System
System :: Archiving :: Backup

About: The ATA over Ethernet Tools are intended for use in conjunction
with an ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver for a Linux 2.6 kernel. They
perform simple tasks like listing available devices, triggering device
discovery, and restricting the network interfaces on which AoE is
performed. 

Changes: Sub-gigabyte device sizes are now formatted correctly in aoe-stat
output.

[003] - Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript 2005-09-08 
  by Terry Burton (http://freshmeat.net/users/terryburton/)
  Thu, Sep 8th 2005 08:19

Information Management
Multimedia :: Graphics
Office/Business :: Financial :: Point-Of-Sale

About: Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript implements the printing of many
barcode formats entirely within level 2 PostScript, so that the process of
converting the input string into the printed output is performed by the
printer itself. This avoids the need to re-implement the barcode
generation process whenever your language needs change. The project
supports most major barcode formats including EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E,
ISBN, Code 128 (A, B, and C), Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Postnet, Code 2
of 5, and Codabar.

Changes: An options parser was added to the renderer. Each renderer was
modified to pass a copy of its user-defined options to the renderer. A new
user-definable option called inkspread that reduces the width of the bars
was added to the renderer.

  Thu, Sep 8th 2005 08:01

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: Campsite is a multilingual content management system (CMS) for news
Web sites. Campsite's user interface was built with the end user
(journalist, editor, publisher) in mind, and it can be configured to suit
different profiles of end users. Campsite follows the print-newspaper
publishing paradigm, so it structures sites by default as Publications >
Issues > Sections > Articles. Campsite works best for medium-to-large-size
online news publications, but it is capable of handling nimbler sites too. 

Changes: Installation fixes were made for Fedora. The code now works with
PHP5. Bugs were fixed in the admin interface. A Russian translation was
updated. Sample template packages were added. Lots of documentation was
added to the manual and INSTALL file. The admin interface can now run on
any port. Template language fixes were made.

About: Emerde is a port of Gentoo's portage system that installs, removes,
updates, and maintains your system rapidly and easily. On Slackware, it
cooperates with the package database and allows you to install .tgz files
directly using dependency checking.

Changes: A Sync-cat script that lets you sync a single category or package
with the Gentoo repository was added. runscript.sh was patched to handle
net dependecies at boot by rc.emerde. A --pasive option was added to
auto-install.sh to select FTP passive mode. /etc/init.d/runscript.sh is no
longer launched from rc.emerde.

About: ezUserManager is a script that allows administration of  .htpasswd
files or the use of Web-based login. It features a signup form, a
forgotten password form, and an admin form with the ability to modify and
delete users. It offers email activation or admin approval, and supports
both encrypted and plain text passwords.

Changes: A parse error in login-handle.php was fixed. A bug which caused a
"headers already sent" message when including login.php was fixed.
Background and font color were removed from the config-area, since this
setting is overridden by the stylesheet.

[009] - FetchYahoo 2.9.0 
  by Smthng (http://freshmeat.net/users/smthng/)
  Thu, Sep 8th 2005 02:47

Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents

About: FetchYahoo is a Perl script that downloads mail from a Yahoo! 
account to a local mail spool. It is meant to replace fetchmail  for
people using Yahoo! mail since Yahoo!'s POP service is no  longer free. It
downloads messages to a local mail spool,  including all parts and
attachments. It then deletes messages  unless requested not to. It can
also optionally forward  messages to a specified email address and repeat
with a given  interval.

Changes: This release fixed a message-ID parsing bug that made the program
unusable for many users. It also fixed the bug where the security challenge
couldn't be retrieved and a bug where an attempt was made to modify a
non-modifiable value.

  Thu, Sep 8th 2005 07:04

Multimedia :: Graphics
System :: Hardware

About: GAMMApage is a program to adjust a monitor's gamma setting, either
fully or by color. It is capable of setting gamma for most Linux
distributions upon login, including those using ATI fglrx_xgamma. It works
both for graphical logins or console logins. It only requires write access
to the user's home directory, not to any system directories. It includes
"preparation" tips with white and black point targets to make gamma
corrections effective. This is the pumped-up, Python/GTK version of
Monica. 

Changes: Awareness of various distributions was increased. More robust
troubleshooting messages were written in the case of the file writing
failure. Much better documentation and help facilities were written.

Communications
Information Management
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content

About: GeboGebo is a wiki system written for tdbengine. It stores all data
in a local database structure and thus provides an indexed fulltext search.
It uses a simple syntax, and has user lists, pages history, a missing pages
list, and a recent changes list. Image and file upload are possible, but
can be disabled. This allows it to work as a small document management
system. A blacklist allows you to lock existing pages from being edited or
new pages from being created. It can also be run in static mode, where all
pages are additionally held as static HTML pages.

Changes: Due to a missing subdirectory, the minihttp server could not
start before gebogebo had been running at least once on another Web server
before. This bug has been fixed. The subscriptions list did not work since
the last update. This bug is now fixed. A new CreateStaticIndex switch in
the configuration now allows decisions to be made concerning the automatic
index.html file creation.

  Thu, Sep 8th 2005 09:22

Communications
Internet
Security

About: GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple  Authentication and
Security Layer framework and  a few common SASL mechanisms. SASL is used
by  network servers such as IMAP and SMTP to request  authentication from
clients, and in clients to  authenticate against servers. The library 
includes support for the SASL framework (with  authentication functions
and application data  privacy and integrity functions) and at least 
partial support for the CRAM-MD5, EXTERNAL,  GSSAPI, ANONYMOUS, PLAIN,
SECURID, DIGEST-MD5,  LOGIN, NTLM, and KERBEROS_V5 mechanisms. 

Changes: The gsasl tool now supports STARTTLS for IMAP and SMTP using
GnuTLS. The PLAIN mechanism is preferred over LOGIN when both are
available. The --client and --server parameters for the gsasl tool now
work properly. The --client and --server stdin/stdout modes now use the
readline library. There is improved checking for libidn when the system
needs -R, -rpath, or similar. Build problems in getpass on uClibc and
Mingw32 platforms have been fixed. A Kinyarwanda translation has been
added.

  by KitiKat (http://freshmeat.net/users/kitikat/)
  Thu, Sep 8th 2005 09:24

Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks

About: The Kitikat Java Framework is a powerful but simple Datastore
processing framework. A Datastore represents an in-memory copy of data. A
program may retrieve the data from a data source, such as a relational
database, manipulate the data, and then propagate the updates of the data
back to the original data source or to a different data source. Once the
data is retrieved, it is a disconnected, data source independent version
of the data. A change history of the data is maintained to provide dynamic
updates to a data source, and there are several levels of concurrency
control provided for multi-user environments. 

Changes: This release includes the addition of a JSP tag library and a
refactored engine (SQLEngine has been added).

Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
Multimedia

About: libextractor is a library used to extract meta-data from files of
arbitrary type. It is designed to use helper-libraries to perform the
actual extraction, and to be trivially extendable by linking against
external extractors for additional file types. The goal is to provide
developers of file-sharing networks, file managers, and WWW-indexing bots
with a universal library to obtain meta-data about files. It includes a
shell-command and bindings for Java (JNI) and Python. 

Changes: This release fixed a linking problem on certain platforms. Minor
bugfixes were ported from libgsf to the OLE2 extractor. MIME types are now
detected for various Microsoft Office formats. libextractor now
automatically decompresses GZ and BZ2 files before extracting keywords,
adding support for compressed files to all formats.

offers flexible target and port specification, decoy/stealth scanning,
SunRPC scanning, and more. Most Unix and Windows platforms are supported
in both GUI and command line modes. Several popular handheld devices are
also supported, including the Sharp Zaurus and the iPAQ.

Changes: Changes in this release included ASCII art, the ability to send
and properly route raw ethernet frames, ARP scanning (for faster and more
reliable local LAN host discovery), MAC address spoofing, enormous version
detection and OS detection updates, dramatic Windows performance and
stability improvements, OS/hostname/device type detection via service
fingerprinting, dozens of bugfixes, and much more.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation

About: Pigalle (PIcture GALLEry) is a slick Web based photo album  written
in PHP 5. It makes it easy to create and maintain photo  albums via an
intuitive interface, as users need only upload their  files to a server
and let the program generate thumbnails for  them. Visitors can choose
their preferred image resolution and  images will be generated on the fly.
These generated images are  cached and all meta-information such as album
descriptions,  image information, and user settings are stored in a
database.  A back-end administration interface helps to manage the files, 
edit the descriptions, and so on, making it very easy and  convenient. 

Changes: Album from/to dates are now now stored in GMT time and shifting
is not required. Compatibility with Sourdough 0.3.2 alpha was achieved.

  Thu, Sep 8th 2005 00:13

System :: Software Distribution
System :: Software Distribution Tools
System :: Systems Administration

About: WPKG is a Samba add-on that will help distribute software to many
clients. You can easily deploy software, packages, and changes without the
need for doing this manually (going from one workstation to another). You
simply configure the software that should be installed on a given machine
or a group of machines, and next time these workstations are booted, the
software you specified is installed automatically.

Changes: Querying packages now works fully, and all /show: and /query:
will work. A /nonotify flag that gets rid of the WPKG notify window was
added along with /noreboot, which prevents the system from rebooting,
regardless of need. New, very detailed checks were provided and detailed
in packages.xml.
