Ever wonder why HP has seven consecutive years of Linux market share
leadership? Maybe it's our portfolio of best-of-breed partner products, or
HP value-add in management, high availability, and virtualization. Maybe
it's the integrated, consolidated infrastructure of HP BladeSystem,
single-source accountability and solution support from HP Services in 160
countries, or just our unwavering commitment to the open source community.

super-resolution, deblurring, noise reduction, and anti-aliasing. Its
principle of operation is synthetic capture, combining multiple inputs
representing the same scene.
Changes: This prerelease adds POSIX thread support for 2D alignment and
rendering operations, and adds a profiling option. The documentation is

component that is intended to make the system highly scalable. It supports
many Unix variants with any RFC-compliant IMAP server (including UW, Cyrus,
and Dovecot).
Changes: Some IMAP servers do not maintain internal date sufficiently.
This version switches to using an internal RFC2822 date header for message
sorting. There are also a few minor interface bugfixes and polish.

[005] - Clorox 0.1a
by Daniel Myers (http://freshmeat.net/users/dsmcsail/)
Tue, Oct 24th 2006 05:19
About: Clorox is shared memory system for AJAX Web applications. Instead
of forcing the programmer to manually make requests to the server for new
data, Clorox presents them with the illusion of data structures shared
between the client and server. These data structures look exactly like
ordinary JavaScript objects, and they support flexible, user-defined
policies for data caching and prefetching. It thus provides better
performance than straightforward AJAX implementations with reduced
programmer effort.
Changes: A small bug was fixed to correct a problem with dim() methods.
The homepage URL was updated.

[006] - Cobbler 0.2.9
by Michael DeHaan (http://freshmeat.net/users/mpdehaan/)
Tue, Oct 24th 2006 16:44
Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions
System :: Software Distribution Tools
About: Cobbler is a provisioning configuration tool that enables
administrators to rapidly set up environments for (simultaneously)
provisioning PXE, installing Xen, and re-provisioning existing machines
("auto-kickstart"). Set up of a PXE server, once a very manual process, is
now greatly simplified. Cobbler also enables integrating Xen into a PXE
provisioning infrastructure. The application is designed for managing the
provisioning of thousands of machines or only a few. Extensive
documentation is provided in the accompanying manpages. Cobbler is easy to
use and has an accompanying Python API.
Changes: This is primarily a bugfix release, though one major feature is
being added. "cobbler import" can now handle importing mirrors over SSH as
well as the rsync protocol (rsyncd). This now works: "cobbler import
--mirror=foo@192.168.1.10:/distros --mirror-name=foo". Bugfixes are
primarily related to removing GIGO situations from both cobbler and koan,
and are covered in the changelog files.

[007] - Cream for Vim 0.37
by digitect (http://freshmeat.net/users/digitect/)
Tue, Oct 24th 2006 09:33
Text Editors
Text Processing :: Markup :: HTML/XHTML
About: Cream is a configuration of the famous Vim text editor that makes
it easier to use, like an Apple- or Windows-style text editor. It uses
Vim's own extensibility to improve menus, keyboard shortcuts, and editing
behavior. Cream seamlessly maintains Vim's insertmode to access all the
power of the original Vim plus many custom Cream extensions.
Changes: This is an incremental release and fixes some minor bugs. An
option was added to turn off the status line. Another addition is the
Slide Generator add-on. Relying on ImageMagick's convert utility, it
converts a directory of Web-compatible images (.jpg, .gif, and .png) into
a Web page index of small thumbnails that link to the full size image.

Education :: Testing
About: CyberTester is a Web-based application that was originally designed
to allow educators to create tests, exams, and assignments consisting of
multiple-choice questions and assign them to students for online testing.
Students can login to take these tests and review their results. It is
suitable for integrating into online education services. It uses Java
Enterprise Edition (with EJB 3) and runs on JBoss.
Changes: This release implements reordering of questions that are assigned
to a test with the administrator test editor. The Ant build script has been
changed to package all Web Java classes into a jar file, which is then put
into the WEB-INF/lib within the war file. There are unit tests using JBoss
Embeddable EJB3 container. This release adds INTEGER (single integer
answer) and DECIMAL (single decimal value answer) question types. Some
bugs have been fixed.

[010] - Damn Small Linux 3.1RC2
by damnsmalllinux (http://freshmeat.net/users/damnsmalllinux/)
Tue, Oct 24th 2006 23:39
Desktop Environment
About: Damn Small Linux is a business-card size (50MB) Live CD Linux
distribution. Despite its minuscule size it strives to have a functional
and easy to use desktop.
Changes: 54 Lua and Lua/Fltk programs were converted to Lua 5.1.1 and Fltk
1.1 via the MurgaLua interface. The MyDSL Icon can be right-clicked to

[017] - Go Awstats 1.0
by Jean-Marc Liotier (http://freshmeat.net/users/jimfr/)
Tue, Oct 24th 2006 17:00
About: Go Awstats automates the production of Awstats Apache log reports
at a site where multiple virtual hosts exist. It always updates the
reports for the current month and the current year and only produces other
reports if they do not exist, which saves on CPU. The regeneration of a
report can be forced by simply erasing it.
Changes: A major year calculation error has been fixed that appeared when
the logs began to span more than two years. The author is now confident
that the whole thing now works as advertised, hence the bump to revision
1.0.

[019] - Imagero 1.9.2_1
by ak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imagero/)
Tue, Oct 24th 2006 16:48
Multimedia :: Graphics
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: Imagero is a Java library for reading images and reading/editing
image metadata. Supported file types include BMP, GIF, TIFF, PNG, JNG,
MNG, JPEG (including 12-bit grey), PSD, PBM, PGM, PPM, TGA, EPS, EPSI, and
EPSF. The following RAW file types are also supported, at least partially:
MRW, CRW, NEF, DCR, and DNG. It can read thumbnails, read metadata (IPTC,
EXIF, and XMP), edit metadata, get image width and height, get the number
of images contained in a file, define an area to read, add a
ProgressListener, choose an image channel to read, set a scale factor, set
subsampling (JPEG only), read an image (or channel) directly into an array
or BufferedImage, use ICC Profiles for accurate color converting, and
split and merge TIFF files.
Changes: Inserting Marker blocks to JPEG files. Vertical merging (stitch)
of TIFF files. Data handling was significantly changed: if BufferedImage
is requested (for Java 1.2 or higher), then the returned image has the
same bit depth as the original on disc. Otherwise, if an image has less
than 8 bits per pixel, it is converted to 8 BPP. Many bugfixes were made.

System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: MonAMI aims to be a standard place for monitoring the availability
and performance of services. It can talk to many different monitoring
systems while remaining easy to configure. It has a plugin structure,
making it easy to add new things to monitor or to integrate with new
monitoring systems.
Changes: With this release, MonAMI now uses an asynchronous,
multi-threaded core, which supports "on-demand" monitoring. The new
ksysguard reporting plugin is the first to use on-demand monitoring. The
KSysguard GUI, once connected, can choose what to monitor dynamically.
When finished, the GUI will disconnect and the corresponding monitoring
will stop. Two new monitoring plugins are included with this release: DPM
and dCache. These are two storage solutions that implement the Grid "SRM"
storage interface.

by Jakob Jenkov (http://freshmeat.net/users/jjenkov/)
Tue, Oct 24th 2006 06:44
Database :: API
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: Mr. Persister is a POJO persistence API for Java. The main focus of
Mr. Persister is to handle all the trivial JDBC work, and leave the
non-trivial parts up to you. It uses plain SQL as the query language, it
can auto-map objects to the database, and it can generate SQL for a lot of
trivial tasks by itself (such as insert, update, and delete). Mr. Persister
also has support for easy batch updates of collections of objects,
connection and transaction handling, and many other features.
Changes: Mr. Persister now has a JDBC DAO and a Map DAO too. The JDBC DAO
makes it easier for users to do ordinary custom JDBC without having to
worry about all the details. The Map DAO makes it easy to read records
into Maps or Lists of Maps. This can be handy for dynamic reporting
purposes. You can even mix the use of the various DAOs. For instance, use
the Map DAO or Generic DAO from inside a JDBC DAO call.

improvements over VML on Internet Explorer in core visualization features.
The DHTML may still be mixed with VML for areas where DHTML is functionally
limited. Firefox 2 and Minefield 3 are new browsers supported. Internet
Explorer 7 did not require any changes to work correctly. An online
organisation chart editing application has been added as an example with
automatic node positioning. A number of bugfixes and minor features were
also added.

Furthermore, it can use an external authentication source such as an LDAP
directory and be the key of a Single Sign On solution.
Changes: This is a maintenance release which mainly fixes a bug in the
LDAP module. Applications with parentheses in their names were causing a
failure during the search of the ACLs in the LDAP directory. Due to this
search failure, relative packets were dropped even if they matched an
ACCEPT ACL.

Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
About: psyced is a distributed chat and messaging system based on the
Protocol for SYnchronous Conferencing. PSYC is multicast and routed
between servers and clients in a scalable and efficient way, but users can
also comfortably use IRC clients, telnet, Web chat, or Jabber to enter the

that are freely programmable and cannot be hacked. It also provides
gateways to several IRC networks, but unlike IRC, everyone can run a
server and be an equal member of the PSYC network.
Changes: Recent updates in the installer have been fixed. Driver
configuration has been optimized. The /connect command serves the purpose
of switching your identity within your session.

by Noberasco (http://freshmeat.net/users/noberasco/)
Tue, Oct 24th 2006 01:05
Security
System :: Boot :: Init
About: qingy is a replacement for getty. It uses DirectFB to provide a
fast, nice GUI without the overhead of the X Windows System. It allows the
user to log in and start the session of his choice (text console, GNOME,
KDE, wmaker, etc.).
Changes: Since shutting DirectFB mode down sometimes fails due to the fact
that DFB itself may hang somewhere when closing graphic mode, code that
performs a low-level reset of the console was added, thus effectively
restoring it into an usable state. Support for screen power management was
added. The screen(s) will be powered off after a given timeout. Several
bugfixes and clean-ups were made.

Communications :: Internet Phone
Communications :: Telephony
Internet
About: SipUnit provides a class library that allows software developers to
create automated unit tests for SIP applications. Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) is widely used for providing telephone services over the
Internet. SipUnit extends the JUnit framework to incorporate SIP-specific
assertions, and it provides a high-level API for performing the SIP
operations needed to interact with or invoke a test target. A test program
using the SipUnit API is written in Java and acts as a network element that
sends/receives SIP requests and responses.
Changes: High level class methods were enhanced to allow complete control
over outbound request/response content by incorporating additional method
signatures that take body/header parameters. The final release (version
1.2) of the SIP stack reference implementation published by National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was incorporated.
Miscellaneous bugs were fixed.

Tue, Oct 24th 2006 23:26
Software Development :: Version Control
About: Bazaar is a simple decentralized revision control system.
Decentralized revision control systems give users the ability to branch
remote repositories to a local context. Users can commit to local branches
without requiring special permission from the branches that they branched
from.
Changes: This release continues to improve performance and polish. The
startup time of lazy imports was improved by as much as 50%. There is
still room for improvement, but the foundation has been laid. Dotted
revision numbers were implemented, so it is now possible to reference
merged revisions by a short numbered identifier such as "bzr diff -r
1.2.1..1.2.3". Support was added for "bzr+http://", which allows
communicating with the bzr smart server over an HTTP connection.
