insert the toc where you want, and update the sections' numbers with one
keystroke.
Changes: You can now run the BHL conversion functions from your shell. BHL
recognizes four styles of sectioning. You can automatically switch from
one style to another and guess the style of the current buffer. You can
list the links (URLs or WikiNames) of your document and follow them. You
can add specifications strings so that the core conversion functions
adequately handle the currently-edited file.

running Windows 98. Users running Windows who complained of a crash should
upgrade. Support was added for Windows-style Cut/Copy/Paste accelerator
keys. In addition to Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, you can now use "Shift+Del
to cut, Ctrl+Ins to copy and Shift+Ins to paste. Other minor improvements
were also made.

play other games, etc. your other applications will be much more
responsive. The ignore command was added, which is very useful against AOL
kids. You can turn around in place now, but you have to stand still (as
opposed to walking, or sitting).

[028] - Java Aspect Components 0.9.4
by laurent (http://freshmeat.net/users/laurentmartelli/)
Friday, March 7th 2003 09:31
Software Development
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: JAC is a Java framework that provides some facilities to achieve
Aspect-Oriented Programming and to separate concerns when programming
(distributed) applications (for instance, the persistence or
authentication aspects can be considered independently from what the
application is doing). It provides a runtime execution environment that
supports Aspect-Oriented applications written with the JAC framework that
provides visualisation, administration, and configuration tools for the
applications and for their aspects.
Changes: The IDE (UMLAF) has been greatly improved. Java and aspect
configuration code editors now have contextual completion, some rtti and
integrity configurations are now generated for the business model,
applications can now be launched from the IDE, and aspects configurations
can be dynamically reloaded from the IDE while the application is running.
The GUI aspect has been slightly improved with the addition of "expression
fields" and a popup items disabling feature.

[029] - JCards 3.5
by Nick Sydenham (http://freshmeat.net/users/nsydenham/)
Friday, March 7th 2003 20:26
Database
Information Management :: Records Management
About: JCards is a free Java application designed to store and manage data
in any format that the user defines. Instead of having multiple
applications/spreadsheets to manage passwords, tasks, shopping lists,
etc., JCards allows the user to define a database that contains the fields
they want. This is accomplished via an easy to use interface that requires
no understanding of SQL or any other database jargon. JCards was initially
developed for the Sharp Zaurus SL-5x00 PDA, but will run on any desktop or
PDA that has a 1.1 or above version of the Java Virtual Machine on it. The
advantage of this is that the user can use the same application on the PDA
and desktop to manage their data.
Changes: New options were added to word-wrap memo fields and hide field
labels when viewing cards. The length of memo fields is set individually.
You can now find within previous search set. Extra icons have been added
when running on a desktop. Import/export of CSV understands multi-line
fields, and CSV import/export can use an alternative character set.

Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
About: jRSVP is a Java 1.4 tool for Rapid Serial Visual Presentation, a
technique for extremely fast reading. It uses the Multivalent library for
parsing input documents, and is able to read PDF, PS, HTML, man pages, and
other documents. It displays texts on a word-by-word or
sentence-by-sentence basis and features a file history and bookmarks.
Changes: Enhancements were made to many different functions, and a
preferences dialog was added. It is now possible to change back- and
foreground color, display delay, and maximum delay. The calls to the
PreferencesAPI were replaced with a different solution which leaves the
Windows registry alone. The open file dialog now remembers the last
directory you opened a file in. Space and enter were added as commands to
start and stop the display. Changes were made to the in-memory storage to
speed up switching the display mode.

[031] - junkie 0.3.1 (Stable)
by Gunnsteinn Hall (http://freshmeat.net/users/thepin/)
Friday, March 7th 2003 16:44
Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
About: Junkie is a stable GTK2 FTP client for the X Windows system. It has
features such as queueing files, downloading/uploading of whole
directories, caching of directories, drag and drop, a site manager,
preferences (and a configure library), and an event-based FTP library,
which means that the client should be stable and not slow the user
interface down much.
Changes: The client has been made much more stable, the code has been
cleaned a lot, and the package has been made much smaller. A new multiple
site feature was added so you can be connected to many sites at once,
optional password encryption is included for more security, and more.

[032] - Katie snapshot-18
by Geoffrey D. Bennett (http://freshmeat.net/users/gbennett/)
Friday, March 7th 2003 10:20
Software Development :: Version Control
About: Katie is a revision control system, somewhat like a cross between
CVS and NFS, that was inspired by Rational ClearCase. The three most
interesting features are that the repository is mounted as a filesystem
(rather than being copied to a local workspace), that all versions of all
files (even deleted ones) are accessible through this filesystem (so the
"katie diff" command is a convenience rather than a necessity like "cvs
diff"), and that directories are versioned (just like files are). It is
functional enough to be self-hosting, but there is much work still to go
before it will be a generally useful tool. Features that are implemented
already include VOBs, elements, branches, dynamic views, view-extended
pathnames, config specs (including auto-make-branch rules), labels, hard
links, and symbolic links.
Changes: Support has been added for VOB symlinks, VOB hard links, and
'katie ln'. This allows for files to be 'undeleted' if they have been
removed with 'katie rmname', and it also permits directory contents to be
merged manually. A number of miscellaneous bugs were also fixed.

About: KMLDonkey provides integration for the MLDonkey P2P software and
KDE 3, in the form of a Kicker applet, ed2k protocol handling for
Konqueror, and a control panel applet to bring it all together.
Changes: The Python scripts were replaced with a protocol handler written
in C++, removing the Python dependency altogether. A new ability to save
and restore file priority settings was added as a workaround for the
mldonkey core's inability to keep these over restarts. Minor GUI and API
tweaks were made.

by ChipX86 (http://freshmeat.net/users/chipx86/)
Friday, March 7th 2003 20:41
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: The libcomprex library transparently handles automatic compression
and decompression of files and archives located locally, online, or even
in other compressed archives. The API is similar to C's built-in file
access functions, which provides a smooth transition to libcomprex.
libcomprex can also open uncompressed files, making it a good replacement
for the native file access functions.
Changes: Basic archive writing support, cpio and zip archives, individual
file extraction, pkg-config support, gettext support, and a handful of new
API functions were added. Fixes were made to permissions, timestamps, and
ownerships on extracted files or directories. Bugs were also fixed in the
directory iterator, libbz and libbz2 linking, and the ar and tar modules.

by Andrew Hsu (http://freshmeat.net/users/ahsu/)
Friday, March 7th 2003 02:29
Communications :: Email :: Address Book
About: Rolo keeps track of contacts and displays with a text-based menu.
It strives to be a well-constructed tool for complementing text-based
email programs. It utilizes the vCard version 3.0 format for storing its
contacts and interfaces with the end-user through an NCurses front-end.
Changes: Upon startup, this version now sorts the contacts in ascending
order by family name. The user may also choose other fields to sort by by
pressing "s" in the index screen. There is also a feature for filtering
contact entries based on a given filter string. This can be activated by
pressing "f" in the index screen.

[063] - rpm-update 2003-03-03 (Stable)
by Robert Kleemann (http://freshmeat.net/users/wormbin/)
Friday, March 7th 2003 20:26
System :: Systems Administration
About: rpm-update is a Python script that automates the downloading,
reporting, and installation of errata RPMs on a RedHat Linux distribution.
The goal of the utility is to be simple and transparent (making it clear
what it is doing) while still being easy to use. It can be automated (via
cron) or run interactively via the command line. A configuration file is
used to store commonly used options.
Changes: Red Hat changed the URL location of their public key;
rpm-update's reference to this URL was changed accordingly. CR/LFs are
stripped from the downloaded Red Hat public key so "rpm --import" doesn't
choke. Syslog output was cleaned up.

[065] - Ruby FormValidator 0.1.1
by Travis Whitton (http://freshmeat.net/users/whitton/)
Friday, March 7th 2003 14:10
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Ruby Modules
About: FormValidator is a Ruby port of Perl's Data::FormValidator library.
It makes it easy to validate data coming in from HTML forms by providing a
robust set of methods to handle required fields, dependent fields,
filtering, constraints, tainting, and defaults. Its modular design allows
you to easily add your own filters and constraints and also lets you to
keep validation data outside of your CGI scripts.
Changes: The validate method now returns the documented return value. Proc
constraints are now applied correctly, and untainting of passing
constraints is fixed. All unit tests have been rewritten and small code
cleanups have been made.

[067] - salias 0.3.0 (C)
by Frank J. Tobin (http://freshmeat.net/users/ftobin/)
Friday, March 7th 2003 16:47
Utilities
About: salias is a wrapper for programs that allows arguments to those
programs to be aliased. For example, salias could expand "gpg -r friends
--encrypt" to "gpg -r bob -r frank --encrypt". This is more useful than
using simple environment variables, as other programs calling the
wrapped-program don't have to worry about searching environment variables.
Also, salias deals well with things needing repeating prefix options, such
as with GnuPG's "-r" option (as shown in the example stated).
Changes: This is the tirst release of the C version of salias; because of
this, salias is much, much faster. A new configuration file format is now
being used.

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. This includes a
full number tower including complex number support and arbitrary precision
integers and floating point numbers, proper tail recursion, hygienic
macros, and full support for first-class continuations (not just the
escaping continuations found in many other systems).
Changes: This release fixes a minor bug in S2J class introspection for the
java.lang.Class, and two minor bugs in compiled-libs and anonymous
modules.

[073] - Spotter 2.0.2
by Ben Crowell (http://freshmeat.net/users/bcrowell/)
Friday, March 7th 2003 14:05
Education :: Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)
About: Spotter is software that can check students' answers to symbolic
and numerical problems in math and science. It recognizes an answer
regardless of the form it's in, and the instructor can put in helpful
hints as responses to frequently-occurring mistakes. Symbolic answers can
be input in a notation closely resembling normal human math notation
(e.g., xy rather than x*y, and sin x instead of sin(x)). Spotter runs as a
Perl CGI application on a Web server; the student doesn't need to install
any software.
Changes: Students can send email through Spotter to each other and to
their instructor. The messages will always be formatted in a way that
makes it clear who they're from, which avoids hassles with students
sending unsigned messages. The parser has been improved to make it give
more informative error messages in certain cases.

About: wxPyColourChooser is an implementation of a color chooser dialog in
wxPython. It can be embedded inside other widgets or used as a drop-in
replacement for a platform's native color dialog.
Changes: A major augmentation of the widget changes the way the colour
palette is drawn, displays both HSV and RGB values, provides a highlight
of a selected point on the palette, and highlights the selected colour
box. The colour values will now be updated when dragging the mouse as
well. The changes should appear in a future release of wxPython.

Friday, March 7th 2003 20:47
Multimedia :: Video :: Display
About: xine is a free multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and
VCDs. It also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from
local disk drives, and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet. It
interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available--and some
of the most uncommon formats, too. All those features come in a reusable
library (xine-lib) which can easily be embedded in your applications.
Changes: Real media references should be handled correctly now, and many
DVD playback related bugfixes were made. There are also new features such
as AVI streaming, muted console output (unless enabled using
XINE_PARAM_VERBOSE), and dvaudio/experimental rtp support.
