About: Campsite is a multilingual content management system (CMS) for news
Web sites. Campsite's user interface was built with the end user
(journalist, editor, publisher) in mind, and it can be configured to suit
different profiles of end users. Campsite follows the print-newspaper
publishing paradigm, so it structures sites by default as Publications >
Issues > Sections > Articles. Campsite works best for medium-to-large-size
online news publications, but it is capable of handling nimbler sites too.
Changes: This release adds lots of installation bugfixes and upgrade
bugfixes, fixes the refresh issue (sometimes the page was not displayed,
and the reader had to click "refresh" to see it), finishes the upgrading
chapter in the manual (describing the potential upgrading issues), and
fixes a parser crash related to the "topic off" statement.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Analysis
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Editors
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: MIDI
About: Freecycle is a beat slicer that provides amplitude domain and
frequency domain beat matching and zero crossing algorithms. It exports
sliced audio chunks and generates a MIDI file that can be used to play the
sliced loop. It also exports AKAI S5000/S6000/Z4/Z8 .AKP files for use with
your favorite sampler. A LADSPA interface with full control parameter
automation and some quite basic but powerful routing schemas is also
provided. With traditional amplitude (scope) view, a fully integrated
spectrogram view is also offered, which is useful for LADSPA filter
visualization. Freecycle has a basic OSS output and preliminary JACK layer
connectivity.
Changes: This release adds a complete rewrite of the internal audio
workflow, which enhances the stability of Freecycle, corrects the
round-off errors in the spectrogram view, adds Polyline and Bézier draw
modes for LADSPA automation, and adds a nonlinear amplitude envelope on
each locked beatline.

Changes: The main focus of this release is to correct the oversight that
prohibited re-use of cached moves in the reversi extension. This caused
enormous memory usage, but has now been corrected. The AI will no longer
waste time searching the tree for the case when only one move is
available.

by Willy Tarreau (http://freshmeat.net/users/wtarreau/)
Sat, Apr 30th 2005 12:24
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
System :: Networking
About: HAproxy is a high-performance and highly-robust TCP/HTTP load
balancer which provides cookie-based persistence, automatic failover,
run-time regex-based header control, advanced logging contents to help
trouble-shooting buggy applications and/or networks, and a few other
features. Its own event-driven state machine achieves 10,000 hits per
second on modern hardware, even with thousands of simultaneous
connections. It currently lacks SSL and keep-alive, both of which are
planned.
Changes: HTTP/303 redirection was added. Regex syntax checking in the
configuration parser was improved to avoid trouble at runtime. FD_SETSIZE
was configured to 65536 by default on Solaris because several users got
hit by the default limit of 1024 fds. Solaris users are invited to either
upgrade or recompile their current version to avoid being hit by this low
limit.

About: The LibXDiff library implements basic and yet complete
functionalities to create file differences/patches to both binary and text
files. It uses memory files as file abstraction to achieve both performance
and portability. For binary files, it implements (with some modification)
the algorithm described in "File System Support for Delta Compression" by
Joshua P. MacDonald. For text files, it follows directives described in
"An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and Its Variations" by Eugene W. Myers.
Memory files used by the library are basically a collection of buffers
that store the file content.
Changes: A bug in the mmfile seek function was fixed, and binary patching
performance was considerably improved.

[040] - otl 0.28
by david a thompson (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomp/)
Sat, Apr 30th 2005 14:18
Text Processing :: General
About: otl converts a text file written in a user-specified syntax to a
second text file with user-specified markup. The default conversion is
from a simple, readable text file syntax for outlines to XHTML. However,
otl could be used for many types of conversions since the syntax of the
source file and the markup used for the output can both be specified by
the user. It can deal with more complex structures such as ordered and
unordered lists (nested or unnested), add custom "headers" and "footers"
to documents, etc.
Changes: otl now processes documents containing multiple ordered lists
correctly, regardless of length or nesting. The --debug flag can now be
used with otl and tag-remove to give verbose output. The tag-remove script
now cleans up the input file (removing extraneous control-M characters,
tabs, and spaces) and recognizes and removes XML-type tags that span
multiple lines.

Sat, Apr 30th 2005 23:13
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
System :: Installation/Setup
About: Simple Perl Package Manager tracks the files added or deleted from
a system by using "find". It can detect modified files using installwatch,
make backups of modified or deleted files, and remove, list, or make a
tarball of a package. It records MD5 checksums of all installed files and
includes a script to verify them and check other attributes of a package.
Changes: This release condenses the default 'steps' down to configure,
build, and install. Running of sysfind and sysdiff is now part of the
installation process, and installwatch is used if it is installed.
Installwatch logs are now used by default for the "final" package file
listing, but a copy of the listing produced by sysdiff is also saved for
comparison. Installwatch package listing are now mostly reliable, but
beware (i.e. compare to sysdiff's output) for some packages, especially
large packages such as gcc which do "unusual" things when installing. The
install scripts were upgraded.
