Thursday, April 24th 2003 22:52
Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
About: BomberClone is a free Bomberman-like game for Linux and Windows.
The rules of the game are simple: run though a level and bomb other
players. It features powerups that give you more strength, make you walk
faster through the level, or let you drop more bombs.
Changes: Improvments were made to the handling of game joining. You can
now catch illnesses from other players, making the game much more fun to
play.

[008] - cosign 1.0.0
by UMich Web Team (http://freshmeat.net/users/umweb/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 03:12
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Security
About: cosign is a Web single sign on system that allows users to
authenticate once per session and access any protected Web resources at
the institution. If used, passwords are sent only to a single, central
URL. Sessions have both idle and hard timeouts, and users can logout of
all protected services by visiting a single URL. The use of public key
cryptography ensures that a compromise of a protected Web server has no
impact on the security of other participating servers.
Changes: This release works with Apache 1.3.x, IIS, and all standard Web
browsers with or without Javascript.

Thursday, April 24th 2003 21:09
System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring
System :: Recovery Tools
About: The Crash Core Analysis Suite utility is a self-contained tool,
loosely based on the SVR4 crash command but completely merged with gdb,
thereby combining the kernel-specific nature of crash with the source
level debugging capabilities of gdb. The utility can be used to
investigate live systems, kernel core dumps created from the Kernel Core
Dump patch offered by Mission Critical Linux, and kernel core dumps
created from the Linux Kernel Crash Dumps (LKCD) patch offered by SGI.

About: Debian-Ham is a floppy distribution specifically for contesting and
logging. It is based on uClibc, busybox, and tlf. The current scheme uses
a LILO boot floppy with a minix root floppy. Network support is included
to connect to a DX cluster.
Changes: All of the binaries and libraries on the root floppy have been
updated. Tlf is now statically linked against ncurses, so there is almost
400k free to run a contest. Cwdaemon is now the default keyer.

[013] - Drall 1.11.2.4 (Development)
by Henrik Edlund (http://freshmeat.net/users/henrik/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 03:16
Communications :: File Sharing
Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: Drall is a script which allows users to access their directories
and files remotely without the need of using insecure FTP and telnet. It
enables the user to treat the remote file system as if it was on their
local hard disk through a normal Web browser. The interface resembles the
well known Norton Commander and Midnight Commander. Single or dual-panel
views makes it easy to see an overview of the file system and the modular
design means you only use the features you need. Drall is written in Perl
for easy customization and expansion.
Changes: This release fixes a small bug in the suid function when setting
the real gid.

[014] - DSPAM 2.35
by Jonathan A. Zdziarski (http://freshmeat.net/users/jzdziarski/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 10:49
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Internet
Text Processing :: Filters
About: DSPAM is a server-side anti-spam agent for UNIX email servers. It
masquerades as the email server's local delivery agent and filters/learns
SPAM using a Bayesian statistical approach which provides an
administratively maintenance-free, self-learning Anti-Spam service. Each
email is broken down into its most interesting tokens, each assigned a
spam probability. All probabilities are then combined to produce a
statistical probability of spam. This approach, applied to a mature corpus
of email, has the potential to yield a 99.5% success rate with only 0.03%
chance of false positives.
Changes: A small fix has been made to the Linux makefile (-ldb -> -ldb1).
Lines beginning with 'From' are prefixed when writing to the quarantine
box. A bug that resulted in caught spam messages never showing up in the
quarantine box has been fixed (they were lacking the initial "From").

[015] - eGenix mxODBC Zope Database Adapter 1.0.4
by mal (http://freshmeat.net/users/lemburg/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 02:43
Database
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
Internet
About: The eGenix mxODBC Zope Database Adapter (Zope DA) allows you to
easily connect your Zope installation to just about any database
backend. Unlike Zope's ZODBC Zope DA, the mxODBC Zope DA works on
Windows, Linux, and Solaris using the same interface. It implements
thread-safe connection pooling and multiple physical connects per logical
Zope connection. You can safely run Z SQL Methods in parallel, achieving
much better performance than ZODBC Zope DA or similar database adapters
under heavy load. This makes it ideal for deployment in clusters and
hosting environments where stability and high performance are a priority.
Changes: This version includes connection options that improve
compatibility with ODBC drivers. Work was made on compatibility with the
0.61 release of the FreeTDS ODBC driver, which is typically used for
connecting to MS SQL Server. Support for non-transactional data sources
such as MS Access and MySQL 3.x was added, and the program can now be used
under Solaris.

[017] - Elm ME+ PL101b (25) (Patch)
by Kari Hurtta (http://freshmeat.net/users/hurtta/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 11:12
Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office
About: Elm 2.4ME+ is based on Elm 2.4. It contains enhanced MIME and
character set support. It can read mail from POP or IMAP folders and can
pass mail to the PGP or GPG programs. It also includes modules for
TLS/SSL, iconv, and SMTP.
Changes: This patch makes possible to set incoming-mailbox =
$USER@imap-sever on elm.rc, fixes a crash caused by certain headers on
.elm/elmheaders, and fixes another crash when displaying EUC mail. The
Reply-To header on .elm/elmheaders is no longer ignored.

[019] - elvind 4.1.1 (Stable)
by davida (http://freshmeat.net/users/davida/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 22:39
System :: Networking
About: Elvin is a publish-subscribe notification and messaging service.
Message consumers use content-based subscriptions to request delivery of
structured messages. The Elvin 4 server daemon has a modular architecture
with support for TCP, UDP and HTTP transports, SSL security and XDR or XML
message marshalling. It has been used for such tasks as instant messaging,
workflow, distributed gaming, network management, application integration
and as an infrastructure for computer supported cooperative work.
Changes: The SSL entropy pool is saved to disk, federation subscription
updates are now batched to reduce inter-router traffic under high
subscription load, and configuration of link heartbeat timeouts was added
for federation and failover connections.

[021] - Enterprise Object Broker 1.0 (Development)
by Paul Hammant (http://freshmeat.net/users/paulhammant/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 02:37
Software Development :: Object Brokering
About: Enterprise Object Broker (EOB) is an application server that
transparently distributes Java objects via their interfaces. It makes no
distinction between Local and Remote objects. Because of these features,
it is not J2EE compliant. The developer builds beans that implement normal
Java interfaces and the deployer decides where the beans are in a cluster
of servers. Apache's AltRMI is used in place of RMI. It publishes plain
interfaces locally and remotely. The interfaces do not have to extend the
java.rmi.Remote interface. Methods do not have to throw RemoteException.
AltRMI delivers remoting for Java. EOB sits on top of Apache's
Avalon-Phoenix server platform.
Changes: Phoenix was updated to 4.0.4, Jetty to 4.2.9, AltRMI to 0.9.3,
JSX to 2.0.9.1, and Phoenix to 4.0.4. The program now works with JDK 1.3.1
again. SimpleStore was replaced with Hibernate.

by Cyberdemon (http://freshmeat.net/users/cyberdemon/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 06:40
Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
System :: Networking
About: JFtp is a Swing Java network and file transfer client. It supports
FTP with its own FTP API, SMB using jcfis, SFTP using j2ssh, and local
file IO using the j2se library. It includes many advanced features such as
recursive directory up/download, browsing FTP servers while transferring
files, FTP resuming, browsing the LAN for Windows shares, and more. The
FTP API is separated from the GUI and can also be used in third-party
applications or in a commandline mode. It should ideally be launched in a
Web browser via Java Web Start (contained by the Java 1.4 plugin) but can
also be started locally.
Changes: Huge performance improvements were made. The UI no longer spams
itself with refreshes if too many events happen at once. The FTP code was
improved to greatly reduce the control-connection traffic, which results
in a dramatic speedup, especially when transferring multiple small files.
The documentation code was also fixed, and is better commented now.

making it possible to easily keep up with patches from multiple sources in
spite of directory structure changes.
Changes: New commands were added that expose the hard link synchronization
algorithm to higher level programs, and the error handling system was
overhauled. Interactive errors work even when input or output is
redirected.

[061] - minit 0.9
by Felix von Leitner (http://freshmeat.net/users/fefe/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 10:51
System :: Boot :: Init
About: minit is an attempt to cross-breed DJ Bernstein's daemontools and
init, while adding dependencies, and maintaining minimal code base. It is
possible to start and stop services on the fly. minit does not depend on a
mounted /proc file system, and it does not write to any part of the file
system, not even to start and stop services. It does not use System V IPC,
either.
Changes: This release has small helpers to hard reboot and write values to
proc files. msvc now accepts more than one service per invocation. There
is a heuristic to compensate for time zone changes after minit is started.
There are several bugfixes and smaller improvements.

by emcc (http://freshmeat.net/users/emcc/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 22:51
About: Modeleasy+ is a powerful, advanced econometric modeling package.
It is capable of doing estimations and simulations of econometric models
written in a modeling language that is natural and easily learned. It
easily lends itself to the estimation and simulation of large models
having thousands of equations, and has a robust model description
language that allows economists to quickly formulate their models and
save them for future use. The model processing language contains a large
number of estimation techniques, as well as advanced simulation
capabilities, which can be applied to the model without any changes to
the model itself.
Changes: This version includes a VAR operation, providing a powerful
analysis tool for VAR models. HTML help and tutorial files are included,
as well as manuals in PDF format. It also features an enhanced graphical
interface with expanded functionality to allow more flexibility in
tailoring the environment. A Ghostscript graphics driver is also included,
allowing users to interactively preview Postscript graphs.

Changes: Several bugs in horizontal scrolling, Nextview EPG provider scan,
and the Linux saa7134 driver interface were fixed. The French default
shortcut "Météo" was repaired. Configuration options for interaction with
xawdecode instead of xawtv were added. The user interface to the program
list was improved in multiple ways (e.g. scrolling is allowed by dragging
with middle mouse button). A command line option -tvdisplay was added to
allow interaction with TV applications on different displays.

[066] - Oracle Perl Procedure Library 0.97 (Stable)
by Jeff Horwitz (http://freshmeat.net/users/jhorwitz/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 09:21
Database
About: extproc_perl is an Oracle external procedure library that allows
Oracle functions and procedures to be written in Perl. A Perl interpreter
is embedded in the external procedure, and remains persistent for the life
of a client session.
Changes: This version fixes a bug in which the first DBI connect would
crash the interpreter when called from code stored in the database. Due to
the added complexity of this fix, a new wrapper interface was added to the
ExtProc module to encapsulate initial DBI connects. This fix also requires
a new patch for DBD::Oracle, which is included.

[069] - PARI/GP 2.1.5
by Igor Schein (http://freshmeat.net/users/igorschein/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 08:48
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
About: PARI/GP is a package aimed at efficient computations in number
theory, containing a large number of other useful functions. It is
somewhat related to a Computer Algebra System, but is not really one since
it treats symbolic expressions as mathematical entities such as matrices,
polynomials, series, etc., and not as expressions per se. However it is
often much faster than other CAS, and contains a large number of specific
functions not found elsewhere, essentially for use in number theory.
Changes: Typos were fixed. Precision problems in elltors (which produced
wrong results) were fixed. A memory leak when assigning to
multidimensional arrays was fixed. A rare wrong result in ellap() was
fixed.

Thursday, April 24th 2003 19:24
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: RabbIt is the mutating, caching webproxy which is used to speed up
surfing over slow links like modems. It does this by removing advertising
and background images and scaling down images to low quality JPEGs. RabbIT
is written in Java and should be able to run on any platform. It does
depend upon an image converter if imagescaleing is on. The recommended
image converter is "convert" from the ImageMagick package.
Changes: A fix for a problem where 304 responses from the cache sometimes
caused multiple responses, minor HTTP/1.1 optimizations, fixes for a few
odd cases where a 200 OK response from the cache could be used in response
to if-range requests instead of revalidating with the server, and a new
option to turn off filtering based on user agent (to the DontFilterFilter)
since at least Java handles compressed pages badly.

by Aleix Conchillo Flaque (http://freshmeat.net/users/aleix/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 19:40
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The aim of SCEW is to provide an easy interface to the XML Expat
library. Expat gives an API based on event handling mechanisms to load
the XML tree structure. SCEW provides functions to load and access XML
elements without the need to create the event handling routines and
without the need to rewrite these functions each time a different XML
tree needs to be loaded. It also lets developers access the internal
Expat parser, which means they can still have all the functionality that
Expat library provides. It has functions to create XML trees from scratch
and save them to files.
Changes: A fix for a crash bug in scew_element_del_attr(), C++-compatible
headers, and fixes for some compilation warnings.

by mrtux (http://freshmeat.net/users/mrtux/)
Thursday, April 24th 2003 15:16
Communications :: File Sharing
About: Take a Joint has the goal to simplify the integration of Linux
clients into Windows networks. Sharing a directory should be as easy as
under Windows. Users should be able to share their directories even
without being root or knowing the Samba configuration file smb.conf. To
fulfill the high security demands, users who would like to share their
directories have to be activated by root first. The same applies to
directories or devices the user isn't allowed to access with his regular
rights. Currently both console programs taja (admin program) and taju
(user program) are usable.
Changes: In this release, many documentation files for users and
developers have been added. Furthermore, the code has been cleaned up, and
the taju program has a new feature which shows the rights of the current
user.

About: webmlist is a Web mailing list archive system written in PHP
intended to be used against an anonymous IMAP backend. It is very simple,
and is intended to be lightweight and fast rather than full-featured,
though it supports multiple folders, as well as both threaded and sorted
views that are dynamically generated from the message store.
Changes: This version includes numerous enhancements, including use of
UIDs instead of sequence numbers, better attachment support, an RSS
generator, the ability to list just the last few messages in a folder, and
minimal authenticated IMAP support.

About: Webtop is a Web-based POP3 email client that includes SSL
encryption, Mozilla support, many email filter options, spam fighting
features, custom folders, email import/export, fast searching,
undeliverable email bounce, intelligent read receipts, and email-to-PDF
generation. The Webtop also includes a calendar, notepad, online file
storage, automated email reminders, contacts, mailing lists, and Web-based
administration. One installation can support multiple users and each user
can set up as many POP3 accounts as they need.
Changes: A filter rule to check SpamCop (spamcop.net) was added to
determine whether an email has been routed through a blacklisted mail
server. A filter rule was added to check SpamHaus (spamhaus.org) to
determine whether an email has been routed through a blacklisted mail
server. The content-disposition header was not being sent to the browser
when downloading attachments from an email, suppressing the popup window
in Mozilla when opening attachments. Several other bug fixes were made.

Text Processing :: Linguistic
About: WordNet® is an on-line lexical reference system whose design is
inspired by current psycholinguistic theories of human lexical memory.
English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized into synonym
sets, each representing one underlying lexical concept. Different
relations link the synonym sets.
Changes: It is now possible to link nouns and verbs by using a "+"
followed by a single, lower-case letter a-x. These links are present in
the lexicographer files, but not in the WordNet 1.7.1 database.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Ripping
About: YaRET is a Perl script that automates the ripping, normalization,
and encoding of CDs. It supports CDDB very well via the Perl Audio::CD
module, and also can work with your favorite ripper/normalizer/encoder
(e.g., cdparanoia, cdda2wav, normalize, etc.) It supports useful features
like multiple concurrent encoders and an easy to use configuration file
that lets you customize YaRET to your taste (such as file naming based on
the CDDB information).
Changes: Space to underscore the translation was added, and it is
customizable. Some very small bugs were squashed.
