[001] - ArsDigita Community System 4.6
by Richard Li (http://freshmeat.net/users/richardl/)
Wednesday, August 1st 2001 17:34
Categories: Database, Internet :: WWW/HTTP, Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Message Boards, Software
Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: The ACS (ArsDigita Community System) is a sophisticated, scalable
platform for Web development, with support for content management,
commerce, workflow, messaging, session management, permissions, bulletin
boards, and many other applications.
Changes: This release is based on the J2EE platform, and includes robust,

[002] - atool 0.10.0
by Oskar Liljeblad (http://freshmeat.net/users/osk/)
Wednesday, August 1st 2001 05:24
About: atool is a script for managing file archives of various types (tar,
tar+gzip, zip, etc). The main command is probably 'aunpack' which extracts
files from an archive. It overcomes the dreaded "multiple files in archive
root" problem by first extracting to a unique subdirectory, and then moving
back the files if possible. aunpack also prevents local files from being
overwritten by mistake. Other commands provided are apack (for creating
archives), als (for listing files in archives), and acat (for extracting
files to stdout).
Changes: New option -e, --each to extract or list multiple archives in one
command. Fixed a bug causing gzip, bzip, bzip2, and compressed files not to
be identified correctly. Added sections `Examples' and `Known Bugs' to the
manual page.

of a lobby or desk of a switchboard operator, to keep track of who's in the
building, when they'll be back, etc. It's accessable from the Web, so
people can mark themselves in or out from their own desk.
Changes: New group switch at the top of the main page, a small pop-up
window for quick switching (it can sit on your desktop and allow you to
switch in or out without having to load the whole board), and improvements
to the condensed version (but you have to edit it to put paths in
correctly).

[020] - FEZ-Probester 1.0.2
by Eric Boyd (http://freshmeat.net/users/EricLBoyd/)
Wednesday, August 1st 2001 17:38
Categories: Internet :: WWW/HTTP, Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers,
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Page Counters, Internet ::
WWW/HTTP :: Site Management, System :: Networking
About: FEZ-Probester is a JavaScript-based Website performance measurement
system, reporting on Website performence as experienced by actual end
users during real visits to the measured site. Unlike most commercially
available performance measurement systems, FEZ-Probester measures the
total time to download and render a Web page, accounting for last mile
connectivity, and performs such measurements from as many different
machines as a site has unique visitors. Plus, it's free.
Changes: data_file config parsing has been moved from fez_probester_ae.c to
fez_probester_de.cgi.c. This eliminated the need for any config file
parsing in fez_probester_ae.c. An error HTML page that is displayed when a
critical error occurs has been added, as well as error checking on user
arguments and return values from procedures. Warning messaging has been
added to the resulting HTML graph when non-critical errors occur. Graph
granularity has been increased by adding additional buckets per time.

[021] - FEZhead 1.0.2
by Eric Boyd (http://freshmeat.net/users/EricLBoyd/)
Wednesday, August 1st 2001 17:42
Categories: Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers, Internet :: WWW/HTTP ::
Site Management, System :: Networking
About: FEZhead is a global load balancer, working at both the DNS level,
and (optionally) at the HTTP level to select the best content server of a
set of content servers, to answer a particular HTTP request. It can be
used to set up a network of caches, to mirror an origin server, or to
maximize the usage of multiple pipes for a multi-homed Web server. Each
of these solutions makes a Website more reliable, and faster.
Changes: libfhhr.a is now beta quality, and suitable for wrapping in an
Apache module, a Tux module, or a Squid plug-in. Problems with
test_fezhead_redirector have been fixed. Bind IP address has been added to
the configuration file of fezhead_redirector. The need to define DNS port
in the config file has been fixed. The version number is now a single
#define. A problem with the -w flag expecting a trailing slash in the
argument has been fixed. fezhead_newscan.[ch] has been renamed to
fezhead_ping.[ch].

[030] - Gnome-GCJ 0.15.0
by Oskar Liljeblad (http://freshmeat.net/users/osk/)
Wednesday, August 1st 2001 12:42
Categories: Desktop Environment :: Gnome, Software Development ::
Libraries
About: Gnome-GCJ is a set of GTK+ and GNOME bindings for Java. It compiles
with the GCJ compiler (part of egcs) and uses the GCJ runtime library
libgcj. GCJ is capable of compiling Java source code to native machine
code, which makes Java code almost as fast as C++ code. As the interface
between Java and GTK+, CNI (Cygnus Native Interface) and C++ will be used
instead of the more traditional JNI and C. This means that support for
other Java runtimes has been sacrificed in favour of GCJ and its faster
CNI.
Changes: This is a maintenance release to make it possible to compile
Gnome-GCJ with GCC 3.0.

[043] - MOSIX 1.1.2 for Linux 2.4.7 (Linux 2.4.*)
by AB (http://freshmeat.net/users/amnon/)
Wednesday, August 1st 2001 17:30
Category: System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: MOSIX is a software package to enhance the Linux kernel with cluster
computing capabilities. It allows an arbitrarily-sized cluster of PCs to
work cooperatively as if part of a single system. To run in a MOSIX cluster
there is no need to modify applications, to link applications with any
library, or even to assign processes to different nodes. MOSIX does its job
automatically and transparently. The core of MOSIX are adaptive resource
management algorithms that monitor and respond to uneven work distribution
among the nodes. These algorithms use preemptive process migration to
assign and reassign processes among the nodes, to continuously take
advantage of the best available cluster resources. The MOSIX algorithms are
geared for maximal performance, overhead-free scalability, and ease of use.
Changes: This release contains several MFS bug fixes (0 block size and
MFS-server oops). Bugs with "OOB'' and "overload'' when MOSIX is not active
have been fixed. Details about /proc/{pid}/cantmove have been added to the
MOSIX(7) manual page.

Wednesday, August 1st 2001 12:59
Category: System :: Archiving :: Backup
About: multiCD provides an easy way to backup a large number of files to
multiple CDs. Give multiCD the files/directories you want backed up and it
will create as many CDs as it needs to, prompting the user to put in a new
disc whenever needed. It can be configured to run in a multi-threading
mode, where it will burn one image to a disc while it is copying files to
another image. This feature can be disabled for slower machines.
Changes: The permissions on newly created image files were being set using
the default as specified by the current umask. This had the possibility of
creating world-readable image files. This security issue was fixed.

[052] - Perl Site Tools 0.74
by Steve Slaven (http://freshmeat.net/users/bpk/)
Wednesday, August 1st 2001 16:28
Categories: Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries,
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The site tools package has classes to support a standard look and
feel through templates that support somewhat advanced functionality like
object method binding, custom escape/formatting functions, and basic
looping and conditionals. It also supports SQL forms with foreign key
handling with drop boxes or lists, and multiple field types like
checkboxes, text boxes, and text areas. Add/delete/edit functionality is
handled by the Form class. Tables can be created in the same way, and
support auto-sorting by using hyperlinked headers, and next/prev handling.
Both forms and tables can be bound to templates to adjust the look and
feel or layout, without losing any functionality.
Changes: Many feature enhancements were made. Lots more configuration
options were added to the SQLTable. The SQLTable also knows about asc/desc
sorting and allows both for any bound column name. SQLForm has been cleaned
up and some utility functions were added. A new class, CrashNotify, was
added to allow an easy and quick way to hook the die signal to send an
email to you when a script crashes. The notification email includes all the
options passed from the browser, the environment, and the actual error
message. Some docmentation has been updated.

[060] - PhysicsFS 0.1.0
by icculus (http://freshmeat.net/users/icculus/)
Wednesday, August 1st 2001 11:10
Categories: Software Development :: Libraries, System :: Filesystems
About: PhysicsFS is a library to provide abstract access to various
archives. The programmer defines a "write directory" on the physical
filesystem. No file writing done through the PhysicsFS API can leave that
write directory, for security. For file reading, the programmer lists
directories and archives that form a "search path". Once the search path
is defined, it becomes a single, transparent, hierarchical filesystem.
This makes for easy access to ZIP files in the same way as you access a
file directly on the disk, and it makes it easy to ship a new archive
that will override a previous archive on a per-file basis. Symbolic links
can be disabled, for added safety. Finally, PhysicsFS gives you a
platform- abstracted means to determine if CD-ROMs are available, the
user's home directory, where in the real filesystem your program is
running, etc.

[062] - popaccess 1.1
by RUok (http://freshmeat.net/users/ruok/)
Wednesday, August 1st 2001 03:40
Categories: Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents,
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: POP3
About: popaccess, based on POPauthd, can be used to allow non-local users
access to relay through your mail server in a secure way. It works by
watching for a POP3 login on the local server, and writing a line in the
sendmail access database to allow the IP the user connected to the POP3
service from as a RELAY.
Changes: Fixed bug that might keep expired IPs from being removed from
access file, and fixed up an IMAP pop3 regular expression.

[064] - Postfix 20010228-pl4 (Stable)
by Patrick Lenz (http://freshmeat.net/users/scoop/)
Wednesday, August 1st 2001 06:56
About: Postfix is an attempt to provide an alternative to the widely-used
Sendmail program. Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and
hopefully secure, while at the same time being sendmail compatible enough
to not upset your users.
Changes: Updated LDAP client module, new LDAP query filter patterns: %u
(address localpart) and %d (domain part), recursive
smtpd_whatever_restrictions clobbered intermediate results when switching
between sender and recipient address restrictions, the not yet announced
DUNNO access table lookup result did not prevent lookups with substrings of
the same lookup key, trim trailing whitespace from regexp and pcre
right-hand sides, eliminated duplicate IP addresses after expansion of
hostnames in $inet_interfaces, so that Postfix does not suddenly refuse to
start up after someone changes the DNS.
