Thread Safe Template Library 1.2.1 (Default branch)

Fri, 14/11/2008 - 12:17am
Thread Safe Template Library (TSTL) is a C++ library that provides thread-safe storage data structures without global locking. It includes classes for maps based on a non-binary extensible hashing tree for very fast access, a pipe, a queue, a timercache, a limitcache, and a fast writer multiple reader guard (WMRG) without global locking (which uses the interlocked instruction set of the CPU). It's useful for writing multithreaded applications and operating system components. License: Freeware Changes:
Bugs in the "relocker" template and GNU assempler inline macros were fixed. The "unilocker" template was added. All templates use "unilocker" instead of RESOURCE_LOCK() macros now.

blindRSS 0.3 (Default branch)

Fri, 14/11/2008 - 12:15am
blindRSS is a very simple browser-operated RSS reader. You can click through the feeds in a sidebar, use the (hopefully self-explanatory) icons next to them to manipulate them, and do all the other stuff a RSS reader should do. It's programmed so that the feeds are reread by a cronjob or daemon, while as much functionality as possible is done within the client. Thus, the server only serves the data, not the markup. License: Public Domain Changes:
This version now resizes the height of the feedlist and content area according to browser window size on startup; feeds can now be put into different categories of (theoretically) infinite depth for better organization by adding pseudo-feeds with an empty URL. The database has been changed to allow for a much faster download of feed content. A small syntax error has also been fixed.

XWiki 1.7 Milestone 2 (Default branch)

Fri, 14/11/2008 - 12:13am

ALSA driver 1.0.18a (Stable branch)

Thu, 13/11/2008 - 10:52pm
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is composed of several parts. The first is a fully modularized sound driver which supports module autoloading, devfs, isapnp autoconfiguration, and gives complete access to analog audio, digital audio, control, mixer, synthesizer, DSP, MIDI, and timer components of audio hardware. It also includes a fully-featured kernel-level sequencer, a full compatibility layer for OSS/Free applications, an object-oriented C library which covers and enhances the ALSA kernel driver functionality for applications (client/server, plugins, PCM sharing/multiplexing, PCM metering, etc.), an interactive configuration program for the driver, and some simple utilities for basic management. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
The CS5535 driver and the HDA drivers were enhanced. PXA2xx Core support was improved. Several bugs were fixed. Code was cleaned up, and building with recent kernels was fixed.

License: Affero General Public License Changes:

DBIx::Perlish 0.47 (Default branch)

Thu, 13/11/2008 - 10:50pm
The DBIx::Perlish module provides the ability to work with databases supported by the DBI module using Perl's own syntax for the four most common operations: SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and INSERT. By using DBIx::Perlish, you can write most of your database queries using a domain-specific language with Perl syntax. However, the module is not intended to replace all use of SQL in your program. The DBIx::Perlish module quite intentionally neither implements nor cares about database administration tasks like schema design and management. License: BSD License (revised) Changes:
The 0 is now recognized in 'last unless 0..9'.

The generated application installers have a native look-and-feel and no external dependencies, and can be run in GUI, text, and unattended modes. In addition to self-contained installers, the installation tool is also able to generate standalone RPM packages. License: Other/Proprietary License with Free Trial Changes:
New 'encodeBase64' and 'decodeBase64' actions were added along with a new 'componentTest' rule. Link creation now supports abort/retry/ignore. An issue with OS X case-sensitive HFS+ file systems was fixed. The 'showProgressDialog' action was fixed for Linux 64-bit platforms. Missing text messages on OS X root installations were fixed. An OS X firewall warning thrown when running the installers was fixed. A new 'uninstallationLogFile' project property was added.

Skwish 0.1.2 (Default branch)

Thu, 13/11/2008 - 5:45pm
Skwish is a fast, simple, lightweight Java library for storing blobs on the file system. It allows multiple concurrent readers and writers, provides all-or-nothing write semantics, and is designed to survive abnormal, unclean shutdown. Skwish is a structured implementation of storing all blobs in a single file to save on file system I/O. Skwish is premised on the proposition that blob storage ought to be orthogonal to the task of indexing. It is meant to be a clean and simple store on which some other index can be built. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes:
SegmentManager was renamed as SegmentStore. The thread pool is now shared across all SegmentStore instances. Entry contents can now be updated, though the entry's size can not.

Tokyo Cabinet 1.3.18 (Default branch)

Thu, 13/11/2008 - 4:51pm
Tokyo Cabinet is a library of routines for managing a database. It is the successor of QDBM. Tokyo Cabinet runs very fast. For example, the time required to store 1 million records is 1.5 seconds for a hash database and 2.2 seconds for a B+ tree database. Moreover, the database size is very small. For example, the overhead for a record is 16 bytes for a hash database, and 5 bytes for a B+ tree database. Furthermore, the scalability of Tokyo Cabinet is great. The database size can be up to 8EB. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes:
An on-memory ordered tree database was added. Performance of the B+ tree was improved.

Music Player Daemon 0.14.0~alpha2 (Default branch)

Thu, 13/11/2008 - 4:51pm

It makes a great desktop player with frontend options (Qt, GTK, ncurses, Windows, and Web clients are available). It is also appropriate as a console player that is scriptable, and is especially useful if X is restarted frequently. A set of rapid development tools for clients are being developed and include a C library, Python module, PHP class, Perl module, and Java Class. The goals are to be easy to install and use, to have minimal resource requirements, to be stable and flexible, and easy to interface. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:

It converts any DRM protected iTunes music files (such as M4P, M4A, M4B) and unprotected music (such as MP3, WAV, AAC, OGG, AA, aif) to plain MP3 or AAC formats. MAC M4P Converter uses a virtual CD burning technology to simulate the burning and ripping/encoding process automatically. It does not crack DRM control. This means it will function with all copy-protection measures. License: Shareware Changes:
A crash bug was fixed.
