Squirrel is a high level imperative/OO programming language, designed
to be a powerful scripting tool that fits in the size, memory bandwidth,
and real-time requirements of applications like games. However Squirrel
offers a wide range of features like dynamic typing, delegation, classes
& inheritance, higher order functions, generators, coroutines, tail
recursion, exception handling, automatic memory management, weak
references, etc.
Squirrel is inspired by languages like Python, Javascript and especially
Lua. The API is very similar and the table code is based on the Lua one.
Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern programming
language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional
runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to
applications and libraries written in C.
valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source
code. It's also planned to generate GIDL files when gobject-
introspection is ready.
tinypy is a minimalist implementation of python in 64k of code
it includes a whole heap of features:
* parser and bytecode compiler written in tinypy
* fully bootstrapped
* luaesque virtual machine with garbage collection written in C
it's "stackless" sans any "stackless" features
* cross-platform :) it runs under Windows / Linux / OS X
* a fairly decent subset of python
o classes and single inheritance
o functions with variable or keyword arguments
o strings, lists, dicts, numbers
o modules, list comprehensions
o exceptions with full traceback
o some builtins
* batteries not included -- yet
The amavis-logwatch(1) utility is an Amavisd-new log parser
that produces summaries, details, and statistics regarding
the operation of Amavisd-new (henceforth, simply called Amavis).
A key feature of amavis-logwatch is its ability to produce
a very wide range of reports with data grouped and sorted as
much as possible to reduce noise and highlight patterns. Brief
summary reports provide a quick overview of general Amavis
operations and message delivery, calling out warnings that
may require attention. Detailed reports provide easy to scan,
hierarchically-arranged and organized information, with as
much or little detail as desired.
Heirloom mailx (formerly known as "nail") is derived from Berkeley
Mail and provides the functionality of the System V and POSIX mailx
commands. Additional features include support for MIME, IMAP
(including caching and disconnected use), POP3, SMTP, S/MIME,
international character sets, maildir folders, message threading,
powerful search methods, scoring, and a Bayesian junk mail filter.
Mailx can be used as a mail batch language in nearly the same way as
it is used interactively. It can thus act as a mailbox filter, can
fetch mail from remote accounts, and can send files as attachments.
The OSSP lmtp2nntp program is an LMTP service for use in conjunction
with an MTA (like Sendmail), providing a reli- able real-time mail to
news gateway. Input messages get their headers slightly reformatted
to match Usenet news article format. The article is then posted or
feeded into a remote NNTP service (like INN). Delivery must take
place immediately or the transaction fails. OSSP lmtp2nntp relies
on the queuing capabilities of the MTA in order to provide a fully
reliable service. For this the program returns proper delivery status
notification which indi- cates successful completed action, persistent
transient failure or permanent failure.
"My Mailer" is an incarnation of a UNIX text-based mailer
designed to be an intermediate step between mail and pine.
Features:
MIME aware -- While this mailer does not implement a full set of
the MIME mail extensions, it should handle most MIME mail.
It also handles some Sun mail attachment formats.
Threaded messages -- Articles by default are threaded by subject.
This allows one to plow through huge mailing list discussions,
sometimes spanning weeks, with very little effort.
Automatic detection of a modified mail file, and the changes will
then be merged with the current message listing.
Automatically uncompresses and recompresses gzipped mailfiles
Searchable message listings, including search through message text
Email::Sender replaces the old and sometimes problematic Email::Send library,
which did a decent job at handling very simple email sending tasks, but was not
suitable for serious use, for a variety of reasons.
Most users will be able to use Email::Sender::Simple to send mail. Users with
more specific needs should look at the available Email::Sender::Transport
classes.
Documentation may be found in Email::Sender::Manual, and new users should start
with Email::Sender::Manual::QuickStart.
This module provides a very simple, very clean, very specific interface
to multiple Email mailers. The goal of this software is to be small
and simple, easy to use, and easy to extend.
Clawsker is an applet to edit Claws Mail's hidden preferences.
Claws Mail has a high number of configurable options and, in order to keep
the binary small and fast, some of these preferences which are not widely
used are not provided with a graphical interface for inspection and/or
modification.
Users wanting to edit such preferences had to face editing the configuration
text files directly, now it is possible with a convenient GTK2 interface using
Clawsker.
Other features:
* Handling of all hidden preferences
* Fully internationalized interface using gettext
* Detection of running Claws Mail
* Support for alternate configuration directories
This program is for any user who retrieves ftp files via
ftpmail or bitftp servers. It runs quietly in the background
and watches the user's mail directory. When the mail-
retrieved file has arrived in full, rftp puts the pieces
together in order and stores the tarball in a directory.
I wrote this several years ago when my only link to the
Arpanet was a uucp link. These days, most FreeBSD users
have a direct link to the net. For the dozens or hundreds
who don't this should be of use.
