[001] - 4tH compiler 3.5c 
  by J.L. Bezemer (http://freshmeat.net/users/hansoft/)
  Sun, Dec 23rd 2007 11:03

Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Libraries

About: 4tH is a Forth compiler with a little difference. Instead of the
standard Forth engine it features a conventional compiler. 4tH is a very
small compiler that can create bytecode, C-embeddable bytecode, standalone
executables, but also works fine as a scripting language. It supports about
95% of the ANS Forth CORE wordset and features conditional compilation,
pipes, files, assertions, forward declarations, enumerations, structures,
suspended execution, recursion, include files, etc. It comes with an RPN
calculator, line editor, compiler, decompiler, C-source generator, a
virtual machine, and a multitasking environment.

Changes: The words C and OFFSET have been added. The multitasking
environment has been fully integrated in the source tree.

Communications
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Software Development

About: Arachnida is an embeddable Web server. It uses the OpenSSL library
and consists of a small framework for networking that allows you to
asynchronously accept and handle connections using a "new connection
handler" to handle new connections and a "data handler" to handle incoming
data. This makes it possible to add support for any TCP/IP based protocol
by just adding a handler. A test suite is included.

About: CacheGuard is a Linux-based OS/appliance dedicated to Web traffic
security and optimization. It transforms an x86-based machine into a
powerful Web gateway appliance. It allows you to control Web traffic for
Web surfers and Web servers by acting as a forwarding and reverse HTTP /
HTTPS proxy. It supports HTTP transparent implementation, HTTP
compression, Web caching, URL black- and whitelist guarding, and Web
server load balancing. It features a stateful firewall with NAT and PAT,
and a content filtering module blocking malicious HTTP requests like XSS,
SQL and Command Injection. It integrates a caching DNS, a DHCP server, a
bandwidth shaper to manage the QoS, a load sharing system, and an HA (high
availability) mode with VRRP and link bonding.

[008] - DUMA 2.5.9 
  by Hayati Ayguen (http://freshmeat.net/users/hayguen/)
  Sun, Dec 23rd 2007 17:21

Software Development :: Debuggers
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Testing

About: DUMA (Detect Unintended Memory Access) stops your program on the
exact instruction that overruns (or underruns) a malloc() memory buffer.
GDB will then display the source-code line that causes the bug. It works
by using the virtual-memory hardware to create a red-zone at the border of
each buffer: touch that, and your program stops. It can catch formerly
impossible-to-catch overrun bugs. DUMA is a fork of Bruce Perens' Electric
Fence library. 

Changes: [_duma_]strncpy() doesn't call strlen() any more. A patch for
using the shared library under Solaris has been applied. There are other
minor fixes.

but should be robust enough to be used in a larger capacity by an ISP or
other big host. For those who may not know, PowerDNS is a domain name
server application, much like BIND, but offering alternative backends for
the storage of domain information. 

Changes: A security flaw has been fixed where users were capable of
creating new domains without the permission setting. Users were unable to
reset their passwords due to bad variable names in the login code. Domain
owners should not be allowed to change the domain type without
administrative access. Domain type and owner dialogue should not appear in
the interface if the user is not allowed to use them. An upgrade script was
added to handle template and query changes in the future when updating.

  Sun, Dec 23rd 2007 16:17

Security
System :: Systems Administration

About: ProShield is a system administration/security program for
Ubuntu/Debian GNU/Linux. It helps insure that your system is secure and
up-to-date by checking many different aspects of your system. Whether you
are a Linux novice or a system administrator with a dozen servers,
ProShield is designed to be usable by all. Its main goal is to help secure
a newly installed computer, as well as maintain the security of an existing
machine. It's part security and part security administration.

Changes: This release has many improvements including failsafe upgrades,
bitrot fixing, repeated testing against Ubuntu Linux and Debian Linux, the
ability to permanently dismiss the "source packages" question, upgrades to
the primary upgrade method (resolves dependencies), and the addition of
dependencies that should have been in the control file, improvements to
the way reloading the SSH daemon was handled (you won't get disconnected
now when you change SSHD's config), and elimination of some hang bugs
(bitrot).

[031] - rsyslog 1.21.1 (Development)
  by Rainer Gerhards (http://freshmeat.net/users/rgerhards/)
  Sun, Dec 23rd 2007 10:52

System :: Logging

About: Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. 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: This is a maintenance and stability release to 1.21.0. Most
importantly, it fixes a memory leak introduced in 1.21.0. There are also
some other bugfixes present. Users of 1.21.0 should upgrade.

[034] - The Launcher 2.2 
  by Alte (http://freshmeat.net/users/alte/)
  Sun, Dec 23rd 2007 07:05

Desktop Environment :: Tools

About: The Launcher is an innovative application launcher that
automatically adapts to the user's habits. This means tracking your
favorite applications and not forcing you to mark or organize them by
hand. The Launcher automatically responds to changes in the user's
preferences. The Launcher provides a simple, clean, and usable interface
and requires zero configuration effort from the user. The Launcher should
be especially handy on touchscreens and with keyboards. 

Changes: The interface and key bindings were revamped, allowing you to
switch views with one click or key press. Views are now switched with
F1-F3. The default window, column, and icon sizes were improved. Support
was added for GTK icon themes, which have preference over
application-supplied icons. Running applications are denoted with a small
emblem in the bottom-right of their icon. Support was added for local
icons placed in ~/.thelaucher/icons. The --debug switch can be used to
find the requested icon name. ~/.thelaucher/gtk-ui was renamed to
~/.thelaucher/config, and ~/.thelaucher/local was renamed to
~/.thelaucher/apps.

[039] - Valgrind 3.3.0 
  by sigra (http://freshmeat.net/users/sigra/)
  Sun, Dec 23rd 2007 16:15

Software Development :: Testing

About: Valgrind is a tool that helps you find memory management problems
in programs. When a program is run under Valgrind's supervision, all reads
and writes of memory are checked, and calls to malloc/new/free/delete are
intercepted. As a result, Valgrind can detect problems such as use of
uninitialized memory, reading/writing of memory after it has been freed,
reading/writing off the end of malloced blocks, reading/writing
inappropriate areas on the stack, memory leaks in which pointers to
malloced blocks are lost forever, passing of uninitialized and/or
unaddressable memory to system calls, and mismatched use of malloc/new/new
[] vs. free/delete/delete []. 

Changes: Helgrind works again with improved race detection and better
error messages. Massif generates better output. Cachegrind has been
extended to do branch-misprediction profiling. Both conditional and
indirect branches are profiled. Scalability has been improved for very
large programs, particularly those with a million or more malloc'd blocks
in use at once. These improvements mostly affect Memcheck, which is also
up to 10% faster for all programs, with x86 Linux seeing the largest
improvement. The documentation has been reorganized. Experimental tools
have been added. There are many other changes.

Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content

About: The Vexi Platform is used for creating and deploying rich user
interfaces for Internet/intranet applications that look and feel like
native applications. Vexi uses a combination of a subset of XML and
Javascript to provide a simple API for the development of interactive
visual components. Vexi provides an intuitive, themable widget set,
created using this API. Vexi interfaces then communicate with server
applications through XML-RPC or SOAP. 

Changes: Vexi now supports the JSON-enabling JS functions eval() and
stringify(). There are numermous bugfixes to the core and small updates to
the widgets. Vexi now runs on Mac OS X again.
