[001] - /etc/net Scripts 0.7.14
by Pilot (http://freshmeat.net/users/infrastation/)
Thu, Sep 29th 2005 14:47
System :: Boot :: Init
System :: Networking
System :: Systems Administration
About: /etc/net represents a new approach to Linux network configuration
tasks. Inspired by the limitations of traditional configuration
subsystems, /etc/net provides builtin support for configuration profiles,
interface name management, removable device support, full iproute2 command
set support, interface dependency resolution, and a QoS configuration
framework. /etc/net provides support for the following interface types:
Ethernet, WiFi (WEP), IPv6/IPv6 tunnels, PSK IPSec tunnels, VLAN, PLIP,
Ethernet bonding and bridging, traffic equalizer, Pent@NET, usbnet, and
PPP. Due to its modular design, support for new interface types can be
added without overall design changes.
Changes: This release features bugfixes for bonding and interface
dependencies code, a new NEVER_RMMOD option to workaround 2.6 kernel
problems, and a new command 'switchfrom' to allow switching from the
specified profile to the default configuration.

[004] - Asymptote 0.88
by John Bowman (http://freshmeat.net/users/jcbowman/)
Thu, Sep 29th 2005 00:50
Education
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
Scientific/Engineering
About: Asymptote is a powerful script-based vector graphics language for
technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like
syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting
that LaTeX does for scientific text. It is a programming language as
opposed to just a graphics program, allowing it to exploit the best
features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI)
methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language
itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
Changes: The graph routines were overhauled to support three- dimensional
axes. A fuzz parameter was added to the intersect routines, which now also
work for points. Data file comments were implemented. The perpendicular
routine now uses an alignment argument; scale(pair) was removed. An option
was added to asymptote.sty to make all LaTeX symbols visible, along with a
second optional string to Label for providing a size estimate for
undefined labels. Numerous small bugs were fixed. The installation and
instructions were improved. An environment variable for every external
command was added.

[005] - ATA over Ethernet driver 14 (For Linux 2.6)
by Ed Cashin at Coraid (http://freshmeat.net/users/ecashinCoraid/)
Thu, Sep 29th 2005 08:18
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Archiving :: Mirroring
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: This driver allows the Linux kernel to use the ATA over Ethernet
(AoE) network protocol. Using AoE, a Linux system can use AoE block
devices like EtherDrive (R) storage blades. The block devices appear as
local device nodes (e.g. /dev/etherd/e0.0).
Changes: Compatibility with Linux 2.6.13 and later kernels was added. The
driver now works around the e1000 bug by using packets no smaller than 60
bytes, and packet data is now explicitly zeroed. The aoetools version 7 is
now bundled with this driver.

[012] - DiffJ 1.0.5
by Jeff Pace (http://freshmeat.net/users/JEugenePace/)
Thu, Sep 29th 2005 06:46
Software Development
About: DiffJ is a commandline application that compares Java files based
on content, not whitespace, comments, or reordering of types, methods, or
fields. Its output is based on the Unix program diff, and it also has a
"brief" output format for a concise summary of what changed. It can work
on directories recursively, looking for matching filenames, like "diff -r
dir0 dir1". It is primarily for developers refactoring and reformatting
Java code, for which most difference tools tend to produce misleading
results regarding the type and extent of changes.
Changes: A significant performance improvement was made for large files.

GeoServer or one of the existing commercial Web Feature Servers. It is
built as a thin layer on top of the excellent GeoTools2 GIS toolkit, and
includes a STRUTs-based Web administration interface for easy
configuration.
Changes: The big improvement is a MapPreview interface based on MapBuilder
to instantly visualize the layers deployed. Shapefile is now an output
format for the WFS, and GIF support is much improved. SLD labeling has
advanced and Like filters for the WFS are much faster with PostGIS and
Oracle. A number of bugs have also been fixed in Oracle support.

Thu, Sep 29th 2005 06:01
Games/Entertainment
About: poker-eval is a C library to evaluate poker hands. The result of
the evaluation for a given hand is a number. The general idea is that if
the evalution of your hand is lower than the evaluation of the hand of
your opponent, you lose. Many poker variants are supported (Draw, Holdem,
Omaha, etc.) and more can be added. It is designed for speed so that it
can be used within poker simulation software using either exhaustive
exploration or Monte Carlo.
Changes: Portability and test fixes were made.

[039] - ruQueue 1.2
by John Fulton (http://freshmeat.net/users/jfulton/)
Thu, Sep 29th 2005 11:29
Information Management :: Issue Tracking
About: ruQueue is Rutgers University's queue-based problem ticket tracking
system. The typical ruQueue use-case would be: an end user calls the Help
Desk with an issue; a consultant creates a ticket describing the issue;
the ticket is placed in a queue appropriate for the issue; the watcher of
the queue is then notified of the ticket; the watcher resolves the issue,
contacts the end user, and the ticket is then closed. It has a variety of
features to help you solve your problems in the above queue-based style.

Thu, Sep 29th 2005 13:57
About: s11n ("serialization") is a C++ library for easily serializing a
wide variety of objects, including PODs, STL containers, and user-defined
Serializable types. It is completely data-format agnostic and currently
supports 7 data formats, including three XML dialects and one
MySQL-powered back-end. Its author, with atypical hubris, truly believes
s11n to be the most advanced, most flexible, simplest-to-use, and utterly
most powerful serialization framework ever implemented in C++.
Changes: A complete rewrite of exceptions support. The library now offers
many exceptions guarantees that weren't previously possible. Many functors
have been added to help support functional programming approaches to
serialization.

Thu, Sep 29th 2005 11:08
Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Security
About: SSL Proxy server listens on a TCP port, accepts SSL connections,
and forwards them to another local or remote TCP port. For example, it is
possible to create an HTTPS server if you have an HTTP server and you run
an SSL Proxy server on port 443 which forwards the connections to port 80.
SSL Proxy's design makes it as secure as possible and still perform well.
Changes: Improved certificate handling (chained certificates are now
supported), more error information on SSL protocol errors during
SSL_accept(), -U and -D options (buffer size), and a "powered by" logo.

Thu, Sep 29th 2005 00:33
Printing
System :: Archiving
System :: Logging
About: Tea4CUPS is similar in functionality to the *nix command "tee", but
in the form of a CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) backend. Tea4CUPS
captures a print job's data in their final form while they are being sent
to a printer (more precisely, to a CUPS backend), and at the same time
allows you to dispatch these data to any number of commands.
Changes: A filter can now be defined for each print queue in order to
post-process a CUPS filtering chain's output before the print job data is
managed by Tea4CUPS. The ability to launch any command in the event that
the real CUPS backend fails was added. Several bugs were fixed.

Office/Business
About: VMT (formerly Vehicle Maintenance Tracker) tracks the maintenance
of multiple properties. Property can include vehicles, boats, planes,
buildings, etc. This project is comparible to Auto-Do-It. Since this
program uses Java, it is cross-platform.
Changes: This release modifies the GUI slightly by moving the menu
commands for subwindows from the parent window to the subwindow, as well
as the preferences interface. The bug where all properties with an image
showed only the first properties image has been resolved (users need to
reload images, though). There have been minor tweaks with interoperability
between subwindows, such as any fuel and maintenance modifications will
immediately update the maintenance monitor. In addition, the code has been
reorganized.
