[001] - ARSCIF 1.0.4
by Sebastiano Vigna (http://freshmeat.net/users/vigna/)
Sat, Jan 21st 2006 16:32
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: Asynchronous remote-script callback invocation (a.k.a. remote
scripting) is a technique by which ECMAScript code in a browser can
connect to a server without reloading a page. Remote callback invocation
allows you to create pages with sophisticated, dynamic features. ARSCIF is
a powerful framework that makes it trivial to use this technique. It helps
the developer by working out problems such as data and character encoding,
concurrency control, browser implementations, and so on.
Changes: This release fixes global variables in the PHP backend. The
documentation about canonical object literals has been clarified.

[026] - SrcControl 0.1.1a
by Brad Cable (http://freshmeat.net/users/Aeiri/)
Sat, Jan 21st 2006 04:36
System :: Software Distribution
System :: Software Distribution Tools
Utilities
About: SrcControl is a new form of package management system. It doesn't
have a centralized package repository and packages don't have the actual
data for the program it installs. What a package, or "source package",
contains is information required to locate and properly download, extract,
configure, compile, and install the newest version from the Internet.
Source packages don't have a specific version, but rather a date that
corresponds to when they were last updated. With the structure that source
packages take, this means that package repositories only need to store
about 4KB for each program, and packages only need to be updated whenever
the site layout is changed. Another benefit is that a source package can
be created for any program that distributes its software through the
Internet.
