superseriousstats is a small and efficient program for creating a Web page with statistics from various types of IRC logs. It keeps track of its parse history and only processes new activity before storing any accumulated data in a MySQL database.

Release Notes: A small bug in the ordering of users in the Most Active People tables was fixed. The Most Mentioned Nicks table was changed to now select from all nicks in the database. The Most Chatty Bots table was added. A bug where Alltime Activity was off by one day was fixed. Maintenance and nicklinker classes now handle empty MySQL resultsets better. A debug option was added to the user.php page.

07 Nov 18:11 gnome-run-dialog 1.7.0

gnome-run-dialog uses the same history as GNOME's one, but sorts it alphabetically. It also allows you to run a command as root, or in a terminal, or both. You can also clear the history or choose a file as an argument for the application. As soon as you start typing in the textentry, a completion will be shown, which shows every matching application in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, which you can then select. It also allows you to pass environment variables to your application.

Release Notes: The code was moved from libglade to gtkbuilder. A bug which prevented running an application as root was fixed. The configure script was updated to version 7.9. The subprocess module is used instead of os.system.

Release Notes: New plugins were added for Git and Joomla. The feeds for the "recent changes" of new projects are aggregated. KForge now supports using Git, Subversion, and Mercurial services with Trac services. A new installer and improved install guide were added, with support for running KForge in an isolated virtual Python environment. Special character support has been fixed. KForge is now compatible with all recent stable versions of its dependencies (django <= 1.1, sqlobject <= 0.12.0). Performance has been greatly improved. Error handling has been enhanced.

Vendetta Online is a multi-platform 3D space-combat MMO for Windows, Mac, Linux/32 and Linux/64. The game permits players to interact in a vast online galaxy; fighting, trading, and mining their way to success. A "twitch" type real-time combat model makes true player skill the deciding factor instead of character advancement. Massive capital-ship battles shake the foundations of the major nations at war, while others struggle to push back the encroachment of the AI "Hives". A no-strings free trial is available.

Release Notes: New characters can now be mentored until they reach level 3 in a license instead of level 2. Convoy capships can carry cargo. A new optimized server-side collision mesh is used for Queen bots. A bug that caused sectors not to start up properly under certain circumstances was fixed.

Release Notes: Block drop shadow is now enabled by default. Swedish and French translations were added and translation-independent chart IDs are now used. This will create new charts for all play modes but old ones are kept in the file and can therefore be restored manually.

It is based on parts of PuTTY by Simon Tatham and provides xterm-compatible terminal emulation, but does not require an X server. Its features include a simple options dialog, Unicode support, fullscreen mode, drag & drop, and window transparency.

Release Notes: A new transparency option turns the window into a seamless sheet of "Aero glass". The clicks-place-cursor feature now works for double-width characters, and new control sequences allow you to query or set the font size and character set.

07 Nov 08:31 ModSecurity 2.5.11

ModSecurity is an intrusion detection and prevention engine for Web applications (sometimes called a Web application firewall). Operating embedded or as part of an Apache reverse proxy, it increases Web application security, protecting Web applications from known and unknown attacks. It is flexible and easy to configure. It monitors HTTP traffic (including POST payloads), detects or prevents attacks, enhances logging, performs anti-evasion, and allows administrators to create custom rules to suit their specific needs. It excels in HTTP traffic monitoring and just-in-time vulnerability patching.

Release Notes: This release fixes a multipart parsing issue that has the potential to allow bypassing the rules engine. This bypass can be avoided via some simple rules, however. Other changes include a rules update (CRS 2.0.3) and some minor cleanup in build, mlogc, persistence, and the output filter ordering.

07 Nov 01:24 DarkIce 0.20

DarkIce is a live audio streamer. It records audio from an audio interface (e.g. a sound card), encodes it, and sends it to a streaming server. DarkIce can record from OSS audio devices, ALSA audio devices, Solaris audio interfaces, and Jack sources. DarkIce can encode into MP3, MP2, Ogg Vorbis, and AAC formats, and can send the encoded stream to ShoutCast, IceCast 1.3.x and 2.x, and the Darwin Streaming Server.

Release Notes: This release adds AAC HEv2 encoding support (the branch darkice-aacp has been merged) through libaacplus. The configure script recognizes Ogg Vorbis shared objects now, not just static libraries. There is a bugfix enabling JACK source compilation on Debian Lenny.

07 Nov 01:18 Munin 1.4.0-alpha

Munin is a system to gather and graph all sorts of information. You can install a node on the various machines in your network, as well as on a central server. The nodes will know how to extract various kinds of information, such as load average and bandwidth usage, and will wait for the server to request these values. The output is in HTML format. The server can optionally send notifications if any of the values move outside of a specified range (and when they move back into it).

Release Notes: This is the first stable release in a long time. Changes from the 1.2 series include scalable SNMP plugins (Munin is now an MRTG killer), SSL support, many new plugins, many bugfixes, and many other new features.
