  Wednesday, July 23rd 2003 14:10

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Sound Synthesis

About: amSynth is a realtime polyphonic Analogue Modeling SYNTHesizer. It
provides virtual analogue synthesis in the style of the classic Moog
Minimoog/Roland Junos. It offers an easy-to-use interface and synth
engine, while still creating varied sounds. 

Changes: A font configuration handling problem has been fixed. There is an
improved, more robust startup procedure (the "auto" audio target now tries
JACK audio before anything else).

Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: MIDI

About: BEAST (the BEdevilled Audio System) is a GTK+/GNOME-based frontend
to BSE (the Bedevilled Sound Engine). BSE comes with the abilities to
load/store songs and synthesis networks (in .bse files), play them modify
them, etc. BEAST provides the necessary GUI to make actual use of BSE.
Synthesis filters (BseSources) are implemented in shared library modules,
and get loaded on demand.

Changes: This release contains a ported and improved synthesis module from
David A. Bartold: DavSynDrum, a synthetic drum generator. Support was
added for control event editing, per-note velocity and fine-tune editing,
and per-track and per-song special effects. Lots of miscellaneous bug
fixes were made. Some improvements were made for NetBSD compilation, and
the GUI has been a bit polished as well.

names. BHL handles a list of links (lol) and a table of contents (toc):
you can browse the lol and the toc, insert them where you want, and update
the sections' numbers with one keystroke.

Changes: This release handles quote environments. You can use more and
more specifications. Special characters are more properly converted.

Database
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
Software Development

About: bonddb is an object orientated wrapper for  PostgreSQL. It's a fast
data abstraction layer  written in C for C/C++ applications, to allow easy
 access to class objects. You can use existing  PostgreSQL databases
without any modification or  additional tables needed in the backend.

Changes: A lot of the inner workings have been changed while  keeping to
the same API. Database objects can now be  more freely represented across
several tables. Primary  keys for every table in every record are obtained
 allowing updates back to any table. It has moved away  from the concept
of a base table associated with  database objects and SQL statements can
be more  freely used to construct database objects.

About: Confirm is an email challenge-response system which virtually
eliminates all unsolicited email.  It is written in C and procmail, and is
easily customized. Unsolicited email is checked against valid
sender/recipient headers; unauthorized email is held pending a one-time
confirmation reply from the sender.

Changes: Confirmation messages are now sent from a global system account
rather than using a variable user name in order to prevent bounced
messages from returning to the system.

  Wednesday, July 23rd 2003 22:03

Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
Communications :: Ham Radio

About: CWirc is a plugin for the X-Chat IRC client to transmit raw Morse
code over the internet using IRC servers as reflectors. The transmitted
Morse code can be received in near real-time by other X-Chat clients with
the CWirc plugin. CWirc tries to emulate a standard amateur radio rig: it
sends and receives Morse over virtual channels, and it can listen to
multiple senders transmitting on the same channel. Morse code is keyed
locally using a straight or iambic key connected to a serial port, or
using the mouse buttons, and the sound is played through the soundcard. 

Changes: In this version, a Debian package has been added. It is  also
possible to rebuild it from the main tarball archive.

About: Enigmail is a "plugin" for the mail client of Mozilla and Netscape
7.x which allows users to access the authentication and encryption
features provided by the popular GnuPG software. Enigmail can encrypt/sign
mail when sending, and can decrypt/authenticate received mail. It can also
import/export public keys. Enigmail supports both the inline PGP format
and the PGP/MIME format, which can be used to encrypt attachments.
Enigmail is cross-platform, although binaries are supplied only for a
limited number of platforms. Enigmail uses inter-process communication to
execute GPG to carry out encryption/authentication.

Changes: A bug that sent unencrypted email if cancel was clicked in the
recipients selection dialog was fixed.

  by Konstantin Riabitsev (http://freshmeat.net/users/graf25/)
  Wednesday, July 23rd 2003 19:56

System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring

About: Epylog is a log notifier and parser that periodically tails system
logs on Unix systems, parses the output in order to present it in an
easily readable format (parsing modules currently exist only for Linux),
and mails the final report to the administrator. It can run daily or
hourly. Epylog is written specifically for large clusters where many
systems log to a single loghost using syslog or syslog-ng. Although Epylog
can be used on standalone systems, other packages (like logwatch) are
probably better suited for such purposes.

Changes: Several bugfixes and a new --cron mode of operation, which
creates and checks the lockfile in case there are cron run overlaps.

About: Gander serves Python applications over HTTP by doing as little as
possible: a request for a root URL returns an index page, a request for
non-valid application returns "404: Resource NotFound", a request for
uninstantiated object returns "412: Object Not Instantiated", and all
other responses come from the Gander-served application for which Gander
translates URL-style requests into object method-calls.  

Changes: Restricts service to localhost by default, has a remote switch
for broader access, a debug switch, and other small changes.

Software Development :: Libraries
Text Processing :: Filters

About: The GNU Talk Filters are filter programs that convert ordinary
English text into text that mimics a stereotyped or otherwise humorous
dialect. These filters have been in the public domain for many years, but
now for the first time they are provided as a single integrated package.
The filters include b1ff, brooklyn, chef, cockney, drawl, fudd, funetak,
jethro, jive, kraut, pansy, postmodern, redneck, valspeak, and warez. Each
program reads from standard input and writes to standard output. This
version of the package also provides the filters as a C library, so they
can be easily embedded in other programs. A patch is also included to
integrate the talk filters with the GAIM instant messenger program. 

Changes: This release includes some minor documentation  updates,
configuration/build improvements, and some  filter updates, including
support for filtering HTML  documents.

About: GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which was inspired by
both TeX and GNU Emacs. The editor allows you to write structured
documents via a "wysiwyg" and user friendly interface. The program
implements high quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts. It is also

  Wednesday, July 23rd 2003 07:01

Communications :: Email
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries

About: Penguin Greetings is a Perl Web application to implement Internet
greeting cards on Linux and other Unix-based systems. It can be run as a
standard CGI application or as a persistent Perl interpreter (via
SpeedyCGI) for production settings. It also supports multiple sites
running on the same server. It includes a complete e-card Website with 85
cards for users who want a "plug and play" e-card solution. It is intended
to make e-cards more like email by using multipart MIME email and
including message text. The HTML for the cards and the creation screens
are stored in templates based on Embperl so that users can completely
customize the look of the program. Via Embperl, Perl expressions can be
incorporated into templates for server-side processing. Access to the card
creation functions can be optionally restricted to users in an htpasswd
file. Cards are emailed and databases updated by a separate daemon program
which allows for card scheduling and improves security and logging.
Extensive documentation is provided as well as demonstration Web sites
that make full use of the Embperl scripting capabilities.

Changes: This release candidate for the 0.9.x series is an extensive
rewrite of core functionality, including Perl modules for shared code. It
now supports an unlimited number of secondary ecard sites running on the
same server and same CGI-Application/daemon pair. SMTP client service was
implemented, so that ecard can be sent via an SMTP gateway other than the
local computer. Improvements were made to the template test tool. A new
database initialization tool, PgreetDBinit, was added. Two secondary
demonstration ecard sites and 20 new cards were added.

  Wednesday, July 23rd 2003 06:18

System :: Benchmark
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Monitoring

About: pv (Pipe Viewer) is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the
progress of data through a pipeline. It can be inserted into any normal
pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly
data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it
is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion. 

Changes: This release improves the build process on various non-Red Hat
systems, particularly Mac OS X. Some small internationalization bugs were
also corrected.

[056] - pmacct 0.5.0 
  by Paolo Lucente (http://freshmeat.net/users/plucente/)
  Wednesday, July 23rd 2003 06:28

System :: Networking :: Monitoring

About: pmacct is a network tool to gather IP traffic information (bytes
counter and number of packets). Aggregation of statistics is done using
simple primitives (MAC addresses, source host, destination host, ports,
and IP protocols) that can be used alone or combined together to form
complex aggregation methods. Data is stored in a in-memory table or using
an SQL database (currently only MySQL). The content of the tables can be
later retrieved by a client program or via an SQL client for simple output
or export to other programs, such as MRTG. Gathering packets off the wire
is done using the pcap library and the promiscuous mode of network
interfaces. 

Changes: Support for 802.1Q (VLANs) and for FDDI links was added. Static
aggregation directives are now superseded by primitives that can be
stacked together to form complex aggregation methods. Many code
optimizations and fixes were made.

Other/Nonlisted Topic
System :: Boot
System :: Boot :: Init

About: PXES is a micro Linux distribution for thin clients that converts
any suitable machine into a versatile thin client within minutes. It can
access XDM servers presenting a graphical login screen, Microsoft Terminal
Servers, Citrix ICA, and VNC servers, or a local X session with simple

parameters such as the server to be set. Local devices can be accessed,
including sound, printers, and disks. It boots on a variety of hardware,
and does not require NFS. It can be used over low bandwidth WAN and VPN
connections, and can also be booted from local media like hard disk and
CD-ROMs where network boot cannot be used.

Changes: In this version, the kernel was upgraded to 2.4.20- 5pxes
including devfs support. The DHCP client was  changed to udhcpc with more
recognized options.  Remote management has been greatly improved.  Options
to remote manage the thin clients include a  telnet server, Web management
interface, and session  shadowing. ICA Client 7.00 is now supported as are
 LTSP Sessions. Rdesktop was upgraded to 1.2.0. NBD  server configuration
is included for local devices  sharing.

Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics

About: Quick-Join implements a heuristic for speeding up  neighbour
joining, making neighbour joining feasible for  large sets of taxa. The
inferred tree is identical to the  tree inferred by the traditional
neighbour joining  method, but the heuristic will (potentially) construct
the  tree significantly faster.

[063] - rdiff-backup 0.12.1 
  by Ben Escoto (http://freshmeat.net/users/bescoto/)
  Wednesday, July 23rd 2003 04:12

System :: Archiving :: Backup
Utilities

About: rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another. The target
directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs
are stored in a special directory so you can still recover files lost some
time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an
incremental backup. rdiff-backup can also operate in a bandwidth-
efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup
and ssh to securely back up to a remote location, and only the differences
will be transmitted. It can also handle symlinks, device files,
permissions, ownership, etc., so it can be used on the entire file system.

Office/Business
Office/Business :: Groupware

About: sqlDESKTOP is a computerized manual filing system arranged just
like an ordinary office with pictures of real cabinets and real folders.
You can arrange by project, by department or whatever makes sense to you.
sqlDESKTOP doesn't tell you how to organize, it lets you do things your
own way. Documents are easy to find because you don't have to remember the
exact name of the document or where you put it. Instead, you can visually
locate what you are looking for in a familiar office environment and click
on it.

Changes: There is a new database creation script for MySQL. This release
can now use the MySQL database running on case-sensitive operating systems
(Linux, Unix, etc.). Support for Red Hat 8 and 9 and Mandrake 9.1 has been
improved. Processing of URLs has been improved. An input error during the
configuration of the mail server no longer cancels the whole process. You
no longer need to manually empty the database if it is aborted during the
first launch.
