reading different flat file structures and
displaying them in different formats. It is a
command line tool developed under GNU/Linux. The
main areas of use are; extracting particular

fixed length; verifying a flat file structure; as
a testing tool for flat file development; and
displaying flat file content in human readable form.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News rdup is a utility inspired by rsync and the Plan9
way of doing backups. rdup itself does not backup
anything; it only prints a list of the names of
files that have changed since the last backup.
Auxilary scripts are needed to act on this list
and implement the backup strategy. This way rdup
can be kept lean and mean.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A large memory optimization was made and two new scripts were added that make encrypted/zipped remote backups possible.

users expecting a ready-to-run program.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:

License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The IMAP SORT extension is now fully supported for fast message listings. Sieve scripts can be used to sort, discard, or send vacation messages during mail delivery. Drivers for the database and authentication backends are now loadable modules, making life easier for distribution packaging. Numerous bugs have been fixed, and there are small improvements made all around.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News flactagger is a tool for tagging FLAC files. Though it is useful for tagging any FLAC file, its main purpose is to automate and simplify tagging of multiple set of files. This is particularly useful when used with an info file, and when the FLAC files are named according to etree.org's naming conventions.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The file name of the file being tagged will be displayed if the environmental variable VERBOSE is set. There are some cosmetic changes to the output from --help. An error message that contradicted itself has been fixed.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News K3b is a CD and DVD burning application for Linux systems optimized for KDE. It provides a comfortable user interface to perform most CD/DVD burning tasks, such as creating an audio CD from a set of audio files or copying a CD. While the experienced user can influence all steps of the burning process, the beginner may find comfort in the automatic settings and the reasonable defaults which allow a quick start. The actual burning is done by the command line utilities cdrecord, cdrdao, and growisofs.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Honors umask when creating directories for Audio CD ripping. Only updates the buffer state for DVD burning if it really changes. Fixes a crash in verification if the CD/DVD does not contain RR extensions. Lowers the default DVD writing buffer size to 32 MB to avoid "memorylock limit" problems. Loading of libdvdcss has been fixed.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News The GNU Compact Disc Input and Control library encapsulates CD-ROM reading and control for applications wishing to be oblivious to the OS- and device-dependent properties of a CD-ROM. It provides an API for access to SCSI-MMC (multimedia commands) and support for CD image types like BIN/CUE, cdrdao's TOC, and Nero's NRG, which gives applications using the library the ability to read disc images as though they were CDs. ISO-9660 filesystem support is included, as are utility programs for displaying CD and CD-ROM drive information, reading the blocks of a CD, and extracting files from an ISO-9660 filesytem image. cdparanoia is also included.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)

now supported as an external editor. Several bugs
been fixed.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News SSDDiff is a diff application similar to GNU
diffutils that generates "patch" files for

but rather retains the document structure as
much as possible.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Minor improvements were made to the source code.
The autotools are now used, so installation is
much easier now, using a "configure" script.

Changes:
A new component, gb.net.smtp, allows the user to
send email with attachments by using the SMTP
protocol. Now everything is compiled with the gcc
flag "-fvisibility=hidden" activated, so component
exported symbols must be explicitely declared. The
gb.db.form component has been fixed and optimized.
CheckBox control now can be tristate. The Sqlite
version 2 driver has returned.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Speech and Debate Timekeeper is a collection of
two multi-platform timers for all speech and

of requests (e.g., with session cookies, authentication cookies)
and because the scripts can easily be tweaked to suit particular
requirements.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
