[002] - AFD 1.3.1
by Holger Kiehl (http://freshmeat.net/users/hkiehl/)
Thu, Dec 15th 2005 22:53
Communications
Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
System :: Systems Administration
About: AFD is a program to automatically distribute files either locally
or to remote hosts. The files are distributed by using FTP or SMTP, and
can be sent in parallel and with priority. It provides a GUI to monitor
and control the distribution and extensive logging of all activities.
Changes: A problem where files that had dates in the future where deleted
immediatly when age-limit option was set was fixed. When sending HTTP
request, the header may not contain empty lines. The locking error which
allowed jobs to be handled twice was corrected. When opening the job
details window it will only resize this window and not afd_ctrl window.
The speed was increased for initial visualizing of afd_ctrl and mon_ctrl
dialog. An option to set the default SMTP server and From: line was added
in AFD_CONFIG.

Software Development :: Libraries
About: AqBanking is a modular and generic interface to online banking
tasks, financial file formats (import/export) and bank/country/currency
information. It provides frontends for Qt, KDE, GTK, and console.
AqBanking uses backend plugins to actually perform the online tasks. HBCI,
OFX Direct Connect, and DTAUS discs are currently supported. AqBanking is
used by GnuCash, KMyMoney, and QBankManager.
Changes: This release fixes some network problems and cleans up the build
system. It allows you to choose the transfer mode independently for
transfer orders and debit notes.

[004] - Asymptote 0.97
by John Bowman (http://freshmeat.net/users/jcbowman/)
Thu, Dec 15th 2005 02:04
Education
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
Scientific/Engineering
About: Asymptote is a powerful descriptive 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. Asymptote is a programming language as
opposed to just a graphics program. It can 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: A MetaPost-like makepen function that allows the pen nib to be
changed to a polygonal (possibly nonconvex) cyclic path was added. A
unitsize argument was added to shipout. Three-dimensional lighting effects
were added and illustrated with the Gouraud shading of a sphere. The
MidArrow attribute was fixed. Built-in functions now have named arguments.
Brackets are now part of the quote syntax. The write command was
generalized to allow writing a list of vectors as columns. The -noView
command was replaced by -nView or -no View. Several segmentation faults
were fixed. Custom axis types were documented.

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: The default number of slot addresses per shelf address is now 16,
in accordance with the AoE driver in 2.6.14. A new aoe-revalidate command
uses the new "revalidate" feature in the AoE driver, allowing online
devices to change size.

which eliminates the need for FTP access. BarracudaDrive allows the user
to upload, download, and manage files securely on a home computer from
anywhere in the world. BarracudaDrive also bypasses firewalls and proxies
since the communication protocol is HTTPS. The communication is protected
by using SSL, so no one can eavesdrop on your file transfer.
Changes: A real-time browser-based chat server and DHTML client have been
added.

Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: DirIndexFaker is a PHP script designed to produce fake Apache
directory listings for the purpose of slowing down and overloading with
false positives the Web spiders used by the RIAA, MPAA, etc.
Changes: This release adds the ability to slow down RIAA/MPAA bots with a
usleep call. This is enabled by default, but can be disabled by commenting
out a line at the top of index.php. The bottom row has been fixed to make
server info match the actual server version running on your host. The
random seed has been changed so that filenames/sizes will only change once
a day. This makes it harder to detect as a 'fake'.

Thu, Dec 15th 2005 06:47
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
Database :: Front-Ends
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
About: ELOG Electronic Web Logbook is an electronic logbook with a Web
interface. It can be used to maintain personal or shared logbooks, with
the ability to add attachments to logbook pages. Logbook entries can be
categorized with user-defined classes, and queried using filters on these
classes. Automatic email notifications can be generated on new entries
based on the classes. The ELOG server is a small stand-alone C program,
which runs under Linux and Windows. No other packages are required. The
logbooks are saved in plain ASCII files for easy and fast access.
Changes: The major new feature is the introduction of the ELCode tags.
They are similar to the well known BBCode tags, and let you format an elog
entry. It is now also possible to embed inline images in an elog entry,
which are then sent embedded in the email notification. The code
management software has been switched from CVS to Subversion, which has
the advantage that one can subscribe to new revisions via RSS and easily
obtain a tar ball from the current revision.

pola-run, a command line tool, and a Bash-like shell for interactive use.
Plash does not require a modified kernel, and it works with Linux
executables, provided they are dynamically linked.
Changes: This release introduces a patch to Gtk that changes
GtkFileChooserDialog to use Plash's powerbox. This provides a mechanism,
transparent to the user, for granting Gtk applications access to specific
files, so that users do not need to trust the application with access to
all of their files. A number of issues have been fixed so that Konqueror
and Gnumeric are able to run under the Plash environment. The Plash shell
has been renamed to "pola-shell", to distinguish it from the rest of
Plash's components.

Software Development :: Build Tools
System :: Software Distribution Tools
Utilities
About: Pre Make Kit (PMK) aims to be a BSD alternative to GNU autoconf,
GNU libtool, and pkg-config. It uses data files instead of scripts to
limit the spreading of trojans in software packages. It's designed to be
easy to use for users and developers. For better portability and
efficiency, all of the components are written in C. Requirements are a
POSIX system, a C compiler, a POSIX shell, and a make tool.
Changes: This release has a lot of improvements in pmkscan, and adds
advanced tag support in both pmk and pmkscan.

[063] - pretrace 0.4
by Rob Holland - Inverse Path
(http://freshmeat.net/users/inversepathrob/)
Thu, Dec 15th 2005 06:54
Software Development :: Bug Tracking
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
Software Development :: Testing
About: pretrace is a preload library that allows specified (dynamically
linked) applications to always be executed under a debugging environment.
pretrace allows you to specify the percentage of invocations which will be
traced, to help you "keep an eye" on applications without bringing the
machine to its knees.
Changes: Faster application lookups were added by using a map file instead
of parsing the config file each time. Percentage code was added so that
every invocation does not have to be traced.

it emulates a full system, including a processor and various
peripherials.
Changes: Many bugfixes related to 64 bit emulation, MIPS fixes, and better
performance.

[074] - System Configuration Collector 1.6.32 (Stable)
by siem (http://freshmeat.net/users/scholtz/)
Thu, Dec 15th 2005 00:11
System :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration
Utilities
About: System Configuration Collector (SCC) is yet another configuration
collector. It consists of a client and a server part. The client collects
configuration data in a structured snapshot, compares the new snapshot
with the previous one, and adds differences to a logbook. Then the
snapshot and the logbook are converted to HTML for local inspection.
Optionally, the data can be sent to a system running the server software.
On the server, summaries of the data are generated, and search/compare
operations on the snapshots and logbooks are available via a Web
interface.
Changes: This release featured extensions and corrections for AIX and SuSe
and several corrections in the produced HTML files. Comparison of snapshots
was moved to a separate program, which is also used in the server part. The
copyright notice was changed.
