Bart 0.1

2010-03-07T19:34:31Z

Bart is a puzzle-style game. In a maze, there is a human and several monsters. The human wants to escape (reach the "exit" point). The monsters, as you may have already guessed, want to eat him for breakfast. The human is in a panic, and you cannot control him at all! He runs in a straight line until reaching a wall, and then turns in a random direction and runs again or explores the maze. One way exists to help the human: you may rotate walls.

Changes: This is the initial release: Basic gameplay is ready and can be tested; art is in progress.

LDAP Account Manager 3.0.0.RC1

2010-03-07T17:45:30Z

LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a web frontend for managing entries (e.g. users, groups, DHCP settings) stored in an LDAP directory. LAM was designed to make LDAP management as easy as possible for the user. It abstracts from the technical details of LDAP and allows persons without technical background to manage LDAP entries. If needed, power users may still directly edit LDAP entries via the integrated LDAP browser.

Changes: The file upload was improved, and LAM Pro now supports OpenLDAP password policies and IP addresses for hosts. This release also fixes some problems. This is a test release. Please do not install it in your production environment.

Lazy Evaluation for Python 0.5

2010-03-07T16:35:03Z

Lazy Evaluation for Python is a package which implements lazy evaluation for Python. It does so by implementing proxy objects that will automatically force valuation when some magic methods are called, and it will automatically further delay evaluation on other methods (attribute access, item access, and calling).

Changes: The most notable new feature is a new kind of Promise subclass: ForkedFuture. This uses the multiprocessing module (hence the move to Python 2.6 as minimum) to implement a kind of future that forks a full process, and so allows making use of multi-core architectures easily while still keeping a very slim interface. Additionally, this project has moved to bitbucket and finally has a new stable repository with easy forking ability. The namespace has changed to 'lazypy', and the old namespace has been deprecated.

Forban 0.0.9

2010-03-07T15:37:36Z

Forban is a P2P file sharing application for link-local and local area networks. Forban works independently from the Internet and uses only the local area capabilities to announce, discover, search, or share files. Forban relies on HTTP and is opportunistic, meaning that it replicates any files of interest seen in its proximity. The Forban protocols are minimalistic to ease the production of other implementations.

Changes: Various bugfixes including the opportunistic fetching of not recently seen forban. The announce period is now consistent between the announce service and the opportunistic services. As the default value is now more coherent, the time to discover, announce, and fetch content is greatly improved.

Android Scripting Environment r17

2010-03-07T10:56:14Z

The Android Scripting Environment (ASE) brings scripting languages to Android by allowing you to edit and execute scripts and interactive interpreters directly on the Android device. These scripts have access to many of the APIs available to full-fledged Android applications, but with a greatly simplified interface that makes it easy to handle intents, start activities, make phone calls, send text messages, scan bar codes, poll location and sensor data, use text-to-speech, and more.

TongueTied 1.3.4

2010-03-07T07:58:05Z

TongueTied is a Web based application that helps with the creation of keywords with support for multi-language or multi-region resources. One of the key features of TongueTied is that it allows static resources to be exported from the application and can import translations from resources into the application. The following formats are currently supported for both export and import: Java Properties, .NET Resources (.resx), CSV, and Excel. TongueTied integrates an optional work flow around a keyword to track changes to a translation and ensure the validity of that translation. Operators are allowed to query a translation if they believe it to be incorrect.

Changes: Missing Java class warnings during startup of the Tonguetied server were fixed. The inability to find the resource "menuMacros.vm" was fixed. Encoding is now properly displayed. Resaving the keyword as displayed no longer ruins the translation.

HLBRW 0.2.4

2010-03-07T02:19:35Z

HLBRW is an acronym for Hogwash Light BR Watch. It is a tool to help make rules for HLBR. In other words, HLBRW was made to be used by HLBR users needing make new rules. It requires some expertise with HLBR, the TCP/IP protocol suite, and regular expressions. HLBRW is a script started by iwatch (a system events watch program) when the HLBR event log is modified. The concept is very single: if the HLBR log was modified, then a known attack was blocked. But the attacker might take other subsequent actions unknown by HLBR. When HLBRW starts, it will coordinate a tcpdump session to record the traffic generated by the attacker's IP address for the next few minutes. If the recorded traffic isn't relevant (without a push in TCP or another relevant protocol), the created file will be deleted. Based on the recorded traffic, the network security manager can make new rules. HLBRW is part of the HLBR project, an intrusion prevention system (IPS) used in firewall systems.

Changes: When directories are created, this is registered in the log. Directory permissions are changed to 0755 after creation. The destination directory after moves is registered in the log.

2010-03-06T18:51:53Z

HyperSQL is like the doxygen program with javadoc added - but for SQL. It hypermaps SQL views, packages, procedures, and functions to HTML source code listings, and it shows all the code locations where these are used. The internal "where used" functionality also scans C++ and Java source files. HyperSQL is written in Python for operating system independence.

Changes: Results should now be more correct, as the parser now ignores block comments. By default, it also ignores string contents now (you can configure this). And if you enable that feature, HyperSQL now can also detect local function/procedure calls. Moreover, two new JavaDoc tags (@wiki, @ticket) have been added, with configuration options for the corresponding base URLs - so you can directly link to the project's bug tracker and wiki. Having the URLs set up, HyperSQL will also scan JavaDoc text elements for ticket:123 and wiki:pagename to be turned into links.

PyUseCase 3.2.1

2010-03-05T19:24:03Z

PyUseCase is an unconventional GUI testing tool for PyGTK and Tkinter. Instead of recording GUI mechanics directly, it asks the user for descriptive names and hence builds up a "domain language" along with a "UI map file" that translates it into the current GUI layout. The point is to reduce coupling, allow very expressive tests, and ensure that GUI changes mean changing the UI map file but not all the tests. Instead of an "assertion" mechanism, it auto-generates a log of the GUI appearance and changes to it. The point is then to use that as a baseline for text-based testing, using e.g. TextTest. It also includes support for instrumenting code so that "waits" can be recorded, making it far easier for a tester to record correctly synchronized tests without having to explicitly plan for this.

Changes: There are minor bug fixes.

AZR3-JACK 1.2.0

2010-03-05T18:29:09Z

AZR3-JACK is a port of the free VST plugin AZR-3. It is a tonewheel organ with drawbars, distortion and rotating speakers. The original was written by Rumpelrausch Täips. The organ has three sections, two polyphonic with 9 drawbars each and one monophonic bass section with 5 drawbars. The two polyphonic sections respond to events on MIDI channel 1 and 2, and an optional keyboard split function makes the bass section listen to the lower keys on channel 1. The three sections have separate sustain and percussion switches as well as separate volume controls, and the two polyphonic sections have separate vibrato settings. All three sections are mixed and sent through the distortion effect and the rotating speakers simulator, where the modulation wheel can be used to switch between fast and slow rotation, and the fast and slow rotation speeds themselves can be changed separately for the lower and upper frequencies.

Changes: A man page and command line options for auto-connecting MIDI and audio ports, setting JACK client name and loading presets have been added. The XPM graphics have been converted to PNG to save process memory and installation size,

V6 Thompson Shell Port 20100228

2010-03-05T17:33:44Z

V6 Thompson Shell Port provides two ports of the original /bin/sh from Sixth Edition (V6) UNIX (circa 1975). osh is an enhanced port of the shell, and sh6 is an unenhanced port of the shell. This project also includes glob6, if, goto, and fd2 as external shell utilities. While they remain external for compatible use by sh6, these utilities are integrated into osh to improve shell performance.

Changes: This release changes osh globbing so that it is handled in the main osh process. This is for user convenience to allow (for example) `mkdir some_really_long_directory_name... ; cd some*...' and globbing for other special built-in commands as well.

jSmaTeP 1.0.2

2010-03-05T14:29:15Z

jSmaTeP assists in the use of Java for processing import and export data by configuring a data structure rather than by programming it. The structure of the import data is specified in an XML file. jSmaTeP then generates a value object representing exactly one row or record in the import file based on a given XML data configuration. This means that if the import or export format changes, only the XML data configuration needs to be changed to match it.

Changes: This release adds support for variable length records, support for hold/continue on parser error, null value support, and feature request ID 1 (http://code.google.com/p/jsmatep/issues/detail?id=1).
