Multimedia :: Graphics :: Capture
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Capture :: Digital Camera
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Capture :: Scanners

About: ALE aligns and merges several similar images from a digitizing
device (such as a digital camera or scanner) into a single image. This may
have the effect of producing a relatively alias-free image (sometimes
called "anti-aliasing"). 

Changes: A general scaling option has been added, and the high-frequency
enhancement filter now works near image boundaries.

[007] - ccrypt 1.4 
  by Peter Selinger (http://freshmeat.net/users/selinger/)
  Sunday, March 30th 2003 02:37

Security :: Cryptography
Utilities

About: ccrypt is a commandline utility for encrypting and decrypting files
and streams. It was designed as a replacement for the standard Unix crypt
utility, which is notorious for using a very weak encryption algorithm.
ccrypt is based on the Rijndael cipher, which is the U.S. government's
chosen candidate for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). This cipher
is believed to provide very strong security. A compatibility mode is
included for decrypting legacy "unix crypt" files.

Changes: This version now handles files larger than 2GB. A new option
--tmpfiles was added which causes ccrypt to use temporary files during
encryption, rather than overwriting the old file contents destructively.
This is less secure than the default behavior, but it prevents data loss
in case of an interruption or a crash during crypting.

Text Processing :: Markup :: LaTeX
Utilities

About: Darius Tools is a collection of miscellaneous scripts which are
useful for a variety of purposes. They are all designed to be faster and
easier to use than the command line that would normally be required to

conversion of WAV files to Ogg files and Ogg files to WAV files, for
converting LaTeX to PostScript and viewing the output in ggv, for creating
image thumbnails, for converting from the Euro to another currency, for
automated updating via FTP and for removing backups recursively. The
Darius Tools are split among several packages according to different
categories.

Changes: urlize was rewritten in Perl (a lot faster), and some
bash_completion has been added.

Communications :: Email
Communications :: File Sharing

About: Efisto (Easy File Send To) enables users to send files to anyone
who has email and Web access. When the sender uploads files with the
efisto client, the recipient gets an email with an URL that can be used to
download the files. It features automatic creation of compressed archives,
download notification, expiration of files, and expiration notification. 

Changes: This version fixes a number of bugs that have been discovered
while developing the QT-based client. Expiration of containers now works
as expected, and the server enforces an upper limit of days until that
happens. Deleting an object (user, container, etc.) now correctly deletes
all depending objects. The policy file for use with the Tomcat security
manager has been updated to a version that actually works.

About: Enterprise Gantt is a Gantt chart library, and is becoming a
generic charting library to support a variety of charts. The library
strongly conforms to the Model View Controller architecture recommended by

Scientific/Engineering :: Medical Science Apps.

About: nut is nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze your
meals for nutrient composition. The database included is the USDA Nutrient
Database for Standard Reference, Release 15, which contains 6,220 foods.
This database contains values for vitamins, minerals, fats, calories,
protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc., and includes the essential
polyunsaturated fats, Omega-3 and Omega-6. Nutrient levels are expressed
as a percentage of the Daily Value, the familiar standard of food labeling
in the United States, but also can be fully customized. Recipes can be
added. The program is completely menu-driven and there are no commands to
learn.

Changes: This release makes further changes to the algorithm that resets
the polyunsaturated fat reference values when calories are reset from the
analysis screen. The purpose is to "learn" the user's typical diet and
reduce confusion by showing any adequate level of intake as 100%, no
matter which particular fatty acids comprise that intake.

  by Tom Chance (http://freshmeat.net/users/telex4/)
  Sunday, March 30th 2003 16:24

Multimedia :: Video

About: QuickRip is a basic DVD ripper for GNU/Linux written in Python and
PyQt. It lacks options to fine-tune how you want to rip your DVD, but it
makes ripping quick and easy, and so is ideal for those who aren't
bothered about framerates, clipping, and other unecessary options. It uses
mplayer and transcode to retrieve DVD info and rip the tracks.  

Changes: A major rewrite of the code structure to allow for an inheritable
generic DVD class (dvd.py), which has functions for scanning and ripping
DVDs and functions that act as hooks to an interface. A PyQt interface is
already implemented (gui.py), and a command line interface (CLI) is in
progress (cli.py). A progress dialogue shows the name of the track being
ripped.

  by JamesOff (http://freshmeat.net/users/jamesoff/)
  Sunday, March 30th 2003 17:09

Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat

About: The TopicEngine is an advanced TCL script for eggdrop bots for
managing the topic in one or more channels. It allows users to change or
lock the channel topic through the use of public commands in the channel,
with fine-grain permission controls available. Users do not have to be
opped to change the topic (but the bot must be if the  channel is +t). It
can automatically refresh the topic after a netjoin, and allows command
caching to avoid flooding the channel with topic changes. The topic can
also be locked by appropriate people. TopicEngine will attempt to
communicate with other TopicEngine bots in the channel to avoid a topic
live-lock flood.

Changes: This release gives TopicEngine a new easier-to-use permission
system, and uses eggdrop channel flags to manage the script. Several code
and usage problems have been fixed, including better operation of the undo
command.
