[014] - CGIProxy 2.1beta6 
  by James Marshall (http://freshmeat.net/users/jamesmarshall/)
  Tue, May 24th 2005 11:33

Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers

About: CGIProxy is a Perl CGI script that acts as an Internet proxy.
Through it, you can retrieve resources that may be inaccessible from your
own machine. The user is kept as anonymous as possible from any servers.
HTTP and FTP are supported, and optionally SSL. Common uses include
VPN-like setups, anonymous proxies, personal proxies, and others. Options
include text-only browsing (to save bandwidth), selective cookie and
script removal, simple ad filtering, access restriction by server, encoded
target URLs and cookies, configuration by end user, and much more
(currently about 50 config options). An online demo is available.

Changes: This is the long-awaited version that supports JavaScript, i.e.
all JavaScript that passes through this program is rewritten so that all
subsequent network accesses also pass through this program, so the browser
never makes a direct connection with the destination server. A few bugs
have been fixed.

Communications :: Fax
Printing

About: DrygerFax is a HylaFAX client for Windows which communicates
through a special server running on Linux. It employs Samba and CUPS on
the server to present a full-fleged network printer. Once a print job has
been submitted, the server calls back to the client to ask for the fax
information. Unlike some clients, this one does not need custom printer
driver software to print, since the printer is presented as a generic
Postscript printer. Unlike other clients, this one "phones home" to the
user to get information needed to fax.

[022] - EMAN 1.7 
  by Steve Ludtke (http://freshmeat.net/users/sludtke42/)
  Tue, May 24th 2005 08:31

Multimedia :: Graphics
Scientific/Engineering

About: EMAN is a scientific image processing suite with full Python
bindings. While it is mainly designed to perform single-particle
reconstructions of individual molecules, it may also have uses for many
other imaging methods. Single particle reconstruction is a method where
projection images of individual molecules in random orientations are
processed to produce a 3D structure of the molecule in question. The
library can process 1-3 dimensional data in a variety of formats,
including a variety of Fourier and real-space filters and many more
esoteric image processing routines. 

Changes: A major overhaul of the parallelism infrastructure (runpar) was
done. It now uses fileserver for both reads and writes in the cluster
versions. A binary release was made for AMD64, and support for OSX was
improved. A new program, refine2d.py, was added for generating
reference-free class-averages from a set of particles. A new program,
makeinitialmodel.py, was added for constructing 3D models from blobs. The
AIRS software was greatly expanded and improved with Chimera bindings.
Major improvements were done to the experimental 2D crystallography
preprocessing program (qindex).

Changes: Bliss was upgraded to version 0.1.1. Work has started on
utilizing all 4 CPU-modes (and stacks). The terminal driver was improved,
and can now read more than one char at a time from stdin. The
infrastructure to handle control characters was also added. A bug in which
terminal output was missing CR was fixed. A problem with a telnet (CMUIP)
session getting double output was fixed. Telnet (CMUIP) session input also
gets written at the console. Some more telnet modules are compiled by
Bliss. Only executive mode is used with some test code.

[038] - Luban programming language Beta 1.3 
  by peterx (http://freshmeat.net/users/peterx/)
  Tue, May 24th 2005 07:21



About: Luban is a component oriented scripting language. It was created to
be easier than Java and to feature namespaces and interfaces. It has a
simple and clean syntax and a property-based component model similar to
Java beans. A component can be a process or a composition. All data types
and components are saved in a namespace hierarchy. Thread dispatching and
synchronization are built in. It also features component interface
inheritance, dynamic type checking, reflection, serialization, remote
component calls, exception free error handling, and an API to import data
new types from C++. 

Changes: A bug that always returned the default instance for wrong
constructor parameters was fixed. The error type is now returned
correctly. The allfuncs() member function was fixed for all data types.
The function returned a result containing some internal data type object,
and now it only contains an object of type string. A memory bugfix and
minor internal performance improvements were made.

Communications
Information Management
Information Management :: Records Management

About: Magellan Metasearch is a modular meta search engine, enabling users
to monitor as many search engines as they want and use a complex query
language with full boolean syntax and proximity operators, which is much
more elaborate than languages provided by Google, Altavista, etc. It can
be fed any sources, since its abstraction layer manages the search results
and their meta tags in a uniform way. In conjunction with the local process
scheduler (such as "cron"), Magellan enables you to save your requests and
replay them later automatically: new results are sent through email in
real time. 

Changes: Many exciting new features have been added, including multi-proxy
support, several new search engine drivers, a major UI upgrade,
post-crawling analysis filters, and automated upgrade from previous
versions. There is new user and developer documentation. The internal API
is now much easier to re-use to develop custom drivers.

About: MIB Smithy is an application for SNMP and COPS developers, MIB and
PIB designers, and Internet-draft authors. It provides a GUI-based
environment for designing, editing, and compiling MIB and PIB modules
according to the SMIv1, SMIv2, and COPS-PR-SPPI standards. It accelerates

concerns of editing the modules by hand. It includes a number of built-in
basic SNMP management tools, XML support, and (with MIB Smithy
Professional) support for custom compiler output formats.

Changes: Major usability bugs on the Mac OS X platform, such as 
misbehaved scrollbars, tree control redrawing, and focus issues  (mainly
stemming from Tk bugs) were fixed or worked around.  Usability and
appearance improvements were made such as all  new anti-aliased graphics,
more unique icons for SNMP tools,  file associations, and confirmation
before quitting or opening a  new project when there are unsaved changes.

Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Embedded Systems
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks

About: The Open RObot COntrol Software (Orocos)  framework applies
software patterns in C++ to  achieve real-time execution of software 
components and provides an infrastructure to  quickly integrate them in a
real-time operating  system such as RTAI or RTLinux, although it  can be
tested on normal Linux systems. It is  designed to appeal to roboticists.
See the Orocos project homepage for an automated download script.

Changes: This major feature release focused on refactoring of the API,
validation and improvement of the realtime scripting language, and
improvement of the overall realtime performance. The documentation has
been reordered to separate the "Realtime Control Services" from the "Robot
Control Software". Usability classes have been added to reduce the "red
tape" code required to setup an Orocos application. This is demonstrated
by a new demo application ("taskintro") which is fully interactive and is
hardware independent.

An option to display local weather stats has been added. Time is now stored
in the database as a Unix timestamp instead of a MySQL timestamp. For those
who will be upgrading, an upgrade script has been provided in the
administration section of the app to convert these timestamps and to make
other minor changes to the database.

Internet :: Log Analysis
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration

About: pmacct is a small set of IPv4/IPv6 accounting and aggregation
tools. Aggregation of IP traffic revolves  around the concept of
primitives (VLAN id, source and  destination MAC addresses, IP addresses,
networks, AS  numbers, ports, ToS field, and IP protocol are supported) 
that may be employed alone or arbitrarily combined with  others to form
complex aggregation methods. It supports custom historical breakdown,
packet sampling, filtering  and tagging, recovery actions, and triggers.
Both libpcap  (and promiscuous mode if required) and NetFlow 
v1/v5/v7/v8/v9 are supported.

Changes: MySQL multi-value INSERT clauses have been introduced, and they
have proven to be much faster than classic INSERTs. Dynamic SQL tables
have been introduced; the following variables are supported: %d (the day
of the month), %H (hours), %m (month), %M (minutes), %w (the day of the
week), %W (week number), and %Y (the current year). The "sql_table_schema"
directive has been added to allow the automatic creation of dynamic tables.
The --disable-l2 configure option has been added to compiled pmacct without
support for Layer-2 stuff.

[053] - Qsynth 0.2.3 
  by Rui Nuno Capela (http://freshmeat.net/users/rncbc/)
  Tue, May 24th 2005 05:42

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Sound Synthesis

About: Qsynth is a GUI front-end application for Fluidsynth. Fluidsynth is
a command-line software synthesizer based on the Soundfont specification.
QSynth was built with the Qt3 toolkit using Qt Designer. Eventually it may
evolve into a softsynth management application that allows the user to
control and manage a variety of command line softsynths, but it currently
just wraps the excellent Fluidsynth program.  

Changes: A new system-tray icon and contextual menu were added. Setup
options for alternate MIDI and Audio devices were introduced. The output
level meters were made smoother and now have a slightly better layout.
Other fixes were also made.

  Tue, May 24th 2005 07:29

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers

About: Ravenous is full-featured Web server written in Java. It allows you
to write dynamic pages in Java without the need to read stacks of books
before you get started. 

Changes: This release includes a new framework that gives developers a
convenient way to send email in much the same way as is possible in PHP.
Mail can be send either immediately or can be stored to be sent at a
future date. Mail messages are stored in a separate spool folder for each
virtual host, making it very easy to clean up after a programming error.
Furthermore, it is possible to set up a separate SMTP log for each virtual
host, providing Web developers with the ability to debug mail problems for
their Web site, without the need to involve the local system
administrator.

[061] - Sendmail filter for SpamAssassin 1.0.0 
  by Eugene Kurmanin (http://freshmeat.net/users/smfs/)
  Tue, May 24th 2005 00:03



About: smf-spamd is a Sendmail filter for SpamAssassin. It aims to be
lightweight, reliable, and simple rather than have a myriad of options. It
only scans the messages less than defined size, has a hosts/networks
whitelist, performs subject tagging if SPAM is detected, adds an
information header, copies SPAM messages to the defined "garbage" mailbox,
rejects SPAM messages at the SMTP DATA stage, and logs all filter
activities to syslog. The code is small (does not exceed 580 lines), fast,
stable, and few resources are required. No temporary files are created.

About: Yersinia implements several attacks for the following protocols:
Spanning Tree (STP), Cisco Discovery (CDP), Dynamic Host Configuration
(DHCP), Hot Standby Router (HSRP), Dynamic Trunking (DTP), 802.1q and VLAN
Trunking (VTP). It helps the pen-tester in different tasks, such as

Documentation
Software Development :: Documentation
Text Processing :: General

About: Zoem is a macro/programming language. It can be  used as an
all-round macro language, but has more  specialized uses as well. One such
specific use is its  support for creating small mark-up languages that map 
to different devices. It has character filtering  capabilities tailored to
this application. Two such  languages come packaged with zoem; one for
creating  manual pages that can be output either in troff or in  HTML, the
other for creating FAQs again in either troff  or HTML output. It supports
arithmetic evaluation,  regular expressions, multidimensional data
storage,  iteration, comprehensive IO, control operators,  dictionary
stacks, system commands, and more. 

Changes: The \begin{label} .. \end{label} environment now allows easier
definition of default settings, easier overriding of default settings, and
the declaration of keys taking arguments. This provides a simple and useful
extension mechanism for customizing environments by wrapping them, well
integrated with the environment dictionary stack framework. The \writeto
macro which resets the default output stream now considers the presence of
a path separator in the file name a risk, and obeys the --unsafe and
--unsafe-silent options.
