by josch (http://freshmeat.net/users/hofmann/)
Tue, Sep 13th 2005 22:48
Multimedia :: Graphics
Scientific/Engineering :: Geographical
About: gipfel is a tool to find the names of mountains or points of
interest on a picture. It uses a database containing names and GPS data.
With the given viewpoint (the point from which the picture was taken) and
two known mountains on the picture, it can compute all parameters needed
to compute the positions of other mountains on the picture.
Additionally, it can try to guess these parameter if only one mountain is
known on the picture. In this case, a few other peaks need to be marked,
but it is not necessary to know their names. It can also be used to play
around with the parameters manually. But be warned: It is pretty
difficult to find the right parameters for a given picture manually.
Changes: gipfel can now display GPS-tracks. Perspective information can be
saved to the JPEG comment section. Experimental support for panorama images
has been added. The gipfel tarball now contains a default datafile with
more than 6000 entries from around the world.

mathematical formulas. It is now possible to draw equations with one or
more conditions separated by "|"="OR" or "&"="AND". Conditions can only be
used with one System (3 explicit equations) and the result is not currently
"exportable" to any file format. Hidden surface removal was implemented,
reducing CPU usage during animations by up to 35%. Nastran file format
support was added.

Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
About: MayaVi is a free, cross platform, easy-to-use scientific data
visualizer. It provides a powerful GUI to ease the visualization process.
It is written in Python and uses the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) for the
graphics. MayaVi can be scripted from other Python programs and also from
the interactive Python interpreter. MayaVi includes the VTK Pipeline
browser. The VTK Pipeline browser is a Python module (vtkPipeline) that
enables one to view and configure the objects in the VTK pipeline
graphically with a Tkinter-based GUI. The browser should work for any
Python script that uses VTK. MayaVi also provides classes to pickle a VTK
object and a simple class documentation browser.
Changes: This release added a new LUT editor, support for user defined
sources, a vorticity filter, support for the VolumeProMapper, and support
for VTK-CVS and VTK-5.x. A new utility script for searching the VTK
documentation using a GUI was included. A severe bug in opening data files
belonging to a time-series under Win32 was fixed. There were also other

Database
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
About: Metastorage is a PHP data access object generator compiler tool. It
implements an object persistence API from a description in an XML format
named CPML. The persistent object classes implement object-relational
mappings, so developers do not have to write SQL manually. It features an
object query language for specifying conditions for querying objects,
generation of classes for producing reports, generation of classes to
manage templated Web forms for creating new persistent objects, and
generation of UML class diagrams. It can be run from the command line or
from a Web interface.
Changes: This release takes advantage of the recently introduced features
of Metabase and uses auto-increment fields and primary keys to generate
new object identifiers instead of emulated sequences and unique indexes.
The generated code now also contains comments to let users better
understand what the code does. The Metastorage installation archives now
also bundle the MetaL compiler engine to make all that is necessary
available with a single download.

Tue, Sep 13th 2005 02:32
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Libraries :: Tcl Extensions
About: MIB Smithy SDK is a dynamic extension to Tcl/Tk (8.1+) that allows
development of custom scripts for controlling SNMP agents, manipulating
SMI definitions, doing conversions, and more. It is based on the core of
Muonics' MIB Smithy, and the SDK supports SMIv1 and SMIv2, as well as
SNMPv1/v2c/v3 with HMAC-SHA-96 and HMAC-MD5-96 authentication and CBC-DES
privacy. It also provides complete read-write access to all elements of
SMI/MIB Module definitions, unlike similar extensions that provide only
read access to a limited subset. The SDK allows multiple discrete SMI
databases and SNMP sessions, and provides all of the built-in validation
and error recovery capabilites of the full product, without the visual MIB
development environment.
Changes: A number of bugs were fixed after greatly expanding regression
test coverage. These were primarily in the Scotty/TNM compatibility
package, a few potential crashes in abnormal circumstances, and some
performance issues. Enhancements were made to API usage error reporting
and SNMP session management.

and ProgressBar displays the upload progress either inline or in a popup.
ProgressBar even allows users without JavaScript to see upload progress.
Changes: This is a minor bug fix release. The ProgressBar no longer stops
at 70% in browsers that don't support fractional widths, and inline
ProgressBars work properly in NamingContainers like UserControls. The
documentation has also been updated to reflect the fact that NeatUpload
doesn't yet support using LinkButtons to trigger the ProgressBar.

System :: Software Distribution
System :: Systems Administration
About: SPMS and syspatch are a useful tools to apply OpenBSD patches to a
collection of OpenBSD hosts where you don't want to have a compiler and
the src hierarchy, nor spend the time needed to compile some sources. SPMS
and syspatch are designed for admins who have more than one OpenBSD box to
administer, who work in teams, and don't want to spend time on repetitive
tasks. In case of trouble, you can revert on an applied patch. It will not
mask the process of OpenBSD patching, since you still have to build errata
on a buildhost and understand what is patched.

[071] - strongSwan 2.5.4
by Andreas Steffen (http://freshmeat.net/users/asteffen/)
Tue, Sep 13th 2005 02:29
System :: Networking
About: strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1 implementation for Linux
2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It interoperates with most other IPsec products. It
is a descendant of the discontinued FreeS/WAN project. The focus of the
strongSwan project is on strong authentication mechanisms using X.509
public key certificates and optional secure storage of private keys on
smartcards through a standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique feature is
the use of X.509 attribute certificates to implement advanced access
control schemes based on group memberships.
Changes: The current extension of the PKCS#7 framework introduced a
parsing error in PKCS#7 wrapped X.509 certificates that are, for example,
transmitted by Windows XP when multi-level CAs are used. The parsing
syntax was fixed. The system now tolerates multiple occurrences of the
ipsec0 interface when using KLIPS.

Desktop Environment :: Tools
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: SwiXAT is a Swing-based authoring tool for the quick and easy
development of GUI Java applications. It implements a true MVC framework
and uses XML to define the view (SwiXML is used as the XUL engine),
BeanShell as a scripting language for the controller, and JXPath as the
binding mechanism between the view and model. It provides a complete
environment in which it is possible to almost write an entire Java Swing
application without writing Java compiled code. The use of XPath makes it
very simple to traverse the object tree of the application's business
model.
Changes: The event handling has been enhanced by introducing the
possibility to handle almost any event. The support for FileFilters was
added in order to determine the file extensions shown by a JFileChooser.
The optional TreeCellRenderer tag was added for JTrees, in order to set
the icon, text, and tooltip text of each tree's node. The user's guide has
been updated with the documentation about the new features.

Changes: This is a security fix and minor feature release. Security
improvements from OpenSSH Portable have been merged, and a client option
for helping with cross-realm authentication has been improved.
