About: feresPost is a Ruby extension that provides the definition of classes and modules devoted to the development of automated post-processing for Nastran or Samcef finite element results. The library allows easy manipulation of finite element models, groups, and results. Efficient post-processing is possible because the time-consuming operations are written in C/C++. Changes: Attributes were added to several classes. The "readBdf" method in the "NastranDB" class was partially reprogrammed.
About: Nephthys provides a Web interface to create file-sharing "buckets", through which data can be shared. Nephthys handles the buckets in the local filesystem of the server. Access and data transfer is made via FTP and WebDAV. Nephthys itself does not provide the access protocol, but relies on well known projects like Apache HTTPD (WebDAV) and ProFTPD (FTP). Changes: This is the first public release of Nephthys. For authentication, Nephthys now supports a local user database as well as relying on the Web server's authentication modules.
About: SRecord is a collection of powerful tools for manipulating EPROM load files. It understands a number of file formats including Motorola S-Record, Intel hex, Tektronix hex and binary, for both input and output. SRecord filters include cropping, filling, splitting, joining, and more. All filters may be applied to all file formats. Changes: The srec-cat -data-only option has been broken down into four separate controls. It is now possible to -enable and -disable individual features, such as "header", "data-count", "execution-start-address", and "footer". The srec_cat -start-address option was renamed -execution-start-address due to confusion with -offset filter. Examples of converting to and from binary files have been added to the srec_examples(1) man page. A bug has been fixed in the MOS Tech format, so it now emits an end record even when there is no execution start address passed in.
About: bdec allows you to write specifications for existing binary formats in a flexible XML-based syntax and have decoders automatically generated for you. It is written in Python, and supports decoding to XML or Python objects. Changes: The C decoder memory is now freed. Decoders are validated with valgrind. A new "release" script was added to simplify making new releases. Sequence values are handled in the C decoder. Sequence values are printed in the C decoder output. XML output no longer includes whitespace around decoded values. Entry names are now allowed to use the "-" character. Speed was improved when choosing between embedded choices. Bit buffers now allocate their own memory (instead of reusing the input).
About: The Freenukum Jump'n Run game is a clone of the old EGA graphics based 2D game Duke Nukem. It uses the original Duke Nukem level and graphics files. Changes: Enemy shots, bombs, particle fireworks, and a tankbot enemy were added. The dependency on glib was removed. A menu shortcut is now installed.
About: Boost Extras is a set of extraneous libraries for the Boost environment. It includes an adaptation of the Boost source to compile with the GNU build system, a set of classes to handle INI files, and a class to derive from to use the boost::intrusive_ptr<>. Changes: gnu-boost and boost-1.35.0.tar.bz2 were added. The former is a small set of scripts used to generate the latter, which is a version of the Boost library that uses configure and Makefile.am scripts to build the library (instead of the Jam build system).
About: redland-bindings provides high-level language bindings for the Redland RDF C libraries, allowing full access to the C APIs along with enhancements for individual languages. It currently provides bindings in C#, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Tcl. Changes: The language bindings were updated to use the Redland 1.0.8 API. The configuration now prefers pkg-config, which helps Mac OS X linking problems. Minor fixes were made to the Perl, Python, and Ruby bindings.
About: Redland is a set of C libraries providing a high-level API for the Resource Description Framework (RDF), allowing it to be stored, parsed, serialized, queried, and manipulated. It has an object-based, modular design and comes with detailed reference documentation and examples. APIs are provided in C#, C, Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, and Tcl. Redland supports all RDF vocabularies such as FOAF, RSS 1.0, Dublin Core, DOAP, and OWL, the query languages RDQL and SPARQL, and all RDF syntaxes including Turtle, RDF/XML, RSS, Atom, and GRDDL. Changes: Redland was updated to use the new Rasqal 0.9.16 API (incompatible with earlier versions) and was updated to use Raptor 1.4.18. A new "trees" indexed in-memory storage was added. Improvements were made to low-memory and other failures of resource allocation. Some minor API additions and changes were made to the concepts, parser, and serializer classes.
About: Rasqal is a C library for querying RDF, supporting the RDQL and SPARQL languages. It provides APIs for creating a query and parsing query syntax. It features pluggable triple-store source and matching interfaces, an engine for executing the queries and an API for manipulating results as bindings. It uses the Raptor RDF parser to return triples from RDF content and can alternatively work with the Redland RDF library's persistent triple stores. It is portable across many POSIX systems. Changes: A major API/ABI change was made, so Rasqal 0.9.16 is incompatible with earlier releases. A new rasqal_world object was added and used for all constructor functions. All deprecated functions and macros were removed. Query result sets can now be read and written from sparql XML results format. Error syntax error reporting was improved.
About: Empire is a game that is played against human opponents over a computer network. It is possible for a game to last from a few hours to many months. While the common goal of an Empire player is to win, there is no clear-cut definition of what winning is. Players may seek to achieve whatever goals they want to achieve. Changes: Potential buffer overruns were fixed. Potential leakage of PRNG seed was fixed. Numerous minor bugs were fixed. Documentation updates were done.
About: Erlang is a small concurrent functional programming language developed by Ericsson. It is being used by Ericsson as a systems programming language for large concurrent fault-tolerant distributed systems. Changes: Numerous minor bugfixes and documentation updates were made.
About: Acidx is a simple wrapper for X applications that accept the -fg and -bg parameters. Specifically designed to have a low memory footprint, it will wrap X programs such as xterm and randomly determine the background and foreground colors for the program, while keeping the color scheme legible.
About: The Logic File System enables the user to access files through an additionnal mountpoint, /lfs, where powerful logic queries can be issued and navigation can be done through different dimensions, like date, size, or extension. For instance, LFS allows the user to perform the following commands in the shell: "cd /lfs/ext:mp3|ext:ogg/year:1973/genre:Disco/" and "ls artist:BeeGees/ artist:DonnaSummer/ artist:Chic/".
About: ICSILog is a C-language implementation of a fast single-precision approximation of the natural logarithm with adjustable accuracy. The core idea is to use a quantized version of the mantissa of the input floating point number as a pointer into a lookup table. The amount of quantization of the mantissa determines the table size and therefore the accuracy. Current processors are able to store relatively large lookup tables in cache memory. Therefore an acceptable accuracy can be reached without too many main memory accesses.
About: array is a program to create and manage arbitrarily named, arbitrarily sized arrays. It is designed to be easy to integrate into scripts and to have output that is easy to parse with awk and sed. It is well suited for dynamic download and temporary installation in environments where it isn't available.
About: asciiclock is a program that continuously outputs the current time to a terminal. It resembles a clock that has been drawn with ASCII art.
About: tproxy is a single threaded multiplexed proxy and a relay with trigger and logging capabilities. Suppose your client-server application has a server running on port 8000. If you modify the server to run on port 8001 and you put tproxy in the middle, it will relay all traffic from 8000 to 8001. Doing so makes tproxy function as a user level tap. tproxy lets you increment debug counters so that you can use standard Unix tools to trove through logs after the execution and testing time.
About: Taim utilizes Pidgin to make a simple Web based AIM client. This is useful on a cellphone where you may have unlimited data, software controlled by brew, and limited messaging. Care was taken to serve the smallest set of HTML characters possible while still maintaining functionality. It's also a bot that can potentially run arbitrary commands on your system. After cleansing input in a specialized !script command, your input gets passed off to a shell script on your system.
About: Condor schedules and runs remote CPU intensive applications using the idle cycles of distributively owned workstations. It monitors a pool of machines to find idle machines that are then used to complete submitted jobs, and also provides checkpointing and remote system mechanisms that allow for job migration and transparent remote execution. Changes: Condor no longer requires its EXECUTE directory to be world-writable, as long as it is not on a root-squashed NFS mount and is owned by the user given in the CONDOR_IDS setting (or by Condor's real UID, if not started as root). A bug where condor_schedd would become unresponsive during a shutdown was fixed. Numerous other bugs were fixed.
About: Clirc is an IRC spider and bouncer with a built-in Web server that politely uses non-user trackable IRC commands in order to cluster chat rooms into large similar groups with affinity ratings.
About: libpwmd is a library that makes it easy to patch applications to use pwmd (Password Manager Daemon). It supports password retrieval from a pinentry program. Changes: A few changes were made in the way pinentry is handled. The pwmc command line option -t was added to specify the pinentry timeout. pwmc_open_async() can now use PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_TRIES.
About: Password Manager Daemon serves clients data via a local socket. The data is stored in an encrypted XML file, and the client must provide the key to modify it. There is also a library available to make patching applications to use the daemon easier. Changes: Support for pinentry timeouts was added. Launching pinentry when no DISPLAY was set was fixed. A "priority" configuration parameter was added.
About: Piggy Market Squeak is an easy-to-use alert system for trends in stocks and shares. It has a user-friendly graphical user interface and email alerts. It can highlight and sort buy and sell signals from marketplaces or portfolios. It is versatile and integrates new trend indicators. Changes: A new feature to provide an alert on a given threshold is directly available from a right click in the portfolio. A large number of bugs were fixed, especially in the graph feature.
About: TCExam is Web-based assessment software for generating and managing online tests and exams. It simplifies the exam cycle, including generation, execution, evaluation, presentation, and archiving. Changes: This version contains better support for the Arabic language, some new exporting features, and several bugfixes.
About: Logger is a log queueing and optimization utility. It can completely replace sys/klogd, handle logs larger than 2GB, perform automatic nightly log rotation without affecting services, and transfer logs between machines via TCP connections. Any application that writes a text log can be maintained by Logger. It is light, small, and fast, emphasizes security, and reduces drive usage through memory queueing. Changes: This version has proven extremely stable and handles connection interrupts properly.
