[001] - a-renet 1.0.1
by Claudio (http://freshmeat.net/users/sick_soul/)
Friday, March 12th 2004 14:22
Communications :: Chat
Games/Entertainment :: Turn Based Strategy
About: a-renet (Arena Revival Network) aims to build a distributed
multiplayer game creation system (clients, servers, and a metaserver) and
create a sample game on top of it (as a tribute to arena256, with which it
shares many game concepts). The existing code is a distributed chat with
an SDL client.

[002] - Artefaktur Component Development Kit 4.10.0
by Roger Rene Kommer (http://freshmeat.net/users/rogerrenekommer/)
Friday, March 12th 2004 04:09
Software Development
Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: ACDK is a development framework with a similar target of
Microsoft's .NET or Sun's ONE platform, but it uses C++ as a core
implementation language. It implements the standard library packages,
including acdk::lang, acdk::lang::reflect, acdk::util, acdk::io,
acdk::text (including regexpr), acdk::net, acdk::sql, acdk::xml, and more.
Flexible allocator/garbage collection, threading, and Unicode are
implemented in the core of ACDK. Extensions make C++ objects available for
reflection, serialization, aspect-oriented class attributes, and [D]ynamic
[M] ethod [I]nvocation. This DMI acts as an universal object oriented call
interface to connect C++ with scripting languages (Java, Perl, Tcl,
Python, Lisp, Visual Basic, and VBScript) and standard component
technologies (CORBA and COM).
Changes: This release introduces a new Java-like scripting language with
bindings to ACDK C++, COM, CORBA, and other scripting languages. A
template version of the collection framework was implemented, memory
management enhanced, and a test and logging framework was implemented. An
alpha version of wxWindows/wxWidgets binding is available for ACDK C++
and the new script language. The SQL package was made to work with SQL
2000 Server. Countless bugs were fixed, and many detail improvements were
made in all packages.

Friday, March 12th 2004 11:06
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: Firewall, VPN, spam, virus and surf blocking are all included in
Astaro Security Linux, an all-in one Internet security gateway. It does
stateful packet inspection filtering, VPN with IPSec (PKI for X.509
certificates) and PPTP, wireless LAN, VLAN, PPPoE, PPPoA, content
filtering, user authentication, virus protection, spam protection, and
much more. With its Web-based management tool, WebAdmin, and the ability
to pull updates via the Internet, it is pretty easy to manage. It is based
on a special hardened Linux 2.4 distribution where most daemons are
running in change-roots and are protected by kernel capabilities.
Changes: This new snapshot fixes the install issues (all Pentium and VIA
CPUs), High Availability Config and Up2Date sync, Interface type
PPPoA/PPTPC issues, and a Group definitions bug. It also includes fixes
for 'Store logfiles remotely' via SMB and SSH, IPSec CRL fetching via
LDAP, Surf protection (profile assignment via LDAP), and a lot of small
bugfixes and improvements.

[007] - BitTorrent 3.4.1a (Stable)
by Bram Cohen (http://freshmeat.net/users/bramcohen/)
Friday, March 12th 2004 17:18
Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
System :: Software Distribution
About: BitTorrent is a tool for copying files from one machine to another.
FTP punishes sites for being popular. Since all uploading is done from one
place, a popular site needs big iron and big bandwidth. With BitTorrent,
clients automatically mirror files they download, making the publisher's
burden almost nothing.
Changes: The tracker works under Python 2.2 and supports 3.3 clients
properly. The client is unchanged.

Friday, March 12th 2004 08:13
Communications :: Chat
Internet
About: ctrlproxy is an IRC server with multiserver support. It runs as a
daemon and connects to a number of IRC servers, then allows you to connect
from a workstation and work as the user that is logged in to the IRC
server. After you disconnect, it maintains the connection to the server.
It acts like any normal IRC server, so you can use any IRC client to
connect to it. It supports multiple client connections to one IRC server
(under the same nick), allowing you to connect to IRC using your IRC nick,
even while you have an IRC session open somewhere else. It supports
logging (in any user-specified format), password authentication, and CTCP
(in case no clients are connected). IRC servers can be contacted over
IPv6 and/or using SSL. Automatic identification with NickServ is
supported, as well as various types of backlog.
Changes: Several crashbugs have been fixed. The IRC RFC is now strictly
followed everywhere. mIRC can now successfully connect. Optional Python
scripting support has been implemented, as well as a Web-based
configuration script that uses it. Help has been updated. GNUTLS support
has been added. Work has been done to improve userfriendliness and
documentation.

by Brain (http://freshmeat.net/users/braindigitalis/)
Friday, March 12th 2004 08:02
Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
Security
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: IRC Defender is a Perl program for protecting your IRC network
against virus drones, general troublemakers, ban evasion, and attacks. It
is fully modular, able to unload and load modules on the fly, and comes
with several modules to ban anatoly/fyle virus drones, block unauthorised
cgi:irc sites, conduct ctcp version surveys, maintain ctcp version
blacklists, and (most importantly) set regexp-based akills.
Changes: This release adds a module that detects IRC join/part floods
network wide and is able to notify admins and lock channels temporarily, a
nickflood detection module capable of detecting nick flooding network
wide, and a module to ensure that only nicks matching a regexp list can
gain operator privileges. It has Debian-like dependencies within its
modules so that each module PROVIDEs a set of features and other modules
DEPEND on the features and can choose to bail if these features are not
satisfied.

[030] - Kernel Mode Linux 2.6.4_001 (For Linux 2.6)
by Toshiyuki Maeda (http://freshmeat.net/users/tosh/)
Friday, March 12th 2004 08:20
System :: Operating System Kernels
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of
user programs in a kernel mode. In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can
access kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel modules, user programs
are executed as ordinary processes (except for their privilege level), so
scheduling and paging are performed as usual. Although it seems dangerous,
the safety of the kernel can be ensured through such methods as static
type checking, software fault isolation, and so forth.
Changes: This version has been merged with the 2.6.4 Linux kernel.

[034] - Linux Intrusion Detection System 2.2.0pre1 for 2.6.3 (2.6)
by Huagang Xie (http://freshmeat.net/users/xhg/)
Friday, March 12th 2004 17:16
Security
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: The Linux Intrusion Detection System (LIDS) is a patch which
enhances the kernel's security by implementing a reference monitor and
Mandatory Access Control (MAC). When it is in effect, chosen file
access, all system/network administration operations, any capability use,
raw device, memory, and I/O access can be made impossible even for root.
You can define which programs can access specific files. It uses and
extends the system capabilities bounding set to control the whole system
and adds some network and filesystem security features to the kernel to
enhance the security. You can finely tune the security protections
online, hide sensitive processes, receive security alerts through the
network, and more.
Changes: This version stores ACLs directly into the XATTR, uses in-kernel
SHA256 instead of RMD160, and removes some features like domain support,
bind port support, time support, and the sending email in kernel support.
This version is intended to be more compatible with the current kernel
architecture, but with little change to existing usage.

file types and automatically assigns a CVS keyword expansion mode to newly
added files whose suffixes match previously recorded types. Meta-CVS also
has an importing feature that automatically figures out renames and moves,
making it possible to easily keep up with patches from multiple sources in
spite of directory structure changes.

flawed applications. It includes a set of sample security policy
configuration files designed to meet common, general-purpose security
goals.
Changes: Experimental SELinux NFS code has been made available. The base
kernel version for 2.4 has been updated to 2.4.25. The base version for

[047] - nut 9.12
by Jim Jozwiak (http://freshmeat.net/users/jozwiak/)
Friday, March 12th 2004 19:40
Scientific/Engineering :: Medical Science Apps.
About: nut is nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze your
meals for nutrient composition. The database included is the USDA Nutrient
Database for Standard Reference, Release 16-1, which contains 6,661 foods
and 125 nutrients. This database contains values for vitamins, minerals,
fats, calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc., and includes the
essential polyunsaturated fats, Omega-3 and Omega-6. Nutrient levels are
expressed as a percentage of the Daily Value, the familiar standard of
food labeling in the United States, but also can be fully customized.
Recipes can be added, and graphs drawn. The program is completely
menu-driven and there are no commands to learn.
Changes: This release introduced the latest USDA database, SR16-1, and
changed the handling of the essential fatty acids. Lands' equation for
"estimated percentage of n-6 HUFA in plasma cell membrane phopholipids
based on diet" now only appears optionally on the analysis screen if the
user sets a required target value, in which case, William Lands'
recommendations for polyunsaturated fatty acid values replace the
program's own. The determination of what is Omega-6 and what is Omega-3
has been changed so as to estimate only when the USDA database does not
differentiate.

Friday, March 12th 2004 14:06
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: The PHP JavaScript interpreter is intended to be embedded into
CMS/Wiki engines to allow users to inject server-side executable code as
Web site extensions. This is possible because scripts run safely in a
sandbox, while interfaces to the hosting interpreters environment and
resources were still allowed. The language looks like a mix of PHP and
EcmaScript, but does not reach for completeness. It also runs magnitudes
slower than a real interpreter.
Changes: Unary operators are now supported, and initial documentation was
created. Because of the reworked internal variable representation, arrays
are now supported in scripts. Add-ons and simplified interfaces to the
library were added.

[063] - Sophster 0.9.3_2
by Steven Schaefer (http://freshmeat.net/users/mathews20/)
Friday, March 12th 2004 14:01
Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: Sophster is an HTTP server that provides access to the Linux
server it's running on. It requires authentication and then takes on the
user and group ID of the credentials. File and folder access is then
limited by the user and group ID. It features file upload/download, file/
folder delete, move, copy, and rename, basic text editing, creation of
files and folders, and the ability to set permissions and user/group
ownership of files/folders.
Changes: This release adds code that better manages memory usage when
retrieving the request entity body, and a configuration option for
specifying a threshold at which the code will decide to cache the entity
body to file rather than use system memory. Code and a configuration file
option have been added to deny a request if the entity body exceeds the
defined value, closing the connection before receiving the entity body,
which saves bandwidth.

[078] - zoem 04-072
by Stijn van Dongen (http://freshmeat.net/users/micans/)
Friday, March 12th 2004 08:13
Documentation
Software Development :: Documentation
Text Processing :: General
About: Zoem is a macro/programming language. It can be used as an
all-round macro language, but has more specialized uses as well. One such
specific use is its support for creating small mark-up languages that map
to different devices. It has character filtering capabilities tailored
to this application. Two such languages come packaged with zoem; one for
creating manual pages that can be output either in troff or in HTML, the
other for creating FAQs again in either troff or HTML output. It supports
arithmetic evaluation, regular expressions, multidimensional data
storage, iteration, comprehensive IO, control operators, dictionary
stacks, system commands, and more.
Changes: Zoem now reads input in chunks rather than in its entirety,
removing any limit on the size of files it can handle. The format#2 macro
(for txt mode) has new capabilities. You can now specify a padding string,
alignment (via substring match and alignment offset), and virtual length
(via a length macro and virtual argument) to accommodate arguments for
which the printing width differs from the length (this is useful for the
HTML pre environment, for example). The begin#1 syntax has been sanitized.
As an exceptional case, the faqsec environment from the FAQ package is no
longer backwards compatible.

[079] - ZoneCheck 2.0.3
by ZoneCheck Team (http://freshmeat.net/users/zonecheck/)
Friday, March 12th 2004 03:43
Internet
Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
About: ZoneCheck is intended to help solve DNS misconfigurations or
inconsistencies that are usually revealed by an increase in the latency of
the application. The DNS is a critical resource for every network
application, so it is quite important to ensure that a zone or domain name
is correctly configured in the DNS.
Changes: In this version, more debugging information has been added, as
well as the ability to control more of the zone check initialisation
through environment variables (ZC_IP_STACK for IP stack detection, etc.).
The list of root servers has been updated to take B IP address changes
into account. Two options have been added to tailor HTML page generation.
The profile selection has been fixed (all profiles are now available).
The DNS resolver is now a little less aggressive in UDP and the CNAME
chain is followed when checking for reverse.
