GPlates 0.94
GPlates lends you the ability of using an interactive plate-tectonics visualisation program which enables interactive visualisation and manipulation of the plate-tectonic reconstructions of geological and paleo-geographic features through geological time. more>> GPlates 0.94 lends you the ability of using an interactive plate-tectonics visualisation program which enables interactive visualisation and manipulation of the plate-tectonic reconstructions of geological and paleo-geographic features through geological time.
Enhancements:
- The transition to the CMake build system has been completed. This new build system replaces both the Autoconf/Automake/Libtool-based build system for Linux and the project files for the MS Visual Studio compilers, in addition to enabling compilation on MacOS X.
- GPlates now compiles and runs on the three main desktop operating systems: Windows, Linux and MacOS X.
- It is now possible to manipulate geometries interactively, dragging vertices using the new Move Vertex tool. This tool can be used on both existing feature geometries, as well as geometries which are in the process of being digitised. When the tool has been selected, the selected geometry will be drawn in grey, while its vertices will be highlighted and draggable.
- Previously, a raster image would always be shown by GPlates to cover the whole globe, from -180 to +180 degrees longitude and -90 to +90 latitude. Its now possible to specify a surface extent of any longitude and latitude range for the raster, enabling rasters of a smaller size to be correctly sized and positioned.
- The Manage Feature Collections dialog offers the ability to reload a file from disk with a single click, as well as the ability to enable or disable a feature collection without unloading or reloading the file.
- It is now possible to save feature collections in GMT format, with a choice of header formats: PLATES4 line header; GPGIM feature properties; or a mixture of the two. Its also possible to export a digitised geometry in GMT format (it was already possible to export a digitised geometry in PLATES4 line-format) during the digitisation process, without needing to create a whole new feature.
- Shapefile attributes may now be edited in the Feature Properties dialog in the same way as native GPGIM property-values.
- The Task Panel can now be resized in the main window, enabling text fields to be widened in order to display longer lines of text.
- All the attributes in a Shapefile may additionally be viewed in a more compact tabular (spreadsheet-like) format, with one attribute per column.
- Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later.
Restoration 1.0 RC1
A platform for creating scalable web applications and network services using dynamic scripting languages and proven REST principles more>> A platform for creating scalable web applications and network services using dynamic scripting languages and proven REST principles
Your application can support thin clients (HTML) and rich clients (AJAX), with anything in between. You can also create pure REST services with no user interaction.
Languages supported are Python, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, Groovy and Velocity, and anything else supported by the Scripturian project.
A complete, ready-to-rumble platform is ready for you to download, for which the only requirement is Java 5. It includes plenty of example code, a scalable HTTP server, and robust logging facilities.
For Java developers, Restoration is also available as a standalone library, which you can embed in your application.
Main features:
- In addition to making it very easy to create REST resources (see demos), Restoration allows embedding scriptlets within HTML pages, similarly to PHP, JSP and ASP (see demos), with support for high-performance streaming and caching of results.
- You can see your changes happen on-the-fly without any compilation: Restoration picks up your edits and makes sure to update its cached code base. Development is quick, powerful and fun!
System requirements:
- Java 5 or later
KFDecorator 1.0
KFDecorator - Produce a wrapper object that modifies the behavior of an underlying base object more>>
This is extremely useful during the exploration and debugging stages of development. By building or modifying objects dynamically, its possible to avoid the compilation stage until you have a decent idea of what code youd like to implement.
PSU Blast Image Config 2.6.5
PSU Blast Image Config - Clone/restore OS X disk images, and more more>>
This tool is intended to automate the build process as much as possible. We use BIC here at PSU to do the initial install of the base OS and applications on all of our lab and kiosk Macs.
Main features:
- Configure and set the Open Firmware security, preventing unauthorized access via single (root) user mode or booting from external devices
- Set the date and time
- Restore a master disk image quickly to a Macs internal hard disk
- Configure the network settings on the restored disk (via ncutil):
IP Address : DHCP or Manual (Static)
Subnet Mask & Router
DNS Servers
Network Names (Computer and Local)
- Change the startup disk to the restored disk
- Extensible through pre- and post-restore scripts
- Specify default and autorun settings via a preference file.
Enhancements:
- FIXED: Now correctly supports Macs with dual on-board ethernet ports. NOTE: Only configures the network for the "Built-in Ethernet 1", port 1 on the case, and all other network interfaces are disabled (unless you enable the AirPort interface in the auto-run prefs - see below for more info on this new feature). Macs that have dual on-board ethernet includes the most recent Power Mac G5s with Dual 2.3 Ghz processors and the Mac Pro desktop. Ive only tested this on the dual 2.3 Ghz G5, so please let me know if you see failures when BIC 2.6.5 and ncutil 3.1.1. Do not use ncutil 3.1.2 due to previously mentioned issues on the main BIC home page. Thanks to Y. Flammer for reporting this issue.
- NEW: Under Mac OS X 10.4.7 or higher*, can now enable the AirPort network interface enabled by adding "ENABLE_AIRPORT=YES" to the auto-run preferences. *NOTE: This will ONLY work reliably when PSU BIC is running under Mac OS X 10.4.7, with ncutil version 3.1.1 installed, and the restored volume is ALSO at Mac OS X 10.4.7 or higher. There was a bug in Apples 10.4.6 networking code that ncutil relies on for the network interface names, so ncutil inherited the bug, and thus PSU BIC as well, when running under 10.4.6. Use Mac OS X 10.4.7 and it should work for you - if not, pleasesend me a bug report with the run log file. As time permits, Ill add a dialog too that prompts for enabling the AirPort card or not, but until then, just specify it in the auto run preferences.
- FIXED: Using new asr syntax of "restore" verb with 10.4.4 at later. Previously, when running PSU BIC 2.6b3 under Mac OS X 10.4 to 10.4.3 there would be an error during the restore process. Thanks to R. Booz for sending in the run log with this issue, and the Apple asr system engineer J. Kateley for reporting which version of Mac OS X 10.4 (10.4.4 and later!) started to include the restore verb for asr.
- FIXED: More robust blessing of the restored disk as a bootable device for Intel/EFI based Macs.
- NEW: Logging the version of Mac OS X that is installed on the restored drive. This can be useful for debugging issues with ncutil 3 configuring network preferences on a volume that is at a different version than the version of Mac OS X that PSU BIC and ncutil 3 ran under.
- FIXED: Updated some method names to prepare PSU BIC to be ready for compilation under REALbasic 2006 to create a Universal (PPC and Intel Native!) version of PSU BIC, which will be available very soon. This change should not affect anything for this version of BIC.
iTunes 3.0.0
iTunes 3 can organize your music with Playlists and to personalize your library. more>> With millions of copies in circulation according to Apple, iTunes is easily the most successful iApp to date. Because it was one of the first iApps introduced, Apple has had a long time to apply the necessary polish to make iTunes look good and work well. And it shows. iTunes has come a long way from that first release and is coming close to an "excellent" rating.
Like previous releases, iTunes 3 is more evolutionary than revolutionary, so dont expect any dramatic changes. Indeed, many people will probably feel that this is iTunes 2.5 at best. Nevertheless, iTunes started with a solid idea and there is nothing wrong with simply improving on that concept. In fact, iTunes is the currently the best MP3 player available for OS X.
The new main features in iTunes 3 are:
Smart playlists
Support for audio books from Audible.com
Sound check
Track ratings
New tags for play count, last-played date, and composer
Library consolidation, including compilation flag
Playlist import and export
Ability to join tracks<<less

gnoMint 1.0.0
Verification authority management made easy more>> Verification authority management made easy
gnoMint is an X.509 Certification Authority management tool. gnoMint allows any person to run a Certification Authority, creating certificates for any purpose: e-mail signing and/or crypting; TLS authentication through web, VPNs or other protocols; secured web-servers...
Its development was started due to the lack of a just-works CA software: creating a CA from zero, through open-source command-line utilities, was possible, but was unconfortable to remember all the neccessary parameters.
And you had to create a difficult configuration file. So here it is gnoMint, and it will help all network and systems administrators to deploy a Certification Authority very easily.
Main features:
- Creating all the infrastructure to keep and run a Certification Authority, saved in only one file.
- Create Certification Signing Requests, allowing to export them to PKCS#8 files, so they can be send to other CAs.
- Create X.509 certificates, with a usual set of subject-parameters.
- Export certificates and private keys to PEM files, so they can be used by external applications.
- For each CA, establish a set of policies for certificate generation.
- Import CSRs made by other applications
- Export PKCS#12 structures, so the certificates can be imported easily by web and mail clients.
- Revoke certificates, and generate the corresponding CRLs
- Allow the possibility of keeping the CA private key, or other private keys, in external files or devices (as USB drives)
- Allow the management of a whole hierarchy of CAs, with their respectives certificates.
- Import pre-existing Certification Authorities, with all their data.
- Allow an easy CA operation from command-line tools, for batch certificate creation, or integration with other utilities.
Enhancements
- Added a new full Russian translation, thanks to Aquanaut. Added Finnish translation.
- Other updated translations: Spanish, Slovak.
- Added forgotten crlgen function to gnomint-cli text-based interface.
- Fix compilation with GnuTLS 2.8.0.
- While creating a new certificate, the program now checks if new cert expiration date is after the CA expiration date. In that case, the program shows an info message and set the new cert expiration date to the CA expiration date.

Small and secure SSL-based mesh networking tool more>> Small and secure SSL-based mesh networking tool
CloudVPN is a multi-protocol mesh virtual network. Simply - CloudVPN is capable of transporting any reasonable packet protocol, for any application that needs to communicate.
Cloud nodes act as a meshing and transporting layer, and applications connect to them using a gate socket.
Such client applications include:
- Ethernet tunnel, that uses the cloud as one big virtual network, which, given the mesh properties, also proves to be efficient and secure; and gives CloudVPN the "classical VPN function".
- Secure chat client, using the same security adventages.
- Filesharing client (which really proposed itself as a bittorrent alternative)
- Optimized radio-like broadcasting client
- Whatever else you like.
Enhancements
- Full Win32 support was added with the TAP-Win32 package. Massive cleanup was done. The build system was migrated to autotools, which allows easy compiling on many platforms. Some... compilation fixes and one local socket improvement were made
Eclipse SDK 3.5
Eclipse SDK is designed as a useful open source software development project which aims at providing a robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, industry platform for the development of highly integrated tools. more>>
Eclipse SDK 3.5 is designed as a useful open source software development project which aims at providing a robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, industry platform for the development of highly integrated tools.
The Eclipse project is composed of three subprojects, Platform, Java development tools (JDT), and Plug-in development environment (PDE). The Eclipse Platform is an open extensible IDE for anything and yet nothing in particular. It allows tool builders to independently develop tools that integrate with other people's tools so seamlessly you can't tell where one tool ends and another starts.
The JDT project provides the tool plug-ins that implement a full-featured Java IDE supporting the development of any Java application, providing refactoring support, incremental compilation, smart editing etc. The JDT project allows Eclipse to be a development environment for itself. The PDE project provides the mechanisms that enable the community to build plug-ins for eclipse.
The Eclipse SDK includes the Eclipse Platform, Java development tools, and Plug-in Development Environment, including source and both user and programmer documentation.
