Free atom newsreader 1.2.4 software for linux

XPN - X Python Newsreader project is a graphical newsreader written in Python with the GTK+ toolkit. I started writing it because I was learning Python language and working on a real project keeps your attention high.
XPN is distributed with the GPL licence, youll found a copy of the licence inside the XPN archive.
An interesting characteristic of XPN is the complete portability. I use it a lot on Linux and Windows, however XPN should work wherever Python and GTK+2 work.
With XPN you can read/write articles on the Usenet with a good MIME support (better than some well known newsreaders).
XPN can operate with all the most diffuse charset starting from US-ASCII to UTF-8. When you edit an article XPN automatically chooses the best charset, however is always possible to override this choice.
There also other useful features like scoring, filtered views, random tag-lines, external editor support, one-key navigation, ROT13, spoiler char ...
Main features:
On-Line/Off-Line Mode
- XPN has been for a long time an on-line only newsreader, now its changed. Starting from 0.2.5 I added the read articles storing, and starting from 0.4.0 you are able to download the whole bodies with the headers, or to mark for retrieval some articles and then download their bodies.
- Note that the download is a bit slow because I havent yet optimized this code, so the better way to use XPN is still with a local news-server, or if you have a DSL connection, directly online.
MIME Standards
- With XPN you can read articles coded with quoted-printable, 7bit or 8bit. XPN is also full UTF-8 compliant, you can read and send aritcles with the UTF-8 charset.
- Outgoing articles are coded with the best charset, however you can always override this choice.
Scoring
- Its possible to create scoring rules (like the Hamsters ones but simpler) in order to assign a score to articles. This rule can act on this fields: From, Subject, Date, Message-ID, References, Age, Xpost, Xref, Bytes and Lines
- You may also create action rules. These rules trigger an action to be applied on to the article. Possible actions are !kill (delete the article), !markread, !watch, !ignore and so on.
- Action rules act on the same fields listed above plus a new field named Score, in fact action rules are always applied after scoring rules.
Multiple Layouts
- Ther three different possible layouts for the main window. Probably in the future I will add more of them. You can also zoom one of the tree panes.
Colors
- Articles are shown with different colors for text, quoted text and signs. You can change this colors.
Random TagLines
- Its possible to automatically add a random tagline in your articles. TagLines are picked from a textfile that you can customize.
X-Face::
- Starting from 0.4.5 XPN support decoding of the X-Face and Face headers. Thanks to Andrew Taylor (author of a Javascript implementation of uncompface) for helping me in translating its module.
Internationalization
- Starting from 0.4.5 release XPN supports multiple languages. I use gettext (thank to Guillame Bedot) in order to mark and extract text string from the code
- If you want to translate XPN in your language just get the original strings file (xpn.pot), youll find it inside lang directory. Translate it with a translation software like GTranslator, KBabel or POEdit and send me the result. Please use UTF-8 as you charset.

autools is a collection of several C programs to play, record, generate, modify, and analyse audio files on Linux/Solaris/IRIX/Win32. It includes native support for 16 bit .au and raw files. If linked with the AFsp library, most common audio file formats are supported.

Instructions for install:

Compile:
make

Install:
make install
or
make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin

Most of this software utilises AFsps libtsp for audio file i/o. Thus libtsp needs to be available in the default include & library paths orin the directories given by the environment variables AFSP_INCLUDE_PATH and AFSP_LIBRARY_PATH. Further details about AFsp are given below.

This software can also be compiled without AFsps libtsp library - in this case, only 16-bit SUN "*.au"-files are supported:
make clean
make USE_AFSP=0

The makefile assumes gcc/g++ and GNU make. It was successfully tested on Linux, Solaris, and IRIX. However it might be necessary to adapt it to your local environment ...

PwManager is a secure password manager.
With PwManager you can easily manage your passwords. PwManager saves your passwords blowfish-encrypted in one file, so you have to remember only one master-password instead of all. Instead of the master-password you can use a chipcard, so you dont have to remember a password to access the list.
Main features:
- Manage passwords the convenient way with the support of password categories, five information columns and an additional comment field.
- Locking mechanism to prevent strangers from looking at your passwords while you are away and not using PwManager.
- Deep-Locking mechanism to encrypt all security critical data, write it to disk and delete it in memory. This enables you to enjoy maximum security with almost no loss of useability.
- The integrated KWallet emulation enables all applications on your KDE Desktop to access the PwManager database in an easy, flexible and secure way.
- A fairly good seaching and sorting mechanism to find entries very fast.
- Chipcard (smartcard) interface. With the chipcard you can replace the "master-password" to easily access all your passwords with a "key-card".
- Printing support to easily print out a complete list of all your passwords.
- System-Tray (kicker) icon to enable the user to access PwManager very fast.
- GPasman and KPasman interface to import and export your data to and from these file formats.

Nuface is a Web-based administration tool that generates Edenwall, NuFW, or simple Netfilter firewall rules.
Nuface project features a high level abstraction on the security policy set by the administrator, and works internally on an XML data scheme.
Its philosophy is to let you agglomerate subjects, resources, or protocols into meta-objects, and use those meta objects to generate ACLs, which are then interpreted as netfilter rules by Nupyf, the internal XML parser.
This tool may easily be extended to support firewall implementations other than Netfilter.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a bug that would scramble destination NAT rules when deleting any other NAT rule.
- It adds an HTML href to linked objects so they can be directly edited.

ivtools (pronounced eye-vee-tools) is a suite of free X Windows drawing editors for PostScript, TeX, and web graphics production, as well as an embeddable and extendable vector graphic shell
ivtools is made up of layered collection of free C++ frameworks that vertically augment the mechanisms of Unidraw
Main features:
- an application framework for developing direct manipulation graphical editors (drawing editors).
- a GUI widget framework built on TeX structured document concepts
- A command interpreter with network capability.
- an extra layer of drawing editor application framework
- a layer for integrating the command interpreter into the drawing editor
- a layer for multi-frame applications
- a layer for graph/network applications
Enhancements:
- More changes required by gcc-4.* were made.
- The command interpreter was evolved.

Stock Quote is a Firefox extension that allows you to get stock quote of selected ticker from any financial site that you define in the setting page.

ferm is a tool to maintain and setup complicated firewall rules. It allows one to reduce the sometime nasty task of carefully inserting rules and chains, thus enabling the firewall administrator to spend more time on developing good rules, and less time on the proper implementation of those rules.
Ferm is written in perl, so it requires perl5, and one of the kernel firewall programs (ipchains/iptables/ipfwadm) to work, although you may test firewall rule generation on any platform that supports perl.
For a good understanding how ferm works: check out the examples listed on top of this page.
Enhancements:
- Support has been added for ipt_hashlimit and ipset.
- There is a fix for the module "icmp6".
- Hooks have been implemented.
