AMaViS-ng 0.1.6 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256297
AMaViS-ng is a modular rewrite of amavisd and amavis-perl. It scans email for malicious code inside attachments and archive files, stopping delivery if malicious code is found. It supports integration of several third-party virus scanners and integrates nicely into several MTA setups. Unlike amavis-perl and amavisd, there is no need for build-time configuration. Changes: Support for Courier-MTA, CLAM Antivirus daemon, F-Prot daemon ("enterprise") version, INOC, NOD32 daemon, RAV, Trophie daemon, and drWeb has been added. The main documentation is now provided in Texinfo format.
Crystal Space 0.96r003 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256365
Crystal Space 0.96r003 has been released. This release fixes a number of the problems and issues discovered in the 0.96r002 release. Crystal Space is an Open Source 3D SDK for Unix, Windows, MacOS/X. It renders with OpenGL or software and features curved surfaces, volumetric fog, dynamic colored lighting, terrain engine, LOD, procedural textures, portals, etc. Here is a brief overview of some of the problems addressed by this release: * On some drivers OpenGL incorrectly reports the maximum texture size. CS now detects this case and uses a reasonable default. * Several bugs were fixed in the ensocket networking plugin. * PNG image loader now works on platforms with different structure sizes. * Map2CS outputs directly usable XML now. levtool is still needed to improve performance. * Bug fixed in OpenGL which could causes objects to disappear. * Fullscreen in Windows/OpenGL works better now. * Fixed memory leak in OpenGL. * Fixed memory overwrite bug in Dynavis. This could cause crashes at exit. * Fixed several culling errors in Dynavis. * Fixed dynamic ambient for objects using DrawPolygonMesh. * Fixed ref counting problems in the DirectSound renderer. * Fixed a bug in the AWS notebook. * Fixed bugs in the sequence manager to ensure that operations are fired in the right order. * Added new csArray class. * The localshadows flag for genmesh now works. * 'ball' mesh object now implements iPolygonMesh (can be used for collision detection). * Static and pseudo-dynamic lighting recalculation is now a LOT faster (several factors). * Updating the color of a pseudo-dynamic light is also faster. * Fixed several bugs in the console. * Several smaller performance improvements. * Several smaller bug fixes. * Several configure/autoconf changes. Check out http://crystal.sf.net for more information.
tcpdump 3.7.2 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256312
tcpdump 3.7.2 has been released. As described in the ChangeLog, a handful of security problems have been addressed. In particular, iDEFENSE Security Advisory 02.27.03 (a vulnerability in the isakmp parser) has been addressed, and we recommend upgrading to this release. The MD5 of this release is: MD5 (tcpdump-3.7.2.tar.gz) = 1e44b59abba39a48e3680bc2cffb8a6a In addition, a PGP signature is available for download.
POPFile v0.18.1 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256338
POPFile is an email classification tool with a Naive Bayes classifier,
a POP3 proxy and a web interface. It runs on most platforms and with
most email clients. Release 0.18.1 fixes bugs found in the major 0.18
major release and has significant accessibility enhancements (Bobby AA
rating). INTRODUCTION v0.18.0 was a major update and inevitably some
bugs crept in that we didn't detect prior to shipping. Happily they
have been fixed, and even more happily the regression test suite now
has tests for many of them so that they will never reoccur. v0.18.1
fixes these bugs (see THE GORY DETAILS below for the gory details) and
also has two significant changes: the caching code associated with the
History page has been totally rewritten by me so that the History
barely slows down as the number of messages in the History increases;
the Windows installer can now configure Outlook and Outlook Express
Internet email accounts for you (and undo the changes if you uninstall
POPFile). POPFile v0.18.1 is also the first version where the UI meets
the Bobby AA rating for accessibility. This means that not only does
POPFile not discriminate against particular operating system, or
natural languages, or ways you want to sort your mail, but it is also
accessible by everyone regardless of the specific challenges they face.
(FOr more details on this drop by
http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/html/en/about.jsp) Aside: If you are
young, fit, and computer literate you might wonder why I bothered to
make Bobby-level accessibility a requirement. Early on in POPFile's
development a user told me that POPFile was a life changer. For him,
sorting mail had been an arduous, frustrating task. ESSENTIAL READING
IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM v0.17.x 1. BACK UP YOUR OLD INSTALLATION:
POPFile makes this really easy, just copy the entire POPFile directory
somewhere. You can then safely install POPFile v0.18.1 on top of your
current installation; I just think a back up is a sensible precaution.
2. YOUR HISTORY WILL CLEAR: I have changed the format of the History
files used in this version which means that the old History files will
not be read by POPFile and will in fact be deleted to save disk space.
If you need to do any reclassifications prior to installing v0.18.1 do
them! POPFile does NOT clear buckets, statistics or anything else on
install of this version, just the History files. To refresh the History
view click the History tab at any time; POPFile will check disk for new
messages. 3. IF YOU HAD BROKEN MAGNETS: I have added automatic update
of broken magnets. If you had a magnet like [foo] which POPFile
mistakenly changed to \[foo\] it should get magically fixed and start
working. 4. ACCURACY MIGHT DROP FOR A SHORT WHILE: because of some
changes made in the mail parser it is possible that you might see
accuracy drop initially and you may find yourself reclassifying a few
messages that used to work. This is unfortunate but necessary to make
POPFile even more accurate than before and v0.18.1 incorporates changes
that make POPFile's classification accuracy better; however old
corpuses might need a little retraining. DOWNLOADING You can obtain the
latest release of POPFile by visiting
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=63137 UPGRADING
Just install POPFile on top of the currently installed version. But did
you read the ESSENTIAL READING above first if you are upgrading from a
pre v0.18.0 version? FAQ zonk3r has spent a great deal of time on a
POPFile FAQ. Please check it out as it covers many questions that you
might have:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14421&group_id=6313
7 THE GORY DETAILS 1. Fixed a serious bug that could cause POPFile to
stop responding to POP3 and HTTP requests in the middle of downloading
mail when the mail message containing a MIME encoding that used certain
characters that were special in a Perl regular expression. (Reported by
ecarlseen, gilesjuk, panther757, szkaroly and fixed by sschinke) 2. The
skinning system continues to evole with kraelen, stanley_krute and
kinematics working madly to make everything skinnable, make everything
comply with HTML 4.01, CSS1 and Bobby AA guidelines. 3. The code that
handled the History cache that was meant to speed the loading of the
History pages and that I originally wrote was pretty lame and some
people (including me!) were ending up with 1000 message in the history
and the load time sucked. So I fixed it. The new cache will load ONCE
and ONLY ONCE per file and caches everything in memory. When new
messages are received they get loaded once per new message as well.
When a History page needs to be generated everything can be loaded from
the cache without doing any disk access which means that you should see
little difference between 10 messages and 1000. 4. To magnets would not
work correctly if the To line in the email header contained multiple
lines. (Reported by drunin and fixed by kinematics) 5. There was a
nasty problem where sometimes the statistics would not update correctly
which typically happened when you downloaded a large number of emails
in one batch. This was caused by the fact that we weren't flushing the
pipe between the child POP3 process and the parent regularly, this has
been modified so that this can never happen and statistics update in
real time even as mail is downloading. (Reported by burale, ct85711) 6.
The Windows installer has been much improved with the assistance of
xuesheng to make it reconfigure Outlook and Outlook Express for you and
include a number of new screens. 7. Quarantine had a couple of bugs
where it would show the incorrect date (reported by thejcab) and the
wrong to address (reported by dyoungmciwcom) under some circumtances.
8. When the From or Subject was encoded using base64 or quoted
printable weird things would show up in the History. (Reported by
goulduck and fixed by williamxp) 9. spf and I went back and forth
discussing line endings in the files saved to disk so that all the MSG
and CLS files could be loaded into an editor on any platform without
extraneous characters. 10. People who live on the Bleeding Edge were
getting update warnings from POPFile even though they were on the
latest version. This has been fixed on the update server. 11. Magnets
containing the & character could not be deleted. (Reported by the
infamous stanley_krute and fixed by helphand) 12. There was a bug
associateds with invisible ink detection that could cause POPFile's
HTML engine to think invisible ink was in use when a font tag spanned a
table. (Reported by mfichtner) 13. If POPFile didn't exit gracefully
then statistics were not being saved to disk and would not be up to
date. (Reported by daemon72) 14. The Shutdown page had no CSS because
POPFile was shutdown, we now have a simple SSI solution just for the
shutdown page. (Fix and report by helphand) 15. There was a problem
with Subject Line Modification where if it was turned off every subject
line got an extra space in it. (Reported by and fixed by helphand) 16.
There was a bug where you couldn't look up words that had # in them.
(Reported by adammc and fixed by helphand) 17. Viewing base64 encoded
messages in the History resulted in little useful output. (Reported by
biljir and fixed by pkarlin) 18. sschinke whipped up a new -archive
option that causes message removed from the History to get saved away
on disk. 19. sschinke made POPFile behave better when a POP3 server
suddenly stops responding in the middle of a conversation. DONATIONS
Thank you to everyone who has clicked the Donate! button and donated
their hard earned cash to me in support of POPFile. Thank you also to
the people who have contributed patches, feature requests and bug

First release of FreeDOS 32
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256255
The first release of FreeDOS 32 is finally available through the SourceForge.net download area. FreeDOS 32 is an operating system under development which aims to extend the DOS concepts to work in a 32 bit environment natively. The release is named 0.0.1 (unstable), and includes a floppy image for testing (with GNU GRUB, FD32 kernel and drivers, and a COMMAND.COM replacement) and a package for sources, based on the latest CVS.
netrik release: 1.3.0 (alpha)
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=255645
Netrik is a fairly complete text-based web browser; it is useful both
for browsing local documentation and web sites. After another longer
pause, a new version of netrik is now out. There is a fairly simple,
but very convenient new feature: If you go back to a page from history
(or reload the current one), the link which was active when leaving the
page is not only reactivated when it's still in the same place, but
also if the page is somewhat different than it was. This is especially
useful when reading newstickers or other dynamic pages. But even
changing ads can cause layout changes, so this can also help with
otherwise static pages.

[0]Matey-O writes "I just purchased a Linksys firewall/switch router
(WAP54g) and two of their 802.11g cards for home use. Like MANY things
linux, I found out after the fact that Linksys' 54g products use a
different chipset (broadcom) rather than the intersil Prism chipsets of
their linux supported 11b products. So my _main_ question is: does
anybody know if/when the broadcom chipset will be supported? Google
wasn't very helpful, it came up with an online petition to another
Broadcom product, but neither Broadcom, not Linksys plan support for
linux soon. My secondary question is: Just where does one go to get
info on 'cutting edge' linux development? I've used Linux off and on
for years, but never needed to see what was going on this deep into the
kernel, nor do I know where to look to see if any development is
occurring for this chipset. (meanwhile, RH8 is dormant on the laptop as
the XP support is adequate.)"

An anonymous reader asks: "Several years ago, I saw several manufacturers that sold LCD displays that slid out of the 5-1/4" bay, flipped down, and allowed you to have a minimal monitor that stored in the case. Since it slid out and flipped down, that meant it easily fit into 1U and 2U rack mounted hardware. Now that I'm about to get charged beacoup bucks for having a monitor at the CoLo where I have my servers, I'm looking for something like this again. (SSH doesn't help with hardware and BIOS settings.)" Read on for some details on what he's looking for -- you may be after the same thing (or better yet, have such screens to sell).

cgi-exec 1.2.2
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114831/
cgi-exec preprocesses data from an HTML form and redirects the data to a CGI script specified in a database located next to cgi-exec. It acquires the input from the browser, regardless of method; decodes the input into plain text; places that input into environmental variables corresponding to the fieldnames designated in the HTML form; searches a database to determine the name of the script to be executed to process the form data; spawns the script, after appropriate headers are emitted; and prints out footers after the return of the script. The environment is protected by disallowing the overwriting of existing variables.
CuteSITE CMS 1.0

dmidecode 2.0
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114813/
Dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computer's DMI (some say SMBIOS) table contents in a human-readable format. It was first written by Alan Cox and is now being maintained by Jean Delvare. Part of its code can be found in the Linux kernel, because DMI data may be used to enable or disable specific portions of code depending on the hardware vendor. Thus, dmidecode is mainly used to detect system "signatures" and add them to the kernel source code when needed.
