written and integrated into both offficial and unofficial mirrors. This
provides much better sorting and more a accurate choice of the fastest
mirror. The getpkg-installer file was removed. If upgrading from an older
version, you should remove ~/.getpkg/mirrors and
~/.getpkg/unofficial_mirrors before running the program to resort mirrors.

Games/Entertainment
Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Rendering
About: Graphics3D is a free, Open Source C++ library for game developers,
researchers, and students. It is a base of robust and high performance
code common to most 3D projects. It is not a standalone graphics or game
engine--it is the set of pieces you need to jumpstart your own engine or
graphics project. The library has two parts: G3D for pure math, and GLG3D
for interacting with hardware acceleration via OpenGL. You can use G3D
without GLG3D if you want to use another 3D API (like DirectX) or don't
like the OpenGL abstraction.
Changes: The primary goal of this release is improved performance. Binary
file access, lighting, and GLSL have all been optimized. Anisotropic
textures are now enabled by default, and RenderDevice provides state
change counters for profiling.

Thu, May 26th 2005 05:33
Text Processing
About: lesspipe.sh is an input filter for the pager less as described in
less's man page. The script runs under a ksh-compatible shell (ksh, bash,
zsh) and allows you to use less to view files with binary content,
compressed files, archives, and files contained in archives. Viewing files
by accessing a device file is implemented to some extent (DOS filesystems
and tar files). It supports many formats (both as plain and compressed
files using compress, gzip, bzip2, or zip). Syntax highlighting for many
languages is available through a helper script, "code2color".
Changes: A manpage has been added for lesspipe.sh. A few minor bugs have
been fixed, including handling of file names containing spaces and a typo
in the Makefile. Tests are now compliant with more shells.

Multimedia :: Video
Multimedia :: Video :: Conversion
Multimedia :: Video :: Display
About: Libquicktime is based on the great quicktime4linux library with
several enhancements. All 3rd-party libraries were removed from the
sourcetree. Instead, the systemwide installed libraries are detected by
the configure script. All original codecs were moved into dynamically
loadable modules, and new codecs are in development. Libquicktime is
source-compatible with quicktime4linux (i.e., all quicktime4linux apps can
be linked with libquicktime). Special API extensions allow access to the
codec registry and more convenient processing of Audio and Video data.
Libquicktime comes with all original utility programs, and additional
tools, like a commandline player and a GTK configuration utility which can
configure the parameters of all installed codecs. The configuration is
stored in the home directory and is be used by all libquicktime
applications.

[031] - Midgard Components Framework 2.3.3 (Development)
by Torben Nehmer (http://freshmeat.net/users/tnehmer/)
Thu, May 26th 2005 06:42
Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: The Midgard Components Framework (also called MidCOM) is an
advanced component architecture which extends the Midgard Web content
management framework. It provides mechanisms for building a Web site using
components without much need for writing code to glue all this together.
The administration site gets built automatically by using those
components. Goodies like a caching engine and subrequests make site
building even easier.
Changes: This is the first official release candidate for the upcoming
2.4.0 release. The NAP cache has been optimized to reduce the number of IO
operations, and NAP leaves are now loaded on demand. A sitewide
configuration file has been added, along with autoconfiguration and
configuration-testing scripts. A proof-of-concept implementation of the
TinyMCE Editor as a Datamanager Widget has been added.

GCC/GCJ, working around a GCJ runtime library bug causing erratic hangs.
Bad file format for a few config files has been fixed. An "sfidirector
passwd" command has been added. Memory consumption has been reduced.
Please also upgrade to BigClerk 0.07 or higher, since this will
dramatically reduce memory consumption (and possible crashes due to memory
overload) of the frontend interface.

via SNMP in order to measure the performance of the network; and a system
for event management and notifications.
Changes: This release contains some new reports and events, some small
bugfixes, and a new GUI for scheduling outages. It should be an easy
upgrade over 1.2.2.

sleep, or ejects the CDROM on command. It also provides basic power
management features. An included client gives the user visual feedback
about all actions with nice little popup windows.
Changes: This release fixes the problem that under certain circumstances
caused 100% CPU load. The power key of recent aluminum Powerbooks is now
supported, and the ASLA mixer module has improved error management. The
evdev module is no longer loaded automatically. The system must be set up
properly before using pbbuttonsd.

[039] - Ping Tunnel 0.61
by Daniel Stodle (http://freshmeat.net/users/stoedle/)
Thu, May 26th 2005 09:03
Internet :: Proxy Servers
System :: Networking
About: Ping Tunnel is a tool for reliably tunneling TCP connections over
ICMP echo request and reply packets (commonly known as ping requests and
replies). It is useful for evading firewalls that, for whatever reason,
prevent outgoing TCP connections, but allow in- and outgoing ICMP packets.
The tunnel works by having a proxy run on a machine ping-able from the
inside of the firewall, with the client running on the local machine from
which TCP access is required.
Changes: This version fixes a potential crashing bug when using
authentication, which could affect both proxy and client. Ping Tunnel now
opens the log file in append-mode instead of truncating it if it already
exists.

Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: POP3
Internet
Security
About: popa3d is a POP3 daemon which attempts to be extremely secure,
reliable, RFC compliant, and fast (in that order).
Changes: The source code has been corrected to not break C strict aliasing
rules (this only affected auth_pam.c) and to insist on only one PAM message
per call to the conversation function with Sun PAM (Solaris and HP-UX)
because of differences in the parameter layout. The default limits have
been bumped to values that are way too high for most systems, and comments
suggesting that these defaults be decreased on particular installs have
been added.

Security
System :: Monitoring
About: Prelude-Manager is a high-availability server which collects and
normalizes information from distributed Prelude-IDS sensors and stores
them in a database (or any kind of user-provided media). It also provide
the ability to relay received events to one or several other
prelude-manager servers and allows users to filter received events so they
can provide specific actions for specific events. Support for filtering
plugins allows users to hook into different places in the Manager to
define custom criteria for alert relaying and logging.
Changes: This release fixes a leak in the local configuration message. It
defaults to listening on localhost instead of a Unix domain socket. A
compilation problem on systems lacking a PRIu64 definition has been fixed.

Thu, May 26th 2005 09:09
Database
Software Development :: Libraries
About: psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming
language. Its main advantages are that it supports the full Python DBAPI
2.0 and it is thread safe at level 2. It was designed for heavily
multi-threaded applications that create and destroy lots of cursors and
make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs or UPDATEs. The psycopg
distribution includes ZPsycopgDA, a Zope Database Adapter.
Changes: This release once again builds on Python 2.2, and ZPsycopgDA now
works in Zope as expected. All other known minor bugs have been fixed.

that generates lists of audio files based on their location in a directory
tree. It supports all features of OIDUA, and makes it easy to create
fields, add directories, choose colors, and set options. Users can even
save list configuration files so that they can easily recreate any
previously created list.
Changes: The main window now remembers its size when closed and restores
it next time it's opened. Message box alerts displayed from the settings
window now look the way they should in OS X. New OIDUA options are now
supported. The program now checks to ensure that the specified OIDUA
executable is actually OIDUA, checks its version number, and
enables/disables options accordingly.

Communications
Multimedia
About: Solipsis is a pure peer-to-peer system for a massively shared
virtual world. There is no server at all: it only relies on end- users'
machines. It is a public virtual territory. The world is initially empty
and only users will fill it by creating and running entities. The system
architecture clearly separates the different tasks, so that peer-to-peer
hackers as well as multimedia geeks can find a good place to have fun.
Changes: A more user-friendly Connection dialog. Additional translations
(Slovenian, Japanese, and German). The project's own URL scheme, which is
registered when launching the navigator. If you click on a URL like
"slp://123.45.67.89:4550/", your navigator will jump near the peer who's
listening on the said address and port.

System :: Logging
About: syslog-ng, as the name shows, is a syslogd replacement, but with
new functionality for the new generation. The original syslogd allows
messages only to be sorted based on priority/facility pairs; syslog-ng
adds the possibility to filter based on message contents using regular
expressions. The new configuration scheme is intuitive and powerful.
Forwarding logs over TCP and remembering all forwarding hops makes it
ideal for firewalled environments.
