[001] - Allegro 4.0.3 (Stable)
  by Grzegorz Adam Hankiewicz (http://freshmeat.net/users/gradha/)
  Saturday, April 19th 2003 19:32

Games/Entertainment
Multimedia :: Graphics
Software Development :: Libraries

About: Allegro is a multi-platform game library for C/C++ developers that
provides many functions for graphics, sounds, player input (keyboard,
mouse, and joystick), and timers. It also provides fixed and floating
point mathematical functions, 3D functions, file management functions,
compressed datafile, and a GUI. 

Changes: Some improvements were made to the documentation. The profile
build on BeOS was fixed. Makeinfo detection was added under Unix, and
fixes were made for a problem with make install libdir= and modules on
Unix systems and an SVGAlib module unloading bug.

[003] - bash programmable completion 20030419 (Stable)
  by Ian Macdonald (http://freshmeat.net/users/ianmacd/)
  Saturday, April 19th 2003 06:40

System :: Shells
System :: Systems Administration
Utilities

About: Since v2.04, bash has allowed you to intelligently program and
extend its standard completion behavior to achieve complex command lines
with just a few keystrokes. Imagine typing ssh [Tab] and being able to
complete on hosts from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts files. Or typing man 3 str
[Tab] and getting a list of all string handling functions in the UNIX
manual. mount system: [Tab] would complete on all exported file-systems
from the host called system, while make [Tab] would complete on all
targets in Makefile. This project was conceived to produce programmable
completion routines for the most common Linux/UNIX commands, reducing the
amount of typing sysadmins and programmers need to do on a daily basis. 

Changes: The long-standing bug in sudo completion (and other commands)
when the subcommand is passed wildcard globs has been fixed. Minor
improvements to gpg completion have been made. Tilde expansion was
mysteriously broken over the last four months, but this has now been
fixed. dict completion has now been moved into the main file and rewritten
to provide much more functionality.

[005] - chgrep 1.1.0 
  by Bartek Krajnik (http://freshmeat.net/users/bmk/)
  Saturday, April 19th 2003 12:42



About: chgrep searches the input files (or standard input if no files are
named) for oldpattern and changes them to newpattern (grep doesn't support
this). You can use .lock files (or another extend). It is useful in (but
not limited to) mail servers. 

Changes: Regular expressions can now be used in OLDPATTERN. The -i option
can be used to ignore differences in case in OLDPATTERN, and the -n option
can be used to treat newline as a regular character.

as well as freeing of unallocated buffer structs in threads. The status
bar has been changed to a textbox so that it acts like a log. The '-0.00'
display of FPS has been fixed. A segfault when a service could not start
has been fixed. Failure is now logged. The CleanThreads() function has
been removed, as it is now useless thanks to the new buffer structure. The
failure messages for the ISO service have been changed.

bug caught by 'use strict'. Also, the program now works as expected when
'reply style' is set to attach for reply messages. New additions include
enforced attachment of original messages for multipart messages on
replies, clean-ups of the message send code, and text/html email updates.

About: Soapbox is a (sandbox) library that allows to restrict processes to
write only to those places you want. By preloading the Soapbox library (or
using the provided soapbox-script), you can run programs and monitor which
writes/changes are made, without them really happening. Typically do a
safe succesful 'make install' that doesn't break halfway and doesn't
pollute your system. 

Changes: Builds again on gcc versions lower than 3.0. A bug that could
possibly cause a segfault has been fixed.

[039] - WindowLab 1.09 
  by Nick Gravgaard (http://freshmeat.net/users/nickgravgaard/)
  Saturday, April 19th 2003 12:38

Desktop Environment :: Window Managers

About: WindowLab is a small and simple window manager of novel design. It
is click-to-focus, shares its window depth policy with the Amiga, and has
a window resizing/reshaping method similar to that of 8-1/2 from Plan 9.
It maintains the illusion of direct manipulation by constraining the mouse
pointer when appropriate (i.e., when a window cannot be dragged any
further in one direction). The pointer is also constrained vertically
(effectively making the target menu items infinitely tall according to
Fitts's law) when it is in the menubar to reduce pointing time.

Changes: New windows now appear fully on screen instead of just their
titlebar, and code has been added to destroy the constraint window if it
can't be grabbed. Unnecessary unmapping of windows before they were
destroyed has been removed. The menurc path is now specified by a -D
option on the compile line in the makefile instead of being a #define in
the code, significant changes have been made to the ConfigureRequest event
handler with the addition of refix_position(), and a crash in
dump_clients() in DEBUG mode has been fixed.
