Source: Freshmeat Daily News LogiLogi.org Make is yet another make replacement,
but one that allows you to create your makefile in
C++. A header and footer are added to it, and it's
then compiled using your C++ compiler. Afther that
it's run, and that's the point where your other
sources are being compiled. Thanks to the lakeUsr
extension library (which is included), many
(possibly complex) compile commands can be given
with one simple function call. The lakeUsr library
features compilation of source trees, compilation
of static libraries, installation of libraries and
headers, and cleaning. LogiLogi.org Make was
inspired by Icmake.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The lakeExtend library was added for modularity. Functionality can now be replaced and switched easily even between tasks in a lakefile. The (drastically restructured) lakeUsr library builds upon lakeExtend and provides easy user functions. Settings can now be set in 3 ways: from the command line, from config files, and from within a lakefile. Sources were grouped together in files to reduce compile time and to improve maintainability.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News mkCDrec (Make CD-ROM Recovery) makes a bootable
(El Torito) disaster recovery image, including
backups of the Linux system to one or more
CD-ROM(s) (multi-volume sets). Otherwise, the
backups can be stored on another disk, NFS/CIFS disk,
or (remote) tape. After a disk crash or system
intrusion, the system can be booted from the
CD-ROM and one can restore the complete system as
it was. It also features disk cloning, which
allows one to restore a disk to another disk (the
destination disk does not have to be of the same
size, as it calculates the partition layout
itself). Currently, ext2, ext3, minix, MS-DOS,
FAT, VFAT, Reiserfs, XFS, and JFS filesystems are
supported. It can restore disks in Software RAID and LVM mode. It supports the One Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) mode, which simulates a bootable CD-ROM on tape.

License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
New functionality to emulate human behaviour by pausing appropriately between every clicks. A bug was fixed where the script continued beyond the last message if told to download messages more than what Yahoo! is aware of. Another bug was fixed by forcing login if no cookie exists.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News monq.jfa is a class library for fast and flexible
text filtering with regular expressions. In
contrast to java.util.regex, monq.jfa allows a
regular expression to be bound to an action that
is automatically called whenever a match is
spotted in an input stream. In addition, it can
combine several ten thousand regex/action pairs
into one machinery (called a "deterministic finite
automaton" or DFA) for fast parallel text
filtering. A general purpose TCP server and
associated classes in monq.net allow the
bigger DFAs to be run as servers.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The ServiceFactory interface was extended with an additional parameter object that allows last minute configuration of the Service to be created. Dist(Pipe)?Filter and FilterServiceFactory were changed towards more abstraction from the underlying protocol. This results in an incompatibility with version 0.18 and older, meaning that servers have to be recompiled and restarted.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Facter is a simple cross-platform library for determining basic facts

It includes some important features, such as operators, kick-ing, whispering, and more. Multiple rooms and different languages are available. To run ARSC on your site, you need a Web server that understands PHP, and can connect to a MySQL database.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A dedicated ping frame was added, moving the ping functionality away from the userlist. A 'flag as idle' functionality, which flags users that would have been kicked in former versions as idle, was added, allowing for other users to log in as the idle user if they have the same IP or, if it is a registered user, know the user's password. The user is de-flagged if he sends in a ping again. The socket server was removed; it will be reintroduced once it is stable.

methods, s_param() and s_delete(), to handle session parameters. A
number of static methods have also been included to facilitate error
handling and array/hash conversion.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release fixes run() in Cgiapp5 to call query() instead of cgiapp_get_query(). __call() has been updated in both Cgiapp and Cgiapp5 to indicate the method called if unable to find a matching action (debugging aid).

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables
the execution of user programs in a kernel mode.
In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can access
kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel
modules, user programs are executed as ordinary
processes (except for their privilege level), so
scheduling and paging are performed as usual.
Although it seems dangerous, the safety of the
kernel can be ensured through such methods as
static type checking, software fault isolation,
and so forth.

Changes:
This version was merged with the 2.4.32 Linux kernel.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News nekobee is a DSSI soft synth plugin that emulates
the sound of the TB-303 Bassline. It is not an
exact copy; rather than make it "just like the
real thing", the design concentrates on modelling
the circuitry and was adjusted by comparing the
sounds achievable with it to those heard on
classic acid house tracks. It includes a
switchable square/saw wave VCO, 24dB/octave VCF,
an adjustable decay time for the VCF, a fixed
decay time for the VCA, and an interesting bit of
circuitry around the "Accent" control that hasn't
been successfully implemented even on a certain
well-known commercial program.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Clicking when gliding to and from accented notes has been fixed. The Square/Saw knob now acts like a switch, not a linear knob.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Magellan Metasearch is a modular meta search engine, enabling users
to monitor as many search engines as they want. It provides a complex
query language with standard boolean operators, meta-operators (to
search through pages' metadata), and proximity operators. This language
enables users to perform far more complex queries than what common
search engines currently support. It can be fed any custom sources,
since its abstraction layer manages the search results and their meta
tags in a uniform way. In conjunction with the local process scheduler
(such as "cron"), Magellan enables you to save your requests and replay
them later automatically; new results are sent through email and RSS
in realtime. Magellan also provides full anonymity through smart
multi-proxy support.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release adds several significant improvements for developers, including a handy debugging console that enables in-depth events analysis. A new geo-localisation plugin based on "DIY MAP" has been added: a flash module displays search results on a world map based on their IP location.

Changes:
A new tempo setting dialog has been incorporated to Smart DJ, letting you tap the tempo and offering you the choice of the newly estimated tempo or a factor of the original tempo (for songs that have already been analyzed, this is the most accurate tempo value). Some signal connection errors have been fixed (the timeout(void) famous error) in the PyQt user interface.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News CoaSim is a tool for simulating the coalescent
process with recombination and gene conversion
under the assumption of exponential population
growth. It efficiently constructs the ancestral
recombination graph for a given number of
individuals and uses this to simulate samples of
SNP and micro satellite haplotypes/genotypes. The
generated sample can afterwards be separated in
cases and controls, depending on the states of
selected individual markers. The tool can
accordingly also be used to construct cases and
control data sets for association studies.
