initially developed for PDAs, but has now branched into another version
that is suitable for the modern desktop environment and includes a number
of extra features.
Changes: CSV import was improved and a new quick search was added.

Utilities
About: Lfm is a curses-based file manager for the Unix console written in
Python.

compressed files. The F2 and F12 keys were swapped, so now F2 renames files
and F12 shows the file menu. New key shortcuts were added in dialogs.
Cursor movement was sped up. Lots of code cleaning and refactoring were
done and some bugs were fixed.

by Adam Zivner (http://freshmeat.net/users/adamzivner/)
Sun, Dec 21st 2008 11:13
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Wiki
About: LionWiki is a minimalist file-based (doesn't need a database),
templatable, extensible wiki engine that works from just one file (30KB).
It supports page history, recent changes, interface localization, password
protection (both writing pages and seeing), and much more through plugins
(CAPTCHA, RSS, syntax for Tables). It's intended for small personal Web
sites, notebooks, and other simple applications. Installation is very easy:
just copy the file and create a directory.
Changes: Edit conflicts are prevented. A Tags plugin was added. The
Dandelion template was added. Full PHP4 compatibility (for 4.3.0 and later)
is ensured. Some SEO was done. Optional XSS protection was added.

[018] - Manent 0.10.17
by Sasha (http://freshmeat.net/users/gsasha/)
Sun, Dec 21st 2008 20:56
System :: Archiving
System :: Archiving :: Backup
About: Manent is an algorithmically strong backup and archival program. It
features efficient backup to anything that looks like storage. Currently it
supports plain filesystems ("directories"), FTP, and SFTP. Planned are
Amazon S3, optical disks, and email (SMTP and IMAP). It can work (making
progress towards finishing a backup) over a slow and unreliable network. It
can offer online access to the contents of the backup. Backed up storage is
completely encrypted. Backup is incremental, including changed parts of
large files. Moved, renamed, and duplicate files will not require
additional storage. Several computers can use the same storage for backup,
automatically sharing data. Both very large and very small files are
supported efficiently. Manent does not rely on timestamps of the remote
system to detect changes.
Changes: This release fixes restoration of increment descriptors from
storage. The setup scripts have better compatibility with Windows (the
problem was caused by Windows not being able to have both Manent and manent
in the same directory; the file named "manent" was moved away into a
subdirectory).

[019] - Mercurial 1.1.1

Sun, Dec 21st 2008 11:44
Software Development :: Version Control
About: Mercurial is a fast, lightweight Source Control Management system
designed for the efficient handling of very large distributed projects.
Changes: The resolve command now requires a -a switch to resolve all files
and its help text has been improved. Recursion was made optional for hgweb;
it is triggered by "**" rather than "*". A fncache bug affecting
directories ending in " " or "." was fixed. Non-existing directories are
now created as needed when applying patches. A copy bug was fixed in the
SVN converter. Branch names may now be kept when using the rebase
extension.

About: Patricia Attack is a side scrolling game based on source code from

Sun, Dec 21st 2008 20:50
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and
operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.
Changes: The chapter about the Seed7 structured syntax definition in the
manual was improved. A new library named gethttp.s7i, which contains

[034] - werc 0.9.10.0
by Lost Goblin (http://freshmeat.net/users/lostgoblin/)
Sun, Dec 21st 2008 12:13
Information Management :: Document Repositories
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
About: Werc is a minimalistic RESTful content management system
implemented as a collection of shell scripts written in the rc shell and
taking advantage of other Plan 9 tools available on *nix systems as part of
"Plan 9 from User Space". It is designed to be fast, simple, convenient,
and easily extensible (you can easily integrate your own dynamic content
with the rest of the site). It handles both small and big sites well,
including seamless multi-domain handling. All data is stored as plain text
files without need of a database and there is support for blog directories
with automatic RSS feed generation (and multi-feed aggregation).
Changes: Many minor improvements and fixes were made, and a new framework
for self-contained modular werc-based apps was added. The sites/ directory
was made configurable. Further optimizations were made to the sidebar code.
Timezones were added in blog posts. A new html_handler was added. Many code
reliability and clarity improvements were made.

[035] - xfburn 0.4.0
by squisher (http://freshmeat.net/users/squisher/)
Sun, Dec 21st 2008 11:59
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Writing
About: xfburn is easy to use burning software for the Xfce desktop
environment (but will work with others). It uses libburn and libisofs as a
backend. ISO files can be burned, data composition created, discs
blanked, and DVD-RW media formatted and deformatted. Common burning
software features not yet implemented are audio CD creation and disc
copying.
Changes: This release adds audio CD support that uses gstreamer to do the
decoding. Support of special files has been improved. Integration with
Thunar is improved. Device handling is greatly improved, and mounted drives
are now automatically unmounted, if possible (which requires HAL and
thunar-vfs). Drag and drop from file managers is now supported.
