[001] - Arithmetic Operations Simulation Library 0.01 
  by Sandeep Kumar (http://freshmeat.net/users/idiotkid/)
  Fri, May 12th 2006 12:53



About: The aim of Arithmetic Operations Simulation Library is to develop
an open source library to simulate heavy arithmetic operations efficiently
(using shift, add, and subtract arithmetic) in low cost DSP systems, where
often these are absent in initial development stages, and sometimes even
later.

Changes: This version supports finding the first 1/0 bit from left/right
(lsb/msb), 16-bit unsigned numbers multiplication, division and mod
operations, and also special cases of division by 3.

About: The audit package contains the user-space utilities for creating
audit rules, as well as for storing and searching the audit records
generate by the audit subsystem in the Linux 2.6 kernel.

Changes: Fixes a bug for listing or deleting large amount of syscall
rules. Updates capp and lspp rules. Supports filtering by ppid and
searching for ppid in logs. Moves the default location of the config
files.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Software Development :: Bug Tracking

About: bib_errors can be used to intercept runtime errors of PHP scripts.
It registers a PHP error handler function that outputs the details about
the errors to a given log file. The errors can be displayed as part of the
current script output or sent to a given email address to let the site
administration or developer react promptly. 

Changes: This release adds a BULK_EMAIL configuration setting, which
allows the Webmaster to receive one email for all errors in a page instead
of one email per error.

[004] - Bonfire 0.3.0 
  by Philippe (http://freshmeat.net/users/Rouquier/)
  Fri, May 12th 2006 11:15

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Writing
System :: Archiving
Utilities

About: Bonfire is a CD burning tool for the Gnome desktop. It features the
ability to burn / copy / erase (if rewritable) data and audio discs, full
editing of data discs (move/move/rename files inside a directory) as well
as audio discs, devices detection thanks to HAL, file change notification
(requires kernel > 2.6.13), a customisable GUI (when used with GDL), drag
and drop from Nautilus and other apps, support for any song format
supported by gstreamer, a song and film previewer (thanks to Gstreamer),
the ability to use files on a network as long as the protocol is handled
by gnome-vfs, a search widget based on beagle, and display of all
playlists and their contents (automatically detected through beagle).

Changes: On-the-fly burning for data CDs and DVDs, CD copy, and audio CDs.
Data or disc images can be created on a hard drive instead of being burned.
You can append data to a multi-session CD or DVD. CD-text is written to the
disc for audio CDs. The UI was rethought and improved in many places. In
the search pane, you can search files by categories. During the burning
process, bonfire displays an icon in the tray that displays the advance of
the burning operation. The preview pane has been improved and can also
preview images. There are many bugfixes and small (UI) enhancements.

[007] - Campsite 2.5.2 
  by Campware (http://freshmeat.net/users/campware/)
  Fri, May 12th 2006 11:28

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: This release adds Korean localization. Article internal links
didn't work for multiple publications, demo templates didn't display the
correct article in the "About us" section, and the
campsite-create-instance script was not set as executable. All of these
have been fixed.

[010] - Dovecot 1.0 beta8 
  by Timo Sirainen (http://freshmeat.net/users/aaaaaa/)
  Fri, May 12th 2006 11:27

Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: POP3

About: Dovecot is an IMAP server whose major goals are security and
extreme reliability. It uses index files to optimally store the mailbox
state, which makes it very fast even with huge mailboxes. Indexes won't
prevent external mailbox updates, so Dovecot is still fully compatible
with standard Maildir and mbox formats. There's also a fully featured POP3
server included.

Changes: Fixes a mailbox names list disclosure security hole with mboxes.
Many other bugs were fixed.

[020] - Kana no quiz 1.5 
  by Choplair (http://freshmeat.net/users/Choplair/)
  Fri, May 12th 2006 11:38

Education :: Testing

About: Kana no quiz is a little educational tool to memorize the
pronunciation of Japanese kana (hiragana & katakana) in an easy way. The
method is quite simple: a kana appears randomly and you have to find its
romaji transcription. Kana no quiz may thus fit the needs of both a
beginner and a master of kana. It has been translated into several
languages, and many quiz options are configurable. Kana images have been
initially modelled in SVG and are placed under the Free Art License
(http://artlibre.org/licence/lal/en/). 

Changes: System-wide installation and per-user configuration. More
complete quiz result information (wrong answer recap). A Windows binary
installation package. No more learning flow disturbance within a quiz
using the text-entry answering method. The ability to extend the random
answers selection range from the same portion to the same kana set or
kind. Polivanov's kana cyrillization system. New Russian and German
translations. A quit button has been added to the main window.

  by anzac (http://freshmeat.net/users/anzac/)
  Fri, May 12th 2006 11:36

Internet :: Log Analysis
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
System :: Diagnostics

About: The main purpose of LoFiMo is, as the name states, to monitor log
files. It does this in real time, i.e. shows the contents of log files as
they are changing. The user can connect to LoFiMo with a Web browser or
use the console for plain text output. When using a Web browser, the
output can be formatted with cascading stylesheets, which the user can
define. Thus, it is possible to highlight certain log entries with
different colors and fonts. It is also possible to play sounds or execute
commands (send an email, play sound with a custom player, etc.) when a log
entry matches a filter. LoFiMo can parse Apache style log files and syslog
style log files. Among others, there are filters that can parse iptables
logs and merge multiple log lines of Postfix into a single one.

Changes: This release adds support for files that contain dates and/or
times in their names, e.g. for files that change daily.

[027] - odirect 0.65 
  by Dan Stromberg (http://freshmeat.net/users/strombrg/)
  Fri, May 12th 2006 17:05



About: When reading a lot of data from disk or network filesystem, e.g.
during a backup, buffer cache pollution can be a substantial performance
problem for other processes on the machines involved due to buffer cache
pollution. odirect is intended to provide a convenient way of avoiding
that on systems that offer an O_DIRECT value for open().  The project
provides a C library and SWIG code to make it easy to use from your
favorite scripting language.

Changes: odirect's non-cache-polluting read support is being used in a
single production application now (indexing about 3/4 GB of mail each
night), so it's beyond just testing. This version also changes the "pump"
method name to "pull" (for reading) and adds a new "push" method (for
writing). Pull continues to have a four level test framework built around
it (one in C and 3 in Oython), but there is no testing for push yet.

[030] - PowerDNS Recursor 3.1-pre2 
  by ahu (http://freshmeat.net/users/ahu2/)
  Fri, May 12th 2006 16:55

Internet :: Name Service (DNS)

About: With a small codebase, the PowerDNS Recursor is an advanced
recursor currently serving the DNS resolving needs of over 2 million
Internet connections. Besides high performance (using kqueue or epoll,
over 15 thousand qps on commodity hardware), it provides advanced
anti-spoofing measures. In addition, the program caches server performance
and timeouts, making it both network and user friendly. It also has
built-in hooks for making graphs with rrdtool, providing insight into
nameserver performance. 

Changes: This release adds minor amounts of polish and generally improves
the quality of implementation. This is the first release in full
compliance with the "dns-anti-spoofing" draft RFC. Unless problems crop
up, this release should become 3.1-final.

  Fri, May 12th 2006 16:59

Artistic Software
Communications
Text Processing

About: Textbender is a distributed system of collaborative writing, with a
basis in genetic theory. As a distributed system, it differs from the
typical centralized approach (e.g. of a Wiki) where writers push
contributions to a single, central copy of the text. By contrast,
textbender has no central copy; instead, each writer has a separate copy
of the text, and selectively pulls contributions from other writers. As a
consequence, there are multiple variations of the text. Collectively, the
text has spatial diversity. 

Changes: A modelling and simulation framework was introduced. Reference
simulators were coded.

[036] - The Frink Language 2006-05-11

  Fri, May 12th 2006 03:02

Education
Internet
Scientific/Engineering

About: Frink is a calculating tool and programming language designed to
help you in the real world. It tracks units of measurement throughout all
calculations and ensures that answers are correct. It converts between
systems of measurement and has a huge library of physical data. It handles
conversions between time zones, currencies, and historical values of the
U.S. dollar and the British pound, translates between several languages,
does date/time math, and more. 

Changes: This release fixes a bug in cyclic class definitions that contain
class-level variables of the same type as the class. This could lead to
multiple variables sharing the same values. A mis-feature that allowed
variables to be added to classes at runtime was removed. In addition, the
cached exchange rate for the precious metal Platinum (XPT) was fixed. If
Internet access was not available at runtime, the cached value may have
been wrong.

[040] - VNCTracker 2.2 
  by irieiam (http://freshmeat.net/users/irieiam/)
  Fri, May 12th 2006 03:00

System :: Systems Administration

About: VNCTracker is a tool to keep track of mostly dynamic hosts on
various dial-up accounts. Rather than call each user whenever you need a
current IP address for connecting with VNC, you visit the Web page
generated by VNCTracker which shows the updated IP address for that host.
You can then build .vnc files for easily starting VNC with the settings to
connect to the host. 

Changes: A form for adding a host is now below the main table. Date and
time are provided. A few changes were made to where the footer.html is
inserted. It is now inside the main table, not below it.

[041] - WiKID Strong Authentication System 2.1.1-beta.build61 
  by nowen (http://freshmeat.net/users/nowen/)
  Fri, May 12th 2006 11:29

Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking

About: The WiKID Strong Authentication System is a highly scalable, secure
two-factor authentication system consisting of a server, a token client,
and network clients that connect a service such as a VPN or Web page to
the WiKID server to validate one-time passcodes. The user enters their PIN
into the token client, where it is encrypted and sent to the server. If the
PIN is correct, the encryption valid, and account active, the one-time
passcode is generated, encrypted, and returned to the user. It is simple
to implement and maintain, allows users to be validated automatically,
requires no hardware tokens, has a simple API for application support via
a COM object and Java component, supports multiple domains, and supports
replication for fault tolerance and scalability.

Changes: More permission fixes for the new LDAP interface. Improvements to
the start script.
