[001] - Asymptote 1.05
by John Bowman (http://freshmeat.net/users/jcbowman/)
Fri, May 19th 2006 03:01
Education
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
Scientific/Engineering
About: Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for
technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like
syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting
that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as
opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of
script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods.
High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself,
allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
Changes: Shaded and skeletal representations of surfaces of rotation were
implemented. General determinants were added. Sin, Cos, Tan, aSin, aCos,
and aTan, which use degrees, are built-in functions. The dash adjustment
algorithm was improved. The cubicroots solver works again when R=0.
Automatic viewing can easily be disabled under MSDOS. Nonstandard paper
sizes are correctly handled. The C locale is always used when producing
postscript patterns. Stepping of slide presentations can be enabled from
the command line.

Adaptive Technologies
Communications
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: IkeWiki is a new kind of Wiki (a so-called "Semantic Wiki")
developed by Salzburg Research that allows users to collaboratively
annotate pages and links between pages with semantic annotations. Such
annotations are useful because they give machines a certain amount of
"understanding" of the content that goes beyond merely displaying the
page. This information can then, for example, be used for context-specific
presentation of pages, advanced querying, consistency verification, or
drawing conclusions. It currently only works properly with Mozilla Firefox
and Opera (partly).
Changes: Major bugfixes, increased robustness, upgraded to Jena 2.4, and
switched to Apache Lucene for searching.

About: jBixbe lets you debug Java applications on the conceptual level of
the Unified Modeling Language (UML) at which they are designed and makes
it possible to find not only simple bugs but also weaknesses and
inefficiencies in application design. It shows the big picture of your
application so you can recognize classes and objects, and their
relationships and interaction. Different view levels support top-down
debugging and simplify debugging of multi-threaded applications. Source
code debugging has been fully integrated into the object-oriented
visualization.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: MIDI
Utilities
About: Midirecord is a simple command-line application to record a MIDI
file with your MIDI keyboard. It also features automatic recording to a
MIDI file when you play electric piano, and thus it may be used as a
"recording daemon".
Changes: The code of this version has been completely rewritten. This
version records all MIDI events coming from MIDI keyboards, not just
note-ons. It uses the system timer to obtain timing, which makes it more
accurate and removes the dependence on MIDI clock events from the
keyboard. This version doesn't require ALSA libraries.

Fri, May 19th 2006 02:48
Text Processing
Text Processing :: Linguistic
Utilities
About: Msort sorts files in sophisticated ways. Records may be fixed size,
newline-separated blocks, or terminated by any specified character. Key
fields may be selected by position, tag, or character range. For each key,
distinct exclusions, multigraphs, substitutions, and a sort order may be
defined or locale collation rules used. Comparisons may be lexicographic,
numeric, numeric string, hybrid, random, by string length, angle, date,
time, month name, or ISO8601 timestamp. Keys may be reversed so as to
generate reverse dictionaries. Optional keys are supported. Unicode is
supported, including full case-folding. Msort itself has a somewhat
complex command line interface, but may be driven by an optional GUI.
Changes: Hybrid comparison using locale collation rules for the textual
portions has been completely revamped and appears to be bug free. The
option of checking whether the input is sorted was added. Conversion of
stylistic variants to their plain equivalents now includes superscripts,
subscripts, and the Hebrew presentation forms. A bug in the conversion of
stylistic variants has been fixed and a small memory leak was eliminated.
Explanatory popups were added to msg for conversion of stylistic variants
and enclosed forms and stripping of diacritics.

Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules
Software Development :: Testing
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: Remote Python Call (RPyC) is a Python library for distributed
computing and RPC. It gives you control of a slave Python interpreter
(local or remote), which works on your behalf (either synchronously or
asynchronously). Unlike other RPCs, it is transparent, which means you
work with remote objects as you would work with local ones. Moreover, it
is symmetrical, so you can use callbacks, etc.
Changes: This release adds DeliveringNamespace, LoginError (instead of
tlslite's internal errors), __version__, deliver (the counterpart of
obtain, which can now deliver and obtain functions as well), and isproxy
(to test whether an object is a proxy). It improves memory consumption
with __slots__ and the isinstance/issubclass mechanism.

Database :: Front-Ends
Internet
Internet :: Log Analysis
About: Stager is a system for aggregating and presenting network
statistics. Though tailored for using NetFlow data from the flow-tools
package, it is generic and can be customized to present and process any
kind of network statistics. The backend collects data with flow-tools
and stores reports in a database, automatically handling the aggregation
of hourly statistics into days, weeks, and months. The Web frontend
presents data in tables, matrices, or plots. The reports are fully
customizable, and their definitions are stored in the database.
Changes: This release fixes several bugs in both the frontend and backend.
The most important fix is that bookmarks with relative times are now
working properly. This means that if you create a report that shows data,
for example, for the last hour with available data, you can now create a
bookmark that will always show data for the last hour with available data.

filesystem can be accessed using a 9P-compliant client. The dependency on
Plan 9 (9base) tools has been dropped. The separation of wmiibar,
wmiikeys, and the wmiifs file-service multiplexer into separate processes
in earlier versions has been removed, which increased the overall
performance drastically and reduced a lot of code overhead.

Internet :: Proxy Servers
About: Ziproxy is a forwarding (non-caching) proxy that gzips text and
HTML files, and reduces the size of images by converting them to lower
quality JPEGs. It is intended to increase the speed for low-speed Internet
connections and it's suitable for both home and professional usage. Ziproxy
is fully configurable and also features transparent proxy mode, preemptive
name resolution, operation in either daemon mode or (x)inetd mode, a
detailed access log with compression statistics, basic authentication, and
more.
Changes: A monolithic architecture is now used, since it is much faster,
so netd is not used anymore. A transparent proxy mode was added. A
detailed access log with compression stats was added. Daemon mode was
added. Code cleanup was done. More tuning options were added.
