Siege 3.0.1

Tue, 05/14/2013 - 21:57
Siege is a regression test and benchmark utility. It can stress test a single URL with a user defined number of simulated users, or it can read many URLs into memory and stress them simultaneously. The program reports the total number of hits recorded, bytes transferred, response time, concurrency, and return status. Siege supports HTTP/1.0 and 1.1 protocols, GET and POST directives, cookies, transaction logging, and basic authentication. Its features are configurable on a per user basis.

Release Notes: This release provides a new method for looping through a URLs file. Each client now begins at a different location in the file. It also provides support for long URLs and POST data and includes several bugfixes and documentation updates.

MoSSHe 13.5.14

Tue, 05/14/2013 - 17:55
MoSShE (MOnitoring in Simple SHell Environment) is a simple, lightweight (both in size and system requirements) server monitoring package designed for secure and in-depth monitoring of a handful of typical/critical Internet systems. It supports email alerts and SLA monitoring out of the box, and whatever you can script. The system is programmed in plain (Bourne) SH, and made to be compatible with BASH and Busybox so it can easily be deployed on embedded systems. Monitoring is designed to be distributed over multiple systems, usually running locally. As no parameters are accepted from the outside, checks cannot be tampered or misused from outside. The system is designed to allow decentralized checks and evaluation as well as classical agent-based checks with centralized data accumulation. Agent data is transferred via HTTP, so available Web servers can be co-used for agent data transfer. Each agent creates simple (static) HTML pages with full and condensed status reports on each system, allowing simple local checks.

Release Notes: This release adds VSERVER load check + graph generation on the client side using HTML5-JavaScript (also fixes broken AVG graph generation and is less CPU-intensive on the server). It corrects WWWDIR-handling (now using a variable instead of a fixed value), and fixes a missing SERVER headline in group entry. CheckVserverUp/Down is now listed under the vserver name instead of the host server name. ReapPassive is now listed under the reaped name instead of the host server name. HTML section identification is independent of time.

Stabie Rand Editor V10

Tue, 05/14/2013 - 16:27
Stabie Rand Editor is a reimplementation of the RAND text editor, a full screen editor that was written in the 70s and had such advanced capabilities as multiple windows and rectangular cut and paste areas. Keyboard commands are hard-coded.

Release Notes: A bugfix when replacing a string, like abcd to abcde. A bugfix when searching for a word under the cursor when the window was shifted left. A new command "run" to run an external Unix program using the current line or marked lines as an input to the external program and then substitute the output of the external program for the current line or marked lines. Essentially, this allows an external program to act as a filter for a piece of the file. A complimentary command "unrun" was added to restore the input lines deleted by the run command.

Oddjob 1.3.0

Tue, 05/14/2013 - 15:17
Oddjob is a Java job scheduler and task automation framework. A GUI designer or XML are used to define a hierarchy of jobs. Sequential, parallel, and conditional execution (or combinations) allow for nearly any business process to be modelled. Oddjob can run on the desktop or on a server and uses JMX to control remote instances via an Explorer-style GUI. Basic Web-based monitoring is also available. It can be embedded in client code and is easily extensible via a simple API.

Release Notes: This release includes an improved For Each Job that supports a parallel run window and the ability to use Oddjob Designer on the nested configuration. Timer and Retry now allow the nextDue property to be set while the timer is running. A Grep Job has been added that can search files or any other input for text or a regular expression. Numerous bugfixes and small enhancements.

nut 18.9

Tue, 05/14/2013 - 15:14
nut is nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze your meals for nutrient composition. The database included is the latest USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. This database contains values for vitamins, minerals, fats, calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc., and includes the essential polyunsaturated fats, Omega-3 and Omega-6. Nutrient levels are expressed as a percentage of the Daily Value, the familiar standard of food labeling in the United States, but also can be fully customized. Foods can be added from recipes or food labels, and nutrient intake can be graphed. The program is completely menu-driven and there are no commands to learn.

Release Notes: The automatic portion control feature has been expanded to include calcium. By designating a food as the calcium food during meal planning, its quantity is automatically adjusted to provide the "Daily Value." This feature is valuable when meals habitually do not have sufficient calcium.

RedQueryBuilder 0.4.0

Tue, 05/14/2013 - 14:01
RedQueryBuilder fills the gap between a hand coded "quick search" and a full blown query language. A typical use is in an intranet Web application where experienced users need a quick ad-hoc way to find particular data. This means they don't have to use report frameworks or ask a techie. To use it in your app, you just need to drop in the JS, feed it the metadata for your database, then handle the change events to get the SQL and argument values.

Release Notes: This release supports "IN" using multiple select and speeds rendering.

pride 0.5.8

Tue, 05/14/2013 - 09:40
pride (Poor Richard's Independent anDroid Environment) combines medit, bash scripts, zenity, and the Android tools to create a light and coherent environment for Android development. It offers a fast and simple alternative to Eclipse while offering more control over creation, building, running, and releasing an app than the Android SDK. As far as code injection, pride is already more than Eclipse, without all the unnecessary "more" that Eclipse does.

Release Notes: Pride::Imports has been automated. You can place a "#" in front of any number of Java objects like "#Button" or "#AlertDialog.Builder". You can also have more than one on a line. F5 now refreshes a file. Imports are inserted just before the main class declaration and after existing imports.

deltasql 1.6.1

Tue, 05/14/2013 - 09:33
deltasql is a tool to synchronize databases with source code, which helps to keep database evolution under control. While developing mid-sized or big applications, developers make changes to the data model that go along with changes to the source code. From time to time, branches of source code are done to stabilize the code that will go to production. A sort of data model branch is also needed. deltasql provides a simple way to collect all scripts that change the data model and means to handle data model branches. The deltasql server runs on Apache and is backed by MySQL.

Release Notes: New features: a navigation bar on the left for faster switching between pages. Fixes: copy&paste works in Internet Explorer. Known Issues: the Copy&Paste link disappears after being clicked once. Documentation: one new FAQ entry on why deltasql is so different from commercial tools. The new Web page is part of the package in the web subfolder.
