Chameleon 0.6.2

admin — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 10:58:09 +0000

Chameleon is a free, easy-to-use and highly extensible blogging platform. With Chameleon, you can easily publish a wide range of different types of content, ranging from blog post to recipes, and from podcasts to photos.

Chameleon is built on top of Ruby on Rails.

Chameleon is all about that extensibility. Types are not the only way to personalize your blog, themes, for example, are another. Themes allow you to modify the lay-out of your blog completely to your personal preferences. With a bit of knowledge about HTML and CSS, you can create your own, unique design. If you don’t know HTML or CSS, you can of course always use one of the default themes, or one of those available on this site.

But the most powerful way to extensibility is probably through plugins. Plugins are little add-ons to the main Chameleon application, which allow little tweaks but also major features to be added to Chameleon. Themes, for example, may come with a default plugin, adding some functionality they depend on. Plugins are written in plain Ruby code, so everyone who knows his way around in Ruby can write new plugins. They’re easy to hook into the main application, and their functionality will be immediately viewable. Now, before you get all excited about this, let’s get things straight: not all of this has been implemented yet.

Here are some key features of “Chameleon”:

· A complete admin center to manage your site.
· The ability to write posts of different types.
· Metadata for posts, depending on the post type.
· Different templates for each post type.
· Support for Textile formatting.
· The tagging of posts.
· Built-in search.
· Commenting on blog posts.
· Spam check on comments using Akismet.
· RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds.
· Themes on the front-end, allowing you to modify the design of your blog completely.

Requirements:

· MySQL
· Ruby

INSTALLATION:

Copy the file config/database.example.yml to config/database.yml, and
update the “development” and “production” parts of it to match your database settings (you can enter the same credentials in the two sections). So, this becomes:

development:

adapter: mysql # Change this to the sort of database you’ll be using, for example “mysql” or “postgresql”.
database: < database_name > # Change this to the name of the database Chameleon should use.
username: < username > # Your database username comes here.
password: < password > # Your database password comes here.
host: localhost # Change this to the host name where the database will run. Most of the time, this will be “localhost”.
[...]
production: # Copy the development section to here, to keep the same settings.
adapter: mysql
database: < database_name >
username: < username >
password: < password >
host: localhost

Now, upload the complete directory to your server.

Next, we’ll set up the database. To do this, you need access to the command line. If your host supports SSH, you should normally have access to it, ask them how to do this if you don’t know. Once on the command line, run these commands:

To load the database schema into the database, run:
rake db:schema:load
Then, to set some default settings, a default user and a welcome post, run:
rake db:fixtures:load

Finally, all you need to do is run the application. Again, you may need to
contact your host on how to do this. If you’re running Chameleon locally, you can run “ruby script/server” in the command line to start the server, and if you then surf to http://0.0.0.0:3000 you’ll see you Chameleon installation. By surfing to http://0.0.0.0:3000/admin, you can log in with the default username “admin” and password “admin”, and you’ll get to the admin center. From there on, you’ll find your way easily.

Apache 2.2.9

admin — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 07:03:24 +0000

Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX and Windows NT.

The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.

Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April of 1996. The October 2004 Netcraft Web Server Survey found that more than 67% of the web sites on the Internet are using Apache, thus making it more widely used than all other web servers combined.

The Apache HTTP Server is a project of the Apache Software Foundation.

Here are some key features of “Apache2″:

Core Enhancements

Authn/Authz

· The bundled authentication and authorization modules have been refactored. There is a new authentication backend provider scheme which greatly eases the construction of new authentication backends.

Caching

· mod_cache, mod_disk_cache, and mod_mem_cache have undergone a lot of changes are now considered production-quality. htcacheclean has been introduced to cleanup mod_disk_cache setups.

Proxying

· The new mod_proxy_balancer module provides load balancing services for mod_proxy. The new mod_proxy_ajp module adds support for the Apache JServ Protocol version 1.3 used by Apache Tomcat.

Regular Expression Library Updated

· Version 5.0 of the Perl Compatible Regular Expression Library (PCRE) is now included.

Smart Filtering

· mod_filter introduces dynamic configuration to the output filter chain. It enables filters to be conditionally inserted, based on any Request or Response header or environment variable, and dispenses with the more problematic dependencies and ordering problems in the 2.0 architecture.

Large File Support

· httpd is now built with support for files larger than 2Gb on modern 32-bit Unix systems. Support for handling >2Gb request bodies has also been added.

Event MPM

· The event MPM uses a seperate thread to handle Keep Alive requests and accepting connections. Keep Alive requests have traditionally required httpd to dedicate a worker to handle it. This dedicated worker could not be used again until the Keep Alive timeout was reached.

SQL Database Support

· mod_dbd, together with the apr_dbd framework, brings direct SQL support to modules that need it. Supports connection pooling in threaded MPMs.

Module Enhancements

mod_authnz_ldap

· This module is a port of the 2.0 mod_auth_ldap module to the 2.2 Authn/Authz framework. New features include using LDAP attribute values and complicated search filters in the Require directive.

mod_info

· Added a new ?config argument which will show the configuration directives as parsed by Apache, including their file name and line number. The module also shows the order of all request hooks and additional build information, similar to httpd -V.

mod_ssl

· Added a support for RFC 2817, which allows connections to upgrade from clear text to TLS encryption.

Program Enhancements

httpd

· A new command line option -M has been added that lists all modules that are loaded based on the current configuration. Unlike the -l option, this list includes DSOs loaded via mod_so.

Module Developer Changes

APR 1.0 API

· Apache 2.2 uses the APR 1.0 API. All deprecated functions and symbols have been removed from APR and APR-Util. For details, see the APR Website.

Connection Error Logging

· A new function, ap_log_cerror has been added to log errors that occure with the client’s connection. When logged, the message includes the client IP address.

Test Configuration Hook Added

· A new hook, test_config has been added to aid modules that want to execute special code only when the user passes -t to httpd.

Set Threaded MPM’s Stacksize

· A new directive, ThreadStackSize has been added to set the stack size on all threaded MPMs. This is required for some third-party modules on platforms with small default thread stack size.

Protocol handling for output filters

· In the past, every filter has been responsible for ensuring that it generates the correct response headers where it affects them. Filters can now delegate common protocol management to mod_filter, using the ap_register_output_filter_protocol or ap_filter_protocol calls.

Monitor hook added

· Monitor hook enables modules to run regular/scheduled jobs in the parent (root) process.

Marauroa 2.3

admin — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 07:56:29 +0000

Marauroa is arianne’s content server.

Marauroa project is completely written in Java using a multithreaded server architecture with a UDP oriented network protocol, a MySQL based persistence engine and a flexible game system.

The game system is totally expandable and modifiable by game developers and is able to run Python scripts defining the game’s rules.

Marauroa is based on a design philosophy we called Action/Perception. Each turn a perception is send to the clients explaining what they currently perceive. Clients can ask the server to perform any action in their name using actions.

Marauroa is totally game agnostic and makes very little assumptions about what are you trying to do, allowing a great freedom to create any game type.

Here are some key features of “marauroa”:

· Java 1.4 compatible
· Persistent objects
· Transactional relational database support
· Delta and Delta-Delta Perceptions to reduce bandwidth usage
· Fully test case covered using Junit
· Turn based gameplay
· Nicely documented: Design and specifications available
· Based on a XP development model
· Follows KISS principle: Keep it simply stupid
· True Open Source Software: GNU/GPL

Marauroa is based on very simple principles:

· Clients communicate with the server, and vice-versa, using an UDP portable network protocol with reliability in mind to allow a stabler experience when online game lag occurs.
· You can develop an arianne client, using the arianne client framework, on any system that is able to compile C code.
· To play a game every player needs an account on the server that is identified by an username and a password.
· Players use their account to login into the server and then choose a ‘player’ stored under their account to play with. The server then checks the login information using the mySQL backend and loads the player into the game using the persistence engine.
· Players send actions to the server. The action system is totally open and has nothing hard-coded so you can edit it totally to your game style. The server sends at regular intervals, called turns, a perception to each player to inform them about the state of the game and any relevant state modifications. Marauroa’s perception system is based on the Delta^2 ideology: simply send what has changed.
· The server executes some code each turn in order to move the game status on. Using this hook it is simple to code triggers, timeouts, conditions and whatever kind of behavior you need.
· The server transparently and automatically stores players and game status modifications on the persistence engine, and also information decided by the game developer using their game definition scripts.
· The server side game rules can be written in Python to allow simple and rapid development without needing to recompile the rules engine and without having to know anything about Marauroa’s internals. Games rules can also be coded in Java.
· The server generates statistics of usage which are stored in a mySQL database (so you can later generate fancy statistics from them). Or in case you don’t require them, they can be disabled to save CPU cycles and disk space. Marauroa features a modular structure that means modules can be changed and disabled without affecting the operation of other modules.
· Both the server and clients are fully and wisely documented, with documentation about specification and design and not just API documentation.

What’s New in This Release:

· Fixed ConcurrentModificationException in database access code
· Fixed PyhtonRPWorld
· Fixed 10 minute player autosave
· Added method MarauroaRPZone.storeToDatabase()
· JDBCAccess execute now returns the update count if available
· Fixed a problem which occured in case an object was modified and added to a slot at the same time

Chronicle 2.1

admin — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 07:54:03 +0000

Chronicle software is a small and fast blog compiler, written in Perl with minimal dependencies.

What is a blog compiler? It is a simple piece of software which will convert a directory of text files into static tree of HTML and RSS files which can be published online as a full-featured blog complete with:

· Archives
· Tags
· RSS Feeds.

You can install it in seconds and be using it in minutes without having to install PHP, a Database, or Ruby on Rails!

Requirements:

· HTML::Template
· Perl

Installation

To use the software you’ll need the Date::Parse and HTML::Template perl modules. Debian GNU/Linux users may install these by running:

apt-get install libtimedate-perl libhtml-template-perl

Download, unpack, and run “make install”. This will give you a configuration file in /etc, the binary in /usr/local/bin, and the themes beneath /usr/share/chronicle.

Now create ./blog and populate it with blog entries in the correct format. If you run “chronicle –verbose” you’ll see your compiled files being produced.

Blog Format

A sample blog entry would be a text file with contents like this:

Title: This is the title for an entry
Tags: comma, separated, tag, names
Date: 14th August 2007

< p >This is the first line of the blog entry.< /p >
< p >This is the last line of the blog entry.< /p >

In this example the blog has been written in HTML, but you may choose to write your entries in textile or markdown formats if you prefer.

To specify the input format simply adjust the configuration file:

format = [ html | markdown | textile ]

What’s New in This Release:

· This release updates all included templates to be valid HTML.
· Small speed optimizations allow a larger blog to be compiled more quickly.

Dovecot 1.0.10 / 1.1 Beta 13

admin — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 07:51:31 +0000

Dovecot project is an open source POP3 and IMAP server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security primarily in mind. Although it’s written in C, it uses several coding techniques to avoid most of the common pitfalls.

Dovecot can work with standard mbox and maildir formats and it’s fully compatible with UW-IMAP and Courier IMAP servers’ implementation of them as well as mail clients accessing the mailboxes directly.

It’s easy to migrate from them to Dovecot. I have also plans to support storing mails in SQL databases.

Dovecot is easy to set up and doesn’t require special maintenance. Only thing you need is to get the authentication working properly – if your users are in /etc/passwd there’s hardly anything you have to do.

Dovecot should be pretty fast. There are still some optimizations that could be done, but I believe it already beats most other IMAP servers in overall performance.

This is mostly because of index files that Dovecot maintains; instead of having to scan through all the data in mailbox, Dovecot can get most of the wanted information from index with little effort.

Dovecot’s indexes can scale to huge amount of messages per mailbox with hardly any noticeable slowdown. I’ve tested only up to 367000 mails, but millions of messages should be no problem.

Dovecot takes very little memory. Most of it goes to mmap()ed index and mailbox files, meaning that if operating system is low on memory, it can simply drop those memory pages without having to store them in swap.

Connections are handled in separate processes, each one currently using around 100kB of swappable memory. Some extensions like SORT and THREAD will require more memory to work though.

Dovecot is fail safe. Indexes could potentially be quite a large problem maker, but Dovecot does sanity checks to all data before using it to avoid crashes and other problems.

Any kind of crash is considered as bug and will be fixed – even if it happens only by deliberately poking the index files.

Here are some key features of “Dovecot”:

· Dovecot should be quite ready for use with normal IMAP clients.
· Complete IMAP4rev1 support.
· Supports THREAD and SORT extensions, required by many IMAP webmails.
· Complete TLS/SSL support
· IPv6 ready.
· Shared mailboxes aren’t yet supported.
· Maildir++ quota isn’t yet supported. Hard filesystem

cd2browse 1.01

admin — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 07:48:13 +0000

cd2browse allows you to easily create browseable HTML-based menus from ordinary directory structures, and publish these menus on CD or DVD. The project employs Javascript tree menus (or, optionally, a web-inspired self-expanding menu structure) to provide a clean, easily navigated view of your files.

When might you use cd2browse?

Imagine you have a collection of files of different types (Word, Excel, JPEG, HTML) which you would like to organize and publish on a single CD or DVD in a way that allows a user to easily and coherently browse through the files. Manually creating an HTML index would take quite a bit of time; cd2browse automates and simplifies the task of organizing and linking your files into a logical whole.

Here are some key features of “cd2browse”:

· analyses the file tree, extracts valuable information out of the files, such as title, size, age, and number of pages and creates a browsable html index out of it. In other words after cd2browse has finished, you have a browasable view of the scanned directory structure
· creates thumbnails of images in the file tree – this can be switched off during creation also the size of the thumbnails can be defined
· creates previews of all images in the scanned file tree and make them browsable as a gallery the size can be defined – provides a offline java script based search engine which allows a full text search. Indexed files are:
· pdf, word , excel, powerpoint and html documents
· does not affect the file tree itself. The resulting html files are outside the original file tree – so the file tree is not messed up with index or preview files.
· is customizable according to your needs. The look and feel can be changed using templates.
· cd2browse is open source, structured, documented an licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2.
· Using the menu needs no software installation, you just need a modern browser which is able to run java script. The menus are built in pure html and java script.
· burning the menu and files on cd or dvd will force the cd to auto-start if the disc is inserted into the drive.

The target use for cd2browse is:

· Technical documentation on CD or DVD
· Simple web publishing for different kind of documents
· Program or document collections for CD or DVD
· Publishing of images on CD / DVD

What’s New in This Release:

· Messages are now generally in English.
· The “IndexOption SuppressDescription” directive was added into .htaccess to omit the extraction of PDF titles from PDF files, when the title tag is not sensible.
· The -x option was added, which globally switches off the PDF title extraction.
· “IndexIgnore” in .htaccess will now work with individual files, and also with wildcards, like in Apache.
· IndexIgnore and SuppressDescription are now also valid for sub-directories inside the directory where .htaccess is found.
· The highest directory level is now called “home” and is linked with the welcome.html page.
