[001] - AgileWiki 3.3.1.1
by Bill la Forge (http://freshmeat.net/users/laforge49/)
Sun, Aug 27th 2006 03:48

Database
Documentation
Information Management

About: AgileWiki is a Java-based wiki that provides a virtual wiki for
each registered user, complete with access control and versioning. The
backend includes a built-in database (which uses flat files) and
communicates via RMI to either a Servlet (packaged as a WAR file) or to a
Swing client. AgileWiki is also both an application platform and a
knowledge management system.

Changes: This release contains some critical changes. The restrict and
private commands now require admin privilege, typically the owner of the
cabinet. Also, the view command now journals in the session, not in the
current context. The home page of agilewiki.org now includes a guide for
using the view command.

[003] - Apache Ant 1.7.0Beta1 (Development)
by Antoine Levy-Lambert (http://freshmeat.net/users/AntoineLL/)
Sun, Aug 27th 2006 22:38

Software Development :: Build Tools

About: Ant is a Java based build tool, similar to make, but with better
support for the cross platform issues involved with developing Java
applications. Ant is the build tool of choice for all Java projects at
Apache and many other Open Source Java projects.

Changes: A resource framework was introduced. Some of the core ant tasks
such as <copy/> are now able to process not only file system resources but
also zip entries, tar entries, paths, etc. Resource collections group
resources, and can be further combined with operators such as union and
intersection. Optional tasks have begun to be outsourced to Antlibs. The
NET antlib in preparation will replace the .NET optional tasks which ship
in Ant.

[011] - bzr 0.10rc1
by Robert Collins (http://freshmeat.net/users/robertc/)
Sun, Aug 27th 2006 19:15

Software Development :: Version Control

About: Bzr is a simple decentralized revision control system.
Decentralized revision control systems give users the ability to branch
remote repositories to a local context. Users can commit to local branches
without requiring special permission from the branches that they branched
from.

Changes: 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes
from a tree. Moderate performance improvements, particularly on large
trees. Compatability with diffutils 2.8.4. 'bzr uncommit' preserves
pending merges. Active FTP support has been fixed. TZ=UTC is handled
properly when reading/writing revisions. GPG_TTY is used to allow gpg --cl
to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline (passing text to sign in on stdin).
External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign languages.

[020] - Dual DHCP DNS Server 3.0
by Achal Dhir (http://freshmeat.net/users/achaldhir/)
Sun, Aug 27th 2006 19:08

Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
System :: Networking

About: Dual DHCP DNS Server is a combined DHCP/DNS server for small LANs.
Dynamic DHCP allocates/renews host addresses, while the caching DNS server
first tries resolving from DHCP-allotted names, then from cache, and only
then forwarding to external DNS servers. It has built in dynamic updates,
and also supports BOOTP PXE network booting and client specific options.
It is self-configuring, doesn't require the creation of zone files, and
uses little memory and CPU.

Changes: DNS caching ability has increased from 255 to unlimited. Static
hosts have no limits now; they can be from any domain and can be any
number. Aliases also have no limits. Zone-based DNS query routing
[DNS-ROUTING] has been introduced.

[066] - Raptor RDF Parser Toolkit 1.4.11
by Dave Beckett (http://freshmeat.net/users/dajobe/)
Sun, Aug 27th 2006 04:01

Software Development :: Libraries
Text Processing :: Markup
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML

About: Raptor is a C library providing a set of parsers and serializers
for Resource Description Framework (RDF) triples by parsing syntaxes into
RDF triples and serializing triples into a syntax. The parsers support
RDF/XML, N-Triples, and Turtle and via RSS tag soup: XML RSS, Atom 0.3,
and Atom 1.0. The serializers support RDF/XML (3 flavours), N-Triples, RSS
1.0, and Atom 1.0. Raptor handles RDF/XML as used by RDF applications such
as RSS 1.0, FOAF, DOAP, Dublin Core, and OWL. It can use either expat or
libxml2 for XML parsing, libcurl when available for URI retrieval, and is
portable to many POSIX systems.

Changes: Network request URI filtering was added for parsers. Several
improvements were made to the GRDDL and Guess parsers. The RSS 1.0
serializer was fixed to work again. Many other fixes and minor
improvements were made.

[067] - RSSOwl 1.2.2
by bpasero (http://freshmeat.net/users/bpasero/)
Sun, Aug 27th 2006 12:12

Communications
Information Management
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: News/Diary

About: RSSOwl is a wise SWT-based news aggregator. Its search feature lets
you hunt down the best RSS/RDF/Atom feeds on the Web, and then organize and
share your feeds with agility. Other features include an integrated
browser; AmphetaRate, for acquiring news tailored to your tastes;
full-text searching through headlines and descriptions; export feed
summaries to PDF, RTF, and HTML; the ability to import or export OPML; the
ability to exchange collections with others by importing or exporting
subscriptions; the ability to import or export user data to and from other
machines; automatic newsfeed upating; and much more.

Changes: The integrated feed validator was removed due to lack of support
for RDF and Atom formats. The new validator allows you to enter the URL
of the newsfeed, and will forward to the well-known W3C feed validator
that supports all major formats and namespaces. On Windows, the security
of the embedded browser was improved by making use of the Local Machine
Zone Lockdown, which forces local content to operate in the more secure
Internet Zone. Settings are now backed up and restored in case a previous
shutdown failed to store them correctly. This should fix issues where all
settings were lost.

About: rsstool is a tool to read, parse, merge, and write RSS (and Atom)
feeds. It has some other functions built-in like text, HTML, or property
file output, or templates with custom tags to insert RSS feeds into pages
that could be uploaded to a server that supports only static HTML.

Changes: Minor bugs were fixed. RSS feeds may now be output as ANSI SQL
data, as bookmarks.html files, as comma-separated values (CSV), or as RSS
feeds (for merging). The -s option was added to strip HTML code from RSS
(or Atom) feeds. The --href=FILE|URL option was added to get all links
from an HTML document. The --template=FILE option was changed into
--template=FILE|URL.

Information Management
Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
Text Processing :: Linguistic

About: SenseClusters is a natural language processing package that allows
you to cluster similar contexts or to identify clusters of related words.
It supports its own native methods based on first and second order
representations of context, and also supports Latent Semantic Analysis. It
is fully unsupervised, and can automatically discover the optimal number of
clusters in your text. SenseClusters is a complete system that takes users
from preprocessing of raw text to providing clustered output.

Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
System :: Filesystems

About: SSH Filesystem uses the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), which is
supported by most SSH servers. It is based on Filesystem in Userspace
(FUSE), and hence root privilege is not required for mounting a remote
filesystem. No setup is necessary and it is very easy to use.

Changes: This release contains a workaround for problematic servers that
print a banner at login. Other small improvements are an option for
resolving symlinks on the server and checking the remote path before
proceeding with the mount.

Sun, Aug 27th 2006 22:38

Text Processing
Text Processing :: Linguistic
Text Processing :: Markup

About: Xlit converts text from one writing system into another. It allows
the user to define a transliteration simply by typing the input strings in
one window and the strings to which they are to be mapped in another.
Transliteration may be restricted to regions bounded by specified
delimiters or their complements. Transliteration may also be performed by
external commands or plugins. Xlit can also convert one type of delimiter
to another, e.g. from HZ escapes to XML. Xlit can read and write
transliteration definitions in its own format and as Yudit keymaps. It can
be run in batch mode without the GUI.

Changes: Plugins are now permitted to write to stderr so as to emit error
messages. A bug was fixed in which xlit attempted to popup an error alert
when running in batch mode without the GUI. The number of parse errors
encountered is now reported.

by Myron Turner (http://freshmeat.net/users/turnermm03/)
Sun, Aug 27th 2006 12:01

Text Processing :: Markup
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML

About: XML_PullParser moves the API of the PHP XML facility from an
event-based model to a token-based model. Instead of processing data as it
is passed from the parser to callbacks, a script using PullParser requests
"tokens" from XML_PullParser_getToken() and a number of helper functions.
Tokens are arrays representing XML structures, which become available in
the order in which they appear in the document being parsed. Methods are
provided both to get tokens and to extract their data.

Changes: This release adds the package level function
XML_PullParser_reInitTagArrays(), which resets several globals to their
initial values. This is an important enhancement for users who run more
than one instance of XML_PullParser during the course of a single script
in loops, etc. It also includes some documentation enhancements.

Terminals :: Terminal Emulators/X Terminals

About: The xterm program is the standard terminal emulator for the X
Window System. It provides DEC VT102/VT220 and Tektronix 4014 compatible
terminals for programs that can't use the window system directly. If the
underlying operating system supports terminal resizing capabilities (for
example, the SIGWINCH signal in systems derived from 4.3bsd), xterm will
use the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is
resized.

Changes: This release improves error checking for title strings, allowing
strings with illegal characters to display after translating them to "?".

[088] - Zmanim 1.1.1
by Ken Bloom (http://freshmeat.net/users/ken195/)
Sun, Aug 27th 2006 04:00

Religion

About: Zmanim is a software package that computes zmanim, the times
(according to Jewish law) by which an observant Jew must complete specific
prayers. The default branch is a console version for Linux, and the QT
branch is a GUI version for Linux using the QT GUI libraries.

Changes: The sunrise and sunset were normalized correctly so that 24 hours
don't get added to the results, while still being in GMT with the
appropriate day in it. This fixes issues with DST starting a day earlier
in March than it should under Bush's energy bill. putenv() is used instead
of setenv() to let this compile on Solaris (and probably other Unix systems
as well). The use of the Hebrew word "Netz" was corrected to "HaNetz".
