Source: Freshmeat Daily News The SMS Server Tools (smstools) were made to send and receive SMS from one or many GSM modems. They include a send/receive daemon and some sample scripts to build an SMS email gateway and for logging into an SQL database. The daemon waits for files in an outgoing spool directory and sends them.

License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The requirement for a license to use extended
features was removed, and the source code was
released under the GNU GPL. If virtual host
takeover occurred on the last node in the cluster,
the bringup is no longer liable to be attempted on
any random node. Using a reservation disk no
longer results in bringing the cluster down due to
remaining nodes' inability to lock a disk until
SCSI timeout occurs. Label corrections in fsthamon
and minor documentation corrections were made.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News PLPA is an attempt to solve the problem of
multiple API's for processor affinity within
Linux. Specifically, the functions
sched_setaffinity() and sched_getaffinity() have
numbers and types of parameters depending on your
Linux vendor and/or version of GLibc. This is
quite problematic for applications attempting to
use processor affinity in Linux for compile-time,
link-time, and run-time reasons. The PLPA provides
a single processor affinity API that developers
can write to in order to get both consistent
behavior and binary compatibility across different
Linux installations (assuming that you have an
executable that is otherwise binary Linux portable).
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
This is the first official stable release. No changes were made since version 0.9a2 except the version number.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Stream-2-Stream (abbreviated "s2s" or "S2S")
allows anyone with a normal broadband connection
to set up their own Internet television or radio
station. Stations have no user limit, and can be
set up without paying a fortune for bandwidth.
Stream-2-Stream saves bandwidth by passing streams
from one peer to another, rather than everyone
getting a stream from one central server
(Shoutcast/Icecast). Supported codecs are MP3,
NSV, and Ogg Vorbis.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A volume slider was added. The server accepting
code is slightly more efficient. The server
options panel was cleaned up. A station viewer was
added. Ogg recording was fixed.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News WMApp is a C++ based library for writing
WindowMaker-style dockapps. It provides numerous
widgets, all with the traditional dockapp appearance.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Several fixes were made so that WMApp will compile
with modern, stricter C++ compilers. Two new, very
small fonts are now available. There are also new
set/getuserdata() members of the WMApp and
WMWidget classes that can be used to store
arbitrary data to be used within callback
functions.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News SODE uses long Taylor series to solve systems of
ordinary differential equations. It generates code
to solve the equations in either Icon (or Unicon)
or Maple. Using the Taylor series, estimates are
made of the location and order of poles. An effort
is made to adjust H to control the error. It has
worked well in testing, but needs more testing as
there are so many possibilities. To solve STIFF
equations, MAX_TERMS may be set. Differentiation
done automatically.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The calculation of the step size and order of
Taylor series used were greatly improved. A bug in
diffs on RHS were also fixed.

formats are supported.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A bug in detecting arj password protected archives
was fixed. A memory leak with the string which
contains the extract_path was fixed. Detection of
bzip2 was corrected, allowing Xarchiver to
recognize files compressed with a block size other
than 900k. A regression which caused bzip2 and
gunzip to remain as zombie processes was fixed. A
bug that caused Xarchiver to emit a segfault when
the X button is pressed while it is working was
fixed. A regression that prevented the creation of
tar.bz2 and tar.gz archives was fixed.

components). It provide common, useful features
used by every sensor.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release implemented analyzer revocation in prelude-adduser (which will require an upcoming prelude-manager update so that revoked analyzer are denied connections). prelude-adduser now uses GnuTLS anonymous authentication in the event that SRP is not available, which is becoming a requirement since some distributions disable SRP support due to patent issues. A crash that occurred when providing prelude-adduser with a specific option was fixed along with a potential OpenBSD compilation issue due to a missing dependency in the GnuLib inet_ntop module.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News phc is a compiler for PHP that will translate PHP
code directly into Linux assembly code. It can be
used as a (C++) framework for developing
refactoring tools, aspect weavers, script
obfuscators, and any other tools that operate on
PHP scripts.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release contains two minor bugfixes and a
number of minor feature enhancements. The most
important change is that "global" statements are
no longer represented explicitly in the tree, but
are represented in terms of reference assignments
(see "Converting PHP" for details). Further, the
abstract grammar has been modified slightly to
make it easier to use and more consistent.
Finally, the operation of the TreeTransform API
has been improved for transforms that modify the
tree structure (explained in tutorial 3), and the
internals of the TreeTransform API have been
documented.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1
implementation for Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It
interoperates with most other IPsec-based VPN
products. It is a descendant of the discontinued
FreeS/WAN project. The focus of the strongSwan
project is on strong authentication mechanisms
using X.509 public key certificates and optional
secure storage of private keys on smartcards
through a standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique
feature is the use of X.509 attribute certificates
to implement advanced access control schemes based
on group memberships.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A new "ipsec starter" utility that sets up and updates connections much faster then the existing awk-based "ipsec setup" script was added. It also provides an update option that only reloads connections that have changed in ipsec.conf. "ipsec start --auto_update 60" automatically checks for changes every 60 seconds. Thus if the %defaultroute parameter is used to designate Pluto's own IP address, then dynamic address or network interface changes can be handled without the need to restart Pluto.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News NuFW is an authentication firewall suite: the
gateway authorizes a packet depending on which
