Software Development :: Documentation
System

About: The Heirloom Documentation Tools provide troff, nroff, and related
utilities to format manual pages and other documents for output on
terminals and printers. They are portable and enhanced versions of the
respective OpenSolaris utilities, which descend from ditroff and the
historical Unix troff. troff provides advanced typographical features such
as kerning, tracking, and hanging characters. It can access PostScript Type
1, OpenType, and TrueType fonts directly. Internationalized hyphenation,
international paper sizes, and UTF-8 input are supported. 

Changes: troff requests to control the availability of warnings, to write
messages to separate files, and to read the output of a command from a
pipe are now available. Warnings for many conditions have been introduced.
The new ".mediasize" request instructs dpost to include information about
the page size in the generated PostScript for more convenient creation of
PDF documents. Hours, minutes, and seconds of the current time are now
available in number registers. Facilities to disable the shell escapes of
troff, nroff, pic, and grap have been introduced.

Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes

About: HTTP client is a PHP class to make HTTP requests. It can submit
requests via a proxy server, establish secure connections (HTTPS) via a
proxy server, PHP with OpenSSL support, or the Curl library with optional
SSL client certificates. It supports HTTP authentication directly or via
proxy using the SASL library, like HTTP Basic, HTTP Digest, and NTLM
(Windows or Samba). It submits POST requests with user-defined form
values, file uploading, or with user-defined request bodies. It retrieves
the HTTP response headers and body data separately. It handles cookies and
automatic redirection handling. 

Changes: A couple of bugs were fixed in cookie handling to correctly deal
with cookie domains that start with a dot and to properly encode cookie
values sent to the HTTP server. The class can now be used to successfully
login in Friendster.

  Mon, Dec 12th 2005 23:14

Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
Software Development :: Testing

About: Jameleon is an automated testing framework that can be used by
technical and non-technical users alike. One of the main concepts behind
it is to create a group of keywords or tags that represent different
screens of an application. All of the logic required to automate each
particular screen can be defined in Java and mapped to these keywords. The
keywords can then be organized with different data sets to form test
scripts without requiring an in-depth knowledge of how the application
works. The test scripts are then used to automate testing efforts and to
generate manual test case documentation.

Changes: Better debugging for data-driven tags, a sessionDelay to all
session tags, and some minor HttpUnit plug-in features were added. Nested
frames support for the Jiffie plug-in, hidden form field tags, and several
other minor fixes and features were also included in this release.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: JSON-RPC-Java provides an RPC implementation that allows JavaScript
DHTML Web applications to call remote methods in a Java Application Server
(AJAX functionality) without the need for page reloading. It is an enabler
for the next generation of fast and highly dynamic enterprise Java Web
applications. Minimal changes (if any) are necessary to existing
server-side Java code to allow calling from JavaScript (such as the
marshalling and unmarshalling of special types), as JSON-RPC-Java
dynamically maps JavaScript objects to and from Java objects using Java
reflection.

Changes: The manual was updated with documentation for References and
LocalArgResolvers. Javadoc updates were made. Clustering support was added
along with a ErrorInvocation callback interface. Bugs in the JSON-RPC
JavaScript client were fixed.

Desktop Environment :: K Desktop Environment (KDE)
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Writing

About: K3b is a CD and DVD burning application for Linux systems optimized
for KDE. It provides a comfortable user interface to perform most CD/DVD
burning tasks, such as creating an audio CD from a set of audio files or
copying a CD. While the experienced user can influence all steps of the
burning process, the beginner may find comfort in the automatic settings
and the reasonable defaults which allow a quick start. The actual burning
is done by the command line utilities cdrecord, cdrdao, and growisofs.

Changes: A new ALSA audio output plugin was added. Problems with filenames
ending in backslashes was fixed. Verification problems with localized
characters were fixed. Error handling was added for incorrectly encoded
filenames. A newly installed version of an external application is
automatically used at the next K3b start. A completely new set of K3b
action icons were added for project types and tools. Text is shown on the
burn button to make it catch the eye. Support for media:// URLs was added
in the Image writing dialogs. Problems with files bigger than 2 GB on some
systems were fixed.

lets the enemy block ways much better and fixes the use of improper
pathes), new weather types to reflect different air/ground conditions as
in PG (like rain with dry ground), adjusted weather for all scenarios,
artilleries provide defensive fire at full strength, parachutists like in
PG (may select drop zone, may drift, and may not move in the same turn),
more stable saved games, and other fixes and enhancements.

About: Libcfgparse is a small set of routines that parse and provide
simple access to data stored in configuration files. The configuration
file is kept in a syntax similar to C. The aim is to make it as simple and
convenient as possible to access the configuration data, while maintaining
utmost flexibility with respect to how the data is organized. It allows
the data to be stored in a structured (multi-layer) way, to define types,
to perform strict syntax checking and to also parse data directly from
memory. The library comes with interfaces for C, C++, and Python.

Changes: The configuration file parser has been heavily reworked. This
allows users to define complex nested lists and record structures, and to
pre-declare values for simple variable types.

  Mon, Dec 12th 2005 16:47

Security

About: A powerbox is just like a normal file chooser dialog box, except
that it dynamically grants the application the right to access the file
that the user picks. This helps provide security because the application
can be run without needing access to all the user's files.
Powerbox-for-Gtk patches Gtk to replace GtkFileChooserDialog with a
powerbox. It is based on Plash, which provides a restricted execution
environment on Linux.

Changes: This is the first release of the Gtk patch. It works using an
LD_PRELOADed library. It has only been tested with a couple of Gtk
programs so far.

[056] - psync 0.2.2 
  by Marcos Dione (http://freshmeat.net/users/StyXman/)
  Mon, Dec 12th 2005 16:52

Internet
System :: Archiving :: Mirroring
Utilities

About: psync is a distribution mirroring utility. Its main goal is to be
able to update a distribution mirror but keep it as consistent as
possible. One of the main problems updating a mirror is that if the
mirroring process is stopped for any reason, the mirror stays
inconsistent: either some of the packages in the old databases were
removed or not all the new packages were downloaded. psync aims to fix
this. It also aims to support as many distributions as possible.

Changes: This release can send email with a summary of the updates
(filenames only for now). There are two new options to handle the address
to where the email is sent and the subject. A 'dry-run' option has been
added. It downloads the new databases and processes them, but doesn't
download any packages or update the databases.

  Mon, Dec 12th 2005 14:38

Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Libraries :: Ruby Modules
System :: Archiving

About: Rant is a flexible build tool. The equivalent to a Makefile for
make is the Rantfile, which is actually a valid Ruby script that is read
in by the rant command. It currently features automated testing,
packaging, and RDoc generation for Ruby applications and libraries,
creation of gzipped tar and zip archives on all supported platforms
without additional software, recognition of file changes based on MD5
checksums, dependency checking for C/C++ source files (makedepend is not
required), and more. It can generate a script tailored to the needs of a
specific project, which can be used instead of an Rant installation so
that users aren't dependent on Rant.

Changes: The FileList class is usable as a "normal" Ruby library now. This
release also circumvents a bug in the YAML library of Ruby 1.8.3, which
caused invalid RubyGem packages.

[064] - Slam-Edit 3.0.4 
  by Mike Stabenfeldt (http://freshmeat.net/users/stabie/)
  Mon, Dec 12th 2005 15:05

Scientific/Engineering :: Electronic Design Automation (EDA)

About: Slam is a mature IC Layout editor with the ability to edit very
large designs (such as stream files larger than 10GB). Novel features
include threading for redraw, support for displaying on multiple X servers
simultaneously, and a Tcl interface to the database for user extensibility.
The system is a library based system with multi-user support. Programmable
structures (P-Cells) are available in Tcl. The editor includes gds input
and output. 

Changes: This release adds changes to support embedding the editor into
other programs, allowing third parties to use slam to view layout and then
overlay information such as yield data over the layout. Performance
enhancements include reducing VM between 5 to 10%. As an example, a 12.5
GB stream file now requires 5.8GB of memory instead of the previous 6.6GB.
When exiting, the software can capture window positions/cells open, so you
can restart the software the same way you exited. A new script is
available that can add a prefix to all cells in a stream file to avoid
name collisions.
