libobby, a library which provides synced document
buffers. It supports multiple documents in one
session and a multi-user chat system.

The chat log is wrapped, the connection status is displayed in the status bar, sessions can be serialised and restored (currently only on the host), name and colour can be changed from within the established connection, and the user and document list are now separate windows. Search and replace has been implemented.

A possible memory overrun in the RSA packing functions has been fixed.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News robots.txt is a PHP script that acts like a normal robots.txt file, but with a few differences. When a Spider attempts to access robots.txt, the script will "disallow" access to a list of pre-defined directories. When a normal user attempts to access robots.txt, it will "disallow" access to all directories. This is a security precuation and an attempt to prevent users from finding "hidden" directories by looking at the robots.txt file.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The two serious bugs that meant robots.txt did not function properly were fixed. A bug that meant the data printed back would not be parseable by Web crawlers was fixed. A new function to clean up data from the files was added.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News LiVES is a simple to use yet powerful video effects, editing, conversion, and playback system aimed at the digital video artist and VJ. It uses commonly available tools (Mplayer, ImageMagick, and GTK+), so it should work on most Unix-like systems. It runs under Linux, BSD, IRIX, and openMosix (and soon OS X/Darwin). It works with almost all types of video, and is fully extendable through plugins and the included plugin builder tool.

preview was hanging when the file was loaded.
There were also a couple of new features. The

layout was improved (more sliders are drawn).
Frame size and FPS are now suggested depending on
target encoder when going into multitrack mode.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News robots.txt is a PHP script that acts like a normal robots.txt file, but with a few differences. When a Spider attempts to access robots.txt, the script will "disallow" access to a list of pre-defined directories. When a normal user attempts to access robots.txt, it will "disallow" access to all directories. This is a security precuation and an attempt to prevent users from finding "hidden" directories by looking at the robots.txt file.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
robots.txt comments were removed since they make
the program identifiable. The ability to easily
insert your own additional robots.txt directives
was added. The list of robots and hosts was moved
outside of the file to text files. A little bit of
cleaning up was done.

Changes:
The Polish translation was fixed. A command line
relative path bug was fixed. The CHM input stream
implementation on Windows was fixed. The build
scripts are MinGW32-friendly.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Conary is a distributed software management system
for Linux distributions. It replaces traditional
package management solutions (such as RPM and
dpkg) with one designed to enable loose
collaboration across the Internet. It enables sets
of distributed and loosely connected repositories
to define the components which are installed on a
Linux system. Rather than having a full
distribution come from a single vendor, it allows
administrators and developers to branch a
distribution, keeping the pieces which fit their
environment while grabbing components from other
repositories across the Internet.
License: Common Public License
Changes:
Several performance improvements, particularly
including dependency calculation and repository
performance. Repository mirrors are now more
robust, the conary showcs command has additional
functionality, and entitlements are now always

Source: Freshmeat Daily News The WiKID Strong Authentication System is a highly
scalable, secure two-factor authentication system
consisting of a server, a token client, and

VPN or Web page to the WiKID server to validate
one-time passcodes. The user enters their PIN into
the token client, where it is encrypted and sent
to the server. If the PIN is correct, the
encryption valid, and account active, the one-time
passcode is generated, encrypted, and returned to
the user. It is simple to implement and maintain,
allows users to be validated automatically,
requires no hardware tokens, has a simple API for
application support via a COM object and Java
component, supports multiple domains, and supports
replication for fault tolerance and scalability.

Changes:
An LDAP management interface was added.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Python Regular Expression Builder (Pyreb) is a wxPython GUI to the re
python module. It speeds the development of Python regular expressions
(similar to PCRE). The GUI is simple and features three parts, a text
box where the text to be analyzed is displayed, a text box where the
regular expression to be applied is displayed, and a tree control
where the results are displayed When one of the two textboxes change,
the regex is compiled and applied. Errors in the regex are shown in a
statusbar. Pyreb is somewhat similar to the Activestate RX Toolkit (part
of Komodo IDE), but is a completely different project.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Pyreb now uses the Scintilla-based
wxStyledTextCtrl to write regular expressions. In
this release only brace highlighting is available,
but better editing support is planned.
