It uses a heuristic algorithm which seeks local as opposed to global alignments, and is therefore able to detect relationships among sequences which share only isolated regions of similarity. It can be run locally as a full executable, and can be used to run BLAST searches against private, local databases, or downloaded copies of the NCBI databases. It runs on Mac OS, Win32, LINUX, Solaris, IBM AIX, SGI, Compaq OSF, and HP- UX systems. Changes: Assorted minor bugfixes and code cleanups.

Currently, it's specific to Linux command line programs, but the code is designed to be used with any project type (remote process, fake HTTP server, fuzz network socket, etc.). It is based on a multi-agent system instead of a monolithic architecture. Changes: An "aggressivity" factor was created, which was used for mangle autoconfiguration: the score of the previous session is used to update the aggressivity factor, and this factor is used to compute the operation types and the number of operations. Fusil is now portable: it works at least on Linux, NetBSD, and Mac OS X. New command line options include --max-success (default: 5), --quiet, --fast, --slow, --keep-all-sessions, and --profiler.

It consists of a pair of programs that replace formatdb and blastall with versions that execute BLAST jobs in parallel on a cluster of computers with MPI installed. There are two primary advantages to using mpiBLAST versus traditional BLAST. First, mpiBLAST splits the database across each node in the cluster. Because each node's segment of the database is smaller it can usually reside in the buffer-cache, yielding a significant speedup due to the elimination of disk I/O. Second, it allows BLAST users to take advantage of efficient, low-cost Beowulf clusters because interprocessor communication demands are low. mpiBLAST achieves super-linear speedup in situations where the database is too large to fit into RAM, and near linear speedup in other situations. It does not require a dedicated cluster. Changes: Assorted enhancements and bugfixes. Updated dependencies on the NCBI toolkit.

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: The main new feature is GSS-API support. This enables secured syslog/tcp connections in a Kerberos 5 environment. This release also contains a stability fix as well as a number of code cleanups. Users who do not experience any problems and do not need the GSS-API support do not necessarily need to update to this release.

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 blog view, adds blog navigation to the user panel, and modifies the blog template to allow bloggers to remove site specific markup. There has been a modification to the blog_config table in MySQL. If you are already running Sylbi and want to add this release without losing any data, see "upgrade.sql".

The policy is generated interactively. Operations not covered by the policy raise an alarm, allowing the user to refine the currently configured policy. After a policy has been sufficiently constructed, further alarms often indicate security problems. Policies can also be generated automatically for sandboxing purposes. Changes: This release addresses a number of correctness and reliability problems with the ptrace backend. Fixes were made for a potential escape of socket aliases and a double free and a problem with fork and ptrace (CVE-2007-4773).

It features simple image loading (with all game graphics being customizable by simply editing them with a graphics editor like The GIMP), sound effects, stadium audience sounds, and ball shadows. Changes: Improvements were made in the Win32 build, including a startup dialog box from which fullscreen mode can be toggled. Optional joystick support was added, which has to be enabled on the command line. Keyboard controls were added. There is background music in main menu.

Changes: With the total UI/Presentation layer rewrite in 0.990, some bugs slipped into that release. All known bugs have been fixed. All the bugs were minimal, but some more annoying than others. Non-bug-related updates include updated fetch site classes, 1-click cover download, a cache manager for SOAP-based setups, and more.

XINS is specification-oriented. When API specifications are written (in XML), XINS will transform them to HTML-based documentation and Java code for both the client-side and the server-side. The communication is based on HTTP. XINS competes with the complex SOAP technology. Main design goals include simplicity, scalability, and testability. XINS is not only a specification technology, but also an application development framework. It offers transaction logging, unique log documentation, and active code generation. Changes: This version adds the ability to not deploy a dependency in the WAR file. It is also possible to specify an extra XML element in the generated web.xml. The front-end calling convention is executed with one request per thread at a time. The mapping of the SOAP-MAP calling convention has been improved. The percentage of memory used is shown in the statistics. This release contains some bugfixes and small improvements.
