[001] - abcm2ps 3.1.11 (Development)
by Guido Gonzato (http://freshmeat.net/users/goccia/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 09:21

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Conversion

About: abcm2ps is a package that converts music tunes from ABC format to
PostScript. Based on abc2ps version 1.2.5, it was developed mainly to
print baroque organ scores that have independant voices played on one or
more keyboards, and a pedal-board. It introduces many extensions to the
ABC language that make it suitable for classical music.

Changes: Minor bugs that affected multi-voice mode were fixed in this
release.

[002] - ACP modem (Mwave) driver 1.0.4 (Stable)
by Paul B Schroeder (http://freshmeat.net/users/paulsch/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 19:02

System :: Hardware
System :: Networking :: Monitoring :: Hardware Watchdog

About: This is a set of Linux drivers for the ACP modem (Mwave), a
WinModem. It is composed of a loadable kernel module and a user level
application. Together these components support direct attachment to public
switched telephone networks (PSTNs) and support selected world wide
countries. This driver provides support for the IBM ThinkPad 600E. The
modem also supports the standard communications port interface (ttySx) and
is compatible with the Hayes AT Command Set.

Changes: This release fixes build issues for users of Red Hat 8.0.

[003] - Active Spam Killer 2.3.beta1 (Development)
by Marco Paganini (http://freshmeat.net/users/paganini/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 19:27

Communications :: Email :: Filters

About: Active Spam Killer (ASK) protects your email account against spam
by confirming the sender's email address before actual delivery takes
place. The confirmation happens by means of a "confirmation message" that
is automatically sent to all "unknown" users. Once the sender replies to
that message (a simple reply will do), future emails from that person will
be delivered immediately. You can also specify (regexp) addresses to be
immediately accepted, rejected (with a nastygram) or ignored. The package
also includes a utility to scan your old mailboxes and generate a list of
emails to be accepted automatically.

Changes: Messages previously sent to the Bulk and Junk mailboxes are now
sent to the queue instead of specific mailboxes; the X-ASK-Info email
header now contains a timestamp and a "history" of the processing done to
the message, and also displays the matching whitelist line. Some bugfixes
have been made and the code has been cleaned up. A Finnish translation has
been added.

[004] - Anubis 3.5.0 (Stable)
by Wojciech Polak (http://freshmeat.net/users/ghostface/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 05:03

Communications :: Email :: Filters
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Security :: Cryptography

About: Anubis is an outgoing mail processor. It goes between the MUA (Mail
User Agent) and the MTA (Mail Transport Agent), and can perform various
sorts of processing and conversion on-the-fly in accordance with the
sender's specified rules, based on a highly configurable regular
expressions system. It operates as a proxy server, and can edit outgoing
mail headers, encrypt or sign mail with the GnuPG, build secure SMTP
tunnels using the TLS/SSL encryption even if your mail user agent doesn't
support it, or tunnel a connection through a SOCKS proxy or WinGate proxy
server. It also supports anonymous remailers.

Changes: Support for the ESMTP authentication (CRAM-MD5 and LOGIN) has
been added, which is designed for MUAs that cannot speak the ESMTP AUTH
command. The "EXTERNAL" section has been replaced with a translation map
for remote or local users. A `msg2smtp.pl' tool was added to the `contrib'
directory, which is useful for Mutt users that would like to use Anubis.

Tuesday, October 15th 2002 04:55



About: ASEM-51 is a macro assembler for the Intel MCS-51 family of
microcontrollers. It is based on the standard Intel syntax, and
implements conditional assembly, macros, and include file processing.
The assembler can output object code in Intel-HEX or Intel OMF-51 format
as well as a detailed list file. The package includes support for more
than seventy 8051 derivatives, a bootstrap program for MCS-51 target
boards, and documentation in ASCII and HTML format. It runs on MS-DOS,
Windows, and Linux.

Changes: Support for Win32 and Linux, macro processing, dramatically
improved conditional assembly, object code output in absolute Intel OMF-51
format (including debug information), 37 new MCU files, documentation in

[007] - auditunlink 0.0.1
by DJ Flux (http://freshmeat.net/users/djflux/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 06:02

Security
System :: Logging

About: auditunlink is a Linux shared library that intercepts the unlink
system call, and logs which process, program, and user initiated it, and
to which file the call was applied. It is designed to be loaded with
LD_PRELOAD or /etc/ld.so.preload, and allows system administrators to log
file deletions even if a user has the proper file system permissions to
perform the deletion.

[008] - Bayesian Mail Filter 0.9.3 (Development)
by Tom Marshall (http://freshmeat.net/users/tommarshall/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 02:08

Communications :: Email :: Filters

About: This is a mail filter which uses the Bayes algorithm as explained
in Paul Graham's article "A Plan for Spam". It aims to be smaller, faster,
and more versatile than other filters. The implementation is ANSI C and
uses POSIX functions. Supported platforms are (in theory) all POSIX
systems. It is independent from external programs and libraries, supports
multiple database formats (flat files, libdb, and MySQL), and uses
efficient zero-copy processing. SpamAssassin style passthru mode and
headers are supported.

Changes: Both maildir and mbox formats are now fully supported, and all
known libdb issues have been resolved. A bug in the -N (reregister as
nonspam) mode has been fixed, and mail header handling is now case
insensitive. The new heap checker exposed text-mode memory leaks which
have been fixed. The rpm package has been built and tested on RedHat 8.0,
and requires libdb4.0.

[009] - BFilter 0.7.2
by jart (http://freshmeat.net/users/jart/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 23:11

Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP

About: BFilter is a smart filtering HTTP proxy. It removes ads, webbugs,
and popups. Unlike the majority of similar tools, it doesn't rely on a
list of blocked URLs, but instead parses HTML on the fly, and detects ads
using a set of heuristic rules. BFilter has a built-in JavaScript engine
which detects popups and js-generated ads.

Changes: Popups are now detected and removed, and XHTML processing has
been fixed. This release compiles and runs under Cygwin.

and principal-axis calculations, the creation of a constructable
static-body Molecule class and extensive cleanup of molecule
building/folding code. Also, the PredicateIterator class has been
introduced for use in selective molecule iteration. Finally, there have
been numerous code cleanups and bugfixes.

[017] - Cluster Installation Finishing Scripts 1.0
by Joe Landman (http://freshmeat.net/users/landman/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 13:34

Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics
Scientific/Engineering :: Medical Science Apps.

About: The Finishing Scripts for Cluster Installations handle specific
post-installation configuration that might not be convienent nor possible
using existing cluster installation methods. The usual installation
process is used to build a reasonably configured node, and the system then
reboots into normal mode, achieves network visibility, and executes the
finishing script. The finishing script handles all of the finer details of
installing packaged or non-packaged software, tweaking installation,
setting host/net specific parameters/files, etc. It is controlled via a
single, easily modified script.

Changes: The finishing script description page was finished.

[018] - Contentmanager for phpGroupWare 0.4.2
by Pim Snel (http://freshmeat.net/users/mipmip/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 13:35

Database :: Front-Ends
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: Contentmanager for phpGroupWare is a multi-site, multi-database,
multi-user, multi-group, database driven contentmanager written in and for
the phpGroupWare Framework. Contentmanager for phpGroupWare makes it
possible to have a lot of site databases moderated by a lot of people.

tool for Web developers who need to setup a contentmanager for their
frontend product. It allows you to setup a nice idiot-proof interface for
a complex database design within minutes. It has only been tested with
MySQL, but because it only uses the phpGW-API database calls, it should be
able to work with PostgreSQL too.

Tuesday, October 15th 2002 18:09

Communications :: Chat
Internet

About: ctrlproxy is an IRC server with multiserver support. It runs as a
daemon and connects to a number of IRC servers, then allows you to connect
from a workstation and work as the user that is logged in to the IRC
server. After you disconnect, it maintains the connection to the server.
It acts like any normal IRC server, so you can use any IRC client to
connect to it. It supports multiple client connections to one IRC server
(under the same nick), allowing you to connect to IRC using your IRC nick,
even while you have an IRC session open somewhere else. It supports
logging (in the same format as the irssi IRC client), password
authentication, and ctcp (in case no clients are connected).

About: dbm is a very simple Perl script which allows you to
manipulate/read DBM files from the command line, or using your favourite
editor. It supports any DBM formats which your system has Perl modules
for.

Changes: Safer operation was implemented: databases now need to be created

information into an SQL database. DigitalDJ can then use this information
to create playlists based on a number of criteria.

Changes: The code base has been completely rewritten. Saved playlist
support has been added. A TV display mode with X10 remote control support
has been added.

[023] - Drall 1.9.3.0 (Development)
by Henrik Edlund (http://freshmeat.net/users/henrik/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 11:03

Communications :: File Sharing
Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP

About: Drall is a script which allows users to access their directories
and files remotely without the need of using insecure FTP and telnet. It
enables the user to treat the remote file system as if it was on their
local hard disk through a normal Web browser. The interface resembles the
well known Norton Commander and Midnight Commander. Single or dual-panel
views makes it easy to see an overview of the file system and the modular
design means you only use the features you need. Drall is written in Perl
for easy customization and expansion.

[031] - FFT 2.0 beta 4
by MainNerve (http://freshmeat.net/users/mainnerve/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 02:18

System :: Networking
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
System :: Networking :: Monitoring

About: FFT is an alternative traceroute program for displaying the route
packets take to an IP network host. Unlike Van Jacobson's traceroute,
which is available on almost every platform today, FFT uses TCP in order
to elicit ICMP TIME_EXCEEDEDs or other IP route data. As a result, FFT
often executes much faster and sees behind some configurations of
firewalls. Its stateful engine lets the user know when it encounters a
stateful firewall or other interesting conditions. It also does AS number
and netblock name lookups en route. Most importantly, FFT can trace
specific TCP-based protocol routes (not just IP) to assist network
engineers with manual fault isolation of network application problems.

Changes: Some compilation and UI changes were made.

condensed version, the Coverage analysis. It's designed to be fast and to
provide a quick overview of very large programs, such as KDE applications.
It uses Cachegrind as profiling backend, which uses the CPU simulator in
Valgrind. Thus, profiling does not need any preparation, can cope with
shared libraries and plugin architectures, and allows for profile runs to
not influence the measuring by the profile itself, however, the
disadvantage to this is slower profile runs.

Changes: The Call-Tree patch was updated to Valgrind 1.0.4.

by Benoit Grégoire (http://freshmeat.net/users/benoitg/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 17:15

Office/Business :: Financial
Software Development :: Libraries

About: LibOFX is a generic library to allow financial software to easily
support the Open Financial eXchange specification. Two utilities are
currently included with LibOFX: ofxdump and ofxtoqif. ofxdump writes to
stdout, in human readable form, everything the library understands about a
particular OFX response file. ofxtoqif is an OFX response to the QIF
(Quicken Interchange Format) file converter. Much OFX information is lost
since the QIF file format is very primitive, but ofx2qif should allow
importation of bank statements in any software that support QIF until said
software supports the library directly. LibOFX was implemented from the
full OFX 1.6 spec and comes with a developers manual.

Changes: This is an alpha version, released to accompany the new GnuCash
1.7.1 alpha release. account_name has been added to the OfxAccountData
struct (contains a human readable identifier of the account). The changed
include file location in recent versions of OpenSP has been fixed, and
there is basic work for investment account and securities (not yet
complete).

[076] - Moto 0.14.0 (Development)
by Dave Hakim (http://freshmeat.net/users/dhakim/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 17:20

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries

About: Moto is a server-side scripting language much like PHP or
ColdFusion. The difference between Moto and other server-side scripting
languages is that Moto pages can run interpreted (like PHP) or be natively
compiled into dynamically loadable Apache modules (an entire Web site
could be compiled into one .so file). It comes with a full suite of
objects and functions for state and session management, MySQL database
connectivity, and a slew of utility classes like stacks, hashtables,
string buffers, etc. There is also an included interface definition
language for exposing C functions to Moto. All object allocation occurs in
a shared memory segment, so maintaining state in objects between page
views is a snap.

Changes: This is the first release to differentiate between bytes and
characters. It includes support for a new byte datatype. It adds several
new language features and extension functions for manipulating and
converting between byte and character arrays and strings. It adds support
for retrieving file uploads and database blobs as byte arrays, and
outputting and saving them correctly.

System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking

About: ulog-acctd is a userspace network accounting daemon which generates
log files of network traffic for accounting purposes. It collects headers
of IP packets that travel through the Linux 2.4+ netfilter. It writes
accounting information to a log which can include protocol type, source

for packets. This has been fixed. IP packets with short TCP/UDP/ICMP
headers (but complete IP headers) now have their ports set to 0. The
Texinfo documentation has been updated. The statistics were made more
meaningful.

[107] - SpamAssassin 2.43
by Justin Mason (http://freshmeat.net/users/jmason/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 13:46

Communications :: Email :: Filters

About: SpamAssassin is a mail filter that uses a wide range of heuristic
tests on mail headers and body text to identify spam. Once identified, the
mail can then be optionally tagged as spam for later filtering. It
provides a command line tool to perform filtering, a client-server system
to filter large volumes of mail, and Mail::SpamAssassin, a set of Perl
modules that implement a Mail::Audit plugin -- allowing SpamAssassin to be
used in a Mail::Audit filter, a spam-protection proxy POP/IMAP server, or
almost anywhere.

Changes: The AWL change has been reverted; instead of decreasing the AWL
bias gradually to allow frequently seen addresses to get into the
"nonspam" area, it now behaves like 2.31 did, in that the AWL simply
represents the long term average score from that correspondent. A core
dump bug in spamd has been worked around, except for the "-m" switch. The
"-m" switch relies on signal handling in the Perl interpreter, which seems
to have some bugs that cannot be worked around reliably on some platforms,
so its use is no longer recommended.

[108] - SpamProbe 0.7e
by Brian Burton (http://freshmeat.net/users/bburton/)
Tuesday, October 15th 2002 19:05

Communications :: Email :: Filters

About: SpamProbe is a spam detection program that uses a Bayesian analysis
of the frequencies of terms used in the email. Because it filters email
based on content rather than on general rules, it easily adapts itself to
the types of email that each individual user normally receives.

Changes: This release adds shared/public dual database functionality.
Using the -D option allows all users to share a large read-only database
of common terms while storing terms with different counts in their own
private databases. It also adds improved performance when scanning many
small mboxes (mh directories), improved commandline argument checking,
changes to file locking to use shared locks when performing read-only
operations, and the use of autoconf instead of a simple Makefile.

Tuesday, October 15th 2002 19:04

Utilities

About: SSH ManaGeR (sshmgr) is a Unix open ssh client wrapper script
written in Perl. It is a handy commandline utility for people who have
many remote user accounts that are accessed via ssh, sftp, or scp. sshmgr
includes scmdmgr (which allows for remote command execution), sftpmgr
(which behaves identically to sshmgr except instead of starting a shell,
it's an sftp session), and scpget/scpput (both are scp wrappers), all of
which utilize a shared configuration file for user account profiles.
Passwords are not stored in this plain text configuration file.

Changes: This release migrates ~/.sshmgr.d/profiles.conf to ~/.sshmgr
(thus obsoleting the ~/.sshmgr.d directory).

Tuesday, October 15th 2002 05:00

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Ripping
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Conversion
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players :: MP3

About: T.E.A.R. (pronounced Tair) is a console-based frontend for common
MP3/OGG creation tools which automates all of the settings involved in
ripping and encoding a CD. TEAR uses the CDDB database at freedb.org to
name, organize, and add ID3 tags to each encoded file. It can use either
cdparanoia or cdda2wav to rip .WAV files from the CD and it can use lame,
bladeenc, gogo, or OggEnc to encode them. TEAR also supports SMP.

Changes: The program was rewritten, and a number of features have been
greatly simplified. Ogg support was reintroduced, SMP is now supported,
and the program now shuts down correctly if it receives a kill signal. All
config file variations have been taken into account and should all be
interoperable, although some old options no longer exist.

Tuesday, October 15th 2002 00:04

Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: First Person Shooters

About: WStab, the Wolfenstein Statistics Bot, attempts to be a completely
passive daemon to track RTCW players in realtime via RCON status and
pb_sv_plist queries in conjunction with the games.log file. At the end of
every round, it inserts new statistics into a MySQL database and prints
statistics during warmup. It can be run on any Linux RTCW server, but no
PHP code is included for displaying the stats on a Web page. You can
either roll your own, or, preferably, join the WSN (Wolfenstein
Statistical Network), a free service offered to all servers who use WStab.
WSN will maintain a database and Web page for each of your servers,
including Web-based administrative control.

Changes: This release adds memory rollback functionality, which stops
warm-ups from being recorded and fixes the problem with the "no stats
rounds". The database queries were rehashed and GBan functionality was
redesigned, so that the program uses significantly less resources than it
did in the past.

Utilities

About: XStow is a replacement for GNU Stow written in C++. It supports all
features of Stow with some extensions. XStow and GNU Stow are programs for
managing the installation of software packages. It keeps each package in
its own directory while making it appear that all packages are installed
in the same place. Unlike GNU Stow, XStow does not depend on Perl, and can
be compiled statically for such uses as rescue disks. XStow is fully
compatible with GNU Stow, meaning that you can switch from one to the
other at will.

Changes: This release allows limiting the access of xstow within the
target tree. This is useful if the stow dir is "/stow" and the target dir
"/", but all packages will be installed in "/usr/local". Some bugs have
been fixed.

It interactively handles file types when adding and importing. It simplifies parallel development by keeping track of what has been merged between any two branches. It avoids the classic CVS glitches that arise when concurrent file adds conflict, when there is a race between changing and removing a file, or when dead files are resurrected. Lastly, it treats the directory structure as a versioned element, allowing files to be renamed and moved without losing history or merge context. As the user navigates the repository using the update command, Meta-CVS automatically rearranges the directory structure of the sandbox to match. Changes: prop reads from the correct map file now. filt no longer demangles names that are prefixed with MCVS/. update gets the -C option (throw away changes), which requires CVS 1.11. More commands have been added: export, watchers, editors, watch, edit, and unedit. Debug tracing now shows the invocation of CVS. A script called "mcvs-upgrade'' has been added which provides an easy way for Meta-CVS to compile and upgrade itself from sources, even if it was installed from a binary distribution.

Changes: Mipmaps were added. Loading an image and building the images menus are now less blocking. The drag and drop support has been improved, and GLiv does not start with the Open dialog if there are no filenames on the command line. Some speedups and minor changes were made to the GUI. The GTK+-2.0 Accelerator Maps are now supported. Most controls are in the menus, so the keyboard accelerators can be changed.

It interactively handles file types when adding and importing. It simplifies parallel development by keeping track of what has been merged between any two branches. It avoids the classic CVS glitches that arise when concurrent file adds conflict, when there is a race between changing and removing a file, or when dead files are resurrected. Lastly, it treats the directory structure as a versioned element, allowing files to be renamed and moved without losing history or merge context. As the user navigates the repository using the update command, Meta-CVS automatically rearranges the directory structure of the sandbox to match. Changes: prop reads from the correct map file now. filt no longer demangles names that are prefixed with MCVS/. update gets the -C option (throw away changes), which requires CVS 1.11. More commands have been added: export, watchers, editors, watch, edit, and unedit. Debug tracing now shows the invocation of CVS. A script called "mcvs-upgrade'' has been added which provides an easy way for Meta-CVS to compile and upgrade itself from sources, even if it was installed from a binary distribution.
