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:
Fixes several bugs in the MySQL single database drivers that prevented Magellan from working properly in command line mode. The Google Web driver has been adapted to the new output format from the search engine. A potential bug in the proxy management system has been fixed.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News The Bind9 SNMP Subagent provides indexed BIND 9
statistics via SNMP output. Data, query, and graph templates are provided for Cacti.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Completely disables the output of the Index branches. They should be 'invisible' so they don't interfere with the table(s). The Cacti templates have been fixed to account for this. All (?) configurable options have been put into a config file. The MIBDIRS check to determine whether it is running from the shell or SNMPd was flawed. It only worked on Debian GNU/Linux. Instead, the OID is set to the correct/real value when going into the 'get input from STDIN' loop. This is a sure sign of running through the SNMP system. A missing help() function (referenced, but didn't exist) was added.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Perso can handle different types of identity card
numbers (e.g. German/Austrian ID-card and

correctness using the "7-3-1"-checksum algorithm.
Also it can extract information from the numbers
(e.g. birthday) or generate example numbers using
custum values.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The new version comes with one single application
which can handle all different types of identity
card numbers. It's now highly configurable, so you
can now generate numbers with their own custom
fields and extract information from a number. Some
example shell-scripts are included which show you
the new usage. The documentation was rewritten.

Changes:
The ability for the user to save settings for the
current view was added. CorrelationAlert is marked
explicitly in the AlertListing. The inline filter
mark was made more visible. The new --address and
--port options were added to prewikka-httpd. The
ability to setup a filter using iana_protocol_name
and iana_protocol_number was added. The protocol
number is resolved from the message summary view.
The timeline years value is sanitized if it
exceeds system specs. A bug where clicking the IP
address popup would cause Firefox to go back to
the top of the page was fixed. The path is no
longer hardcoded to /usr/bin/python.

module, which implements a high-level, easy-to-use
call control API. WengoPhone supports PC-to-PC
voice, video, and chat. One can use a standard SIP
service provider such as Wengo to be assigned an
incoming number, make calls to PSTN/cell phones,
get voice mail, and more.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Enhancements were made to audio and video support.
General stability fixes were made. A rich text
chat was added. RPM and DEB packaging was
implemented in the build system. Arts support was
added. The user interface was improved. Additional
translations were made.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News smf-zombie is a Sendmail filter designed to reject spam and viruses
from zombie PCs. This filter blocks up to 90% of the mail sent by
spam/virus engines, checks the sender's IP address with a reliable RBL
(cbl.abuseat.org), safely rejects "alien" bounces without violating any
RFC, rejects messages for undisclosed recipients, and rejects harmful
attachments to prevent a virus from spreading. This filter aims to be
lightweight, reliable, and simple.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Successfully authenticated senders will now bypass
the filtering. Cosmetic enhancements were made.

virtually any flavor of Linux or Unix, and maybe
even Mac OS X.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Two nasty bugs were fixed in local printing,
ebuild, printcap-convert, and unwanted output to
stdout. The print group was changed to lp for
gentoo conformity. (un)lockprinter commands were
added. The install script was changed to use
portage on gentoo systems. A Web page was added to
the standard documentation. The package now
unpacks into a subdirectory.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News BBStatus is an IP accounting package and an SNMP and IP monitoring tool for Linux. It collects, summarizes, and displays the values from its database. It can be used for IP accounting (allows you to design various
kinds of accounting filters), SNMP monitoring (collects data making SNMP requests), ICMP monitoring (stores and summarizes values like min, avg, max reply time, and packet loss), and client traffic filtering (using various types of filters). It also provides user based access so that every user can log in and visualize various data (depending on access rights). It requires PostgreSQL, Apache with mod_auth_pgsql, Perl(Net::SNMP), and RRDTool.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Big performance improvements were made by
switching ICMP monitoring from netping to fping
and by doing SNMP monitoring once per minute for
1/5 of all monitored hosts instead of doing it
once every 5 minutes for all hosts. A new and
experimental accounting tool that uses tcpdump was
added. Some compatibility issues with newer Linux
kernel and iptables versions were solved. Various
minor bugfixes were made.

plugins. As of version 0.3.9, the Audacious and
BMP players are also supported.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Support for the Beep Media Player and Audacious
players was added. Patches were added for
supported players. These patches provide hooks for
XMMS-crossfade, which are used for querying
information about the current state of XMMS. With
this information, it is possible to provide more
reliable songchange detection, which should fix
broken crossfades when playing songs from slow
media. This should also fix the segfault-on-exit
bug that many users have been encountering.
Finally, XMMS-crossfade should now compile using
GCC4.

demonstrate how to display an existing Qt abstract
item model (such as directory model).
