[001] - aMule 2.0.1
by Kry (http://freshmeat.net/users/ElKry/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 03:27
Communications :: File Sharing
About: aMule is short for "all-platform eMule-like file-sharing program",
or, in short, "all-platform Mule". It's a port of the well-known eMule P2P
client for the eDonkey2000 file sharing network, supporting most of eMule
features. Additionally, it provides a small separate Web server and
command line interface to connect to a running aMule via the network. Like
its predecessors lMule and xMule, it uses wxWidgets and runs on Linux, BSD,
Solaris, Windows, and Mac OS. It also supports multiple architectures.
Changes: This release fixes among other things, a 100% CPU usage problem
because of some misconfigured ed2k servers.

[002] - Andy's PHP Knowledgebase 0.41
by KeyMonkey (http://freshmeat.net/users/keymonkey/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 21:18
About: Andy's PHP Knowledgebase is a database-driven knowledge base
management system. It features bookmark friendly URLs, easy search with
browsing by category, article submission, and a professional and
attractive interface. It is intended to be used to store, manage, and
update article content for a knowledge base, but is very customizable and
enables any number of creative uses.
Changes: The release includes a correction to the Users table and
improvements for suggesting categories.

[003] - arpwatch NG DROP8
by Freek (http://freshmeat.net/users/thefreek/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 08:32
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: The arpwatch NG package contains arpwatch and arpsnmp. Both
utilities monitor Ethernet or FDDI network traffic and build databases of
Ethernet/IP address pairs, and can report certain changes. It is based
upon the original, but old, arpwatch package.
Changes: A new configure option was added so MAC adresses are always
printed padded with a leading zero.

[004] - balance 3.22
by Thomas Obermair (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomasobermair/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 08:23
System :: Networking
About: Balance is a simple but powerful generic TCP proxy with round-robin
load balancing and failover mechanisms. Its behaviour can be controlled at
runtime using a simple command line syntax.
Changes: The writelock and channelcount patches were added. The balance
exit codes were fixed. An attempt is made to automatically create
/var/run/balance if it is not already present.

[005] - barcat 1.2
by Henrik (http://freshmeat.net/users/theiling/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 08:36
Software Development
System :: Installation/Setup
Utilities
About: barcat is just like "cat", but displays an ASCII progress bar. Its
goal is to work on any Unix-like platform and to be directly usable in
installation scripts without needing compilation, so it is a pure shell
script.
Changes: A lot of bugfixes and robustness changes have been done. The
script was tested on quite a few OSes and in many shells. It is now
considered to be stable. Minor features were included: the main shell
function can be dumped to stdout now, and there is a configurable prefix
to the file names additional to the suffix.

[006] - BashDiff 1.16
by William Park (http://freshmeat.net/users/opengeometry/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 21:20
Database :: Front-Ends
System :: Shells
About: Bash.Diff is a patch against Bash that incorporates many useful
features from Awk, Python, Zsh, Ksh, and others. In the main core, it adds
the following: new brace expansion {a..b}, new parameter expansion
${var|...}, new command substitution $(=...), extended for, while, and
until loops, extended case statement, new try-block with integer
exception, and new here document <<+. As builtin commands, it adds the
following: sscanf(3), <string.h>, and <ctype.h> wrappers, a variety of
array and regex(3) operations, GDBM, SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL
database interfaces, an HTML template engine (BASP), stack/queue
operations on positional parameters and arrays, Expat XML parser
interface, simple x-y character plot, DOS line support, and simple Awk
emulation.
Changes: This release added a ${var|[i]} variation in ${var|[a:b]} and
fixed an "off by one" error for positional parameters which start at 1.
${var|.dirname} and ${var|.basename} were added to hook into dirname(3)
and basename(3). The internal code for ${var|.method} was cleaned up.
'pp_uniq' and 'pp_collapse' loadable built-ins were added. Redundant
options in the 'array' built-in were removed.

[008] - BitVault 1.0
by skibrian (http://freshmeat.net/users/skibrian/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 06:06
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: BitVault allows you to set up your own private P2P network that
automatically encrypts and backs up files to other computers in your
network. It also allows access to files from any remote online computer
with the program installed and configured for your private network. Very
basic network and server administration skills are recommended, although
the installer configures a basic system.
Changes: This updates LeanBackup to a fully private P2P backup and remote
access network. The memory footprint is smaller. The GUI is easier to
understand. The program is easier to install and easier to use.

[009] - Bonita 1.6
by Valdes (http://freshmeat.net/users/mvaldes/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 08:25
Desktop Environment :: Theme :: Web
Information Management :: Workflow Frameworks
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
About: Bonita is a flexible cooperative workflow system based on the
workflow model proposed by the ECOO Team, which incorporates the
anticipation of activities as a more flexible mechanism of workflow
execution. This flexibility allows a considerable speed increase in the
design and development phases of cooperative applications. The workflow
engine is built on EJB (Enterprise Java Beans). The system offers a
comprehensive set of integrated graphical tools for performing the process
conception and definition, the instantiation and control of this process,
and the interaction with the users and other applications.
Changes: This release focuses on performance improvements and memory usage
enhancements. New features are also included to solve some engine
constraints imposed in the past: subProcess automatic execution or support
for first automatic activities. The documentation was improved. A lot of
bugs were fixed. Many other things were changed.

[010] - BuildBot 0.6.5
by Brian Warner (http://freshmeat.net/users/brianwarner/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 04:06
Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
About: The BuildBot is a system to automate the compile/test cycle
required by most software projects to validate code changes. It builds
and tests the tree each time a change is committed, providing status
updates through a Web page or other protocols.
Changes: Logfile processing was improved to efficiently handle very large
(>100MB) logfiles, drastically reducing memory requirements of the
buildmaster. mktap was abandoned in favor of ".tac" files, simplifying
installation and startup. All documentation was converted into texinfo
format, and the User's Manual has been greatly expanded.

[011] - C->Haskell 0.13.6
by Chilli (http://freshmeat.net/users/ChilliX/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 08:54
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: C->Haskell is an interface generator that simplifies the
development of Haskell bindings to C libraries. The tool processes
existing C header files that determine data layout and function signatures
on the C side in conjunction with Haskell modules that specify Haskell-side
type signatures and marshaling details. Hooks embedded in the Haskell code
signal access to C structures and functions; they are expanded by the
interfacing tool in dependence on information from the corresponding C
header file.
Changes: Support for GHC 6.4 (with the Cabal package system) was added.

[019] - DB Solo 1.0.4
by DB Solo (http://freshmeat.net/users/mhantula/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 07:33
Database :: Front-Ends
System :: Systems Administration
About: DB Solo is a powerful database development and management tool for
developers and DBAs. It has an intuitive user interface that allows you to
explore and manage your database objects as well as execute ad-hoc queries.
It supports Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, DB2, Solid, and MS SQL Server. In

You can also graphically view foreign key relationships.
Changes: A CREATE TABLE Script Generator was added, which allows you to
produce CREATE TABLE statements based on your existing tables. This allows
you take tables in one schema, generate the scripts, and then create the
same tables in a different schema. Alternatively, you could use the
resulting scripts for documentation purposes or check them into your
source control system. You can select one or more tables from your table
list and the script generator will output CREATE TABLE scripts for the
selected tables, their constraints, and indexes. Currently, CREATE TABLE
script generator is available for Oracle.

Wed, May 18th 2005 11:40
Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Communications :: Email :: Filters
About: getmail is intended as a simple, secure, and reliable replacement
for fetchmail. It retrieves email (either all messages, or only unread
messages) from one or more POP3, SPDS, or IMAP4 servers (with or without
SSL) for one or more email accounts, and reliably delivers into
qmail-style Maildirs, mboxrd files, or through external MDAs (command
deliveries) specified on a per-account basis. getmail also has excellent
support for domain (multidrop) mailboxes, including delivering messages to
different users or destinations based on the envelope recipient address.
Changes: For multidrop retrievers, the way the envelope recipient header
field is parsed has been changed to prevent odd values from being
interpreted as multiple addresses when they look like an 822-style address
group. This release tries to avoid parsing message bodies in case they're
corrupt or invalid.

[025] - GNU ddrescue 1.0-pre3 (Development)
by Antonio Diaz Diaz (http://freshmeat.net/users/ant_diaz/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 08:28
System :: Recovery Tools
About: GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file
or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue
data in case of read errors. GNU ddrescue does not truncate the output
file if not asked to. So, every time you run it on the same output file,
it tries to fill in the gaps. The basic operation of GNU ddrescue is fully
automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the program,
read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the logfile feature
of GNU ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently (only the needed
blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume
it later at the same point.
Changes: A race condition has been fixed. This bug could result in data
not written to the output file but annotated in the logfile if the
computer crashes at the wrong moment.

Wed, May 18th 2005 12:03
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Image Recognition
About: openEyes is an open-source open-hardware toolkit for low-cost
real-time eye tracking. The purpose is to provide a hardware design and a
set of software tools useful for the analysis of eye movement data.
Development stems from the recognition in the eye tracking and human
computer interaction communities that while the cost of hardware for eye
tracking has precipitously dropped in the recent past, there is lack of
freely available software to implement even long-established eye-tracking
methods. The tools available for this platform include algorithms to
measure eye movements from digital videos, techniques to calibrate the eye
tracking system, and example software to facilitate real-time eye-tracking
application development.
Changes: The real-time eye tracker was updated for increased frame rates
and now provides data logging functionality.

by Kyle (http://freshmeat.net/users/kyles/)
Wed, May 18th 2005 03:38
System :: Archiving :: Compression
Utilities
About: sdelta analyzes two files and outputs the difference. It applies
the difference or delta file to the first of the original files to
construct a bit for bit clone of the second file. It is optimized for use
with source tarballs, and also contains sdreq, the client for the sdelta
Public Patch Repository. The PPR can generate on demand source upgrade and
downgrade patches for over 250,000 version specific source tarballs. By
using sdreq you can acquire new source tarballs from the PPR several times
faster and with only 15% of the downloading that you currently do.
Changes: This version of the client downloads patches from the new FTP
location because berlios.de reconfigured their Web server to deny access
to files with extensions .gz and .bz2.
