Changes:
Minor bugfixes, build fixes for Win32, and a binary release for Win32.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Lynkeos is an application dedicated to the processing of
astronomical images taken with a Webcam through a
telescope. By stacking the best images, the signal to noise
ratio is increased and details lost in the noise of individual
images become visible in the resulting image. This
software accepts QuickTime sequences or still images, in
any image format supported by Cocoa, as input. It
generates a 16 bits RGB TIFF image as output, to be further
processed with some all-purpose image processing
application.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release implements a plugin architecture for reading and saving images and movies in different file formats. This release adds the support of monochrome and 16 bit TIFF images, FITS images, and digital camera (most brands) RAW format images.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News DiskTool is a small, full-featured file manager
for the Linux console or an xterm-style
terminal. It features file copying, moving, and
renaming, file marking for performing the same
action on all marked files (such as copy or
delete), full directory support such as moving,
renaming, and deleting directories, permission
and owner support (like chmod and chown),
file editing and creation, an RPM manager for
installing and inspecting .rpm files, an archive
center supporting .tar, .gz, .tar.gz, and .zip
files, and fully configurable colors and editor
choices. All features are available with single
keystroke commands and require very little
understanding of Linux. DiskTool is written in
Pascal and not in C. The source code is
available upon email request, but you will
need to install the FPC compiler to compile the
modules.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Useful Java Application Components (UJAC) is a collection of components
that may be useful for your project. It provides a powerful expression
interpreter, an iText-based document processing engine that generates
PDF documents based on XML templates, a charting library supporting JSP
custom tags, and much more.

Changes:
This release mainly fixes some nasty bugs, which had been discovered since 0.9.23 and had not been completely fixed in version 0.9.24.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News fwknop is a flexible port knocking implementation
that is based around iptables. Both shared knock
sequences and encrypted knock sequences are
supported. In addition, fwknop makes use of
passive OS fingerprinting signatures derived from
p0f to ensure the OS that initiates a knock
sequence conforms to a specific type. This makes
it possible to allow, say, only Linux systems to
connect to your SSH daemon. Both the knock
sequences and OS fingerprinting are completely
implemented around iptables log messages, and so a
separate packet capture library is not required.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release adds a completely new authorization method that only requires a single encrypted packet, which is sniffed off the wire now with the Net::Pcap module. This method is far better than port knocking, because much more data can be transmitted (up to the minimum MTU between the client and the sniffing "server"), authorization packets are non-replayable, and an attacker cannot break the communication simply by interjecting connection requests inside a knock sequence. The ability to spoof authorization packets and the ability to read packets out of a file created by the ULOG packet writer have been added.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News openMailAdmin is a little administration interface to
every complete IMAP mail server daemon. It supports
every feature IMAP provides, and fits in most MTA
configurations. A key feature is the non-standard,
generic administration hierarchy which not only
seperates "normal users" from "administrators",
but enables the mailserver-master to create
instances between them. You will be able to let
other users create their own sub-users and thus
either share a single mail server between
different organizations or project your company's
employee structure. It excels with features such as regex addresses and folder ACL management.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Folder ACL support was added. Now all functionality is to be found on a separate page. It supports every complete IMAP server. Renamed to openMailAdmin in order to reflect the above.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Oddjob is an open source Java job scheduler and
job toolkit. It uses an XML configuration file to

provides a GUI monitor and the ability to connect
to a remote instance over RMI. It is easily
extendable, allowing programmers to develop their
own jobs.
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Changes:
This release introduces Oddjob Designer, a GUI configuration tool for Oddjob. Job coverage is limited, but Oddjob Designer will automatically switch to XML editing if it doesn't know how to present a form to configure a job.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Magellan Metasearch is a modular meta search
engine, enabling users to monitor as many search
engines as they want and use a complex query
language with full boolean syntax and proximity
operators, which is much more elaborate than
languages provided by Google, Altavista, etc. It
can be fed any 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 in real time.

It features support for all IP protocols and VPNs such as IPSec. and is easy to configure and highly customizable. A filter script that makes your firewall log more readable is also included.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Enhanced DMZ support. A lot of fixes concerning broadcasts (eg. DHPC and MAC filtering code). $DMZ_LAN_xxx_FORWARD variables have been fixed and renamed to $DMZ_LAN_OPEN_TCP. All LAN_xxxxxxxx variables have been renamed to LAN_INET_xxxxxxx for better consistency. fwfilter has been enhanced. NAT/DMZ forwarding has been fixed/changed.
