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 a fix for an 0.8.0-specific bug that broke
processing of most configuration files.

Database :: API
Database :: Front-Ends
Information Management
About: Achievo ATK is an object oriented Web-application framework. It is
targeted at developers who wish to focus on business logic instead of
coding HTML. Where other application frameworks mainly provide a large set
of utility classes, ATK provides a complete framework that requires only
small amounts of code to get usable applications, while maintaining full
flexibility. In other words, even 10 lines of code get you a working
application, but everything that is generated for you can be completely
customized.
Changes: The CSV export feature was significantly improved. Extended
sorting functionality for admin pages was added. A new atkCountryAttribute
for selecting (ISO) countries was added, New flags for atkNode and several
attributes were added, A new preDelete trigger to act on record deletes
before they happen was added. There are many other enhancements and
bugfixes.

[007] - AIM Sniff 1.0beta
by Shawn Grimes (http://freshmeat.net/users/grimessh/)
Mon, Jan 23rd 2006 10:39
Communications :: Chat :: AOL Instant Messenger
Security
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: AIM Sniff is a utility for monitoring and archiving AIM and MSN
messages across a network. It can be used to monitor for cases of
harassment or warez trading. It has the ability to do a live dump
(actively sniff the network) or read a PCAP file and parse the file for IM
messages. You also have the option of dumping the information to a MySQL
database or STDOUT. AIM Sniff will also monitor for an IM login and then
perform an SMB lookup on the originating computer in order to match NT
Domain names with IM login names (handles).
Changes: Several bugfixes from the alpha release are included, as well as
a few feature enhancements. Daemon mode is now working, and there is a
feature to not use a handles file (useful when using the software behind a
NAT). In addition, the install will prompt for MySQL admin credentials for
creating the database. Issues with the MSN message types crashing the DB
and connections to the DB timing out after a period of time have been
fixed. Also fixed is "noise" from database SQL statements.

[008] - AKFQuiz 4.2.0
by Andreas K. Foerster (http://freshmeat.net/users/AKFoerster/)
Mon, Jan 23rd 2006 14:11
Education
About: The AKFQuiz package lets you easily make your own quiz games or
learning exercises. These can be used either with grquiz in a graphical
environment (SDL), with crtquiz on a text terminal, or with diaquiz in a
GUI environment. There is also a line oriented variant, linequiz, which
can be used as a backend. A CGI-variant can be installed on a Web server
to offer exercises via the Web. A mkquiz tool that generates an HTML file
for to use with the JavaScript akfquiz5.js is also included. Those can
then be published with any Web-space provider.
Changes: The search algorithm to locate quizfiles has been changed. mkquiz
saves the quiz in the HTML file in a way that the HTML file can still be
used as a normal quiz file. The author, translator, etc. are shown at the
top of the HTML file. There are new keywords: "license:" and
"licenseURI:". It is easier to exchange the background image for grquiz
(must be recompiled). There are some other minor fixes and improvements.

[014] - C++ Regex Engine 1.03
by unr_stuart (http://freshmeat.net/users/unr_stuart/)
Mon, Jan 23rd 2006 10:44
Text Processing
About: C++ Regex Engine provides a robust regular expression library for
use in C++. The syntax of the regular expression language is very close to
the Perl 5 standard. The classes given somewhat mirror those found in
Java's regular expression library, but have several improvements. The
intended audience of this package is anyone who does a lot of data parsing
(e.g. sysadmins), people tired of trying to decipher Perl scripts, and
regular expression beginners who know C++. Some knowledge of the STL's
vector and string will come in handy, but isn't necessary.
Changes: This release fixes critical bugs dealing with non-capturing
groups and backreferences in patterns.

Mon, Jan 23rd 2006 10:42
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Chemistry
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
About: Fityk is nonlinear curve-fitting and data analysis software. It
allows data visualization, separation of overlapping peaks, and least
squares fitting using standard Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, a genetic
algorithm, or Nelder-Mead simplex method. It only knows about common
bell-shaped functions (Gaussian, Loretzian, Pearson 7, Voigt,
Pseudo-Voigt) and polynomials, but more sophisticated formulae can be
easily added if necessary. It also enables background substracting, data
calibration, and task automation with a simple script language. It is
being developed to analyze powder diffraction patterns, but is also used
in chromatography, photoluminescence, infrared, and Raman spectroscopy,
and can be used to fit analytical functions to any kind of data. The most
similar program to Fityk is probably PeakFit.
Changes: The syntax used in the program has completely changed. New
built-in functions (e.g., bifurcated Gaussian) have been added. The powder
diffraction module has been temporarily disabled.

Multimedia :: Graphics
Text Processing :: Fonts
About: FONTpage is a Python font viewing/image-generating utility. It
displays system fonts and allows you to change the font size and color,
background color, font face, bold, and italics. It also has the ability to
input the text to be displayed, which you can choose to save as a PNG file.
It is handy to view fonts and styles quickly, or to make "logo" graphics.
There are source code, binary, and Slackware packages available.
Changes: This release saves the last settings between sessions. It starts
up using the last font, font-size, foreground and background colors, and
custom text, as well as remembering where the last directory images were
saved and the last directory from which a font was installed (so that
those directories are used as a start point for the next time those
dialogs appear.) Graphics have been tweaked and the code cleaned up,
making the app smaller and faster.

by le petit fou (http://freshmeat.net/users/lefou/)
Mon, Jan 23rd 2006 16:16
Desktop Environment :: K Desktop Environment (KDE)
Utilities
About: KThinkBat is a laptop battery monitor for the KDE-Kicker. It is
inspired by the "Battery Maximizer" included with Levono (former IBM)
ThinkPads. Although there are allready some battery monitor applications
for the K-Desktop Environment, they ar mostly too small to see the current
battery charge at a glance. Features include display of current battery
strength as a percentage, and visually as a gauge, display of the current
online/offline state, and display of current power consumption. It has
support for a second battery. On ThinkPads, it can use the SMAPI BIOS
interface.
Changes: This release bings support for the KConfig XT system. It fixes a
very annoying bug with local variables that prevented all ACPI fuel
states/values from showing the correct values if using the proc interface.

[034] - libpmsort 0.2
by mww (http://freshmeat.net/users/mww42/)
Mon, Jan 23rd 2006 15:03
Software Development :: Libraries
About: libpmsort provides a parallel merge-sort algorithm that is
interface compatible with qsort(3). If the compare function is
thread-safe, you may easily swap qsort with pmsort. Though merge-sort
itself is slower then quicksort on average, utilizing multiple CPUs or
waiting in parallel for I/O can speed up the sorting tremendously.
Changes: This release fixes a silly compile error. It adds a
benchmark/test program. The Benchmark compares qsort(3), mergesort(3), and
pmsort(3) sorting arrays of integers, floats, and doubles. The array size
can be parametrized, as can be the number of threads used by pmsort(3).
Preliminary tests on a 4x PPC970 yield an edge of rougly 200% of pmsort
over mergesort.

System :: Boot
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: Linux graphical bootsplash allows you to use custom graphics during
early system startup. It makes it possible to place a nice graphic behind
or above the kernel boot messages. It hooks into the fbcon layer and, if
activated, searches the initial ramdisk for a JPEG picture to show. On any
output operations to the console, it takes care of painting a margin around
your text and a background picture behind the text with a set of special
cfb functions.

stylesheet customizations of layout.
Changes: The installer now has better platform/settings detection for
SuSE, Gentoo, and Mandriva. There is a new data export called grouped
frequency table. There is a new TOKENAUTH authentication mechanism. The
SECURITY tag has been modularized into subtags. A survey can now be
navigated using only the keyboard. The PASSWORD setting in the data module
should now work. The layout engine has been reworked, and is now based on
templates. A Dutch translation has been added. Mod_perl 2.0.x is now

About: Moodss is a modular monitoring application, which supports
operating systems (Linux, UNIX, Windows, etc.), databases (MySQL, Oracle,
PostgreSQL, DB2, ODBC, etc.), networking (SNMP, Apache, etc.), and any
device or process for which a module can be developed (in Tcl, Python,
Perl, Java, and C). An intuitive GUI with full drag'n'drop support allows
the construction of dashboards with graphs, pie charts, etc., while the
thresholds functionality includes warning by emails and user defined
scripts. Any part of the visible data can be archived in an SQL database
by both the GUI and the companion daemon, so that complete history over
time can be made available from Web pages, common spreadsheet software,
etc.
Changes: A predictor tool was added which, using sophisticated statistical
methods and artificial neural networks, can predict the future behavior of
data cells from their history recorded in the SQL database (ideal for
capacity planning). The MySQL modules were made compatible with the server
version 5 series. Other minor improvements and bugfixes are also included.

Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking
About: strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1 implementation for Linux
2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It interoperates with most other IPsec-based VPN
products. It is a descendant of the discontinued FreeS/WAN project. The
focus of the strongSwan project is on strong authentication mechanisms
using X.509 public key certificates and optional secure storage of private
keys on smartcards through a standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique
feature is the use of X.509 attribute certificates to implement advanced
access control schemes based on group memberships.
Changes: The fast IPSec starter was completed and now supports recursive
includes using the also keyword. This makes modular structuring of the

[060] - Suspend2 2.2 (2.6 Stable)
by Nigel Cunningham (http://freshmeat.net/users/ncunningham/)
Mon, Jan 23rd 2006 15:53
System :: Boot
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
System :: Power (UPS)
About: Suspend2 allows you to hibernate your machine without needing APM,
BIOS, or ACPI support. It creates an image that is saved in your active
swap partitions, swap files, ordinary files or (soon) across a network. At
the next system boot, the kernel detects the saved image, restores the
memory from it and then it continues to run as if you'd never powered
down.
Changes: Since 2.2-rc12, there have been further bug fixes and a few
enhancements. The software is now in feature freeze, getting prepared for
seeking to merge into the vanilla kernel.

Changes: The build system was restructured with stages and much better
handling of errors.

[062] - The Library of Assorted Spiffy Things 0.7
by Michael Jennings (KainX) (http://freshmeat.net/users/mejenn01/)
Mon, Jan 23rd 2006 13:08
Software Development :: Libraries
Utilities
About: The Library of Assorted Spiffy Things (LibAST - formerly libmej)
was originally designed as a companion library to Eterm. However, it
contains many features that other projects may find useful, so it has
been broken out into its own library. Features include thorough
debugging and memory tracking engines, various string manipulation
functions, and a flexible config file parsing engine.
Changes: The string class is now both an interface and an implementation,
so parallel implementations (e.g., a glib string wrapper) can be created.
Detection of Imlib2 support and a pixmap leak when it was disabled have
been fixed. Fixes have been made for gcc4/newer autotools. This release
also contains a fix for CVE-2006-0224, a buffer overflow which could lead
to privilege escalation in setuid/setgid apps using LibAST's configuration
engine.

sub-sections numbered in a special way.
