About: JELAN provides facilities for constructing and invoking LL(1)
language lexical analyzers and parsers. These are embedded in the sense

to write and compile a lexical analyzer and parser from the language
specification.

Sat, Oct 4th 2008 19:03

Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Embedded Systems

About: LibU is a multiplatform C library that comes under a BSD-style
license. It includes many interdependent modules for accomplishing several
tasks: memory allocation, networking and URI parsing, string manipulation,
debugging, and logging in a very compact way, plus many other miscel***ous
tasks. It has a small footprint (about 70KB for the default configuration),
it is modular, and it has a multiplatform nature, making it an ideal
candidate for embedded systems. KLone is an example of such usage.

Changes: New APIs were added: u_config_sort_children, u_config_del_child,
u_config_print_to_fp, u_config_load_from_buf, u_config_save_to_buf,
u_config_load_from_drv, u_list_insert, u_list_del_n, u_log_set_lock (MT
support), u_log_set_unlock (MT support), and *_err_rcif. Support for
loading a configuration from opaque data sources was added. Support for the
"include" directive was added in the configuration. A new module for
dynamic array handling was added. A memory leak in the list module was
fixed. u_path_snprintf was fixed.

[015] - Linguistic Tree Constructor 3.0.0
by Ulrik Petersen (http://freshmeat.net/users/ulrikp/)
Sat, Oct 4th 2008 18:19

Education :: Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)
Text Processing :: Linguistic

About: Linguistic Tree Constructor is an application for drawing
linguistic syntax trees. Its main strength is assisting in data production
by quickly analyzing large amounts of text. "Generic" trees are supported,
as well as RRG and X-Bar trees. Node-categories are user-definable, and
additional user-definable labels can also be applied to each node.
Publication-quality, high-resolution, horizontal trees can be drawn. The
file format is based on TIGER-XML.

Changes: The file format was changed from an ad-hoc solution to being
based on the TIGER-XML standard. All tree operations are now substantially
faster. The state of the interface is now saved in the document file.
Export to Emdros MQL was improved.

[016] - MySQL Backup for lazy sysadmins 0.8
by Paul Kremer (http://freshmeat.net/users/nofutureuk/)
Sat, Oct 4th 2008 18:17

Database
System :: Archiving :: Backup

About: mysqlblasy is a Perl script for automating MySQL database backups.
It uses "mysqldump" for dumping mysql databases to the files sytem. It was
written with automated usage in mind. For example, it is silent during
operation, and only produces noise on errors/problems. It rotates backups
automatically to prevent the backup disk from getting full when the
administrator is on vacation (or is lazy).

Changes: Optional table optimization after dumping was added. Archive::ZIP
is not required when running on Win32.

[018] - phpW2ML 0.3

Sat, Oct 4th 2008 17:48

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML

About: phpW2ML is a Web 2 Markup Language (W2ML) processor. W2ML is an
XML-based open format. With a W2ML processor installed on the Web server,
it is possible to process W2ML markup in XHTML files. Web pages written in
XHTML+W2ML and served with phpW2ML can be edited online with standard Web
browsers.

Changes: The W2ML processor now supports the v W2ML element. It also
supports the style HTML attribute in WYSIWYG edition (CSS declarations are
whitelisted on save). A minor information leak was fixed: it was possible
to test the existence of files above the document root. On the W2ML
application side, new demonstrations include an information page
demonstrating the v element, hit counters with bitmapped fonts, and an "It
works" Apache-like home page.

Sat, Oct 4th 2008 19:06

System :: Operating System
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions :: CD-Based

About: The STUBS Toolchain and Utility Build Suite is a set of scripts
designed to build one or more software packages by means of a pre-written
set of configuration files. Each configuration file encapsulates the
necessary build and install commands for a given package, and URLs are
included so source and patches can be downloaded as necessary. STUBS is
designed to both bootstrap and work within the Franki/Earlgrey Linux
environment (an extensible busybox and uClibc-based Linux boot floppy
produced by one of several example STUBS configurations).

Changes: This prerelease introduces a separate set of extensions called
"Rou Gui", containing networking applications. The sanitized scripts of the
previous release have been extended with new versions of autoconf and
dhcpcd.
