About: pick-set finds random subsets of a given list of files, constrained by a given target size and a percentage of allowable underun. Use it with the supplied script to upload a random set of MP3s to a Rio500. Changes: Initial release.
About: The Cyrus SASL library is a generic library for easy integration of secure network authentication to any client or server application. It supports authentication via standard plaintext methods as well as CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 shared secret methods and KERBEROS_V4 and GSSAPI Kerberos methods. The SASL protocol framework is used by SMTP, IMAP, ACAP, LDAP, and other standard protocols. Changes: Bugfixes, a Java SASL library, and more documentation.
About: Rawhide is a PHP class which retrieves member stats from the distributed.net web server and prepares them for presentation on other web pages. It grabs the stats in a "raw" format instead of the normal stats pages; this substantially lightens the load on distributed.net's web server and speeds the presentation time on your own web server. Rawhide will support all distributed.net contests including RC5-64, OGR, and others. Changes: A massive code rewrite to clean up the API, with parsing for just about everything from raw numbers of blocks to keyrates to averages to best day, etc., much better checking for statsbox down and for members with 0-days listed (a variation on the statsbox down), improvements to the included documentation, and API changes (will require some very minor changes in your code).
About: LIBSVM is an integrated software for support vector classification, regression, and distribution estimation. It supports multi-class classification. The goal is to help users from other fields to easily use SVM as a tool. LIBSVM provides a simple interface where users can easily link it with their own programs. It is implemented in both C++ and Java. A Python interface and a GUI demonstrating SVM classification and regression are also included in the package. Changes: First freshmeat announcement.
About: KSnuffle is a network packet sniffer for KDE. It supports multiple concurrent sniffers, packet filtering (aka tcpdump), event triggers and commands, text and binary logging (and replay), remote sniffing (via a demon process), and dynamically loadable plugins. Network traffic is displayed graphically and in detail; supplied plugins summarise traffic by direction (incoming, outgoing), source, and destination. Changes: Packet protocol decoding and TCP/IP data stream display, finer-grained control over non-root access, a DNS lookup plugin, and unloadable plugins.
About: The GGZ Gaming Zone (GGZ) is an Internet gaming center. Players login and sit at tables where they can play their favorite games and chat with other players. GGZ can support multiple rooms with varying skill levels. Changes: A new game module (tictactoe), conf file parser, multiple room support, server logging/debugging, support for leaving game tables, and a configurable MOTD.
About: Gtkfxp is a FXP client for GTK. With it you transfer files from a host to another host without the files ever going through your own computer. Changes: Showing the dates in the filelists, sorting files by name, size, or date, comparing two dirs with each other, and removing duplicate files, ability to remove entries from the queue, and a nicer selection style of the filelists.
About: gbook.cgi is a Perl CGI guestbook script. Its features include the ability to allow or deny HTML tags, replacement of German umlauts with the appropriate ISO signs, insertion of BR tags to maintain layout, configurable look and feel, sending emails to the administrator on new messages, and an administration interface. Changes: Multiple languages support.
About: Larbin is an HTTP Web crawler with an easy interface that runs under Linux. It can fetch more than 5 million pages a day on a standard PC (with a good network). Changes: Configuration improvements (specific search) and a small efficiency update.
About: Kannel is a WAP gateway. It attempts to provide this essential part of the WAP infrastructure freely to everyone so the market potential for WAP services, both from wireless operators and specialized service providers, will be realized as efficiently as possible. It also works as an SMS gateway for GSM networks. Almost all GSM phones can use it to send and receive SMS messages, so this is a way to serve many more clients than just those using a WAP phone. Kannel was among the first WAP gateways to be certified as WAP 1.1 compliant. Changes: Bug and portability fixes, and improvements to the SEMS SMSC protocol.
About: Objective Caml is the latest implementation of the Caml dialect of ML. It has full support for objects and classes combined with ML-style type reconstruction, a powerful module calculus in the style of Standard ML (but retaining separate compilation), a high-performance native code compiler (in addition to a Caml Light-style bytecode compiler), and labeled arguments with possible default value. Changes: The merger of the label system from O'Labl into OCaml, with syntactic changes (two syntaxes available for compatibility or for better use of labels), support for unboxed int32, int64, etc. integer types as well as other features to facilitate interface with external subsystems, many enhancements, and a few bugfixes in the compiler, runtime, and libraries.
About: Lazarus is a RAD Object Pascal Development IDE for use with Free Pascal. It is the open source equivalent of the Delphi VCL, designed to be widget-independent and to work on any platform where Free Pascal can be found. Changes: A more complete IDE that can be built on Linux and Win32 using the GTK+ widget set, opening and editing small units (while big units can be edited, opening them takes some time because of design methods used in the mwedit component), and NEW PROJECT menu options to create a skeleton project file and unit1. The IDE is still too immature to use as a true environment at this point but should improve as soon as the new edit control comes out; simple applications can be created with the LCL and it can compile simple Delphi applications.
About: Moon-buggy is a simple character graphics game, where you drive some kind of car across the moon's surface. Unfortunately there are dangerous craters there. Fortunately your car can jump over them! Changes: Version 0.5 brings a new highscore table, and should be able to compile on all POSIX-compliant systems.
About: LILO is a Boot loader for Linux/x86 and other PC operating systems. It is responsible for loading your Linux kernel from either a floppy or a hard drive and passing control to it. It is capable of booting beyond cylinder 1024 of a hard disk if the BIOS supports EDD packet call extensions to the int 0x13 interface. LILO can also be used to boot many other operating systems, including DOS, Windows (all versions), OS/2, and the BSD variants. The LILO distribution includes full source, documentation and support files. Changes: The 1024-cylinder limit has been removed by a patch that uses the EDD bios extensions and supports up to 2 TB disks.
About: Konnekt4 is the C port of a LISP connect-4 game, with the GUI written in TCL/Tk. The depth cutoff for the minimax algorithm can be changed on-the-fly from the GUI or the source file, allowing a much wider range of difficulty levels. Changes: Initial release.
About: The Hollywood Plus/DXR3 Linux Drivers provide kernel drivers for MPEG/DVD decoders based on the em8300 chipset. This includes the DXR3 from Creative Labs and the Hollywood Plus from Sigma Designs. Changes: Release of the video device after the last frame of the MPEG stream has been displayed, and splitting up the device driver to make it less messy.
About: GNU nano (Nano's ANOther editor, or Not ANOther editor) is an enhanced clone of the Pico text editor. Changes: New configure options --enable-tiny and --with-slang, removal of "Magic" extra line due to segfaults (note: breaks compatibility with Pico), better 8-bit character support, and fixes for many many segfaults.
About: IP Filter is a TCP/IP packet filter suitable for use in a firewall environment. To use, it can either be run as a loadable kernel module (recommended) or incorporated into your kernel. Scripts are provided to install and patch system files as required. IP Filter also supports transparent proxying via packet forwarding, including round-robin forwarding to achieve load-balanced proxy. Changes: Fixes for parsing of "range" with "portmap" and NAT timeouts for ICMP packets, slightly relaxed checking of FTP replies, and SunOS4 patches for ICMP redirects.
About: TreeDoc demonstrates a novel way to display hypertext and view documents, and provides free code for beginners to easily create such displays in HTML. The live demo at TreeDoc.org shows a "tree-control document," in which links are opened and closed in the middle of the calling page, right below the link, instead of on a new page. This lets you open a document's sections, subsections, definitions, etc. just as you would open subfolders in a "tree control." The pages are still 99% HTML, but with a couple encapsulated PHP functions (similar to link tags), so TreeDocs are as easy to create as ordinary Web pages. Changes: A fix for a subtle bug of links interfering with one another, opening links or tabs by default, and more robust detection of missing Javascript.
About: Samba is an software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients. It is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients. Changes: Testing against Windows 2000, with no *known* issues.
About: Embperl gives you the power to embed Perl code in your HTML or XML/XSLT documents and the ability to build your Web site out of small reusable objects in an OO-style. It can also build taglibs and use caching. You can also take advantage of hundreds of Perl modules which have already been written for such tasks as database access to a growing number of database systems. Embperl has several features especially useful for creating HTML, including dynamic tables, formfield-processing, escaping/unescaping, session handling, and more. Embperl is a server-side tool, which means that it's browser-independent. It can run in various ways: under mod_perl, as a CGI script, or offline. Changes: Adaptation to Perl 5.6 and Apache 1.3.12, and small fixes and enhancements.
About: jEdit is an Open Source text editor written in Java. It has many useful features, such as syntax highlighting, bracket matching, regular expression searching, multiple file search and replace, folding, and keyboard macros. jEdit also includes a powerful plugin architecture that allows more than 80 plugins to be downloaded and installed from within the editor. Changes: Fixes for a number of annoying bugs and a few API changes which make it easier to write plugins compatible the current release as well as the upcoming jEdit 2.5.
About: CoreLinux++ is an initiative to normalize methods and conventions for OOA/OOD/C++ development for Linux, materialized in a set of Open Source C++ class libraries to support common patterns and frameworks and exploit the C++ standards. Changes: Use of automake, autoconf, and libtool standard in the build process.
About: NeoMail is a web-based email client written in Perl. It provides access to a machine's local mail spools without requiring a POP3 server to be running, and without giving users shell access. It supports sending and receiving attachments, multiple folders, user themes and preferences, templates for interface generation, quotas, language translations, etc. Changes: Fixes for a nasty bug that would have allowed a user an arbitrary file to be deleted from $neomaildir given the properly contructed URL, and a bug that caused empty signatures to be replaced by the default signature when the prefs page is visited.
About: pgpenvelope is an interface to help meld using Pine with GnuPG. It also includes procmail filtering mechanisms. Changes: Fixes for critical problems associated with release 2.8.0.
About: The ax25-tools package contains the tools that you need to get going with AX.25 for Linux. AX.25 is a network protocol that is used by hamradio operators across packet radio wireless links. This package contains the network tools to configure hamradio interfaces and some of the hamradio specific network daemons. In addition to programs that understand AX.25, they also work with ROSE and Net/ROM hamradio protocols. Changes: A new fltk smdiag and friends, and replacement of the old non-X-based ones, changing of all references of rip98.conf to rip98d.conf, and a patch for nrparms and user_call.
About: LogDog monitors messages passing through syslogd and takes actions based on key words and phrases (which can be regular expressions). It has a configuration file which allows you to specify a list of key words or phrases to alert on and a list of commands that can be run when those words are encountered. Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement.
About: SendEmail is a lightweight, completely command line-based SMTP email delivery program. If you have the need to send email from a command prompt this tool is perfect. It was designed to be used in bash scripts, Perl programs, and Web sites, but it is also quite useful in many other contexts. It is written in Perl, and is unique in that it requires no special modules, and supports any platform that runs Perl. It has a straightforward interface, making it very easy to use. Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement.
About: TradeClient is a UNIX mail client and personal information manager for X. It uses GTK+ and includes support for multiple accounts. It supports POP3, IMAP, SMTP, and LDAP. It includes an address book that can interract fully with an LDAP server, and a personal calendaring system. Changes: Initial release.
About: gnochive is a GNOME frontend for all common archivers under Linux. Changes: A fix for a bug in the pass-locking function.
About: GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software suitable for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, a image format converter, etc. Changes: Version 1.1.20 of GIMP comes with a segfault-inducing bug. The patch for it can be found here: http://www.xach.com/gimp/news/files/resize.patch
About: These are XFree86/X.org drivers for the GeForce and Quadro chipsets. The GLX component is also included. Currently, there are drivers for Linux (IA32, AMD64/EM64T, and IA64), FreeBSD, and Solaris (x64 and x86). Changes: Initial release.
About: Gifsicle is a powerful command-line program for manipulating GIF image files. It has good support for transparency and colormap manipulation, simple image transformations (cropping, flipping), and creating, deconstructing, and editing GIF animations. It can also optimize GIF animations for space. Also included is a GIF animation viewer and a program that checks whether two GIFs look the same. Changes: A fix for a bug in the '--use-colormap FILE.gif' option, which could cause a segmentation fault.
About: Hearts is a KDE clone of the Windows program. It has beta support for network play. Changes: A fix for crashing during the second game, and Scorebox is now modeless.
About: WebEvent is a commercial Web calendar and scheduling program written in Perl. It features multiple calendar views and formats, repeating events, email reminders, public event submissions, meta-calendars, event change notifications, searchable calendars, and user authentication. Changes: A fix for the move-todos problem with embedded calendars and other more minor bugs before the final release.
About: MySQL Connector/ODBC is an ODBC driver for the MySQL database server. Changes: Updates to use new functions from MySQL 3.23.14 to make it more character-set-independent.
About: bzip2 is a portable, lossless data compressor based on the Burrows-Wheeler transform. It achieves good compression and runs on practically every (32/64-bit) platform in the known universe. The compression engine is also available as a library (libbz2), should you desire a programmatic interface. Changes: Large file (> 2GB) support on OSs that support it, faster compression (10% - 25%), much more robust with corrupted compressed data, buildable as a shared library, more portability, and a couple of minor bugfixes in file-handling and exit codes.
