About: GTKtalog is an archiver to store a CD file tree structure. It can be used to easily browse a CD-ROM database. Each disk, folder and file has a size, date, category, description, and content parameter and can be completely edited or deleted. The file search module can do searches on filename, foldername with name, category description, date, filesize, and content parameter. Each filetype has its own icon. It possible to use programs like tar, arj, zip, or scripts to extract information from files to include in the database. Gtktalog can mount, scan, umount, and eject a CD-ROM in the background. Changes: Category and description refresh list bug fixed, possibility to propagate just category, description or both in subfolders and files, and the current catalog name is displayed in the main window bar.
About: tinc is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) daemon that uses tunneling and encryption to create a secure private network between multiple hosts on the Internet. This tunneling allows VPN sites to share information with each other over the Internet without exposing any information.
About: Apache is the world's most popular HTTP server, being quite possibly the best around in terms of functionality, efficiency, security and speed. Changes: Over 130 improvements, including portability and security fixes, documentation enhancements, and performance improvements. See the changelog for a full list of changes.
About: mod_ssl provides provides strong cryptography for the Apache 1.3 webserver via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1). It is based on the SSL/TLS toolkit OpenSSL and supports all SSL/TLS related functionality, including RSA and DSA/DH cipher support, X.509 CRL checking, etc. Additionally it provides special Apache related facilities like DBM and shared memory based inter-process SSL session caching. per-URL SSL session renegotiations, DSO support, etc. Changes: This is the corresponding mod_ssl version for Apache 1.3.9.
About: Gnome1394 allows one to access the IEEE 1394 bus (FireWire, iLink) in an easy way from Gnome. It needs the IEEE1394 kernel patch and the library for raw access to the bus. All can be found on the project's homepage. Note that at the current stage access is very limited and only simple bus transactions are possible. It doesn't do useful things at the moment, target audience are developers and people who want to see that Linux is starting to support IEEE1394. Changes: Initial announcement.
About: sn is a small news system for sites which serve perhaps a few dozen newsgroups, and which have a slow connection to the Internet. The target user is a home or SOHO with a single modem connection to the Internet and serving a few workstations. sn also includes a mail-to-news filter. Changes: Lots of bug fixes.
About: Jetty is an Open Source HTTP Servlet Server written in Java. It is a full featured HTTP/1.1 server and a Servlet container. It is designed to be small, fast, embeddable and extensible. It supports HTTP/1.1, servlets 2.3, and JSP 1.2. Changes: Minor bug fixes with ThreadedServer, HtmlFilter, plus others.
About: MP3c is a curses-based audio CD-to-MP3/OGG converter with CDDB support. It can be used in an interactive menu environment or a batch mode which lets you encode automatically. MP3c tries to find the most useful information in a CDDB entry, and even recognizes sampler CDs correctly. It is very configurable and can be used with every available encoder, ripper, and tag editor. It is available in different languages (currently English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, and German). Changes: Small bugfixes, some changes to CDDB-examination, I/O-stuff rewritten, automatic CDDB-directory creation, tempfile-creation changed, batch-file creation totally rewritten from the scratch, batchfiles can be called with different options, which allow ripping of more than one cd before encoding it, and little memory-leak fixed.
About: ClanBomber is a Bomberman-like multiplayer game that uses ClanLib, a free multi-platform C++ game SDK. It is fully playable and features computer controlled bombers, but it is recommended to play with friends (3-8 players is best). Changes: New AI (still under development), moved levels out of datafile, you can now easily add/edit levels without recompiling, improved joypad handling and support for more than 3 gamepads (needs CVS clanlib), new and improved levels, new maptiles (Ice, Arrows), better looking menus, new winner graphics and sound, new credits screen, and many bugfixes.
About: GNU DDD, the Data Display Debugger, is a GUI to command-line debuggers like GDB, DBX, JDB, XDB, Ladebug, WDB, the Perl debugger, or the Python debugger. It provides a graphical data display where complex data structures can be explored incrementally and interactively.
About: Terraform allows you to create fractal terrain (also called a height field) and transform it using a number of algorithms. It is meant to be a tool for those who want to generate digital terrain models for use in raytracing or other simulations. Terraform features different views and colormaps and has a preview mode which features interactive real-time rotation of the terrain object. Terraform is written for the GNOME desktop environment. Changes: Now compiles with GCC 2.95 and contains some internal memory management improvements.
About: LOMAC uses Low Water-Mark Mandatory Access Control to protect the integrity of processes and data from viruses, trojan horses, malicious remote users, and compromised network server daemons. The LOMAC loadable kernel module can be used to harden Linux systems without any changes to existing kernels, applications, or configuration files. Due to its simplicity, LOMAC itself requires no configuration, regardless of the users and applications present on the system. Although some features and fixes remain to be implemented, LOMAC presently provides sufficient protection to thwart some attacks, and is stable enough for everyday use. Changes: The major improvements over the previous version include compatibility with both the 2.0 and 2.2 series of Linux kernels, the elmination of shell pipeline demotion problems, and increased stability.
About: VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display system which allows you to view a computing "desktop" environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures. Changes: This update to the Unix version includes various fixes and new features to the server, as well as a complete rewrite of the viewer giving it much more 'customisability'. An updated Windows and Macintosh package will follow within the next few weeks.
About: GNU Portable Threads (Pth) is a very portable POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix platforms providing non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multiple threads of execution ("multithreading") inside server applications. All threads run in the same address space, but each thread has its own individual program-counter, run-time stack, signal mask and errno variable. The scheduling is done in a cooperative way, i.e. the threads are dispatched based on priority and pending events. The event facility allows threads to wait until various types of events occur, including pending I/O on filedescriptors, elapsed timers, pending I/O on message ports, thread and process termination, and even customized callback functions. Changes: This is the start of the new stable Pth 1.1 series. Major changes since Pth 1.0 are support for SVR4/SUSv2 makecontext(2) mctx variant, barrier synchronization objects, overhauled autoconf environment, fixed and enhanced POSIX semantics for replacement functions, Sfio support via special Pth/Sfio discipline, etc. Users are now encouraged to upgrade to the 1.1 series.
About: IMP, the Internet Messaging Program, allows Web-based access to IMAP and POP3 mail servers and provides a range of features normally found only in desktop email clients. Changes: This is a bugfix release on the stable tree. Fixed Nynorks-Norwegian, fixed French setup.lang file (the lines were not properly closed out) and fixed folder's subscription HTML.
About: Cfengine is a tool for setting up and maintaining BSD and System-5-like operating system optionally attached to a TCP/IP network. You can think of cfengine as a very high level language, much higher level than Perl or shell: a single statement can result in many hundreds of operations being performed on multiple hosts. Cfengine is good at performing a lot of common system administration tasks, and allows you to build on its strengths with your own scripts. Changes: Fixed some bugs.
About: World Foundry is a 3D level game engine and asset production pathway with over 170,000 lines of code. It was originaly created as a commercial product, but is now being released under the GPL. The engine was designed from the beginning to be cross platform, and ran on Windows (DirectX, GL), and the Sony Playstation. The production pathway ran on Windows, and extended 3DStudio Max to be our level editor. The engine is currently being ported to Linux (it runs, but needs work), with plans to port the production pathway as well. Developers are wanted to help with this effort. Changes: Initial release.
About: AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) is a free replacement for Tripwire(tm). It generates a database that can be used to check the integrity of files on server. It uses regular expressions for determening which files get added to the database. You can use several message digest algorithms to ensure that the files have not been tampered with. Changes: New command (--update) which does the normal check and non-interactively updates the database, a serious bug fixed that caused invalid data to be written to the database as well as fixes for various minor bugs and added support for OSs that don't have readdir_r. Please update to this version and re-initialize your database.
About: Common C++ is a highly portable C++ class library meant primarily for the development of portable threaded applications. Support is provided both for POSIX platforms and native builds under Win32. The goal is to provide a truly common C++ framework for writing portable threaded applications that do not require a huge amount of runtime overhead to support, and hence can make C++ and threads suitable even for the development of trivial servers and applications. Changes: Many community submitted bug fixes.
About: mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs in a single network diagnostic tool. It features a console as well as a GTK based interface. Changes: The report module now reports the added accuracy and "configure" now understands how to build the console-only version in a GTK+ environment without tricks.
About: gcombust is a CD burner GUI. It works as a GTK+ frontend for mkisofs, mkhybrid, cdrecord, and cdlabelgen. It has primitive support for controlling the directory (root) structure and size of an image without copying files/symlinking or writing 10 lines of arguments. It can also maximize disk usage by hinting at which directories/files to use. Changes: Verify option (somewhat experimental), Norwegian translation and a few other minor fixes.
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: Bugfixes and small enhancements.
About: cdparanoia reads audio from the CDROM directly as data, with no analog step between, and writes the data to a file or pipe in WAV, AIFC or raw 16 bit linear PCM. Cdparanoia will read correct, rock-solid audio data from inexpensive drives prone to misalignment, frame jitter and loss of streaming during atomic reads. cdparanoia will also read and repair data from CDs that have been damaged in some way.
About: Randtype is a small utility to read either standard input or text files and display the output, character-by-character or line-by-line, at random intervals. The randomness can be refined on the command line. Changes: Magic strings work on stdin and a couple other fixes.
About: setMyip is a perl client for the 'myip.org' service. It implements its own socket code, and does not require any additional utilities or programs, such as wget, http, or lynx. It is also very easy to setup, you just have to answer a few simple questions. Changes: Now supports creation of new accounts on myip.org, implements new parsing of html comments for reliablity in status detection and when prompting for a password, it does not echo it to the console anymore. Also added sanity checking for valid data.
About: ppstats (Personal Proxy Statistics) is used to help users and administrators participate in the Distributed.Net effort. It provides detailed information related to the Distributed.Net personal proxy, including graphs, charts, totals, and averages. Changes: Added Last Seen column for all categories, added error checking for all required INI file variables. fixed various typos and HTML errors, reduced redundant code sections and updated documentation.
About: audio-entropyd reads sound from a stereo soundcard, takes the difference between the left and right channels and feeds the result (via a secure hash) to the /dev/random entropy pool. This can be useful for machines which require a lot of random data (e.g IPsec security gateways) to ensure that the kernel entropy pool does not deplete and /dev/random does not block. Changes: This is an alpha release to enable other developers to review the design. Please do not use this version in a production environment.
About: Pontifex provides a usable version of the encryption algorithm outlined in Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. Thanks to Counterpane Systems for the algorithm. Changes: First announcement.
About: The Newsroom is an addon module for the Falken BBS Software for Linux. The Newsroom allows the Sysop to post messages in a file called, newsroom.dat which is a standard ASCII type of file, and can easily be modified by the Sysop, or by anyone who has correct permissions set up. The messages that are posted by the Sysop remain to be displayed to everyone, until the Sysop elects to remove the message, or the messages from the datafile. With, or without any messages, a brief display of the header will appear when The Newsroom finishes up, and exits to the BBS. Changes: A few lines of code were changed, dealing with a new e-mail address, removing and renaming other areas, and resetting a few areas of the module.
