Source: Freshmeat Daily News Gimmage is a simple image viewer that aims to have
a minimalist interface and tries to be keyboard
operable for browsing through a large number of
images quickly. It is appropriate for command line
usage as it accepts directories and image
filenames as arguments. It has an in-application
file browser that allows users to select and drag
images and directories into the image viewing area
in order to have them displayed.

Changes:
The orientation of the zoom-in/zoom-out buttons was reversed. The Makefile was changed so that the "debug" version now compiles without additional CFLAGS on Gentoo. /dev/null is no longer used when there is no file to load and a blank screen is shown rather than confusing the user with an error-like message. Error messages are only given when a file was recognized to be an image but failed to load. Visual feedback is now given for key presses (ie, activating the corresponding buttons). An attempt was made to prevent a crash when the program is not in the user's $PATH. Pressing escape now quits.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News WANPIPE S-series is a family of intelligent multi-protocol WAN and ADSL adapters that support data transfer rates up to 8Mbps. All WAN protocols supported by WANPIPE are implemented in firmware and run on the card. An advantage of an intelligent adapter is that it offloads the system CPU and improves stability. By adding a Sangoma WAN/ADSL component to the Linux kernel, one can create a powerful multi-T1/ADSL router/firewall with proven reliability of Linux. Sangoma S-series cards support an optional on board T1/E1 CSU/DSU that eliminates all external components of a traditional routing solution: i.e. T1/E1 line can be directly connected to the card. WANPIPE supports the following protocols, ATM, ADSL, Frame Relay, PPP, MULTILINK PPP, CHDLC, X25(API), BitStreaming (API), BiSync(API), and SDLC(API). Furthermore, WANPIPE supports custom API development such as: Credit card verification, Voice-over IP, Satellite Comm. All device drivers are part of the standard Linux Kernel distribution.

Changes:
A new version of MM_mag was included. Extreme values of magnitudes are now removed on criteria based on standard error and average value. The final estimation of magnitude is better constrained without taking into account extreme values, most of which are due to problems with poor quality signals such as glitches, channel down, etc.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). Merging of 2 or more log files is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the log files (through regular expressions) for faster recognition of what is important. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch'.

Changes:
This release adds several colors chemes (for squid, asterisk, acctail, wtmptail, (isc-)dhcpd, smartd, firewall logging, bind9, kerberos, samba, httping, mailscanner, exim, sendmail, netstat, and tcpdump). Multiple color schemes per file is now possible. multitail can convert IP adresses to hostnames and seconds since the Unix epoch to user configurable time formats. In case one is monitoring something without timestamps, multitail can add them itself. Type ahead in the file selector only worked for color lists; this has been fixed. The 'change color' menu has been fixed, and there is a fix for color scheme substring regular expressions.

Changes:
This release brings dynamic detection of your machine's installed memory and automatic adjustment of Java's memory limit. Many users that have a lot of memory installed on their machines (i.e. 1 GB or more) have commented that NeoOffice's protective measures for machines with less memory limits its ability to use the extra memory that is available memory on their machines. With this patch, if your machine has more than 512 MB of memory, NeoOffice will increase the maximum memory that Java can use in direct proportion to the amount of memory.

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

smart and centralized OS that can be implemented
in a home environment. It can be connected to a TV
or other large screen to record and play DVD
movies and surf the Internet. It also implements
video sharing with the NX technology, and includes
the videolan program for broadcasting video or

Source: Freshmeat Daily News FLoP is designed to gather alerts with payload
from distributed snort sensors on a central server
and to store them in a database (PostgreSQL and
MySQL are supported). On the sensor, the output is
written to a process called sockserv. This process
is threaded; one thread receives and buffers the
alert packets, and the other thread forwards them
to a central server. The output is decoupled from
snort, which can proceed in sniffing instead of
waiting for the output plugins. At the central
server, a process called servsock gathers all
alerts from the remote sensors and feeds them to
the database. A short description of alerts with
high priority together with the database ID can be
sent via email to a list of recipients.

Changes:
The interface name can be included. The database
can now be accessed via TCP. The drop and alert
feature can be deactivated. Alerts can be dropped
without writing the information to the drop
socket. A command line option was added to
getpacket to avoid following tagged packets. The
consistency checks for alert packets were
enhanced, and several checks were added. Some bugs
were removed, especially one regarding the sensor
name, in which parts of the previous connected
sensor were appended with a newline.
