validate business / commercial software for mac

CheckMate 1.0b1 is a product like a preference pane for MacOS X 10.1 or higher to generate and compare secure MD5 checksums of critical files. This can be used to detect whether these files have been altered by viruses, root kits, trojan horses, or other possibly malicious programs. Checksum validation can be run manually from inside the preference pane, and/or scheduled to run hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or each time you restart.

If the validation process finds any files whose checksums don't match the values stored, several notification options can be triggered, including a popup dialog and email. In addition to the default list of files that are included for validation, you can easily add and remove additional files that you wish to validate.

You can also export the list of file checksums to a file to be stored somewhere other than the computer it was made on (such as on your iDisk). You can later load this externally-stored file back into the preferences panel to verify that the checksums themselves haven't been altered.

NOTE: The choice of files that are checked by default was derived by examining a number of other file system checksumming (or tripwire-type) systems on other UNIX-like platforms. If you believe that there are other OSX-specific files that should get checked for malicious alteration, please send me your suggestions for possible inclusion.

XML Nanny 3.0 beta 1 is regarded as a potential and easy to use developer tool that provides an Aqua interface for checking XHTML and XML documents for Well-Formedness and Validity either locally or across the network.

XML Nanny is the perfect tool for the web author who cares! Checking your XHTML document's validity either locally or remotely is a snap, and XML Nanny's detailed error messages let you know about those embarrassing validation errors so you can debug them immediately.

XML Nanny cares for your XHTML documents in places the W3C web-based validation service can't reach... Suppose you are developing a standards-based web site or application on your local web server or behind a firewall. The W3C validator can't reach your document to validate it. XML Nanny can.

PoeteX 1.3.b3 is specifically designed to manage educational scheduling and generation of printable timetables. On the one hand you'll organize groups of student into an inclusion hierarchy and associate to them a course plan required to validate a given diploma. You'll also define various intervenors (say teachers) and physical resource like building and classrooms.

On the other hand, PoeteX provides an interactive timetable builder that let you organize and control the consistency of groups, intervenors and rooms plannings providing advance checking of availability rules and interferences.

Requirements:

• Mac OSX 10.4 or later
• G4 1Ghz+ / G5 / Intel
  

upCast RT 7.1.3 is one of the most comprehensive tools which can enable you to use Microsoft Word as an authoring application for XML documents.

Take advantage of the widespread availability and familiar user interface of Word or any other RTF savvy office application for structured document authoring. upCast offers a cost-effective way to reuse existing tools for gaining all the benefits of a standardized markup language: XML.

Major Features:

1. Import formats
   • RTF documents conforming to the RTF specification 1.8 (including style info)
   • Word binary documents (using WordLink; only when running on Windows platform with Word installed)
   • Any well-formed XML document (no style info)
2. Processing features
   • Run Upcast Processing Language (UPL) code on documents
   • Transform documents using XSLT (XSLT 1: Xalan, XSLT 2: Saxon-B)
   • Integrate external tools via commandline call
   • Create complex, nested groupings using UPL and the Grouper module
   • Create markup based on regular expressions, even across element boundaries
   • Create markup based on style information
   • Validate against XML DTD, XML Schema and Relax NG
   • In-place transformations, attach custom data to any node
   • List detection heuristics, supporting nested lists
   • Create sub-processing pipelines
   • Perform detailed logging, handle processing errors
   • Sophisticated handling of embedded and referenced images
3. Export formats
   • XML (upCast DTD)
   • XML (internal tree format)
   • RTF (Version 1.6)
   • CSS
4. Interfaces
   • GUI based on Swing
   • Commandline
   • Java API
     

Enhancements:

• New Features
• • UPL: New function set-var() to be able to set variables with dynamically calculated names
  • UPL: New function parse-numbering() to convert a (possibly multi-level) numbering string like "(iv)" or "I-A-3.d)" into a list of integers indicating the number index of each level like {4} or {1,1,3,4}
  • RTF Exporter: new option to specify handling of missing images or images in an unsupported or unrecognized format
• Changes & Improvements
• • Documentation: markup-regex(): Add notice that with a repeating group, only the last instance is handled by markup-regex() as described in javadoc for java.util.regex.Pattern.
  • Documentation: markup-regex(): Add example for parsing out heading numbers by levels.
  • Documentation: markup-regex(): Add example for custom-replace function.
  • When log file path is "-", the console logger is used. You can therefore request output to the console (instead of to a file) by specifying "-Dde.infinityloop.application.logfile=-" on invoking Java.
  • You can now set specifically configured logging filter on the external logger. This can be done programmatically via the Java API or use the system property de.infinityloop.logfilterspec for testing within the GUI.
  • Completely revamped logging filter configuration in the UI. This includes modules, pipelines, preferences and Log Window. In each of these places, you now can specify a fully customizable log filter spec string. This required a change of the pipeline storage format to V4. Format converters from earlier pipeline versions have been implemented and work silently in the background on loading a pipeline file. The UI has changed to an editable combo box with the plain log levels available as pre-defined choices. However, you can write into the edit field and set up any filter spec you like. For syntax, see documentation.
  • Log Window was line-wrapping, which is not desirable. Now, a horizontal scroll bar is shown as needed.
• Fixes
• • Re-setting the WordLink executable path dynamically during program execution was not picked up by the RTF Exporter
  • RunPipeline did not work at all times
  • several corrections in the documentation
  • Pipeline Settings > License: Alt modifier did not work to force relative path
  • Documentation generated by the pipeline doc generator did not warn on missing self-containedness when license setting was "inherit"
  • Calling replace-with-text() does not work on a last sibling node in that the text to replace it with was not inserted, although the node to replace was deleted.
  • UPL: fixed bug in checking signatures of functions with variable argument lists
  • Exporting Ant source or Java source did not report any errors during that op, but showed "successful" message instead.
  • Log window: Disable filter entry field when showing log from file where filtering is not possible

Requirements:

• Java 5 runtime environment or later
• 512 MB of free RAM (recommended)
• Environment compatible and running with Xerces 2.9 or later (Xerces 2.9.1 is delivered with upCast binary)
