[001] - Alternate Password Library 1.1.1
by Steve Slaven (http://freshmeat.net/users/bpk/)
Friday, August 10th 2001 10:33
About: The library can be used by developers to quickly add alternate
passwd file support for virtual authentication, or by system administrators
to trick programs into seeing a different password file, either at run time
through the LD_PRELOAD variable, or at compile time with -laltpw during the
linking process.
Changes: Missing distribution documentation was added, as well as new
documenation about using passwd.switch and autoconf style programs.

[003] - BitTorrent 2.0.2 (Stable)
by Bram Cohen (http://freshmeat.net/users/bramcohen/)
Friday, August 10th 2001 01:02
About: BitTorrent is a tool for copying files from one machine to another.
FTP punishes sites for being popular. Since all uploading is done from one
place, a popular site needs big iron and big bandwidth. With BitTorrent,
clients automatically mirror files they download, making the publisher's
burden almost nothing.
Changes: The UI has been rewritten to be very simple and easier to use.

[023] - Java Serialization to XML 0.8.18
by Brendan Macmillan (http://freshmeat.net/users/yow/)
Friday, August 10th 2001 04:58
About: JSX provides your Java programs with XML persistence and
data-exchange for zero-effort. As a replacement for Java's own
Serialization, it works for all objects without any set-up. You need not
change your classes or design schema or write scripts (unlike design-time
solutions such as JAXB, Jato, and Castor). Other run-time solutions (such
as JOX and LTPforJB) only work for a subset of objects (e.g. Java Beans).
JSX works for all objects, handles evolution of classes, and needs no
design-time setup at all. It just works.
Changes: It is no longer necessary to call the defaultReadObject() in an
object's readObject() method.

Friday, August 10th 2001 23:03
Category: Education :: Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)
About: jbofihe (or more correctly jbofi'e) is a parser for checking the
grammatical correctness of Lojban text. It also provides approximate
translations of Lojban into English. (Lojban is a constructed human
language with the interesting property that its grammar can be cast into a
form that Bison can parse.) The package includes cmafi'e (a smaller version
without grammar checking), and a program to aid lujvo (compound word)
construction.
Changes: Emacs Lisp functions for driving jbofi'e have been added, and a
plethora of bug fixes and minor improvements were made.

[025] - Katalog 1.04 (Stable)
by Maciej Korzen (http://freshmeat.net/users/eaquer/)
Friday, August 10th 2001 20:59
About: Katalog is set of shell scripts to create/list/search an index of
your CDs. It is very simple and fast. All indices are compressed with gzip
to save space. Because it is written in sh, it is very portable. Katalog
uses egrep to search indices.
Changes: A changelog has been added. CD-ROM presence is now checked with:
/bin/ls $cd >/dev/null 2>&1, so it will work even if you are using
Supermount, and a GPG package signature has been added. See the changelog
for more changes.

[027] - lesspipe.sh 1.22
by Wolfgang Friebel (http://freshmeat.net/users/friebel/)
Friday, August 10th 2001 04:56
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 compressed files, archives, and
files contained in archives. The following formats are currently supported
(both as plain and compressed files using compress, gzip, bzip2, or zip):
tar, nroff, (sh)ar, executables, directories, RPM and Debian (.deb)
Archives, Microsoft Word, files and PDF-Files.
Changes: Added support for removable media via the /dev/xxx files, as well
as support for unmounted DOS Filesystems, using the mtools command suite.

[028] - libferris 0.6.0
by Ben Martin (http://freshmeat.net/users/monkeyiq/)
Friday, August 10th 2001 11:12
About: libferris is a Virtual file system implementation that relies quite
a lot on the Extended Attributes (EA) paradigm. The design is also flexible
enough to allow internet protocols to integrate, providing C++ IOStreams
and EA about each object. The design is somewhat influenced by JNDI.
Changes: libferris now uses and includes a copy of Loki from the Modern C++
Design book by Alexandrescu. SmartPtr objects with a specialized intrusive
COM-like reference counting scheme are now used instead of
IntrusiveFerrisHandles. Command line options for controlling logging were
added, as well as popt integration to allow clients to set the level of
debug that ferris sends to syslog. NullStream and null_streambuf were
added, complete with inline inserter operator<< for high-speed null
ostreams. The seeking operations in the restricted istream class were
improved. createSubContext() was added to edb context.

application to send its own headers and SMTP commands. The API may still
change slightly, so this is considered developers release.

[033] - Medusa DS9 0.8.1
by Milan Pikula (http://freshmeat.net/users/www/)
Friday, August 10th 2001 11:34
Categories: Security, System
About: Medusa DS9 is used to increase Linux's security. It consists of two
major parts, Linux kernel changes and the user-space daemon. Kernel changes
do the monitoring of syscalls, filesystem actions, and processes, and they
implement the communication protocol. The security daemon communicates with
the kernel using the character device to send and receive packets. It
contains the whole logic and implements the concrete security policy. That
means that Medusa can implement any model of data protection; it depends
only on configuration file, which is in fact a program in the internal
programming language, somewhat similiar to C.
Changes: Several bugs found in the alpha release were fixed. This version
contains Constable and the VS monitor (kernel patch) for Linux 2.2.19 and
2.4.7.

[035] - Moosic 1.1
by daniel pearson (http://freshmeat.net/users/danielpearson/)
Friday, August 10th 2001 21:37
Category: Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players
About: Moosic is a music player that focuses on easy playlist management.
It consists of a server process that maintains a queue of music files to
play and a client program which sends commands to the server. The server
continually runs through its playlist, popping items off the top of the
list and playing each with an external program. The client is a simple
command-line utility which allows you to perform powerful operations upon
the server's queue, including the addition of whole directory trees,
automatic shuffling, and item removal according to regular expressions. The
server comes configured to play MP3, Ogg, MIDI, MOD, and WAV files.
Changes: The association of file types to player programs has been moved
into a separate configuration file. New commands were added, including
"filter", "history", "die", and "reconfig". The "--no-file-munge" option
was added. The dependency upon the external "date" command was removed. The
server now numbers the list of items in the playlist, and includes the
current song as item zero.

About: MOSIXVIEW, a GUI for MOSIX-Cluster, is a frontend for the most
common used mosctl commands. The Load-Balancing can be influenced by
"speed-sliders" and even remote processes are manageable. A
mosixview-client installed on every cluster-node gives additional options.
Changes: A "display-chooser" for the MOSIXVIEW-Client has been added. A
.spec file for each package has been added, allowing users to easily build
their own rpm-packages with 'rpm -bb mosixview.spec'. RPMs for
Mandrake-Linux are avaiable. MOXIVIEW has been tested and fixed with
QT-3-beta3. Binaries are automatically copied to /usr/bin by the "setup"
script. There are smaller bug fixes, and MOSIXVIEW has been lightly
optimized.

About: mpg321 is a command-line mp3 player based on the mad mpeg audio
library. It is designed to be a drop-in replacement for mpg123, and
therefore its interface has been designed around that of mpg123, without

playing mp3s, mpg321 works in other situations in which mpg123 is used,
such as with frontends (e.g. gqmpeg) and audio CD burning applications.
Changes: The libao configure macro has been updated, and the 'mpg123'
symlink installation has been fixed.

anything the script has access to on your system has been fixed. There are
a few other minor bug fixes. An alpha version of the ability to watermark
all of your pictures with a custom logo has been added.

Friday, August 10th 2001 12:06
About: The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL encryption wrapper
between remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote server. It can
be used to add SSL functionality to commonly used inetd daemons like POP2,
POP3, and IMAP servers without any changes in the programs' code. It will
negotiate an SSL connection using the OpenSSL or SSLeay libraries. It calls
the underlying crypto libraries, so stunnel supports whatever cryptographic
algorithms you compiled into your crypto package.
Changes: A critical section was added around TCP Wrappers code that is not
MT-safe. A problem which produced a "select: Interrupted system call"
error was fixed. The use of errno was replaced with get_last_socket_error()
for Win32. Some FreeBSD/NetBSD patches were made to ./configure. The local
mode process PID is now logged. The default FQDN (localhost) was removed
from stunnel.cnf. ./configure was changed to recognize the POSIX threads
library on OSF. The -O option was added to set socket options.

by Russ Dill (http://freshmeat.net/users/r2600/)
Friday, August 10th 2001 22:41
Category: System :: Networking
About: uDHCP Server/Client is an embedded DHCP client and server that can
be compiled seperately (17k each), or as one combined binary (25k). The
server stores its lease file periodically, or by a signal (for systems

remaining in a lease (for systems with no clocks). The client calls helper
scripts to do the work of configuring the interfaces for more
flexibility.
Changes: The udhcpc cilent uses raw sockets to accept packets while the
network interface is deconfigured. The client also sends a parameter list
for certain stubborn DHCP servers.

About: The VideoLAN Client (VLC) is an MPEG, MPEG-2, and DVD player for
Unix, Windows, MacOS X, and BeOS. It can play MPEG streams from a file,
from a network source, or directly from DVD. There is video support for
X11/XVideo, GGI, SDL, the Linux framebuffer device, DirectX, and the BeOS
API; audio support for OSS, Esound, and ALSA; and a GNOME, GTK+, Qt, or KDE
interface.
Changes: This bugfix release solves major issues in DirectX audio output,
XVideo video output, DVD input, and fixes various segfaults in ac3dec,
spudec, input_dvd, input_ps, and intf_rc. The program was also ported to
BSD/OS, including DVD decryption.

About: whatsnewfm is a filter for the daily freshmeat newsletter. It shows
only news items that you haven't seen before (so you don't have to read
about every update of applications that you aren't interested in). You can
also set up a list of "interesting" applications where you want to be
informed of every update.
Changes: Whatsnewfm has been fixed to support freshmeat's current
newsletter format.
