pdfposter 0.4.1 (Default branch)

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Source

pdfposter can be used to create a large poster by
building it from multple pages and/or printing it
on large media. It expects as input a PDF file,
normally printing on a single page. The output is
again a PDF file, maybe containing multiple pages
together, thus building the poster. The input page
will be scaled to obtain the desired size. This is
much like poster does for Postscript files, but
works with PDF instead, since sometimes poster
does not like your files converted from PDF.
Indeed, pdfposter was inspired by poster.

Changes:
This version fixes a minor bug which prevented
some media-sizes and poster-sizes (such as Letter)
from being recognized.

check_logfiles 2.4.1 (Default branch)

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Source

check_logfiles is a plugin for Nagios which checks logfiles for defined patterns. It is capable of detecting logfile rotation. If you tell it how the rotated archives look, it will also examine these files. Unlike check_logfiles, traditional logfile plugins were not aware of the gap which could occur, so under some circumstances they ignored what had happened between their checks. A configuration file is used to specify where to search, what to search, and what to do if a matching line is found.

Changes:
A bug in which a warningpattern could downgrade a
sticky Critical to Warning was fixed.

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Source

check_oracle_health is a plugin for the Nagios
monitoring software that allows you to monitor
various metrics of an Oracle database. It includes
connection time, SGA data buffer hit ratio, SGA
library cache hit ratio, SGA dictionary cache hit
ratio, SGA shared pool free, PGA in memory sort
ratio, tablespace usage, tablespace fragmentation,
tablespace I/O balance, invalid objects, and many
more.

Changes:
New modes include list-tablespaces,
list-datafiles, datafile-io-traffic,
redo-io-traffic, roll-block-contention, and

improved. Environment variables (such as
ORACLE_HOME) can be passed with the –environment
parameter. Several bugs were fixed.

bigloo 3.1a (Default branch)

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Source

Bigloo is an implementation of the Scheme programming language. It relies on an optimizing compiler from Scheme to C. Bigloo enables connections between Scheme code and C code. It proposes many extensions to Scheme such as a regular parser compiler, an lalr parser compiler, pattern matching, an object layer, etc.

Changes:
This is a major release. It enhances the system
with: support for exact arithmetic (with big
numbers), a new version of the garbage collector
(Boehm’s collector v7.1), and a major improvement
in the implementation of multi-threading.

NoMachine NX 3.2.0-11 (Server branch)

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Source

Screenshot
NoMachine NX is a fast terminal server and desktop
virtualization system based on the X11 protocol.
NX is an order of magnitude faster than VNC or X11
and can run on bandwidth as narrow as 10 kBit/sec.
In addition, NX translates and embeds the MS
Windows Terminal Server and VNC protocols into
X/NX, enabling users to compress and accelerate
remote Windows and VNC sessions. The NX project
provides a suite of libraries and X11 proxying
agents implementing efficient compression and
optimized transport of X11, SMB, IPP, HTTP, and
arbitrary protocols like audio and video over the
Internet.

Changes:
This version provides fixes for a number of issues
such as NX server failing to check the exit code
when executing a custom script, allowing the
session to be started even when the script has
failed. It also fixes the fact that execution of
the nxserver –nodedel command may cause setting
of wrong ownership of the NX nodes db.

hamsterdb 1.0.3 (Default branch)

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Source

hamsterdb is an embedded database engine written
in ANSI-C. It includes B+Trees with variable
length keys and records. It supports in-memory
databases and endian-independent files, database
cursors, multiple databases in one file, “record number” databases, and duplicate keys. hamsterdb is very fast and highly configurable. It compiles and
runs on Unix platforms, Linux, Microsoft Windows,
and Windows CE.


License: GNU General Public License (GPL)


Changes:
This release adds support for logging and
recovery. Whenever the database file is modified,
the changes are written to a binary log. In case
of a system crash, the recovery process will then
redo all un-committed changes. Also, a few minor
bugs were fixed, most of them in the unittest
suite.

bib2html 6.2 (Default branch)

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Source

Screenshot
bib2html is a converter from a BibTeX database to
HTML files.

Changes:
Several third-party tools (such as BibDesk)
generate BibTeX field names with unrecognized
characters. Bib2ML was fixed to support them.

DirSynch 1.5.2 (Default branch)

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Source

Screenshot
DirSynch is a bidirectional directory
synchronizing software. It helps you to discover
the status of each file in both directories: if
it’s only in one of them, if it’s newer in one
than in the other, or if they are simply equal.
After letting you to choose which files do you
want to synchronize, it performs the right
operations to make both directories equal (or not,
if you want it different). The program can create
a backup of the files before overwriting them.


License: GNU General Public License v3


Changes:
This version fixes a bug that crashed the tool if
there was no .nosynch (or _nosynch) file or if
there wasn’t any wildcard pattern in it.
