Wednesday, December 17th 2003 18:20
Information Management
Office/Business :: Scheduling
Software Development
About: 2do is a simple to-do list manager written in PHP and using a MySQL

by all, or can be protected by passwords. Administration is done via
simple Web-based forms.
Changes: This release adds the ability to password protect individual
projects, cleans the entire front page interface, making the rendered page
wider and clearer, and adds reverse sorting, an option to toggle CSV
importing or exporting, and minor bugfixes.

Software Development :: Widget Sets
About: ActiveUI is a modern cross-browser Web GUI toolkit. It provides the
full set of standard widgets (grid, tree, tabs, buttons, menu, etc.) with
a fast and convenient data-binding interface. It uses advanced client-side
capabilities (JavaScript/XML/DHTML/CSS) to deliver browser-based
applications of the same quality and performance as standard desktop
software (no install, no plug-ins, instant feedback, no round-trip
delays). It is 100% client-side and integrates easily with any type of
back-end.
Changes: This release fixes minor bugs related to row selection and
sorting.

has been fixed.

It features audible alerts, X background updating, acknowledgement of
alerts, and direct tests and connections for broken services.
Changes: A blocking bug fixed when several persons used bbwatch on the
same computer has been fixed. The other main improvement is the splitting
of the configuration from the main file to a specific config file,
system-wide or user-specific. The config is now independent from the
software updates. A Debian package is available.

supports SCSI writers (and IDE too, through Linux ide-scsi gateway), SCSI
or IDE CDROMs, limited auto-detection, ISO image extraction, mastering
and burning, direct burning of a directory, direct CD-to-CD copy, tray
ejection and closing, CD-RW blanking, configuration dialogs, and saving.

[010] - CGIScripter 1.62
by David Simpson (http://freshmeat.net/users/dsimpson1/)
Wednesday, December 17th 2003 20:33
About: CGIScripter automates the development of Perl CGI scripts for
MySQL, Oracle, Access, and SQL Server databases. Perl CGI scripts are
generated for each form specified within CGIScripter and include
customized data entry and data validation for each Web form. The Perl CGI
scripts generated by CGIScripter also provide support for
insert/update/view/delete of GIF/JPEG images via a Web-based interface.
Critical Web form processing parameters are hard-coded within each script
instead of being accepted via POST or GET operations in order to prevent
Web form hijacking.
Changes: Support was added for generating Perl CGI scripts for Access and
SQL Server databases for both Windows and UNIX Web servers. On
UNIX/Linux/MacOS X servers, Perl CGI scripts which are generated for
Access and SQL Server databases do not require ODBC drivers to be licensed
or installed on the Web server. These scripts utilize a DBI:Proxy
connection to ODBC drivers available on the database server. The demo
version of CGIScripter is now fully functional for generating Perl CGI
scripts and saving configuration files.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management :: Link Checking
About: Checkbot is a tool to verify links on a set of HTML pages. Checkbot
can check a single document, or a set of documents on one or more servers.
Checkbot creates a report which summarizes all links which caused some
kind of warning or error.

not be reported as problems. Checkbot warnings are now handled as
pseudo-HTTP status messages. There is more robust handling of (lack of)
status messages, and documentation fixes.

number of previously learned document collections. It can be used to sort

supports international character sets, and uses sophisticated statistical
models based on the Maximum Entropy Principle.
Changes: This release has a new, streamlined testsuite facility. It is now
possible to compare the classification accuracy of 13 different filters,
including ifile, crm114, spambayes, popfile, and spamassassin. Comparisons
can be done on your own email corpora via cross validation,
train-on-error, or full online learning. An experimental form of
attachment scanning is also now available.

2.3.0 includes HTTPS and FTP over SSL support.
Changes: Security fixes were made in the HTML parsing code. fxp between
ftps sessions is now possible. A rare bug with access to freed memory in

Wednesday, December 17th 2003 11:07
System :: Networking
System :: Systems Administration
About: Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator allows beginning-to-advanced network
administrators to control bandwidth. It is designed to be completely
turn-key in its default configuration. You just plug it into your network
trunk, and it self configures and immediately starts slowing "bandwidth
hogs". It can be configured to target specific applications such as Kazaa,
IMAP, and POP. It also comes with denial of service protection and a
special reservation system for voice and video traffic QOS.
Changes: This user guide has a new section explaining how the default
rules differ from custom rules. It will help arbitrator users analyze and
understand how the bandwidth arbitrator works in turn key mode, thus
differentiating it from many other shaping tools. It is also updated with
changes detailing how to set up the arbitrator to block out going
connections to prevent your network from creating spam traffic or ICMP
storms.

in which many types are defined. Mac OS X compatibility has been added.
FreeBSD compatibility has been improved. A new native language "Stacker"
frontend has been added. The C++ frontend has been improved via
performance and bug fixes, so LLVM now compiles itself. The LICM and
TailCallElimination optimizations are now more powerful. The JIT startup
time has been improved by 2.5x in some cases.

a unified Makefile in the driver directory for easy compilation, SMP
fixes (still a work in progress), and support for the Atheros AR5004.

Text Editors :: Integrated Development Environments (IDE)
About: Synopsis is a source code documentation tool that follows a modular

written in Python, the C++ parser is a module based on OpenC++, and the
IDL parser is a module based on the omniidl tool.
Changes: This is a major update that features a totally reworked frontend.

Changes: This is a maintenance release. Many bugs have been fixed, most of
the code has been reviewed and cleaned up, and many little details are
improved. Compared to 1-rc2, you'll probably notice much smoother

[077] - YAWn! Linux 0.1
by Elmar Hoffmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/elho/)
Wednesday, December 17th 2003 21:45
Games/Entertainment :: First Person Shooters
About: YAWn! Linux is a client for the YAWn! service, which keeps track of
the names used by players of "Return to Castle Wolfenstein". Players are
tracked by their unique PunkBuster GUID, and thus players cannot hide
behind a fake name to play recklessly or purposely misbehave. YAWn! adds a
console command to "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" that lists all players
like PunkBuster does. However, this command also displays the other names
that the player has used before, or (for players that use YAWn!
themselves) the name and taunt-message that the player chose at
registration.
