Source: Freshmeat Daily News Open Administration for Schools (OAfS) is a
Web-based school administration package. Open
Admin does demographics, attendance, discipline,
report cards, and has an online gradebook and
parent viewing function. It is designed for
elementary, K-12, and small high schools. It
generates plain HTML and uses LaTeX for PDF
generation. It also includes special education and
division-wide central office modules (all schools
run on the same server with different virtual
sites; two sites per school, one for teachers, and
one for the office). Parent functions are by
separate parent/school site.

Changes:
This version begins the use of templates to allow the student tables to be extended to allow schools to add additional fields to student demographics. The templating is used by student enrollment, editing, search, view, and full student roster. The updated scripts also make use of a meta table to control form entry and other aspects of editing. The gradebook application now uses session management via the Perl module CGI::Session. This improves security and simplifies session management.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News SndBite is a specialized audio editor designed for
breaking large recordings into smaller components
with great efficiency. Its principal intended
application is in linguistic research where it is
often desirable to put each word or sentence into
a separate file before further processing. Its
features include multiple simultaneous views of
the waveform at different resolutions, the ability
to position window edges at transitions between
sound and silence, automated setting of cut points
at zero-crossings, automatic filename generation
easily controlled by the user, and optional
automatic playback on window motion.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
It is now possible to execute commands from script
files and to run SndBite in batch mode. This
permits fully automatic operation, which may work
if the audio files are sufficiently clean.
Miscellaneous minor enhancements and bugfixes were
also made.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News slapt-get is an APT-like system for Slackware
package management. It allows you to search
Slackware mirrors and third-party package sources
(such as www.linuxpackages.net) for packages,
compare them with installed packages, and install
new packages or upgrade installed packages, all
with a few simple commands.

Changes:
Changes include various code updates, a bugfix for
a hardcoded mirror setting, and an updated
Portuguese_Portugal translation.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News GeSHi is a generic syntax highlighter for PHP that takes any source code and highlights it in XHTML and CSS. It features case-sensitive or insensitive highlighting, auto-caps/non-caps of any keyword, an unlimited scope for styling, the use of CSS in which almost any aspect of the source can be highlighted, the use of CSS classes to massively reduce the amount of output code, function-to-URL capabilities, line numbering, and much more. Over 30 languages are supported, including Java, C, PHP, HTML, CSS, SQL, Pascal, C++, XML, ASP, and ASM.

Changes:
Major features include a new infrastructure for
supporting multiple output formats (like PDF or
DOC, although only HTML is currently supported), a
huge memory usage reduction, and a new
infrastructure to give languages access to the
parsed source so they can modify it if needed. In
addition, the zero length string bug is fixed, and
a couple of issues with Delphi have been resolved.

Changes:
This release includes a few bugfixes and a few
features. Changes include updated translations,
updated dialog boxes, a bugfix to allow unmarking
packages selected for reinstallation, a correction
to a hardcoded mirror regression, a new option to
continue to install packages with broken
dependencies. The shortcut for "unmark all" was
changed to ctrl-z.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Visitors is a very fast Web log analyzer. It can
process up to 150,000 lines/second of logs on a
modern PC, outputs statistics in plaintext or
HTML, and can be used interactively in a pipe with
less to just see the stats quickly, or run via
cron for the HTML output. It does not require any
kind of configuration, nor to know the format of
the Web log file to process.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Two new reports were added: "AdSensed pages" which
shows pages accessed recently by the Google
AdSense bot, and "Human Languages" via Google's
referer "hl" GET parameter (this does not need to
resolve IP addresses to guess the language of
visitors). Keyword based referer spam filtering
was added. The browser list was updated with the
ability to detect different versions of IE and
Gecko-based browsers. A problem regarding long
lines in the HTML output causing issues sending
reports by email was fixed. The parsing code and
the unique visitors algorithm were improved.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News gnormalize is a front end to the "normalize" tool,
a ripper, an encoder, and an audio converter. It
decodes MP3, MP4 (or M4A or AAC), MPC (or MPP or MP+), OGG, APE, or FLAC files to wave, then
normalizes the wave and re-encodes it. It can also
rip audio CDs, encode audio data, convert audio
formats between MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, APE, and FLAC, and change the encoding properties and edit Meta Info (like title, artist, album, etc.) of the final normalized files.

Changes:
More than one album or artist can be selected by
pressing the control key and mouse button.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Stella is a freely distributed multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator originally developed for Linux by Bradford W. Mott.

Changes:
An integrated GUI, ROM launcher, and debugger was
added. The sound subsystem was improved. Support
was added for cartridge "frying", zipped ROMs,
editing of game properties directly within the
application, and the 3E bankswitching format.
Initial support for "arcade-box" use, preliminary
cheatcode support, and fixes for AMD64 and PPC64
Linux 64-bit issues were added.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News PHPS is a framework for separating HTML from PHP
or, more generally, content from functionality.
PHPS comes with a parser that converts your HTML
code into PHP objects which you can then
manipulate and finally render back into HTML. PHPS
is extremely flexible and allows you to add
arbitrary tags that convert into PHP objects,
simplifying your HTML code.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
An HTML parser was added, so regular HTML files
can be used with PHPS. New tags were added for
convenience, like (space) and (br #). A "let" tag
was added to define variables within the HTML that
can be dynamically altered at runtime.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News uClinux is a set of patches for Linux that
supports MMUless processors. It brings a full
featured operating system onto platforms that
would otherwise run less advanced, simpler
operating systems. uClinux gives the programmer a
Linux API with remarkably few concessions to the
lack of MMU (Memory Management Unit), and in terms
of code size and efficiency it has an advantage
over standard Linux.

This stable release contains linux-2.6.12-uc0,
linux-2.4.31-uc1, linux-2.0.39-uc2, uClibc-0.9.27,

searches and import/export bugs. Reports were
improved. New on-line help sections were added in
English. A new Spanish translation was added. Many
minor bugfixes were made for PHP5. The Debian
package was improved.
