OpenSymphony SiteMesh 1.4.1
by Joe Walnes - Tuesday, March 12th 2002 07:43 EST

About: SiteMesh was built upon the Java Servlet 2.3 API.

It is ideally suited for Java based sites (particularly JSP) but can be dropped into any existing site that uses a Servlet engine including static, CGI, PHP, and ColdFusion generated pages.

Changes: Full support for WebLogic 6.1/7.0 and Jetty 4 was added, as were minor bugfixes and performance enhancements.

SQLite 2.4.0
by D. Richard Hipp - Tuesday, March 12th 2002 07:18 EST

About: SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL database engine. A large subset of SQL92 is supported. A complete database is stored in a single disk file. The API is designed for convenience and ease of use. Applications that link against SQLite can enjoy the power and flexiblity of an SQL database without the administrative hassles of supporting a separate database server. Because it omits the client-server interaction overhead and writes directly to disk, SQLite is also faster than the big database servers for most operations. In addition to the C library, the SQLite distribution includes a command-line tool for interacting with SQLite databases and SQLite bindings for Tcl/Tk.

Changes: Support was added for views, subqueries in the FROM clause of a SELECT, user-defined functions written in C, and several new built-in functions. The library is now significantly faster. Tighter coding has reduced the size of the binary image by 15% to under 200KB.

Remote Access Session 0.7
by Angel Ramos - Tuesday, March 12th 2002 04:49 EST

About: Remote Access Session is a security tool to analyze the integrity of systems. The program tries to gain access to a system using the most advanced techniques of remote intrusion. It can either work in normal mode (which is fast) or hard mode (which is more intensive). There is a big difference between Remote Access Session and other remote security audit tools. If Remote Access Session finds a remote vulnerability that gives user account or root, it will try to exploit it and it will return a shell. This allows a network administrator to discard false positives regarding remote vulnerabilities. It also includes all of the information from service banners in its output. It performs vendor and version detection on Web servers and other common servers, and also attempts remote OS identification.

Changes: Ports to to BSD and Solaris were added, as was a network scanning mode. The performance of remote_attack_module.c was enhanced. Some exploits were fixed during the porting process.

About: mpg321 is a Free clone of mpg123, a command-line MP3 player. It is designed to be a drop-in replacement for mpg123, and therefore its interface has been designed around that of mpg123, without using any of its code. mpg321 has been designed for use with frontends such as gqmpeg, although it is just as useful on the command-line. Unlike mpg123, it supports ESD and ALSA output without recompiling, and it does all MP3 decoding with only fixed-point math by using the mad MPEG audio decoder library.

Changes: Shoutcast support, ID3 tag support, better network support, a fix for the bug that caused gtoaster to break with mpg321, and other bugfixes were added.

Wine 20020310
by JNewman - Tuesday, March 12th 2002 01:49 EST

About: Wine Is Not an Emulator. It is an alternative implementation of the Windows 3.x and Win32 APIs. Wine provides both a development toolkit (Winelib) for porting legacy Windows sources to Unix and a program loader, allowing unmodified Windows 3.1/95/NT binaries to run under Intel Unixes. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft-Free code, but it can optionally use native system DLLs if they are available.

Changes: This release is identical to the previous one (release 20020228), except that the license has changed. Wine is now distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
