About: The Adobe Source Libraries (ASL) are a collection of C++ libraries
building foundation technology to allow the construction of commercial
applications by assembling generic algorithms through declarative
descriptions.
Changes: The Generic Image Library (GIL) was added. This allows for the
writing of generic imaging algorithms with performance comparable to
hand-coding for a particular image type. A GIL tutorial and design guide
are expected within a couple weeks. The libraries now compile against
Boost 1.33.1. IDE projects were added for XCode 2.2. Many improvements
were made to Adobe Begin and Win32's ui_core. A significant overhaul of
adobe::forest was made.

Fri, Jan 6th 2006 08:01
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Widget Sets
About: The Cross Platform Toolkit Library(xtklib) is a C++ based framework
for highly object-oriented cross-platform programming. In particular, the
library provides a full abstraction layer between its API and the main
services offered by the underlying operating system (threads, processes,
GUI, filesystem, etc.) plus a set of generic utilities (strings, data
structures, etc.).It makes full use of all features of C++ like RTTI,
templates, and exceptions, thus obtaining a strongly object-oriented
design with a Java-like sensation. The library is composed of two main
modules: "Base" and "Widgets". The target operating systems are Windows
and Unix (Linux and BSD) with a plan to move towards other systems.
Changes: This is the first release with a working "Widgets" module,
although it has only basic features. This release is provided for testing
and development only.

by mariuz (http://freshmeat.net/users/mariuz/)
Fri, Jan 6th 2006 03:47
Database :: API
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: JayBird is JCA/JDBC driver suite for connecting to Firebird
database servers. It was based on Borland's InterClient JDBC driver and
uses the new JCA standard, which specifies an architecture in which an
application server can cooperate with a driver so that the application
server manages transactions, security, and resource pooling, and the
driver supplies only the connection functionality. It also supports JDBC.
Changes: Fyracle support was removed, as it will be shipped separately
with Fyracle.

Fri, Jan 6th 2006 04:24
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. It also aims to support as many distributions as possible. It's
more like debmirror, but with more distros (repo types) support. 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.
Changes: A bug in the smart database download in the Urpmi driver that
prevented the tool from being able to make a Mandrake distribution mirror
was fixed. Additional examples were included in the config file. Debian,
Red Hat, Fedora Core, Mandrake, and SuSE packages are now available.

Changes: Dramatic speed-ups in chord teaching and recognition, a new scale
recognizer, support for distinguishing modes, a slightly more robust MIDI
input demo, and refactoring to avoid code duplication and use Python
new-style classes. The serialization to XML was removed as it was not
useful and didn't work with new-style classes. Many bugfixes were made.

by Adrian Thurston (http://freshmeat.net/users/age/)
Fri, Jan 6th 2006 11:05
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: Ragel compiles finite state machines from regular languages into C,
C++, Objective-C, or D code. It allows the programmer to embed actions at
any point in a regular language and to control non-determinism in the
resulting machines. It understands concatenation, union, kleene star,
subtraction, intersection, epsilon transitions, and various other common
operators. Through the use of labels and epsilon transitions, Ragel
supports the building of state machines using a named state and associated
transition list paradigm. Its finite state machines are closed under all of
its operators. This property allows for arbitrary regular languages to be
described. It can be used to create a parser for any language that is
regular.
Changes: The user guide was made current. This includes many fixes and new
sections covering topics relevant to version 4 and 5. Several programs in
the examples directory were updated and improved.

About: rdup is a utility inspired by rsync and the Plan9 way of doing
backups. rdup itself does not backup anything; it only prints a list of
the names of files that have changed since the last backup. Auxilary
scripts are needed to act on this list and implement the backup strategy.
This way rdup can be kept lean and mean.

[064] - Task Coach 0.54
by Frank Niessink (http://freshmeat.net/users/fniessink/)
Fri, Jan 6th 2006 16:44
Office/Business :: Scheduling
About: Task Coach is a simple todo manager to manage personal tasks and
todo lists. It grew out of a frustration that well-known task managers,
such as those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not provide
facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things to do
consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with
composite tasks.
Changes: This release fixes several bugs. The accelerators INSERT and
Ctrl+INSERT were mapped to 'c' and 'Command-Copy' on the Mac, which caused
Task Coach to create a new task whenever the user typed a 'c'. It was
possible to enter control characters -- by copy and pasting -- resulting
in invalid XML in the Task Coach file. This release also adds one
experimental feature: Effort can be exported as an iCalendar (ICS) file
and imported into e.g. Mozilla Sunbird.

[069] - Vobcopy 0.5.16
by robos (http://freshmeat.net/users/robos/)
Fri, Jan 6th 2006 03:30
Multimedia :: Video :: Capture
Multimedia :: Video :: Conversion
System :: Archiving :: Backup
About: Vobcopy copies DVD .vob files to hard disk (thanks to libdvdread),
decrypting them on the way (if libdvdcss is installed) and merges them
into 2 GB files (or larger) with the name extracted from the DVD. It
checks for enough free space on the destination drive and compares the
copied size to the size on DVD (in case something went wrong during the
copying). It can also mirror a whole DVD video part and copy single files.
Changes: Some code was added to make -n and -m mutually exclusive. The
size checking code with -m was fixed. When using -m, files that exist can
now optionally be skipped. DVDs with files ending in ";?" should now work.

[072] - x10 0.2.0
by Christian Grothoff (http://freshmeat.net/users/grothoff/)
Fri, Jan 6th 2006 03:38
Scientific/Engineering
Software Development
Software Development :: Compilers
About: X10 is a type-safe, modern, parallel, distributed object-oriented
language intended to be very easily accessible to Java programmers. It is
targeted to future low-end and high-end systems with nodes that are built
out of multi-core SMP chips with non-uniform memory hierarchies, and
interconnected in scalable cluster configurations. X10 highlights the
explicit reification of locality in the form of places; lightweight
activities embodied in async, future, foreach, and ateach constructs;
constructs for termination detection and phased computation; the use of
lock-free synchronization; and the manipulation of global arrays and data
structures.
Changes: This release focused on improving type system support and added
generics in the style of Scala, flow-sensitive verification, and improved
support for nullable. New features included passing of command-line
options to X10 programs and static fields and initializers.
