Communications :: WAP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Terminals :: Terminal Emulators/X Terminals
About: Anyterm provides a terminal emulator on a Web page using Javascript
and an Apache module. The module forks a shell and communicates with the
script using XMLHTTP on port 80, or securely using SSL. This provides you
with shell access to your machine from almost any Web browser, even when
firewalls are in the way. Experimental features include support for WAP
browsers and standalone operation without Apache, and the my.anyterm.org
service provides access without the need to install anything on your
servers.
Changes: This release completes a major under-the-hood transition to a new
shared memory library, and moves the interprocess communication from
signals to condition variables. Some build problems with the last release
have also been resolved.

Thu, Jan 26th 2006 10:19
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: Campsite is a multilingual content management system (CMS) for news
Web sites. Campsite's user interface was built with the end user
(journalist, editor, publisher) in mind, and it can be configured to suit
different profiles of end users. Campsite follows the print-newspaper
publishing paradigm, so it structures sites by default as Publications >
Issues > Sections > Articles. Campsite works best for medium-to-large-size
online news publications, but it is capable of handling nimbler sites too.
Changes: The Xinha "Subhead" button didn't work in Internet Explorer.
Non-published articles were shown in "List article" when Preview Mode is
used. An error appeared when you edit an issue configuration. The
"notifyevents" cron job was sending malformed mail messages. Copying an
article created by someone else kept the orginal creator. The permissions
for "font face" and "font size" did not turn on the corresponding elements
in Xinha. Duplicating a template triggered an error. All of these bugs have
been fixed.

Thu, Jan 26th 2006 11:09
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Archiving :: Mirroring
About: DirSync is a directory synchronizer. It takes two arguments: the
source directory and the destination directory. It recursively makes the
two directories identical. It can be used to make an incremental copy of
large data. For example, if your file server is in the /data you can make
a copy in /backup with the command dirsync /data /backup. The first time,
all data will be copied, but when you issue the command again, only the
changed files are copied.
Changes: This release fixes a minor bug and adds support to verify data
copied. It adds a log of all operation with user definable data/time
format. It adds a verify only mode.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: Restlet is a framework that brings the simplicity and efficiency of
the REST architectural style to Java developers. It is composed of two
parts, a neutral API and a reference implementation (Noelios Restlet
Engine). It supports all REST concepts (resource, representation, data,

REST applications. The server connectors provided are HTTP (via Mortbay's
Jetty or an adapter Servlet) and the client connectors are HTTP, JDBC, and
SMTP (via JavaMail).
Changes: The Restlet API was simplified, in particular RestletCall merged
with UniformCall. Maplets, Chainlets, and Restlet containers can now
delegate to any UniformInterface handler. Support for cookies was
completed. HTTP connectors were refactored. Shortcut methods (get, post,
put, etc.) were added. The HTTP client was completed. The Jetty connector
supports all listeners (HTTP, HTTPS, and AJP). Support for encoding
modifiers was added, allowing pre-compressed files and dynamic compression
of representations. The tutorial and sample code were simplified using the
latest API changes.

being a "one-click" installer for Linux a la Locomotive or Instant Rails.
Changes: An upgrade to Ruby 1.8.4 was made. SCGI support was added with
mod_scgi, rails_scgi, cmdparse, and highline. FastCGI support was removed.
An apply_scgi.sh script was added for setting up an SCGI process for a
Rails application along with some instructions in the README. The emaildir
demo application was modified to use SCGI. Ruby MySQL bindings were
included. rake was upgraded to version 0.7.0. The compilation script now
uses less CPU.

[059] - Slony-I 1.1.5
by David Fetter (http://freshmeat.net/users/dfetter/)
Thu, Jan 26th 2006 22:33
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: Slony-I is a "master to multiple slaves" replication system
supporting cascading and slave promotion. The big picture for the
development of Slony-I is as a master-slave system that includes all
features and capabilities needed to replicate large databases to a
reasonably limited number of slave systems. Reasonable, in this context,
is probably no more than a few dozen servers. If the number of servers
grows beyond that, the cost of communications becomes prohibitively high.
Changes: Compatibility with 8.1 was added. SUBSCRIBE SET performance was
improved. TRUNCATE is used to clear out tables at subscription time, if
possible. Man pages for slon, slonik, as well as all the slonik commands
can now be generated. There is official Debian packaging under way in the
"experimental" area. A fairly large number of minor bugs that have been
reported have been fixed.

[068] - Web Performance Analyzer 1.2
by Michael Czeiszperger (http://freshmeat.net/users/czei/)
Thu, Jan 26th 2006 10:24
About: Web Performance Analyzer is a Web performance tool that allows
designers to measure, analyze, estimate, and track Web page performance.
It is available as a standalone program and an Eclipse plugin. WPA
captures Web pages as you browse and reveals dynamic HTTP requests,
forwards, and other low-level details that aren't visible from a browser.
But unlike other simple protocol sniffers, WPA can tell you if your Web
pages are getting faster or slower by replaying recorded sessions and
comparing the current performance to previous measurements.
Changes: This release adds supports for all types of authentication,
including Web form, basic authorization, NTLM, and client certificates.
You can now record a test case with a login, and each replay can be
configured to have a unique login. Anyone who downloads the installer will
get the 1.2 version. People who already have the product can get the latest
through the update mechanism by configuring the options to recognize new
major versions as described in the manual.

the problem. Web Performance Trainer includes hard-to-find features such
as IP spoofing, client certificates, multiple simultaneous test cases,
authentication, SSL recording and playback, automated analysis, and more.
Changes: This release fixes a large number of bugs found in the beta
process. Bugs were fixed in the HTTP forwarding logic, NTLM handling, and
error page recording.
