[001] - APC 1.1.0
by George Schlossnagle (http://freshmeat.net/users/gschlossnagle/)
Friday, August 17th 2001 22:03
About: APC (Alternative PHP Cache) was made to boost the performance of PHP
on heavily loaded sites by providing a way for scripts to be cached in a
compiled state, so that the overhead of parsing and compiling can be almost
completely eliminated. There are commercial products which provide this
functionality, but they are neither Open Source nor free. The goal is to
level the playing field by providing an implementation that allows greater
flexibility and is universally accessible.
Changes: A complete rework of the class inheritance code, fixes to shared
memory errors, fixes for clean-up when encountering parse errors, and
general efficiency fixes.

[004] - beancounter 0.3.1
by Dirk Eddelbuettel (http://freshmeat.net/users/eddelbuettel/)
Friday, August 17th 2001 01:30
Category: Office/Business :: Financial
About: beancounter enables stock market data analysis and performance
evaluation. It has two main modes. The first is data gathering - both
current data (e.g. closing prices, high, low, volume etc.), and historical
price data can be retrieved and stored in an SQL database via easy
command-line operations. The second mode is data analysis based on the
stored data. This comprises various performance reports as well as a
Value-at-Risk analysis. beancounter is implemented as a Perl module, and a
Perl command-line frontend to the module. It supports markets in North
America, Europe, and Asia.
Changes: Several SQL queries were rewritten to allow for imposition of
multiple selection contraints. Quotes from Yahoo! Europe can now reflect
the recent change to ';' as the CSV field seperator.

[005] - beowulf 27z-8
by Xose (http://freshmeat.net/users/xose/)
Friday, August 17th 2001 11:29
Categories: System, System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks, System ::
Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: Beowulf includes an enhanced Linux kernel, libraries, and utilities
specifically designed for clustering. Beowulf provides a single system
image through BProc, the Beowulf cluster process management kernel
enhancement. BProc makes the processes running on cluster "Computation
Node" computers visible and manageable on a front-end "Master Node".
Processes start on the front-end node and migrate to a cluster node.
Process parent-child relationships and UNIX job control are maintained with
migrated tasks. Cluster slave nodes are not required to contain resident
applications. Their hard disks are used for application data and cache.
This approach eliminates version skew common with previous generation
clusters.
Changes: Alpha support was added, including a simplified, x86-like
installation. Myrinet and Gigabit are now supported. Web-based cluster
administration, cluster status, and job monitoring tools were added. Other
new features include hardware health and status monitoring support,
Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) support, a robust batch queuing/scheduler
with CLI, GUI, and Web-based interfaces, PXE boot capability, and support
for Parallel Virtual File System, NFSv3, and ROMIO. The Beosetup and
Beostatus tools were enhanced. This version is built on the 2.2.19 Linux
kernel. MPI support was updated via MPIch.

URL of the page you were watching already filled in. Adapted Leech to use
the new Forms module. Fixed a bug in the main loop - Leech no longer runs
amok when it runs out of links.

directory scan responses (0 would always be returned, even if virus was
present), and checking for file/directory existance before trying to scan.

default. Options allow to rather print "~/*" or "./*" and/or to print all
exectuables that match any directory in PATH.
Changes: Added support for Bourne Shell Functions. The alias must be
changed into a shell function (see documentation), and the rpm does this
automatically for you, but be sure to remove any alias that you might have
in your .bashrc.

[063] - Zebra 0.92
by Kunihiro Ishiguro (http://freshmeat.net/users/kunihiroishiguro/)
Friday, August 17th 2001 01:37
About: GNU Zebra manages IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols. It supports BGP-4
protocol as described in RFC1771 (A Border Gateway Protocol 4) and BGP-4+,
RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. GNU Zebra has a good client
interface, so the user can change configuration dynamically.
Changes: IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast configuration is changed to so
called new config. All of AFI and SAFI specific configuration is moved to
"address-family" node. When you have many IPv6 only configuration, you will
see many "no neighbor X:X::X:X activate" line in your configuration to
disable IPv4 unicast NLRI exchange. In that case, please use "no bgp
default ipv4-unicast" command to suppress the output. Until zebra-0.93, the
old config is still left for compatibility. Internal interface treatment is
changed. Now ospfd can handle multiple IP address for an interface.
