[001] - abcm2ps 4.9.8 (Development)
  by Guido Gonzato (http://freshmeat.net/users/goccia/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 07:06

Printing

About: abcm2ps is a package that converts music tunes from ABC format to
PostScript. Based on abc2ps version 1.2.5, it was developed mainly to
print baroque organ scores that have independant voices played on one or
more keyboards, and a pedal-board. It introduces many extensions to the
ABC language that make it suitable for classical music. 

Changes: Several bugs affecting clefs, bars, and stem lengths were fixed.

[003] - AfterStep 2.1.0 (Stable)
  by Vaevictus (http://freshmeat.net/users/vaevictus/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 14:31

Desktop Environment :: Window Managers

About: AfterStep is a Window Manager for X which started by emulating the
NeXTSTEP look and feel, but which has been significantly altered according
to the requests of various users. Many adepts will tell you that NeXTSTEP
is not only the most visually pleasant interface, but also one of the most
functional and intuitive out there. AfterStep aims to incorporate the
advantages of the NeXTSTEP interface, and add additional useful features.

Changes: WinTabs, the window multiplexer module of AfterStep, was added.
This allows windows to be arranged together, selectable through tabs.
Compensation for poorly coded applets designed for a broken dock has been
implemented for ease of use. Some bugfixes are included.

  Tue, May 17th 2005 14:31

Software Development
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
Text Editors :: Integrated Development Environments (IDE)

About: BlueJ is an interactive Java development environment. It provides a
unique user interface that presents a graphical display of the application
classes and their relationships, and it lets users interactively create
objects of any class. Once objects have been created, users can interact
with them directly. This interaction mechanism allows for much greater
testing and experimentation than in conventional environments. BlueJ is
suited for teaching and learning OO and Java.

Changes: This version provides compatibility with MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger). It
also includes several other bugfixes and some feature improvements,
including the ability to open jar and zip files, improved handling of
generics in the codepad, and support for handling UNC paths.

  by joe (http://freshmeat.net/users/joe1278/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 21:33



About: Calendar of Events is a Web-based calendar of events built with PHP
and MySQL with an administration interface and a variety of repeating entry
scheduling options. This is not meant to have a personal calendar look and
feel but rather a community calendar to post upcoming events. 

Changes: This release removes support for Sablotron and PHP4 and  changes
scripts to use PHP5 and the new XSL extension that  comes with it.

[010] - cdrtools 2.01.01a03 (Development)
  by Jörg Schilling (http://freshmeat.net/users/schily/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 06:59

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Ripping
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Writing
System :: Archiving

About: cdrtools (formerly cdrecord) creates home-burned CDs with a
CDR/CDRW recorder. It works as a burn engine for several applications. It
supports CD recorders from many different vendors; all SCSI-3/mmc- and
ATAPI/mmc-compliant drives should also work. Supported features include
IDE/ATAPI, parallel port, and SCSI drives, audio CDs, data CDs, and mixed
CDs, full multi-session support, CDRWs (rewritable), TAO, DAO, RAW, and
human-readable error messages. cdrtools includes remote SCSI support and
can access local or remote CD writers. 

Changes: Makefiles-1.5 is now used. New autoconf tests/workarounds were
made for broken Linux kernel include files. A workaround for the Linux
Generic SCSI transport that has been broken with Linux-2.6.8.1 was
introduced. The -shorttrack option for RAW mode is now also allowed. The
minimal grace time was enhanced from 2 to 3 seconds to make sure that
cdrecord will work with the volume management system. Better checks and
better error messages were written for /etc/default/cdrecord. Support for
Ultra speed+ CD-RW media recognition was added. Mkisofs diagnostic
programs no longer dump core when called with dev= parameters.

Information Management :: Issue Tracking
Information Management :: Records Management

About: CitrusDB is a Web-based customer database application that  uses
PHP and a database backend to  keep track of customer information,
services, products,  billing, and customer service information. 

Changes: This version adds some rudimentary online customer account
management and greatly changes the login system so that everything runs
through the default index.php file for improved security and easier
updates. It adds an updated config file to edit during installation and a
new user class that replaces the old user login system.

[013] - CLEX 3.11 
  by Vlado Potisk (http://freshmeat.net/users/vpfm/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 08:35

System :: Shells
System :: Systems Administration

About: CLEX is a file manager with a full-screen user interface written in
C with the curses library. It displays directory contents (including file
status details) and provides features like command history, filename
insertion, or name completion in order to help the user to construct
commands to be executed by the shell (there are no built-in commands).
CLEX is easily configurable and all its features are explained in the
on-line help. 

Changes: The sort order in the directory panel was not controlled by the
configuration parameter COLLATE. This is now fixed. The panel used for
confirmation of the configuration changes has been merged into the
configuration panel. Entries in the command history list can be now
deleted. A new option has been added to the directory compare panel.

[015] - ComputeMode 1.2 
  by Pierre Lombard (http://freshmeat.net/users/plicatis/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 09:30

Office/Business :: Scheduling
Scientific/Engineering
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks

About: ComputeMode is a product that allows an organization HPC grid to be
extended through aggregation of unused computing resources. For instance,
ComputeMode allows a virtual cluster to be built using an organization's
employees' PCs while they are not being used. Practically, most PCs in
large companies are idle at night, on weekends, and during employee
vacations, training periods, or business trips. ComputeMode allows you to
take advantage of these available resources. 

Changes: Both client and server parts have been updated. CCISS raid cards
are supported. Issues with NFS exports were fixed. Support for Broadcom
cards was added. Mandriva 10.2/LE2005 was added as a client OS.

  by Scott Pakin (http://freshmeat.net/users/pakin/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 10:53

Communications
Software Development :: Compilers
System :: Benchmark

About: coNCePTuaL is a domain-specific programming language for rapidly
generating programs that measure the performance and/or test the
correctness of networks and network protocol layers. A few lines of
coNCePTuaL code can produce programs that would take significantly more
effort to write in a conventional programming language. 

Changes: The new "logmerge" (and complementary "logunmerge") utility,
besides making large-cluster runs more convenient, can also identify
differently configured cluster nodes to help track down performance
anomalies. In addition, system interrupts are now tallied in log files
because interrupts can affect measurements. Other changes include support
for field widths in log-file templates (e.g. "%04p"), logging of topology
information, code and documentation clean-ups, and fixes for various minor
problems in the build process to make coNCePTuaL even more portable.

[017] - ConceptualTesting 1.0 
  by alphaWorks (http://freshmeat.net/users/alphaworks/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 02:09



About: ConTest is a tool that can be used to expose and eliminate 
concurrency-related bugs in parallel and distributed Java  programs. It
systematically and transparently schedules the  execution of program
threads such that program scenarios  that are likely to contain race
conditions, deadlocks, and other  intermittent bugs (collectively called
synchronization problems)  are forced to appear with high frequency.
Because bugs are  found earlier in the testing process, the project
dramatically  improves the quality of testing and reduces development 
expense.

[018] - Config::General 2.28 
  by Tom (http://freshmeat.net/users/zarahg/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 08:35

Software Development :: Libraries

About: With Config::General you can read and write config files and access
the parsed contents from a hash structure. The format of config files
supported by Config::General is inspired by the Apache config format (and
is 100% compatible with Apache configs). It also supports some
enhancements such as here-documents, C-style comments, and multiline
options.  

Changes: A new files() method was added, which returns a list of all
parsed files. The relative include feature was fixed. Blocknames with
whitespaces were fixed.

Security :: Cryptography

About: cpm (Console Password Manager) is a small console tool to manage
passwords and other sensitive data and store them in a public-key
encrypted file. It also allows you to configure the whole hierarchy
yourself, so it's easily adoptable for many requirements. The encryption
is handled through GnuPG, and the data inside is stored as XML. 

Changes: A Gentoo ebuild file and a more general import function were
added. Data from PMS and Password Safe can now be imported. In transparent
terminals, the transparency is not overwritten.

[020] - cpphs 0.9 
  by Malcolm Wallace (http://freshmeat.net/users/MalcolmWallace/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 09:53

Software Development :: Pre-processors

About: cpphs is a more liberal re-implementation of cpp, the C
pre-processor, in Haskell. The C pre-processor is widely used in Haskell
source code, but a true cpp is often unavailable on some systems (such as
native Windows), and the common cpp provided by the gcc 3.x series has
become more strictly tied to the C language, in subtle ways that are
incompatible with Haskell's syntax. This includes problems with, for
instance, string gaps, and prime characters in identifiers. This project
provides a robust alternative to cpp that is more compatible with Haskell
and can be distributed with compilers. 

Changes: This release fixes a bug introduced by changes in the ghc-6.4
compiler. Output buffers are now explicitly flushed before cpphs
terminates.

  Tue, May 17th 2005 11:08

Software Development :: Compilers

About: Fjavac is a compiler for a tiny functional subset of Java. It is
implemented in OCaml using Generalized LR (GLR, aka Tomita) parsing and
Ordered Context-Free Grammar (OCFG). GLR and OCFG allow token scanning
(lexing), grammar parsing (yaccing), type definitions, tree constructions,
and error reporting to be cleanly specified and automatically constructed.
In particular, GLR handles shift-reduce and reduce-reduce conflicts by
local search, while OCFG resolves associativity and precedence at the
production rule level instead of the token level. Currently, only parsing
and type checking are implemented. A full compiler for Generic Java (aka
Java 1.5) is underway.

Scientific/Engineering

About: GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which was inspired by
both TeX and GNU Emacs. The editor allows you to write structured documents
via a "wysiwyg" and user friendly interface. The program implements high
quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts. It is also possible to use
TeXmacs as an interface to computer algebra systems. Finally, TeXmacs
supports the Guile/Scheme extension language, which makes it possible to
adapt the user interface to specific needs, and even to extend the editor.

Changes: The Scheme part of TeXmacs was heavily reorganized: the 
directory and module structure was reviewed, the boot  procedure improved,
and contextual overloading added as a  new language primitive. Also, dashed
lines and filled curves  were implemented for the upcoming graphical mode.

[030] - Hat 2.04 
  by Malcolm Wallace (http://freshmeat.net/users/MalcolmWallace/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 09:56

Software Development
Software Development :: Debuggers
Software Development :: Pre-processors

About: Hat (Haskell Tracer) is a tracing and  debugging system for Haskell
that can be  used for comprehending working programs,  and debugging an
incorrect one. It consists of  hat-trans, which transforms a program into 
one that traces itself using your normal  compiler and a runtime library,
and a set of  browsing tools that explore the trace after  execution of
the program has completed.

Changes: Hat now supports compilers from ghc-5.04.2 and nhc98-1.18
upwards, including the entire ghc-6 series. There is support for more of
the standard hierarchical libraries (but the tracing versions are still
only a subset of the full list). Various other feature improvements
include recording full source positions in the trace rather than just
start-positions, and recording do-notation, meaning that visual linkage
from the trace to your program is far more helpful. A range of
experimental tracing tools is included.

[034] - hmake 3.10 
  by Malcolm Wallace (http://freshmeat.net/users/MalcolmWallace/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 10:01

Software Development
Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Compilers

About: hmake is a compilation manager for Haskell  programs. It is
compiler independent, and  liberates the programmer from needing to  write
Makefiles by extracting dependencies  directly from the source code. It is
aware of all  compiler invocation conventions, and of  several common
pre-processors, including  cpp, greencard, hsc2hs, c2hs, and happy.

Changes: This release improves the extraction of import decls from source
files: corner cases like multiple imports on a single line are now
accepted. Source file scanning is now lazier: it stops at the first line
that indicates no further import decls are possible. This fixes some bugs
dealing with .hsc files and .ly files. The new package story in ghc-6.4 is
dealt with, and hmake now interprets the compiler option -odir=foo
correctly, as well as passing it on to the compiler.

  by Robert Schwebel (http://freshmeat.net/users/rschwebel/)
  Tue, May 17th 2005 07:02

Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Embedded Systems

About: PTXdist is a build system ("executable documentation") for
compiling root filesystems for embedded systems. PTXdist is based on a
KConfig configuration system in combination with a set of rules which
describe how all the source packages out there have to be tweaked to be
compiled into a proper root filesystem. Once a configuration has been
developed, reproducing it is as easy as "make world". 

Changes: This release adds ipkg packaging support to PTXdist, so it is now
possible to build embedded systems which can be updated with the ipkg tool.
Toolchains are now being built with crosstool-0.32, with an additional
patch for building uClibc based toolchains. For people living behind a
firewall, PTXdist now offers proxy support via "make setup". This release
contains various bugfixes and package updates.
