It talks to an MTA via (E)SMTP or LMTP, or by using helper programs. No timing gaps exist in the design, which could cause a mail loss. It is normally positioned at or near a central mailer, not necessarily where the user's mailboxes and final delivery takes place. Changes: Parsing of an SMTP status response from MTA was fixed when releasing from a quarantine for compatibility with old versions of MTA, which did not provide an enhanced status code. Rewritten parsing of Received header fields and hardened parsing of From, To, and Cc header fields, to avoid complex Perl regular expressions that could crash a process on certain degenerate cases of these header fields. Eight-bit characters in In-Reply-To and References header fields are now sanitized before using them in Pen Pals SQL lookups. The documentation section on DKIM was updated in amavisd-new-docs.html.

It includes a transaction mechanism, which guarantees the integrity of your backups. Two user interfaces are available: a command-line interface (useful for backup automation) and a graphical user interface (useful for backup administration). Changes: This version includes a new target option ('process subdirectories') and differential / full backup support. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) URL: http://freshmeat.net/projects/areca/ - % - % - % - % - [007] - AROUNDMe collaboration server 1.5.1 by tom calthrop (http://freshmeat.net/users/barnraiser/) Wed, Dec 12th 2007 07:12 About: AROUNDMe collaboration server is a solution for anyone wishing to create a collaborative social space on the Web. AROUNDMe collaboration server gives you a fun and easy way to create a multiple Web page collaborative space in which you can add videos, pictures, and social collaboration tools such as forums, a wiki, blogs, or guestbooks. Using AROUNDMe collaboration server, you can build up a network of like minded people around your interest group or activity. Changes: The OpenID URI is recorded now (and not the delegate). The nickname is checked, and if it is empty, the user is prompted. The PHP installer checks for the Math library. The lock screen now checks for name and email for applications. The error with the language for sending mail was fixed. Thumbnails for PDFs were added in the files section. A JavaScript length checker was added to the guestbook textarea. You can now bar a connection. The forum tagcloud no longer lists delisted discussions. Editing a wiki page with a code tag no longer removes the top line break.

It has a unique philosophy of simpleness and ease of use: it does not require config files, annotations, code generation, code "enhancing", or any kind of tools to be used. It handles simple Java beans (or POJOs) and its query service returns lists. Despite its simpleness, under the hood the library takes care of all the necessary logic: transaction visibility, result list paging, keys and ids, table creation/modification, class relations, inheritance/polymorphism, case sensitiveness, and much more. It currently supports: Oracle, HSQLDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Changes: This release contains multiple bugfixes, such as international character handling in queries, MySQL type handling fixes, list indexing fixes, and lock leakage fixes. The save algorithm was corrected to save only changed objects. The getPersistenceId() method was added for getting an id for any object. The "in" operator was added to the query language, so lists of values can now be used as a query parameter.

By using DBIx::Perlish, you can write most of your database queries using a domain-specific language with Perl syntax. However, the module is not intended to replace all use of SQL in your program. The DBIx::Perlish module quite intentionally neither implements nor cares about database administration tasks like schema design and management. Changes: A bug in the special import syntax implementation was fixed. Special import syntax tests were added.

Hartlich (http://freshmeat.net/users/phartlich/) Wed, Dec 12th 2007 06:21 System :: Archiving About: deco is a generic archive file extractor that has a consistent command line interface ("deco 1.tar.bz2 2.zip 3.flac 4.rar 5.deb" will just work) and consistent behavior (it never deletes archives after extraction, extracts relative to the current working directory, and extracts just verbosely enough, all unless explicitly requested otherwise). It provides automatic handling of extractor gotchas by creating an extraction directory if there is more than one file or directory at the archive top level and by being able to fix strange permissions. Dozens of archive file extensions are supported out of the box, and adding support for others requires very little work. License: GNU General Public License v3 URL: http://freshmeat.net/projects/decoex/ - % - % - % - % - [022] - DiscSpan 0.1.1 by J.M. (http://freshmeat.net/users/ceefresh/) Wed, Dec 12th 2007 17:13 System :: Archiving :: Backup About: DiscSpan is a tool that will take that a large directory full of files and automatically burn a series of DVDs to near capacity, without the need or hassle of creating individual ISOs or moving files around. It is geared more towards smaller files such as music and photos, as it cannot span a file across multiple discs. It prompts for the directory you'd like to back up, the device to use to burn, and the speed at which to burn. It analyzes the files and calculates how many DVDs are needed, while making sure no files are greater than the size of a DVD. Changes: Smater DVD drive detection.

Content is distributed using segmented downloading similar to BitTorrent, but provided in-order so it can be displayed on-the-fly as it is being downloaded. Changes: This release adds support for daemonization, allowing the dstream executable to be run in the background automatically. You can now elect to run dstream in the foreground by adding the -f command line option or by setting "daemonize: false" in the configuration file. This release also brings major improvements to the traffic routing algorithm. A new scoring method is used to determine which peer should be used for a given download, incorporating the trust model, bandwidth modeling, and prefix information.

Full or incremental backups can be done, with full or incremental DVD verification. Dkop uses a GUI to navigate through directories to select or de-select files or directories at any level. Backup jobs can be saved for recurring use. New, deleted, and updated files are handled automatically, without re-editing the backup job. An incremental backup updates the same DVD used for a prior full backup. Large backup jobs can be done using multiple DVDs. A GUI restore function is also provided. Differences between disk and DVD can be reported in total, by directory, and by file. Changes: This is a minor revision for the different ways to get text error messages in Linux and BSD. The previous version revised the verify-thorough function so that loading a backup job is not necessary. Verify-thorough now reads and verifies all files on a DVD, and for those with corresponding files on disk (same pathname and mod time), the files are compared bytewise.

It has a simple plugin architecture to allow more features to be added. Changes: This release focuses on getting the EPG download and extraction working. As such, it supports ATSC EPG with event descriptions, and now correctly handles timezones other than GMT. Other things to note are the addition of SAP announcements for multicast UDP/RTP, and the ability to select channels/services using their fully qualified DVB ID.

For example, if the entry "sshd auth required pam_script" was included in pam.conf, and if the pam_script_auth script exits with a non-zero value, this would cause the user to be denied SSH access to the machine.

It can be burnt on a CD and booted, or integrated in a PXE/RIS environment. Several tools that make it the perfect choice for easily backing up and restoring whole partitions are included. It supports backups to and from SMB shares, backup of BIOS data, the ability to blank the local admin's password, creation of bootable restoration DVDs, the ability to partition and format a disk before installing Windows, and more. Changes: Sometimes, mount -t cifs (and possibly also smbfs) only works with the mount -t xxx \\\\yyy\\zzz syntax, rather than //yyy/zzz. This release tries both syntaxes. The function Is_Network_On() has been rewritten to handle cases where dhcpcd mapped eth0 to the fake IP 169.254.xxx.yyy.

The concepts of native XML programming used in RefleX have been designed separately, so that other implementations on other platforms/languages can be considered. As the tags used are considered "active", the underlying concepts have been named "Active Tags". Programming in XML allows developers to efficiently produce batch scripts as well as Web applications. With Active Tags, you can dramatically decrease the number of lines you have to code. Changes: XQuery support through XML:DB, an upgrade of third-party libraries, URI schemes unification, and more test suites with XUnit.

Among other features, it offers support for reliable syslog over TCP and RFC 3195, writing to MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, fully configurable output formats (including great timestamps), the ability to filter on any part of the syslog message, and on-the-wire message compression. It is designed as a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and thus is able to work with the same configuration file syntax. Of course, some enhanced features require changing the configuration file, but in general, this should be fairly easy. Changes: A memory leak in regard to PostgreSQL date formatting and a potential race condition within repeated message processing have been fixed. There are new runtime options to harden ACL processing when DNS is not ready while rsyslogd starts up. There are also some minor changes and code clean-ups. Upgrading is recommended to anyone using previous releases. Users of PostgreSQL are urged to update to this version.

It avoids hardcoding business logic, and workflows can be built from different workflow "patterns" like simple actions, decisions, selections, loops, and custom code. The SWAMP server automatically creates a Web GUI from the workflow definition file that guides users through the business logic process based on their roles. Notification is sent if required. Overview pages over all running workflows and much more are available. Changes: The executor for external programs/scripts can now set a timeout. A task cache was added for active tasks. Tasks have a persistent ID on re-activation. The role implementation was reworked, adding the ability to reference to groups from the database backend. Data type problems were fixed in SOAPSWAMP. An HTML data type with validation through jTidy was added. The graph generation layout was reworked. Ajax is now used on the index page to load individual tasks while the page is already useable. All workflow stacks are loaded via Ajax, which gives a good improvement for deep stacks.

It grew from the idea that a blog with comments and a forum only differ in their perspective of the conversation. Both provide a chronological set of postings, initiated by someone, and, (potentially) replied to by others. The main difference is the perspective they present: a blog presents the perspective of the blog owner(s), while a forum presents the perspective of the forum and a topic defined in the forum. Sylbi allows you to look at conversations either way. Changes: This release adds paging to the topic view of conversations. The admin can set paging for the site in Config.pm with the 'convers_paging' parameter. If no paging is defined, when a user selects a topic, all conversations are returned.
