easy as HTML.
Changes: The "pdf:show" action was fixed. The barcode default sizing may
be slightly different, due to corrections in the underlying PDF library.
The ability to license the Report Generator with a license file, rather
than a keycode, was added.

[019] - Lapsus 0.0.6
by Jakub Schmidtke (http://freshmeat.net/users/tanisek/)
Fri, Apr 25th 2008 01:04
Desktop Environment :: K Desktop Environment (KDE)
System :: Hardware
About: Lapsus was created to provide easy access to additional features of
various laptops. Currently there exists support for Asus and IBM laptops,
but IBM support is still highly experimental. It is possible to control a
laptop's LED status, wireless, touchpad, and Bluetooth devices, brightness
of the LCD, and sound volume. These features must be supported by either
the asus-laptop kernel module from the acpi4asus project or the ibm-acpi
driver.
Changes: Recognition of LED names used by the new version of the
asus-laptop module was corrected. Support was added for the volume and
mute switches in IBM laptops, and NVRAM updates were fixed. Alsa mixer now
always has a 0-100 volume range, and it modifies the headphone channel
together with the best channel found. An issue that prevented lapsus from
building with the new gcc version was corrected.

Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Libraries
About: LuaRocks is a deployment and management system for modules in the
Lua programming language. It aims to provide facilities for Lua such as
those from module systems of other scripting languages, such as Ruby's
RubyGems or Perl's CPAN. LuaRocks allows Lua modules to be installed as
self-contained packages called "rocks", which also contain version and
dependency information. This information is used at install time so that
when one rock is requested, all rocks it depends on are also installed.
It's also used at run time so that when a module is required, the correct
version is loaded.
Changes: This release allows applications to inspect which packages they
are fetching modules from. New variables are available for rock authors.
There are improvements to the build system and assorted bugfixes.

contents, phpLogCon can process syslog messages, Windows event log entries
and some more exotic things. It works together with rsyslogd, an enhanced
syslog deamon but can also team up with any other application capable of
writing to a database.
Changes: A detail page has been added to phpLogCon that shows all possible
details of a syslog message. It is possible to page in the detail view.
Minor notices bugs in functions_db.php, which will become important once
the UI is added, have been fixed. A "NEXT" button bug in the install
script has been fixed; only on next button is available in the install
script. A full German translation has been added.
