, and improvements to the
documentation.

[013] - FormEntry 1.8
by Terry Gliedt (http://freshmeat.net/users/tgliedt/)
Fri, Apr 29th 2005 14:05
Database :: Front-Ends
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: FormEntry allows you to to generate an HTML interface for one or
more SQL tables. This allows users to maintain the content of the tables
through HTML forms rather than entering SQL commands through a terminal.
Since the forms are generated by this PHP application, there is no need
for users to understand the details of HTML forms. FormEntry allows you to
describe the column data with complex expressions to make it more difficult
for users to enter data incorrectly.
Changes: A major user interface rewrite. Bugfixes. XHTML and CSS support
have been added. A static demonstration site has been added. This release
requires a modern browser for the form that is generated. It requires a
careful review of your local_config.php. Be sure to compare it to the
released model_config.php.

About: The GtkDatabox widget (for use with the GTK+ widget set) is used to
display large amounts of numerical data in graphical representation.
Several sets of data may be shown at one time. You may zoom in and out and
navigate via scrollbars. The display of data is rather fast, so you can use
the widget for quickly changing data (i.e. an oscilloscope for example) as
well. The widget has already been adapted to several scientific projects
around the world.
Changes: The GtkItemFactory code (deprecated in gtk+-2.6) has been
replaced in the "colors" example.

by Nigel Wetters Gourlay (http://freshmeat.net/users/nwetters/)
Fri, Apr 29th 2005 09:18
Internet :: Log Analysis
Software Development :: Internationalization
Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules
About: IP::Country is a tool for fast lookup of country Finding the home
ccodes from IP addresses. Finding out the country of a client using only
the IP address can be difficult. Looking up the domain name associated
with that address can provide some help, but many IP address are not
reverse mapped to any useful domain, and the most common domain (.com)
offers no help when looking for country. This module comes bundled with a
database of countries where various IP addresses have been assigned.
Although the country of assignment will probably be the country
associated with a large ISP rather than the client herself, this is
probably good enough for most log analysis applications, and under test
has proved to be as accurate as reverse-DNS and WHOIS lookup.
Changes: This release amends LACNIC acceptable use, removes the dependency
on Geography::Countries (but not from ip2cc), removes the MaxMind tests,
and updates the database.

Office/Business
About: MailManager helps teams deal with large volumes of email by
allocating mail to the right person, providing tools to help answer it
(prioritisation, reply templates, and a knowledge base), and allowing
managers to set service levels for different types of mail and report on
performance against service levels and volumes received. MailManager is
based on Zope which is required to use it. It is cross-platform, but most
of the testing has been under Linux and Mac OS X.
Changes: This release adds internationalization of the help documentation,
the ability to archive/restore tickets (RFE 953290), created tickets which
can have multiple attachments (RFE 987700), replies which can also have
multiple attachments (RFE 859141), the ability to store a standard set of
attachments on the system (RFE 985469), user notification on re-assignment
of tickets (RFE 978035), internationalization (i18n) ready for translation
to other languages, support for SSL connections to remote IMAP servers,
and the ability to use any mail headers in filters (RFE 859102).

agnostic and makes very little assumptions about what are you trying to
do, allowing a great freedom to create any game type.
Changes: This release fixes a bug that was related to the way MySQL
managed transactions. It adds a method to request synchronization from a
unsynchronized client, so users should now expect better gameplay.

[033] - Metabase 2005.04.28
by Manuel Lemos (http://freshmeat.net/users/mlemos/)
Fri, Apr 29th 2005 00:25
Database :: Front-Ends
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
About: Metabase consists of a set of PHP classes to access and manage
databases using an API that assures DBMS independence. It supports MySQL,
PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL server, Microsoft Access, ODBC,
Interbase, Informix, MiniSQL, and SQLite flat file databases. There is a
function library that interfaces with DBMS specific driver classes, a
parser class that interperts a custom XML format used to describe database
schemas, and a manager class that installs database schema objects (tables,
indexes, sequences) using the Metabase API. The manager class is also able
to upgrade a previously installed database to a new schema without
affecting that data that was stored since the database was installed or
was upgraded for the last time. There is also schema reverse engineering
support to help migrate database-specific applications and start using
Metabase.
Changes: The schema manager class was fixed to dump values of tables
fields in the Metabase XML schema format encoding the & characters
correctly. The script to dump reverse engineered database schemas in
Metabase XML format was fixed to work properly when dumping databases with
tables with BLOB/CLOB fields.

connectivity to users behind NAT devices, most of which do not support
IPv6, and not even Proto-41 forwarding.
Changes: A connectivity issue with restricted Teredo clients/relays was
fixed. Connectivity loss detection was reworked and reintroduced. Support
for overriding the server from the command line has been added, as well as
some minor cleanup.

[066] - Stunnix VBS-Obfus 2.6
by Stunnix (http://freshmeat.net/users/stunnix/)
Fri, Apr 29th 2005 10:33
Internet
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
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: Non-standard syntax of the SSI #include command is supported now.
A bug in handling of files with something before the DOCTYPE declaration
was fixed. Stunnix Perl Web Server (used internally for the cross-platform
GUI) was updated to the most recent version.

Software Development :: Build Tools
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
About: smake is a higly portable make program with automake features. It
implements a complete superset of the features of the classical Unix make
program. It warns about typical misusage of dynamic macros that prevent

use in makefiles. This release will now print the current directory if
the exitcode != 0. It now appends to dependency lists even when the new
definition is found in a new makefile. It now warns if the dynamic macros
'$*' & '$<' are used for explicit Target Rules. Note that Sun Make and GNU
make are broken in this area and smake's behavor is the best a make
program may do. It no longer has a static command line macro limit of 64,
and no longer has a static -f makefile option limit of 32.
