[001] - atool 0.35.0
by Oskar Liljeblad (http://freshmeat.net/users/osk/)
Sun, Jun 8th 2008 21:50
System :: Archiving
About: atool is a script for managing file archives of various types (tar,
tar+gzip, zip etc). The main command is aunpack, which extracts files from
an archive. It overcomes the problem of extracting files from an archive
without checking whether the files were located in a subdirectory or in the
top directory of the archive, resulting in files scattered all over the
place by first extracting to a new directory. If there was only a single
file in the archive, that file is moved to the original directory. It also
prevents local files from being overwritten by mistake. The other commands
are apack for creating archives, als for listing files in archives, and
acat for extracting files to standard out.

[002] - Avian 0.1
by Joel Dice (http://freshmeat.net/users/dicej/)
Sun, Jun 8th 2008 22:36
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Avian is a lightweight virtual machine and class library, both
written from scratch to provide a useful subset of Java's features. It's
well-suited to cross-platform applications which need a typesafe language
but must remain small and self-contained.
Changes: The highlight of this release is a new JIT compiler designed to
make more efficient use of machine registers. The generated code is 50-100%
faster for CPU-intensive tasks such as image decoding, and 25-30% smaller
on average. Other new features include support for Thread.getStackTrace
(useful for sample-based profiling) and support for building Avian as a
shared library on all platforms.

Sun, Jun 8th 2008 22:37
About: Dabo is a three-tier, cross-platform database application
development framework, written in Python with the wxPython GUI toolkit. The
controls in Dabo's UI are easily bound to data by setting two properties.
The business object is designed to afford you complete control over the
validation and handling of your data. The cursor classes are abstracted
from their backend implementations, allowing for easy support of nearly any
backend database. Dabo's design and approach has been inspired by RAD
database development tools such as Visual FoxPro, Delphi, and Visual Basic.
Changes: Many small bugfixes and enhancements. This will be the last
release of the 0.8.x branch; future work on 0.9 and later will have
different version requirements for Python and wxPython.

Changes: This release changes the aliases implementation, as well as the
file names and format of aliases. A regression of the In-Reply-To header
field editing on the "Message Header Edit Screen" is fixed. Header field
conversion on b)ounce now also applies to some MIME header fields. Bold and
underlined text are used in the display (in addition to inverse text). Some
other changes and bugfixes are included.

[022] - OGMRip 0.12.0
by billl (http://freshmeat.net/users/bi3l/)
Sun, Jun 8th 2008 16:37
Multimedia :: Video :: Conversion
About: OGMRip is an application and a set of libraries for ripping and
encoding DVDs into AVI/OGM files using a wide variety of codecs. It relies
on mplayer, mencoder, ogmtools, oggenc, and lame to perform its tasks. The
GUI features a clean HIG-compliant GNOME 2 interface and tries to minimize
(as much as possible) esoteric settings.
Changes: This version has been largely directed towards simplifying the
graphical user interface, resulting primarily from the emergence of
encoding profiles. Configurability has been improved with the addition of
per-codec and per-container options through plugins. Another major change
concerns the management of external software that becomes fully dynamic.
This release has better subtitles management, more comprehensive MP4
container support (which can now produce videos for the iPod or PSP), the
ability to choose the angle of the video, and more.

[023] - pdfposter 0.4.2
by Hartmut Goebel (http://freshmeat.net/users/htgoebel/)
Sun, Jun 8th 2008 22:39
Printing
Utilities
About: pdfposter can be used to create a large poster by building it from
multple pages and/or printing it on large media. It expects as input a PDF
file, normally printing on a single page. The output is again a PDF file,
maybe containing multiple pages together, thus building the poster. The
input page will be scaled to obtain the desired size. This is much like
poster does for Postscript files, but works with PDF instead, since
sometimes poster does not like your files converted from PDF. Indeed,
pdfposter was inspired by poster.
Changes: In some cases (depending on the input PDF), a TypeError occurred
when calculating dimensions. This has been fixed.

About: ppc is an E-MU P***t Phatt/Orbit/Carnaval remote and SysEx-editor
written in C/GTK+-2. You can control almost all global and all preset
parameters and create new presets.
Changes: The audit button now lets you listen to the preset you are about
to overwrite. In the instrument section, you will find some generalized
volume envelope presets. This allows you to quickly try different volume
envelopes for each instrument. A new "MIDI Program->Preset map" window and
"MIDI channel setup" window have been added. New export/import presets were
added. Importing does not just send the preset data (which would put the
preset into the RAM slot specified in the SysEx file); instead, you select
the RAM slot.

Sun, Jun 8th 2008 07:49
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Text Processing :: Markup
About: Restless is yet-another lightweight markup processor; it generates
HTML from plain text with non-intrusive markup of headings, bullet lists,
and so on. But unlike other such tools, restless aims to do less: it does
not use cryptic punctuation to control advanced formatting, and instead
uses heuristics to classify, for example, code samples versus text. It can
be used from the command line or on-demand as an Apache filter.
Changes: This first version includes enough functionality to format its
own Web page.

Sun, Jun 8th 2008 22:40
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and
operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.
Changes: The chapter about symbol scanning from a file in the manual was
improved. A new include file (cgi.s7i) to support the Common Gateway
Interface was added. A bug in the getLine function of the scanfile.s7i
library was fixed. The function fileExists was added to the seed7_05.s7i
library. The handling of closures in the compiler (comp.sd7) was improved.
A new example program (lander.sd7), which simulates a lunar landing, was
added.

active.
Changes: The .SYX_ROOT_PATH and SYX_PLUGIN_PATH environment variables have
been introduced. Image recovering has been fixed. Several standard methods
for Collections, Numbers, and Object printing/storing were covered.
#display family methods have been introduced for Smalltalk objects. System
signal handling has been improved. The interpreter has been refactored to
use one stack per Process. Symbols creation was optimized. The parser and
lexer have been fixed. Blocks' scopes have been fixed. <- assignment is
supported. Scheduler external idle sources have been added. Asyncronous
console and GTK+ loop were added using semaphores.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Multimedia :: Video
About: youtube-dl is a small command-line program for downloading videos
from YouTube.com.
Changes: This release fixes a minor bug. When the program was instructed
to download several videos and not use any title information in the output
filename, it would output all the videos to the same file, with each new
video overwriting the contents of the previous one.
