  by unDEFER (http://freshmeat.net/users/undefer/)
  Sat, Nov 18th 2006 12:46

System :: Filesystems
System :: Recovery Tools

About: anyfs-tools allows you to recover and convert filesystems while
using minimal extra disk space. Unlike other recovery tools, anyfs-tools
doesn't copy all the files found on other disks (or partitions), but only
saves information about the location of the file blocks to an external
inode table. After recovery, a user may mount the damaged filesystem with
anyfs and the external inode table and then interact with all recovered
files with any program. 

Changes: The package was debianized. Building with xfsprogs version 2.8.11
and later was fixed.

  Sat, Nov 18th 2006 01:33

Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Libraries

About: Cibyl is a programming environment that allows compiled C programs
to execute on J2ME-capable phones. Cibyl uses GCC to compile the C
programs to MIPS binaries, and these are then recompiled into Java
bytecode. The programs are not parsed during runtime, and Cibyl is
therefore relatively well-performing. With Cibyl, games written in C can
be ported to J2ME without switching language.

Changes: API handling was redesigned and is now much more like a standard
C environment. Most file (stdio.h) handling was added. Unaligned
instruction access was implemented. Global constructors and destructors
are now supported and a number of bugs were fixed.

  Sat, Nov 18th 2006 23:51

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

About: The DBMAIL package replaces the normal UNIX mailing system. All
email and user data is stored in a database. You can create an unlimited
number of email accounts, which can be checked using the POP3 or IMAP
protocol. Users can maintain their own set of email addresses. It is more
scalable, more secure, and faster than traditional mail systems. DBMAIL
has storage drivers for PostgreSQL and MySQL, and it has authentication
drivers for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and LDAP.

Changes: Loadable database, authentication, and Sieve sorting modules were
added. The SQLite database is supported. Server side IMAP sorting and
searching was highly optimized. Performance was dramatically improved all
around. Version 2.2.0 had a small but serious bug in handling non-blocking
sockets, so 2.2.1 fixes this.

[010] - flimsel 0.0.2 
  by josch (http://freshmeat.net/users/hofmann/)
  Sat, Nov 18th 2006 04:09

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers

About: flimsel is a minimalistic digitial image browser based on the fltk
toolkit. It displays thumbnails of images given on the command line. It is
intended to be used in digital image processing shell scripts. flimsel uses
the very fast epeg library for JPEG thumbnail generation. flimsel outputs
keyboard hotkeys and file names of selected images to stdout. Images whose
filenames are written to stdin will be reloaded. The flimsel.sh script in
the examples directory uses this to implement basic image manipulations on
selected images. 

Changes: Images are now displayed while loading. The user can now start to
work immediately. A private Scroll class has been added to work around
coordinate overflows in fltk-1.1. The example script has also been
improved.

all programs to your printer type (for example, always sending the pages
in reverse order), to group two or more pages on a single sheet, to print
booklets, and to easily print in double-sided fashion. It is designed to
work from nearly all programs that call LPR, acting as an intermediary
between the program and LPR, but it can work alone, too.

  Sat, Nov 18th 2006 04:08

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Multimedia :: Video

About: Keystroke is a tool that aids in the transcription, subtitling, and
logging of video and audio. It combines a video player and text editor and
allows control of the media through keystrokes rather than through the
mouse. Furthermore, it tracks the start and end times of each entered
phrase in order to use the transcription in CMML/Annodex files as
subtitles. It is also unique in that it does not display each clip in the
usual table layout, instead utilizing a script-like view. Output can be in
SRT, CMML, and plain text.

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: The remaining time calculation was adapted to ampere based
battery information on Asus and Acer laptops. ACPI parsing and ampere/volt
detection were optimized. ACPI and SMAPI were made path configurable via a
configuration file. This makes testing with foreign battery information
easier.

About: Matrex is an un-spreadsheet that is useful for working with vectors
(for example, database data and charts) and matrices. It is the perfect
desktop tool for mathematical, statistical, and engineering models and for
other complex calculations.

Changes: Interface rationalization (one step less in the wizard) and
simpler user interaction were implemented in the expression parser.
Dialogs to add existing templates and matrices to the initial expression
were added to the expression parser. In the Matrix editor, side effects
when editing cells and clicking with the mouse were removed, the last
edited cell value is held when saving, and number and date parsing were
improved. The following function templates were added: sumby, sort, tail,
and queue. Any dependency on the Matrex GUI was removed from the Matrex
API, finally allowing Matrex to be used as a library.

[035] - Simple persistence for Java 2.0.1 
  by Robert (http://freshmeat.net/users/demonofthesystem/)
  Sat, Nov 18th 2006 04:01

Database :: API
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: Simple persistence for Java is a full featured, powerful
object/relational persistence and query library. It has a unique
philosophy of simpleness and ease of use: it does not require config
files, annotations, code generation, code "enhancing", or any kind of
tools to be used, not even the database interface itself. It handles
simple Java beans and its query service returns lists. Despite its
simpleness, under the hood the library takes care of all the necessary
logic: transaction visibility, result list paging, keys and ids, table
creation/modification, class relations, inheritance/polymorphism, case
sensitiveness, and much more. It currently supports: Oracle, MySQL, and
PostgreSQL.

Changes: The java_cup-runtime dependency jarfile was fixed. A List and Map
in-place modification bug was fixed.
