Unique is a library for writing single instance application. If you launch a
single instance application twice, the second instance will either just quit
or will send a message to the running instance.
Unique makes it easy to write this kind of applications, by providing a base
class, taking care of all the IPC machinery needed to send messages to a
running instance, and also handling the startup notification side.
Unique aims to replace the BaconMessageConnection code that has been copied
by many projects and the code using Bonobo and D-Bus.
Libsx is a library of code that sits on top of and to the side of the
Athena widget set. Its purpose is to make writing X applications
*much* easier. To accomplish this, libsx encapsulates a large
portion of the uglier details that arise while programming in X and
it fills in some gaps that exist with the Athena Widget set (such as
a widget for drawing graphics); libsx tries to simplify the common
case down to a single function call with only a few arguments.
Metisse is an experimental X desktop with neat OpenGL features. It consists
of a virtual X server called Xmetisse, a special version of FVWM, and a FVWM
module FvwmCompositor.
Metisse was designed with two goals in mind. First, it should make it easy
for HCI researchers to design and implement innovative window management
techniques. Second, it should conform to existing standards and be robust
and efficient enough to be used on a daily basis, making a suitable platform
for the evaluation of the proposed techniques.
Kyoto Cabinet is a library of routines for managing a database. The
database is a simple data file containing records, each is a pair of a
key and a value. Every key and value is serial bytes with variable
length. Both binary data and character string can be used as a key and
a value. Each key must be unique within a database. There is neither
concept of data tables nor data types. Records are organized in hash
table or B+ tree.
Kyoto Cabinet runs very fast. For example, elapsed time to store one
million records is 0.9 seconds for hash database, and 1.1 seconds for
B+ tree database. Moreover, the size of database of Kyoto Cabinet is
very small. For example, overhead for a record is 16 bytes for hash
database, and 4 bytes for B+ tree database. Furthermore, scalability
of Kyoto Cabinet is great. The database size can be up to 8EB (9.22e18
bytes).
Kyoto Cabinet is written in the C++ language, and provided as API of
C++, C, Java, Python, Ruby, Perl, and Lua. Kyoto Cabinet is available
on platforms which have API conforming to C++03 with the TR1 library
extensions. Kyoto Cabinet is a free software licensed under the GNU
General Public License.
This package revolutionizes the maintenance of PEAR packages.
With a few parameters, the entire package.xml is automatically
updated with a listing of all files in a package.
Features include
- manages the new package.xml 2.0 format in PEAR 1.4.0
- can detect PHP and extension dependencies using PHP_CompatInfo
- reads in an existing package.xml file, and only changes the release/changelog
- a plugin system for retrieving files in a directory. Currently four plugins
exist, one for standard recursive directory content listing, one that
reads the CVS/Entries files and generates a file listing based on the contents
of a checked out CVS repository, one that reads Subversion entries files, and
one that queries a Perforce repository.
- incredibly flexible options for assigning install roles to files/directories
- ability to ignore any file based on a * ? wildcard-enabled string(s)
- ability to include only files that match a * ? wildcard-enabled string(s)
- ability to manage dependencies
- can output the package.xml in any directory, and read in the package.xml
file from any directory.
- can specify a different name for the package.xml file
Freenet6 is an IPv6 access service offered for free to the community.
This service enables thousands of people from all over the world
to experience the best solution for a smooth and incremental
deployment of IPv6. Freenet6 users can get IPv6 connectivity from
anywhere, including from behind any NAT device or from outside of
their home network.
On Freenet6, a single, permanent IPv6 address and a DNS name are
assigned to each user, making their PC reachable from anywhere on
the IPv6 internet. A full /48 prefix may also be assigned to a
router, enabling the distribution of IPv6 connectivity to an entire
network. Freenet 6 - Get Connected For Free!
Instead of a Web interface, which is usually offered by traditional
tunnel brokers, Freenet6 uses an innovative model based on a
client/server architecture. The Gateway6 Client is software that
usually runs on a PC and that implements the Tunnel Setup Protocol
(TSP). The Gateway6 Client is used to automatically negotiate a
configured tunnel between a PC or router and the Freenet6 tunnel
broker, making IPv6 easy to install and maintain. The Gateway6
Client source code is licensed under the GPL. A commercial license
is also available.
The Authen::PAAS distribution provides a Perl API for authenticating and
authorizing users of computing services. Its design is inspired by
existing pluggable authentication services such as PAM and Java's JAAS, so
people familiar with those two services should be comfortable with the
concepts in Authen::PAAS. At its heart, Authen::PAAS provides a login
service, with pluggable modules for performing different authentication
schemes. The pluggable framework enables the system administrator, rather
than the application developer to define what method is used to
authentication with a particular application.
One might ask, why not just use PAM directly via the existing Authen::PAM
Perl bindings. While this works well for applications which wish to
authenticate against real UNIX user accounts (eg FTP, Telnet, SSH), it is
not particularly well suited to applications with 'virtualized' user
accounts. For example, a web application may maintain a set of virtual
user accounts in a database, or a chat server, may maintain a set of user
accounts in a text configuration file. Since it merely delegates through
to the underlying C libraries, the Authen::PAM module does not provide a
convenient means to write new authentication schemes in Perl. Thus the
Authen::PAAS distribution provides a pure Perl API for authentication.
Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to
another, and a command-line tool that uses this library. It can read
markdown and (subsets of) HTML, reStructuredText, LaTeX, DocBook,
MediaWiki markup, TWiki markup, Haddock markup, OPML, Emacs Org-Mode,
txt2tags and Textile, and it can write markdown, reStructuredText,
XHTML, HTML 5, LaTeX, ConTeXt, DocBook, OPML, OpenDocument, ODT, Word
docx, RTF, MediaWiki, DokuWiki, Textile, groff man pages, plain text,
Emacs Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, Haddock markup, EPUB (v2 and v3),
FictionBook2, InDesign ICML, and several kinds of HTML/javascript slide
shows (S5, Slidy, Slideous, DZSlides, reveal.js).
Pandoc extends standard markdown syntax with footnotes, embedded LaTeX,
definition lists, tables, and other features. A compatibility mode is
provided for those who need a drop-in replacement for Markdown.pl.
In contrast to existing tools for converting markdown to HTML, which use
regex substitutions, pandoc has a modular design: it consists of a set
of readers, which parse text in a given format and produce a native
representation of the document, and a set of writers, which convert this
native representation into a target format. Thus, adding an input or
output format requires only adding a reader or writer.
Csound is a programming language designed and optimized for sound rendering and
signal processing. The language consists of over 450 opcodes - the operational
codes that the sound designer uses to build "instruments" or patches.
Although there are an increasing number of graphical "front-ends" for the
language, you typically design and modify your patches using a word processor.
Usually, you create two text files - a .orc (orchestra) file containing the
"instruments," and a .sco (score) file containing the "notes."
In Csound, the complexity of your patches is limited by your knowledge,
interest, and need, but never by the language itself. For instance, a 22,050
oscillator additive synthesizer with 1024 stage envelope generators on each is
merely a copy-and-paste operation. The same goes for a 1 million voice
granular texture!
Have you ever dreamed of sounds such as these? Well in Csound you can. And in
Csound these dreams can come true!
