can be versioned, but also relations, making it possible to view parts of
the database as they were at a given revision. Moreover, Envers provides a
straightforward interface for retrieving historical data, a criteria-like
query interface, and the possibility to store additional information
alongside each revision.

by Laurent Cohen (http://freshmeat.net/users/lolocohen/)
Tue, Jun 17th 2008 13:29
Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: JPPF is a computational grid framework for Java focused on
performance and ease of use. It provides a set of tools and APIs to enable
the parallelization of CPU intensive applications, and distribute their
execution over a network of heterogenous nodes. It features platform
independence thanks to Java 1.5, does not require you to deploy your
application classes to a server, scales up to millions of nodes, has a
built-in fail-over mechanism on all the framework's components, and has a
monitoring and administration GUI tool to enable remote monitoring of the
server health and server shutdown/restart operations.
Changes: A critical bug that caused the server to freeze unexpectedly was
resolved. A packaging issue was fixed for the Tomcat port. The
administration and monitoring console now comes as a separate standalone
package. The server now stores on file any data too large to fit in memory.
A new abstraction model for IO operations brings a smaller footprint and a
performance gain up to 15%. JPPF library files now include version and
build information.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: Drupal is a Web content management (WCM) system. It provides a
simple, intuitive interface that allows an individual or a community of
users to easily publish, manage, and organize a wide variety of content on
a Web site without programming skills. Drupal is an extremely powerful
system that rewards the users who climb the fairly steep learning curve.
The JumpBox for Drupal lowers the learning curve a little by giving you a
Drupal installation that’s ready to run in just minutes, allowing you to
focus on using Drupal rather than getting it installed. This JumpBox is for
the Drupal 6.x series of releases. A separate JumpBox is also available for
Drupal 5.x.

experience by providing error messages on-screen and a quick way to
continue, restart, or exit. Improvements were made in system related areas,
such as changing of the display resolution in-game.

[031] - mescaline 0.5
by Magnus Kulke (http://freshmeat.net/users/mkulke/)
Tue, Jun 17th 2008 13:26
Database :: Front-Ends
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: Mescaline is a PHP Web application and framework that makes data
stored in databases available to users. The interfaces for viewing and
editing the data are created without requiring any coding or config file
editing using a wizard. It works with unconventional databases and can be
easily extended and reused, since it is written in object-oriented PHP.
Changes: The code was cleaned up and a more consistent MVC pattern was
implemented. Improvements include the possibility to hide fields and better
handling of errors and strings. Several issues are fixed, including a
problem when values were automatically put into empty fields and the
incorrect display of big tables. Tables now remain sorted and at the
correct location after editing.

Software Development :: Libraries
About: odbcpp is an ODBC C++ library wrapper. The ODBC library itself is a
low level C library that has many functions, all of which could return
errors. This wrapper checks for errors on every single call to the ODBC
interface, so if an SQL statement, a connection, or anything else fails, an
exception is generated.

[043] - Ruby/AWS 0.3.2

Tue, Jun 17th 2008 08:49
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
Software Development :: Libraries :: Ruby Modules
About: Ruby/AWS is a high-level Ruby language interface to the Amazon
Associates Web Service API v4. It aims to automate and remove the grunt
work of interacting with the Amazon API and, in so doing, make it much
easier to use. Ruby/AWS is the successor to Ruby/Amazon.
Changes: Serialisation, e.g. with Marshal and YAML, has been a problem
until now. This is because subclasses of Amazon::AWS::AWSObject are created
as needed when XML responses from AWS are parsed. Whilst there is no
problem dumping objects instantiated from such classes, the difficulty
arises when later loading and attempting to reinstantiate them in a new
process, because the dynamic classes that spawned them no longer exist. The
solution to the problem comes in the form of the new methods
Amazon::AWS::AWSObject.load and Amazon::AWS::AWSObject.yaml_load.

[045] - The SirBot Project 0.2.2
by SirLoon (Sébastien Lelong) (http://freshmeat.net/users/SirLoon/)
Tue, Jun 17th 2008 08:42
Scientific/Engineering
Software Development
About: The SirBot Project provides an easy way to build, program, control,
and monitor amateur robots. Programming a bot is done writing a Python
class. A declaration protocol syntax is used to define what can be done
(primitive/complex actions). Using a Python CLI, the robot can be
interactively controlled and dynamically programmed. While the bot is
performing several actions, every piece of information is able to produce
events, thanks to the event declaration syntax. Events can also be created
from other events (cascading events), conditionnaly triggered under
specific conditions (pre-condition), and activate user-defined actions
(post-conditions) according to a particular event state. The library
provides detailed instructions to build electronic boards (PIC-based) and
connect them to build a robot.
Changes: The mainboard now has an integrated i2c bus. A new DC motor
controller board can drive h-bridges, be accessed through serial or i2c,
and control (PWM) and monitor (back-EMF analysis) the motor's speed. Board
documentation now includes Eagle diagrams. SirBot's Jal libraries API has
been simplified.

Tue, Jun 17th 2008 17:38
Database :: Front-Ends
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: The ThinkUI SQL Client is a graphical program that allows Java
developers to browse a database structure, edit data in the tables, issue
SQL queries, and generate code (e.g. Java Bean, DAO, SQL queries, JSP
files, etc.) based on customizable Velocity templates.
Changes: This is mainly a bugfix release with a few minor enhancements.
Bugfixes includes a NullPointerException for JDBC drivers that do not
support SCHEMA (e.g. the MySQL), a "Zoom" feature for relationship with
multi-column FK, and support for pseudo column values specified as column
default (e.g. "now()"). New features include support for the "count row"
command for tables/views, support for initializing new data objects with
database column defaults, and enhanced ViewDataObjectEditorCommand to set
default values and to show hints for overridden column names.

[048] - TreeLine 1.2.0 (Stable)
by Doug Bell (http://freshmeat.net/users/Doug101/)
Tue, Jun 17th 2008 13:29
Other/Nonlisted Topic
About: TreeLine is used to organize and store text data in a tree
structure. It is well suited to keeping track of many different types of
information. Each node of the tree can contain several defined fields,
forming a mini-database. The format of each node can be defined, and the
output can be shown on the screen, printed, or exported to HTML. The tree
structure is navigated and edited in the left pane of the window, while
various views of the child data are shown and editable in the right pane.
The data is stored in XML text files. TreeLine is based on the PyQt
library.
Changes: This stable release has been ported to the Qt4 library. Other
major changes include several display improvements, preformatted templates
for new files, more usable dialogs, improved node filtering, ODF file
translations, and more customization options.

preserving C/C++ runtime characteristics. Its integrated development
environment, TheIDE, introduces modular conception to C++ programming, and
can be used to develop non-U++ applications.
