Internet
Printing
Software Development :: Libraries
About: CUPS provides a portable printing layer for Unix(r)-based operating
systems. It has been developed to promote a standard printing solution for
all Unix vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley
command line interfaces, and uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP")
as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon
(LPD) Server Message Block (SMB), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect)
protocols are also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network
printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing
options to support real world printing under UNIX. It includes an image
file RIP that supports printing of image files to non-PostScript printers.
A customized version of GNU Ghostscript 7.05 for CUPS called ESP
Ghostscript is available separately to support printing of PostScript
files within the CUPS driver framework. Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON,
HP, and OKIDATA printers are included that use these filters.
Changes: This is primarily a bugfix and performance tuning release and
includes fixes for 64-bit platforms, deadlock problems in the signal
handling code, PDF printing issues, Web interface issues, and various
operating system-specific issues. It also adds new CUPS API functions for
reading and writing files via HTTP, performing authentication, and
controlling the required PPD conformance level.

[015] - CWirc 1.3.0
by Pierre-Philippe Coupard
(http://freshmeat.net/users/pierrephilippecoupar/)
Friday, September 5th 2003 21:34
Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
Communications :: Ham Radio
About: CWirc is a plugin for the X-Chat IRC client to transmit raw Morse
code over the internet using IRC servers as reflectors. The transmitted
Morse code can be received in near real-time by other X-Chat clients with
the CWirc plugin. CWirc tries to emulate a standard amateur radio rig: it
sends and receives Morse over virtual channels, and it can listen to
multiple senders transmitting on the same channel. Morse code is keyed
locally using a straight or iambic key connected to a serial port, or
using the mouse buttons, and the sound is played through the sound card,
or through an external sounder.
Changes: This version added an adjustable QRM generator, signal strength
and sporadic-E propagation simulations, squelch, realistic sound mixing
with soft signal fade-out, and an extension of the CW frame format to
support grid square locations. Many minor corrections were made.

Communications :: Email :: Filters
Internet
Text Processing :: Filters
About: DSPAM is a server-side anti-spam agent for UNIX email servers. It
masquerades as the email server's local delivery agent and filters/learns
spam using a Bayesian statistical approach which provides an
administratively maintenance-free, self-learning anti-spam service. Each
email is broken down into its most interesting tokens, each assigned a
spam probability. All probabilities are then combined to produce a
statistical probability of spam. This approach, applied to a mature corpus
of email, has the potential to yield a 99.75% success rate with less than
a 0.03% chance of false positives.
Changes: A permissions-related security vulnerability has been fixed.
Potentially insecure functions are disabled unless
--enable-insecure-functions is explicitly used at configure time. The
locking mechanism has been reworked to support multiple dspam agents
sharing an NFS disk to function correctly. A minor quoted-printable
parsing bug has been fixed. Perl tools and CGIs have been recoded to adopt
--prefix information from configure. A bug in fixing "From" header
corruption in some implementations has been fixed. A minor miscalculation
in false positive reporting has been fixed.

Education
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Message Boards
About: H2O is a system that supports gathering people around ideas. In
addition to the traditional features of learning management systems, H2O
includes support for collaboration between projects through the sharing of
syllabus elements and through joint discussions between projects. It also
supports Rotisserie-structured discussions, which provide an alternative
to traditional online discussion boards by structuring the timing and flow
of discussions. It can be used as a traditional course management
platform, but it can also be used for more informal projects centered
around the exploration of a set of ideas, whether the project be a
conference, an ongoing public discussion, or a traditional academic
course.
Changes: Per-user discussion participation: project leaders can use the
participant preferences screen to manage which users can participate in
rotisserie discussions and message boards, respectively. Cross-project
message board discussions: message board threads now have an Invite
Similar Projects link that allows a project leader to invite another
project to participate in a given message board thread. Project
announcements: project leaders can email announcements to project
participants.

arrangements of, connections between, and views of information they find
most effective. Such personalization of information management will
dramatically improve your ability to find what you need when you need it.
Changes: This new release signifies an even more powerful, much more
optimized and much refined version of Haystack, with many new features to
make it even more ergonimic.

Friday, September 5th 2003 14:00
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Message Boards
About: The Distributed Library Project is a distributed library of
people's books and videos, an experiment in creating community and sharing
information. Users create accounts complete with bios and interest
enumerations, then list the books and videos that they own. Those users
are then free to browse the books that others have listed, sorted by
proximity, interest, and book commonality. If a book or video is
available, a user can check it out directly from the owner. There is an
eBay-style feedback system for managing trust--users who return books on
time get positive feedback, while users who damage books or return them
late get negative feedback. These points create an overall "score" that
lenders can use to judge the trustworthiness of a borrower. The system
also supports user reviews, ISBN lookups, and collaboritve filtering.
Changes: Full language templating support, French and German language
translations, subdirectory installation support, fixes for geolookup bugs,
reading lists maintain order, a 'remember me' login feature, ISBN lookup
retrieves editor reviews, interests update correctly, and minor bugfixes.
