Category: Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: AFTPloader is a tool for Web developers to update homepages on FTP
servers. You can build entire hompages with AFTPloader with the intergrated
HTML editor. You can also export projects to Perl code, which can be useful
if you would like to upgrade homepages in a cronjob. It is designed to be
easy to use and powerful at the same time.
Changes: This is a bugfix and usability release. A bug in the export
function was fixed. Some window focusing problems were fixed. Some of the
security widgets were changed. The editor was improved with some more
HTML-related features. The export function was improved. A bug in the local
preview function was fixed.

Changes: This release uses Imlib2 instead of libgd2. It now supports all
the filetypes Imlib2 supports. A script to edit comments and to build a
cache with thumbnails has been added. There are minor changes to the
default templates.

Categories: Software Development :: Assemblers, Software Development ::
Compilers
About: An almost ISO C compatible C compiler which produces binaries for
6502-based computers. Targets that are supported out of the box are: Apple
][, Atari 8Bit machines, Commodore C64/C128/C16/C116, Commodore Plus/4,
Commodore 600/700, and GEOS for C64. The package includes a complete suite
of assembler developement tools (assembler, linker, archiver) which allows
mixing of C and assembler code.
Changes: This release has a new, much improved compiler backend, a new
compiler option to create a dependency list for a makefile, option and
pragma to generate stack overflow checks, is more flexible, and has an
INCBIN command for the assembler. The compiler generates line info that is
passed through the assembler to the linker. C functions may now be declared
as __fastcall__. There is a new #elif preprocessor directive, new improved
__asm__ syntax for the inline assembler, new optimizations, support for the
Commodore 510, and mouse support for Atari, C64, C128, CBM 510 and GEOS.

[027] - libferris 0.7.8
by Ben Martin (http://freshmeat.net/users/monkeyiq/)
Sunday, October 14th 2001 09:18
Categories: Software Development :: Libraries, System :: Filesystems
About: libferris is a virtual filesystem that exposes hierarchical data of
all kinds through a common C++ interface. Access to data is performed using
C++ IOStreams and Extended Attributes (EA) can be attached to each datum to
present metadata. Ferris uses a plugin API to read various data sources and
expose them as contexts and to generate interesting EA. Current
implementations include Native (kernel disk IO with event updates using
fam), xml (mount an xml file as a filesystem), edb (mount a berkeley
database), ffilter (mount an LDAP filter string) and mbox (mount your
mailbox). EA generators include image, audio, and animation decoders.
Changes: Support was added for mounting tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, and rpm files
as a filesystem. The -R option to ferrisls now prints the name of each
context as it is read. A bug where ferrisls -lR was reporting files in
subcontexts many times has been fixed.

About: mkCDrec (Make CDROM Recovery) makes a bootable (El Torito) disaster
recovery image, including backups of the Linux system to one or more
CD-ROM(s) (multi-volume sets). Otherwise, the backups can be stored on
another disk, NFS disk, or (remote) tape. After a disk crash or system
intrusion, the system can be booted from the CD-ROM and one can restore the
complete system as it was. It also features disk cloning, which allows one
to restore a disk to another disk (the destination disk does not have to be
of the same size, as it calculates the partition layout itself). Currently,
ext2, ext3, minix, msdos, fat, vfat, reiserfs, xfs and jfs filesystems are
supported.
Changes: The exclude directories bug has been fixed, as well as some minor
bug reports from users. The start-up phase has been modularized so that it
is easier to plug-in start-up scripts. The CD writer detection part has
been rewritten in test.sh. Automatic resizing of the partition layout used
by the cloning script has been slightly improved. A cramfs initial ramdisk
(still beta) used by Debian 2.4-based kernels is included. More tools were
added to the binaries list.

[034] - mpg321 0.2.2 (Development)

Sunday, October 14th 2001 01:07
Categories: Multimedia :: Sound/Audio, Multimedia :: Sound/Audio ::
Conversion, Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players, Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
:: Players :: MP3
About: mpg321 is a Free clone of mpg123, a command-line MP3 player. It is
designed to be a drop-in replacement for mpg123, and therefore its
interface has been designed around that of mpg123, without using any of its
code. mpg321 has been designed for use with frontends such as gqmpeg,
although it is just as useful on the command-line. Unlike mpg123, it
supports ESD and ALSA output without recompiling, and it does all MP3
decoding with only fixed-point math by using the mad MPEG audio decoder
library.
Changes: Mono output function re-added.

some "normal" users to issue any raw commands like KILL, SQUIT, etc have
been fixed. This is a major security update.

[047] - SISC 1.2.0 (Lite)
by Scott G. Miller (http://freshmeat.net/users/scgmille/)
Sunday, October 14th 2001 13:32
About: SISC is an extensible Java-based interpreter of the algorithmic
language Scheme. It uses modern interpretation techniques and handily
outperforms all existing Java interpreters (often by more than an order of
magnitude). In addition, SISC is a complete implementation of the language.
The entire R5RS Scheme standard is supported, with no exceptions. This
includes a full number tower including complex number support and arbitrary
precision integers and floating point numbers, as well as full support for
first-class continuations (not just escaping continuations as in many other
interpreters).
Changes: This is the bare-minimum R5RS version of SISC with few
enhancements or optimizations.

Sunday, October 14th 2001 06:06
Categories: System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux, System :: Software
Distribution, Terminals :: Terminal Emulators/X Terminals
About: A self-contained package which allows use of a diskless, low-memory

If you have a system with no disk, or perhaps an IPC which suffers from the
dreaded "slowdown" bug, this is the package for you.
Changes: The "route" utility and routed daemon are now included. Most of
the xinetd install code is now completed, making this release close to
being installable on distributions such as Red Hat 7.1 which use xinetd by
default.

have the same WW-powered site as a subdiretory of one site and at the same
time be @ROOT in another virtualhost. The package directory structure has
changed to a more package-friendly format. There are many small fixes.
