Desktop Environment :: Theme
Desktop Environment :: Theme Resources :: Fonts
System :: Console Fonts

About: acoc is a regular-expression based colour formatter for programs
that display output on the command-line. It works as a wrapper around the
target program, executing it and capturing the stdout stream. Optionally,
stderr can be redirected to stdout, so that it, too, can be manipulated.
acoc then applies matching rules to patterns in the output and applies
colours to those matches. 

Changes: A bug in the signal handling was fixed.

[009] - Boehm-Demers-Weiser Conservative Garbage Collector 6.3alpha1
(Alpha)
  by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
  Wednesday, July 30th 2003 06:50

Software Development :: Bug Tracking
Software Development :: Libraries

About: The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used
as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It is also
used by a number of programming language implementations that use C as
intermediate code. Alternatively, it may be used as a leak detector for C
or C++ programs. A slightly older version of the garbage collector is also
included as part of the GNU compiler (gcc) distribution. 

Changes: This release introduces some fixes for NetBSD, for AIX threads,
for PA-RISC machine builds, and for Darwin. Furthermore, it fixes
GC_pthread_create semaphores, thread table size in Win32 threadDetach, and
GC_CreateThread thread handle duplication.

[010] - BusyBox 1.0.0-pre2 
  by Erik Andersen (http://freshmeat.net/users/andersee/)
  Wednesday, July 30th 2003 05:32

Software Development :: Embedded Systems
System :: Boot :: Init

About: BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a
single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of
the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The
utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured
GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected
functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox
provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or embedded
system.

Changes: This release fixes the problems that have turned up in -pre1. The
'ash' shell has been synced with the Debian 'dash' shell. Lots of docs
were added. This release generally polishes things in preparation for
1.0.0.

  Wednesday, July 30th 2003 01:24

Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters

About: Slate is a prototype-based object-oriented programming language
based on Self, CLOS, and Smalltalk. Slate syntax is intended to be as
familiar as possible to a Smalltalker, rather than engaging in divergent
experiments in that respect. However, the language semantics, environment,
and run-time design are all much more powerful than in traditional
Smalltalk systems.

[019] - Distributed Hardware Evolution 1 
  by Miguel Garvie (http://freshmeat.net/users/MiguelGarvie/)
  Wednesday, July 30th 2003 07:47

Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
System :: Hardware

About: This project allows the distribution of a genetic algorithm
evolving hardware designs across the Internet by setting up an island on
each clients' PC which will evolve during idle time. Individuals from
these islands will migrate between each other as they compete for
survival. All source code is available and is generalizable to any GA or
distributed processing task. 

Changes: A set of Java classes for distributing CPU intensive tasks over
the Internet is provided. The client has no access to the hard disk nor
anything else except contact with the server. However, it downloads all
necessary code from the server as needed and re-downloads it when it has
been recompiled. The state of the processing task is distributed across
the server and clients, avoiding a single point of failure.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players
Multimedia :: Video

About: dxr3Player is a lightweight command line DVD  player for Linux and
the DXR3 (aka Hollywood+)  MPEG-2 decoder boards. It supports all major
DVD  features, including menus, navigation, fast  forward and backward
playback, subtitles, and  camera angle changes. The player is very 
conservative on memory usage and tries very hard  (and mostly succeeds) to
keep video and audio in  sync. 

Changes: Compilation problems were fixed for those who do not have the
LIRC client library and header installed.

  Wednesday, July 30th 2003 13:52

System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration

About: File Integrity Command & Control (FICC) helps system administrators
manage multiple Tripwire installations across their network. It maintains
MD5 hashes for the three key Tripwire files (the config file, executable,
and TW database) for every system it monitors. Using SCP, it retrieves
these key files from each system and compares the computed signature
against the signatures in the FICC signature database. If all three
signatures match the database, FICC then connects to the host via SSH and
runs Tripwire. In the event that any of the signatures do not match the
database or Tripwire detects files changes, an email is sent to the "FICC
administrator" of the system in question.

  Wednesday, July 30th 2003 22:32

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players :: MP3

About: IMMS is an intelligent playlist plug-in for XMMS that tracks your
listening patterns and adapts itself to your taste. It is incredibly
unobtrusive and easy to use as it requires no direct user interaction.

Changes: Some major internal restructuring was made. By  popular demand,
all metadata is now stored in a  database with files identified by both
filename  and checksum, so write access to music files is  no longer
required. The next song is now  selected internally and jumped to directly
with  no skipping. A fuzzy string comparison algorithm  was used to yield
more reliable song matching.

About: python-stablesort is an adaptive, stable, natural mergesort. It is
a back-port of the new Python 2.3 stable listsort algorithm to all Python
versions (tested with all versions from 1.5.2 to 2.2.3). It can also be
regarded as some sort of forward-port in case the default Python list
sort() method will change to a non-stable algorithm in the future again. 

Changes: This release is resynchronized with the official Python 2.3
version.

[064] - RFID C library 3.0.0 
  by Loic Dachary (http://freshmeat.net/users/loic/)
  Wednesday, July 30th 2003 06:54

Communications

About: The rfid library is a set of C functions to communicate with RFID
devices. A RFID transponder is a wireless memory area made of a chip and
an antenna. A RFID reader creates a magnetic field that is used as a power
source by RFID transponders and as a carrier for communication. A program
can use the rfid library to be notified when a RFID transponder enters or
leaves the range of a RFID reader. When a RFID transponder is in range,
data can be read from its memory or written into it. 

Changes: A driver was added for the M2XXH RFID reader series from Inside
Contactless. An implementation of ISO-15693-3 inventory logic was added. A
complete ISO-15693-3 implementation was added. A ISO-15693 RFID
transponder database was added to cope with RFID transponders or RFID
readers that don't implement the GET_SYSTEM_INFORMATION optional command.
Drivers are now dynamically loaded. A probe function was added to guess
communication parameters (speed etc.) with the RFID reader.

suspended. 

Changes: This version adds swapfile support, rewrites the format  for
storing swsusp's data, and includes miscellaneous  bugfixes.
