Web-publisher designed for large-scale Web sites

Krang is an Open Source web-publisher / content-management system designed for large-scale magazine-style Web sites. It is a 100% Perl application using Apache/mod_perl and MySQL, as well as numerous CPAN modules. It provides a powerful and easy to use story and media editing environment for magazine editors, as well as a complete template development environment for web designers. On the back-end, Perl programmers can customize Krang to control the data entered in the story editor, and add code to drive the templates to build output.

 

This release adds support for Gentoo Linux, Fedora Core, and FreeBSD. Apache and mod_perl are updated to their latest releases. Numerous bugs are fixed and the documentation is improved. This release allows you to delete the ‘admin’ account. The permissions system is applied throughout the UI. The publish_check() routine works again, after being left behind in the scheduler rewrite. Numerous bugs were exterminated. Upgrades can now be re-run even if they failed partway through previously.

 

Large KDS files now load much faster. Many bugs are now fixed. Krang Data Set (KDS) files may now include any number of Media objects (the previous limit was 32,000). The new DBHost option allows MySQL to run on a separate machine. Category templates can now be turned off per story type. Several List and Story searches are now much faster. This release has some minor feature enhancements to the publish process, and some bugfixes that will result in greatly improved publish times from the command line publish utilities.

PHP WikiWikiWeb clone for Web site management

PmWiki is a WikiWikiWeb clone that is primarily designed as a tool to support easy, collaborative authoring and maintenance of Web sites. This release enhancemed the [[include:]] markup to allow for parts of another page, delimited by anchors and/or line numbers, to be included into the current page. Previously it would always include the full contents of another page into the current page.

 

This release replaces the call to an external patch utility with a function written entirely in PHP. It also enables the [[include:]] markup within sidebar pages, and allows local customization of group header and footer pages used in printed versions of a page. This release lets authors provide one-line summaries of any edits they make to pages. It also provides additional markup sequences for displaying code, and improvements to the external pmwe (pmwikieditor) script. This version added “WikiFarms”, a method for running multiple independent wikis (“fields”) on a system from a single installation.

 

Each field in a WikiFarm can have its own URL, set of pages, WikiGroups, local customizations, and uploads, and each field can be created, owned, and administered from an account other than the one holding the PmWiki farm installation. The farm administrator can provide farm-wide customizations, as well as manage software upgrades for all fields within the farm. No substantial changes were introduced in this release, and upgrades should be seamless. Page history can now be password-protected, and the ability to use multiple question marks in URL query strings was added.

A firewall which features packet filtering

Astaro Security Linux provides firewalling, VPNs, spam, virus, and surf protection in an all-in-one network security gateway.

The software is built on an embedded, especially hardened Linux distribution. The WebAdmin tool and Up2Date service make it easy to install, manage and update all six security applications. This version includes virus protection for HTTP, intrusion protection, L2PT VPN-support, ISP-uplink failover, spam protection for SMTP and POP3, SMP support, and stateful failover functionality in high availability installations.

 

Many small improvements were also made. This release improves speed, downloads, and stability of the HTTP Proxy and the QoS packet classification. It includes fixes for accounting not working properly, traffic on VLAN interfaces not being reported, SMTP messages, the spam header showing up in the email body, pattern Up2date not possible even with a valid license, IPS license being improperly checked, the POP3 proxy blocking all messages, the SNMP daemon consuming too much CPU, the authentication page possibly being blank, and PPTP assigning the same IP address to multiple clients.

A graphical VRML97 editor and animation tool

VRML97 (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) is the ISO standard for displaying 3D data over the web via browserplugins. It has support for animation, realtime interaction and multimedia (image, movie, sound). Dune can read VRML97 files, display and let the user change the scenegraph/fields, and load and store x3d (next generation VRML xml format) files if configured to work with the nist.gov x3d translators.

 

It also has support for stereoscopic view via “quadbuffer”-capable stereo visuals. Usage of 6D devices makes now sense if you clicked to a Transform node at the first level of scenegraph. The Navigation icon can be used with mouse input. Colorcircle is accelerated. This release works on Mac OS X. This port is based on X11/glX/XFree86, and requires fink. With the current XFree86 4.2, the 3D performance of OpenGL/Mesa3D is very slow. A G3 Mac typically delivers 3 frames per second when running white_dune. A bug in which 6D inputdevice input on Transform node only made sense for limited levels of the scenegraph was fixed.

 

Dune can now be configured to use Barts black & white icons. The documentation was updated. Support for making RPM package files on Mandrake Linux was added. A bugfix concerning scale operations with 3D input devices was made. This release adds Aaron Crams/SAND dune support for the DevIL library. When DevIL is installed, white_dune can load more texture image formats, such as TIFF, RGB, and BMP (in addition to the JPEG, PNG, and GIF required by the VRML97 standard.)

GUI-based DVD authoring software

Varsha is GUI-based, drag-and-drop DVD authoring software. It uses tools such as dvdauthor, mkisofs, and dvd+rw-tools to perform various things behind the scenes. It can make simple static menus right now. It will be able to handle dynamic menus in future. A slideshow feature was added. You can drag-and-drop your digital camera pictures and create slideshow DVDs that are playable on home DVD players.

 

You can even have multiple slideshows and have a menu to choose which one to play. Menus work now. A white background problem was rectified. The “menu_11.mpeg not accessible” problem was fixed. Menu color updates were made. Colors are still fixed for now, but they look a little better. The default values for UI sizes and divider locations were set. A Motion Menu feature has been added. spumux processing while generating menus has been sped up, and there is some cleanup. This release adds context menus for Menu, Title, SlideShow, etc. The “Divider on Menu” editor stays visible now instead of locking to one side.

 

A “Validates” file is provided for video background menus. Motion menus are present from 0.63. This release fixes the duplicate “Properties” menu item in the popup associated with MenuItem, fixes the “last character not updating” problem in the menu item editor GUI, adds a button for AutoArrange of menu items (not yet enabled in the code), and fixes the NullPointerException which occurred when the right button was clicked on an empty tree. The directory tree is now sorted.

Web-based reservation system

PhpScheduleIt is a Web-based reservation system which allows users to register and then place reservations on any kind of resources, such as conference rooms, machines, or computers. The administrative side allows complete control over user permissions, resource data, reservation data, and is completely configurable. Scheduler time intervals can now be customized from the config file. Reservation minimum and maximum time limits can be set on a per-resource basis.

 

The scheduler GUI has changed, eliminating the textual “Edit” and “View” links, and replacing them with interactive colored cell links. The “Position” and “Institution” registration fields can be customized in the config file. “Auto-assign” was added to give the administrator the choice to give all users permission on all resources when they register and as new resources are added. An Auth class bug has been fixed. Users can be searched on from the Manage Users admin tool, and can be browsed by last name.

 

Recurring reservations can be modified or deleted as a group. The recurring reservation code has been revised and is much faster. This release focuses on adding blackout times, reservation summaries, multiple schedule support, advanced recurring reservation support, and a few other minor feature additions. This release fixed all bugs found since the initial 1.0.0 release. These bugs were both security and functionality related, and all users are encouraged to upgrade.
