About: ModLogAn is a modular logfile analyzer that combines speed with flexibility. It parses the logfiles generated by several server-types (HTTP, FTP, mail, streaming, etc.) and other logfile sources (flow-tools, ipchains, PABXs): currently 24 parsers. It features incremental logfile processing and internal resolving, and is able the split (mass-hosting) and combine logfiles (clusters) internally. The output can be based on the internal template engine to generate your own look & feel. Changes: Support for squid logs was added.
About: srvx is a services package written in C from the ground up, for IRC networks that are based on IRCu 2.10.*. It is both highly efficient and extensible. Its features include Wingate, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 proxy detection, and all the standard services users expect (ChanServ, NickServ, OpServ, Global). Changes: Numerous bugfixes and rewrites of core functions.
About: Nessus is a remote security scanner for Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Windows, and Mac OS X. It is plugin-based and performs over 20,000 security checks. It allows for reports to be generated in HTML, and suggests a solution for each finding. Changes: Better SMB checks (by poking into the remote registry and checking permissions), use of gmp 3.0, fixes for graph generation bugs and memory leaks, improved performance, and improved Nessus update plugins.
About: The SMS Server Tools send and receive short messages through GSM modems or mobile phones. Messages are stored as text files in spool directories. External programs or scripts of any language can be used to filter, inspect, and answer messages automatically. Events and alarms can be passed to scripts for integration in monitoring tools. The program generates performance statistics as well. This daemon supports the following message formats: 7bit GSM, 8bit ISO, 16bit Unicode, 8bit binary data (ringtones, logos, wap-push), user data header, flash, delivery report. Changes: Support for longer From: field (was 32 chars), and a new script to build an email->SMS gateway.
About: gdpc is a tool for visualising the output files of a molecular dynamic simulation. It can be customized to read almost any input file format and animate it. It can also be configured to output images of each frame. Changes: The commandline parameter handling was reworked, and should no longer cause segmentation faults if bad parameters are given. Support was added for dumping JPEG and for displaying different atomtypes with different colors. More useful examples are now included, and minor bugfixes were made.
About: PyGCS is a very stripped down MUD-like chat-server written entirely in Python. It has a single "room" and no large database to keep in memory and on disk. PyGCS has no embedded programming language. PyGCS is ideally meant to be a small multi-user real-time chat system for people who have a need to talk to more than one person at a time online. It fits somewhere in between the setup IRC uses (no walking between rooms so to speak) and the MUCK/MUSH/MOO style of server. Changes: Support for seeing a user's disconnect message when querying lastseen, removal of the literal 'l' command as an alias for look, addition of 'who' as an allowed command before a user is fully connected, and a mention of the password command in help-main.
About: MP3-Database is a tool to organize your MP3 collection. If you insert a CD with MP3 files in your CDROM drive, MP3DB can read all ID3 tags of the MP3 files. With this information MP3DB creates a database which can be searched for a specific song, artist, or CD. A GUI makes it easy to use the program. Any title found in the database can easily be added to a playlist or can instantly be played by XMMS. Changes: Accessing a MySQL database instead of using plain text files to store MP3 information, and a new function to update song information after the song has been added to the database.
About: pdf2html converts one PDF into a series of ready-to-use HTML pages with PNG images of individual pages. It runs GhostScript at high resolution and processes the output into low-res, 8-bit grayscale PNG's, using 17x15 times subsampling to achieve exactly 256 levels of gray. It is intended to convert PDF for online Web browsing where time is not critical but quality is desired. A special utility to print the content on a Epson-compatible 9-pin printer is also included (with 12 possible quality/speed tradeoffs). Changes: Addition of paging by clicking on the image of the page, fixes and improvements to the icons, and a separate index and a possibility to manually create an index.
About: ApaLogFilter is a Perl script which filters and manipulates web server logfiles. The purpose is to reduce the number of lines in the logfile to the relevant ones. Changes: A separate exception file was implemented.
About: cvsd is a wrapper program for CVS in pserver mode. It will run 'cvs pserver' under a special uid/gid in a chroot jail. cvsd is run as a daemon and is controlled through a configuration file. It is easy to configure and provides tools for setting up a rootjail and managing repositories. Changes: A new, more tolerant configuration file, an improved installation script, and more complete documentation with some troubleshooting tips.
About: Sysmon is a network monitoring tool designed to provide high performance and accurate network monitoring. Currently supported tests include monitoring of SMTP, IMAP, HTTP, TCP, UDP, Radius, NNTP, and POP3 servers. It also includes the ability to ping hosts and routers, as well as the ability to perform SNMP queries and generate alerts based on those results. Sysmon has the ability to understand real network topologies, including the ability to monitor multiple paths and only report the actual device that is down instead of a router that is down, and all the hosts behind it. Changes: Numerous memory leak fixes, including a stack corruption fix and a fix for an SMTP check that could cause monitoring to stop, addition of sysmond "pause" to pause monitoring as you do maintence and sysmond "reload" to parse config file, and if it is sane, begin using it, a fix for overwriting the PID file, and a minor fix in the way messages are handed off to sendmail.
About: libxml++ is a C++ wrapper for the libxml XML parser library. It has SAX and DOM-like APIs, but does not attempt to conform exactly to the DOM specifications because they are not aimed at C++. Its API is much simpler than the underlying libxml C API. Changes: Initial release. It includes complete functionality for uncompressed, local XML files, nodes, and properties. It does not validate XML and does not support namespaces or other 'advanced' features of the language.
About: The unixODBC project provides Unix applications with the same ODBC 3.51 API and facilities available under Windows. It provides a Driver Manager that supports the full ODBC API and performs the ODBC 3 to ODBC 2 translations with UNICODE to ANSI conversion. It also includes a set of graphical utilities that allow users to specify connections to DBMSes to be used by applications, a collection of ODBC drivers including a simple text based driver, an NNTP driver, a Postgres driver and others, and a selection of templates and libraries that to aid in the construction of ODBC drivers. It works with MySQL, Postgres, StarOffice/OpenOffice, Applixware, iHTML, PHP, Perl DBD::ODBC, and many other applications and drivers. Connection pooling is also provided to increase performance with applications such as PHP. Changes: Inclusion of odbctest, a Qt-based version of the API testing tool that should be of use for both application and driver writers, and support for descriptors (both implicit and explicit) of the increasing number of ODBC 3 drivers.
About: WeirdX is a pure Java X Window System server. WeirdX handles X protocols directly, so no proxy program is required. Changes: A Macintosh executable for starting up WeirdX and a slight hack for the alpha transparency.
About: tape2mp3 is a collection of programs which together can help in the process of converting tapes to mp3s. After recording your wav files from tapes, tape2mp3 will scan for track boundaries and split the giant wav file into smaller ones based on periods of silence in the file. Changes: Use of getopt, and the front end script is in Perl (rather than bash).
About: eForum is server side software that enables geographically distant participants to share ideas and enhance teamwork via the Web. It allows project moderators to manage feedback and project discussions, and can display interactive Q&A tools. Changes: This release is a large jump forward in eForum's functionality, and corrects a number of bugs from the previous release. It is now possible to subscribe to groups with email notifications -- each new message is emailed to the subscriber.
About: SMSLink implements a client/server gateway to the SMS protocol (short messages on the mobile phones). It requires the use of dedicated hardware (a serial GSM module). Both SMS emission and reception are supported, either in text-mode or in PDU-mode. It also includes an SMS to eMail gateway module. The server runs under Linux and FreeBSD and supports interactive mode via telnet. The command-line client already exists for Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UX, and Win32. A basic Web interface is also provided. Changes: SMSLink now fully supports sending in PDU mode (PDU mode reception will follow). This release also fixes a bug with Wavecom WM02 modules.
About: mod_dav enables Apache to understand the WebDAV protocol (extensions to HTTP). WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning", and is defined by RFC 2518. WebDAV is intended to replace proprietary authoring protocols such as those used by Frontpage or NetObjects' Fusion, but is also a complete set of protocols for manipulating a webserver's files and directories, and their properties. Changes: This is the final, stable release. Minor bugs were fixed, and some directives were added to help prevent DoS attacks.
About: VIPEC is an network analyser for electrical networks. It takes a description of an electrical network, and performs a simulation of the circuit response in the frequency domain. Output is in the form of 2-port parameters, and can be plotted on a grid and in Smithchart format. VIPEC supports various lumped circuit elements, as well as elements like transmission lines and 2-port data files. Changes: Support has been added for output of real and imaginary parts of the circuit input and output impedance.
About: TkGate is an event-driven digital circuit simulator with a TCL/Tk-based graphical editor. It supports a wide range of primitive circuit elements and user-defined modules for hierarchical design. The distribution comes with a number of tutorial and example circuits which can be loaded through the "Help" menu, and the example circuits include a simple CPU, programmed to run the Animals game. TkGate has multi-lingual support for English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Welsh, and Catalan. Changes: This release adds bugfixes (related to postscript output, bit tap, changing port type in the dialog box, and library module problems) and improved Japanese support (kanji input, printing, beginning of localized tutorials). Module ports are now easier to select.
About: WMpop is a Window Maker dock app that monitors a local (mbox format) or POP3/APOP mailbox to inform you when mail arrives. It displays the amount of mail in the mailbox (or unread mail if checked in the preference screen), a scrolling text with the email address of the senders (only for local mailbox at the moment) and a status led, indicating mail checking progression and errors. It can be configured and personalized (icons and sound) via a GTK+ GUI. Changes: A light diplaying the communication status to the POP3 server, and display of ?? when number of mail is unknown (before going online, for example).
About: GNU Zebra manages IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols. It supports BGP-4 protocol as described in RFC1771 (A Border Gateway Protocol 4) and BGP-4+, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. GNU Zebra has a good client interface, so the user can change configuration dynamically. Changes: Many OSPF-related critical bugfixes, addition of MPLS-VPN PE-RR functionality, and improvements to RIP and zebra interface up/down handling.
About: pdftohtml converts Portable Document Format files to HTML. This release converts text and links. Bold and italic face are preserved, but high level HTML structures (like lists or tables) are not yet generated. Images are ignored in the current version (but you can extract them from the pdf file using pdfimages, distributed with xpdf).
About: KCDLabel is a program to create labels, covers, and booklets for CD cases. It can include text, bitmapped images, and directory content recursively read from a directory. KCDlabel can print and output postscript files. It can also create round labels to stick on CDs. KCDLabel can access CDDB to retrieve information about a CD. Changes: Fixes for warnings/bugs in the compilation phase, modification of the print output, and new "positions" and "objects information" in the main window.
About: Build Your Linux Disk (BYLD) helps you build a GNU/Linux distribution on a single floppy disk or a CDROM to use as you want (net client, rescue disk, etc.). Changes: A fix so that floppies greater than 1440k can be used.
About: phpMyChat is an easy-to-install, easy-to-use multi-room chat based on PHP and a database, supporting MySQL, PostgreSQL, and ODBC. It supports some IRC-like commands, and has been translated to 37 different languages. Changes: A fix for a DB query error while kicking a user.
About: Pybliographer is a tool for managing bibliographic databases. It supports several bibliography formats (BibTeX, Refer, Medline, ISI, Ovid) and can be used for searching, editing, reformatting, etc, through its nice graphical interface for GNOME. Due to its nature, it can be extended to many uses (generating HTML pages according to bibliographic searches, etc). It is provided with sample scripts. Changes: The ability to read Windows BibTeX files (with CRLF), and fixes for a bug when cancelling a close action initiated from the window manager, bugs in Style files and in the style mechanism, and when adding a new field during edition, previous changes are not discarded anymore.
About: Hyperschema is a public domain tool written in [C or Python] and SQL to turn an Oracle database schema into a web site. Changes: Initial Freshmeat announcement
About: jpig is a program to read and decompress JPEG images, remap their pallettes, and convert image areas to characters for display on a standard Linux text console. Changes: Initial Freshmeat announcement.
About: This is a PHP class that attempts to validate a given e-mail address at three levels: matching the address against a RFC compliant regular expression, verifing the existence of the destination SMTP server by verifying the respective DNS MX record, and connecting to that server to see if the given address is accepted as a valid recipient. The class also features a debugging output option that lets you see the remote SMTP server connection and data exchange dialog to see the real cause why an apparently valid address may not be accepting messages. Changes: Initial Freshmeat announcement.
About: WING is a recursive acronym for Wing Is Not Galaga. It is a space-shooter type arcade game that is based on the cross-platform game library, Allegro. It currently has 6 levels of play, pre-rendered 2.5d graphics (graphics that look 3d but are rendered in 2d), sound effects, and .wav quality audio. Changes: This version has the AI and the levels added. Numerous bug fixes have been implemented. The code has been massively revamped and the game as a whole has been polished. The code also compiles without changes on every platform that the Allegro game library supports.
About: ency reads the data file(s) from the Star Trek encyclopedias & episode guides CD-ROM and outputs search results as text or HTML. It also includes a library for writing your own software. Changes: Videos support captions, pictures and videos now working in all encyclopedia/episode guide versions, htmlenc can save direct to a file, st_init() reports errors, and there are new functions to manipulate the structs.
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: Description of how to pass variables (arguments) into PHP pages linked in place by TreeDoc.
About: XDBM is a database designed specifically to handle XML data. It offers greater speed (since the data is stored in a preparsed format), lower memory usage (since only those parts of the file needed are loaded into memory) and faster searching for XML elements. XDBM can also parse and store plain text XML files. XDBM aims to be as close to the W3's DOM specification as possible. XDBM also comes with utilities for converting between XDBM file format and plain text and for reading XDBM files in less and emacs. Changes: Bug fix release.
About: masqidentd is an Ident daemon for Linux systems that use IP masquerading. It implements the recommendations in RFC1413. It also has the ability to forward Ident requests from a client to a machine sitting behind the masquerade service. Users also have the ability to override the default Ident response. This program is most useful for people who use IRC using mIRC or Pirch behind IP masquerade. masqidentd is intended for use with ipchains only. Changes: Use of SIGALRM removed; now uses select for timeout. Use of buffered IO with select removed; now uses sysread/syswrite. Timeout limit changed from 30 seconds to 3. Code added to change 'root' username to 'ident' before responding to request; this is useful when using IRC via ssh port forwarding.
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: Added csamon, a small utility to dump the SemaphoreCommon CSA, better CSA reuse with subset and combine methods, and functors to MemoryStorage.
About: HMC manages hundred of hosting sites with a single Web interface. It is designed for sites which provide hosting space to customers on a standard basis, like Unix without access to CGI, Unix with CGI, NT Server with ASP, etc. All of these are managed from a centralized database and some installed scripts on the Web servers, so you can administer a Web server farm using a browser and MySQL. Changes: Install script, password protected administration pages with diferent access levels, NT script updated, (now runs as a service), new code for the Unix version, stats generation using webalizer, lots of bugs fixed againt 0.2 and 0.4pre1
