About: Gangplank is a Computer Mediated Communication  (CMC) system (or
"chat server") which supports  real-time communication between users,
currently  using a text-based user interface. It runs as an  Internet
server which implements the standard  telnet protocol, so no special
client program is  necessary for users. Server-side processing  provides
input editing/history and terminal- handling features over the telnet
connection for  standard ANSI terminals. This code has been in  production
use on a private server since early  1993. This single-process server is
fast, efficient  and stable.

Changes: This release added support for multiple reserved  names,
application-mode cursor sequences, and a  privileged /appoint override. It
also fixed  several bugs including some crashes, and  detaches more
cleanly at startup.

XML-RPC, SOAP, and DCOM clients.

Changes: Additional schema generators (MySQL and  Firebird), more internal
restructuring, API  improvements, descriptive trigger system error 
reports, event system enhancements  (dispatchAfter and cache), numeric

Utilities

About: Goanseech is a spinoff of the leverlada IRC leech script. One of
its core parts was extracted and remade into a standalone server. This
server holds information about the basic pattern that specifies the base
name of a TV series, which episodes were already fetched, and the maximum
number of episodes. There are several clients, including a script that
parses Web pages for Bittorrent links, matches them against the
information on the series server, and controls a user-defined number of
Bittorrent clients for retrieval. There is also a directory watcher which
scans a given set of directories and updates the series server with newly
found files. 

Changes: A new feature was added for ignoring a specified list of
filetypes. Some code cleanup was made. Particularly, the core part of the
patternServer was extracted into a POE.

Changes: The syntax of conversion tables has been enhanced to ease
tracking of changes with 'diff'. New translations have been added to
win1250->iso88592, win1250->iso88591, iso88592->win1250, and
iso88592->cp852 maps. ISO-8859-2->win1250 conversion should be now
complete (lossless).

not all together. When deleting a category, all the records assigned to
that category are deleted as well. This was not the case in prior
versions.

supposed to do. If you are familiar with PySoulSeek, you'll probably
notice a striking resemblance in appearance. 

Changes: Support for internationalization was added. A couple of bugfixes
and some other changes were made.

Security
System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: NuFW is a set of daemons providing filtering of packets at the user
level. On the client side, users have to run a client that sends
authentication packets to the gateway. On the server side, the gateway
associates userids to packets, thus enabling the possibility to filter
packets on a user basis. Furthermore, the server architecture is done to
use external authentication source such as an LDAP server.

Changes: Stability is now achieved and the user authentication protocol
has been improved. This version also brings a new source organisation and
code cleanup.

About: nvemFTP is a Qt-based FTP client geared to be compatible with many
protocols, with minimal dependencies.  

Changes: This released focused on a queue rewrite. The new queue format
provides a hierarchical layout with a new scheduler. This in effect makes
multiple hosts in the queue a viable option. Many bugs were fixed
regarding NFtp and NQueue as well, including bugs related to client-server
latency problems, or the server sending replies before the event occurred.

Security :: Cryptography

About: OpenSkat is an cryptographically secure implementation of the
german card game Skat for multiple players over IRC (Internet Relay Chat).
The fairness is based on several zero-knowledge-proofs from Christian
Schindelhauers research paper "A Toolbox for Mental Card Games". It has a
graphical user interface based on xskat 3.4. The modified sources are
included and require an X11 environment. 

Changes: This release contains a new table announcement strategy (which is
incompatible with old version 1.5). A very critical security bug was fixed
in key exchange proofs (uncommitted values permit factorization of remote
secret keys).

Database :: Front-Ends

About: PHP GEN reads the list of tables in a database, lets you select
one, then reads the structure of it, suggests a basic (modifiable)
configuration, and generates good-style and easily maintainable PHP code
capable of listing, adding, editing, and deleting records. Both the
generated code and the engine itself use Pear::DB for the
database-abstraction layer and Smarty for the presentation/interface
layer. 

Changes: This release merges code contributions so MySQL-specific code at
generation time has been completely removed and a details script
generation has been added for tables with lots of fields.

with multiple rows. The format_currency() function and a config value to
place the currency symbol before or after price were added. Better
checking of requirements was added. gd2 checking was improved. The
requirements were changed to PHP4.1. All HTTP_SESSION, HTTP_GET, and

domains that resolve to Verisign's mail dump for non-existent domains. It

System :: Monitoring

About: procps is a package of utilities which includes ps, vmstat, top, w,
skill, snice, pgrep, pkill, free, sysctl, pmap, uptime, and kill. These
utilities report what is running, who is logged in, how long the system
has been running, and what is using up memory. They can be used to kill
processes and change run-time kernel configuration values.

Changes: This release gives users more control over ps output, with
explicit column widths ("ps -o pid,wchan:42,args") and $PS_FORMAT for a
user-defined default. The new CPU usage stats of Linux 2.6.0-test4 are
displayed in top and properly summed by vmstat. There are some new display
options for vmstat and a fix for 4 GB wrap-around in top. Starting with
this release, a set of automated tests is being used to ensure
correctness.

[081] - the breve simulation environment 1.7 
  by jon (http://freshmeat.net/users/spiderland/)
  Wednesday, September 17th 2003 23:56

Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence

About: breve is a 3D simulation environment designed for the simulation of
decentralized systems and artificial life. While the concept is similar to
existing packages such as Swarm and StarLogo, the implementation, which
simulates both continuous time and continuous 3D space, is quite
different. It also includes an experimental physics engine, allowing the
user to implement real-time physical simulations. Simulations are written
in a simple object-oriented language called "steve". Users define an
agent's behavior by specifying how the agent interacts with the world at
each timestep and how the agent interacts when it collides with other
agents. The ultimate goal of the system is to allow decentralized
simulations to be implemented quickly and easily while providing a
sophisticated set of object classes and libraries to facilitate the
construction of advanced artificial life simulations.

Changes: Major feature enhancements and bugfixes were  made, and the
source is now available under the  GPL.

WildMagic library are included in VEE. The VEE_Swirl was renamed to
VEE_Vortex. There is now a framework for naming textures, so one can use
human-readable names rather than obscure integer values. Integers are
still used within the renderer for performance's sake. Some bugs in the
