About: Aejaks is a windowing toolkit for rapid development of AJAX-enabled
Web applications. It combines the powerful simplicity of the Tcl language
with the Java-based Echo2 browser-independent windowing system. Aejaks
applications are written in a single scripting language, without need to
write any HTML, Javascript, or CSS. It borrows from the Tk windowing
system, but is not directly compatible with Tk. It runs on top of any Java
Web server, and can make use of any existing Java library.
Changes: This release has a MrPersister database access library. The H2
Database engine is included for quick-start database application
development. Also included are the Apache Log4J logging system, a
RichTextArea widget, standard library dialogs for messages, input, color
selection, date selection, and file uploads, and a Hyde package for easy
Tcl-to-Java integration. New sample applications: TclTutor, Aejaks Rolodex,
and WarMachine.

Information Management
Multimedia :: Graphics
Office/Business
About: Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript implements the printing of many
barcode formats entirely within level 2 PostScript, so that the process of
converting the input string into the printed output is performed by the

process whenever your language needs change. The project supports most
major barcode formats including EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ISBN, Code 128
(A, B, and C), Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Postnet, Code 2 of 5, and
Codabar.
Changes: Support for hiding the asterisks in the human readable text of
Code 39 symbols was added.

[009] - Big Medium 2.0.8 (Stable)
by Josh Clark (http://freshmeat.net/users/joshclark/)
Mon, Sep 15th 2008 14:54
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: Big Medium is a content management system aimed squarely at Web
designers who want a CMS that enables extremely flexible designs but
remains easy to set up without programming skills. The software does not
impose cookie-cutter layouts: If you bring basic to intermediate HTML/CSS
know-how, Big Medium can manage just about any design you throw at it. Once
the designer configures the templates, he or she can hand the site over to
content editors; no technical know-how is required to add or edit pages.
Big Medium's friendly, humane interface is easy and non-threatening for CMS
newbies.
Changes: The "comment count" link element now properly displays in all
link widgets. A bug that could prevent overflow link pages from being
properly updated was fixed. A bug that caused Internet Explorer to
mishandle email links created in the rich-text editor was fixed. A display
issue that caused document icons in download links to appear in the
incorrect location in Internet Explorer was fixed. A compression problem in
prototype-scriptaculous.js was fixed.

[013] - DarGUI 0.4.1
by Malcolm Poole (http://freshmeat.net/users/pastorescoces/)
Mon, Sep 15th 2008 23:11
System :: Archiving :: Backup
About: DarGUI is a graphical frontend for the Disk ARchiving utility (DAR)
that aims to make it easier and quicker to perform common backup tasks
using DAR. It uses the GTK+ library, which is installed on most Linux
distributions, so usually the only additional dependency is DAR. DarGUI

conceal them, and to help users to learn how DAR works so that they can use
it from the command line when necessary. It is written in Pascal using
FreePascal and the Lazarus IDE.
Changes: This release fixes a bug preventing loading of differential
backups containing REMOVED entries. It fixes a bug where scrollbars were
not initially visible. The menu option Show Selected now works as expected.
Support has been added for Blowfish encryption.

Database
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Filesystems
About: The dsnapshot script provides a high-level interface to the Linux
Logical Volume Manager. It uses its block-level snapshot support to create
directory snapshots. In contrast to block-level snapshots, directory
snapshots resemble the file system layer. Thus, you can snapshot any

[016] - ExactImage 0.6.0
by René Rebe (http://freshmeat.net/users/ReneRebe/)
Mon, Sep 15th 2008 10:52
Multimedia :: Graphics
About: ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike
ImageMagick, it allows operation in several color spaces and bit depths
natively, resulting in much lower memory and computational requirements.
Some optimized algorithms operate in 1/20 of the time ImageMagick requires,
and displaying large images can be as fast as 1/10 of the time the
"display" program takes.
Changes: The PDF codec was completely rewritten to not only allow you to
dump images into PDFs, but write arbitrary vector objects and multiple
pages. A new command line tool was added that allows hOCR annotated HTML to
be converted into perfectly laid out, searchable PDF files. The barcode
recognition was improved regarding CODE25 and CODE28 recognition and
checksum computation. De-skew accuracy was slightly improved and is now
exported through SWIG.

[017] - Florence 0.3.0
by François Agrech (http://freshmeat.net/users/agrech/)
Mon, Sep 15th 2008 20:42
Desktop Environment :: Gnome
About: Florence is a scalable on-screen virtual keyboard for GNOME that
stays out of your way when you don't need it. It is useful if you can't use
a real keyboard either because of a handicap, disease, broken keyboard, or
tablet PC but you can use a pointing device. It aims at being easy and
pretty.
Changes: The most visible change of this version is its speed. It starts
more quickly and is more responsive. Animation is also smoother. The
non-locking modifiers keys don't behave exactly like previous versions of
florence. All modifiers are released when a non-modifier key is pressed.
Under the hood, the drawing system has been redesigned to use less memory
with cairo and librsvg instead of libgnomecanvas and libart. XML schema
validation has been replaced with relax-ng (compact syntax) validation for
the layout file. This is much more readable and maintainable.

by Christopher Bratusek (http://freshmeat.net/users/Flashrider/)
Mon, Sep 15th 2008 10:19
Desktop Environment :: Gnome
About: gnome-run-dialog uses the same history as GNOME's one, but sorts it
alphabetically. It also allows you to run a command as root, or in a
terminal, or both. You can also clear the history or choose a file as an

pass environment variables to your application.
Changes: Accelerators were added. The dialog was made much more compact.
An unused widget was removed. The history alphabetically is sorted before
loading or saving it. The program is only run if the textentry is not
empty. The AUTHORS, README, and INSTALL files were added.

[029] - JCR 0.6.5
by John Dickson (http://freshmeat.net/users/captsens/)
Mon, Sep 15th 2008 12:01
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
About: JCR is a Web application for performing and managing formal code
reviews. Although it has some special logic for reviewing Java projects, it
can be used for reviews of any type of source code. JCR manages all stages
of the review process (initial project setup, individual review, joint
review meeting, post-review tidy-up), but it's mainly there to show diff
views of files that have changed and to allow comments to be made on any
line of any file marked for review.
Changes: This release adds syntax highlighting for most types of files,
and other changes were made to the file view and review pages to make them
more usable, including the addition of caching for speed improvements.
There is also now a way to set the review priority on many files at a time,
which should speed up readying new projects for review. There is now an
option to provide your own review decision types (the actions in the
dropdown on the comment dialogs) as an alternative to using the built-in
JCR list. There have been a few bugfixes.

some more exotic things. Its troubleshooting support enables users to
quickly find solutions to problems seen in the log data.
Changes: This release adds a Statistics page for chart generation. The
following charts are possible: pie, vertical bar, and horizontal bar. All
charts can be configured within the Admin Center, if the user system is
installed and enabled. Custom charts can be added as well. Filter/search
support has been added for processid, event category, and the event user
field. There is a database update, as this release has a new table in which
to store configured charts. A few minor filtering issues have been fixed,
