OCEAN GenRap is a completely new reporting and data analysis solution. OCEAN GenRap is created by a powerful report generating engine connected with an innovative report editor designed specially for regular users. Therefore it allows you to share the ability to modify, create reports and carry out simple business analysis with managers, salesmen, consultants and other employees having access to data, but lacking programming skills.
Reporting engine
OCEAN GenRap SDK contains a Runtime component. OCEAN GenRap Runtime component can be built in any application to provide reporting capabilities. Simple programming API, support for popular RDBMS servers and ODBC sources, various output formats (including PDF, Postscript, HTML and XLS), no charge and availability for J2SE and .NET platform are its great advantages.
Ad-hoc reporting
Integrating Runtime component into an application allows you also to communicate with the OCEAN GenRap. Its a next generation office tool with a text editor interface and advanced user friendly data access, which makes reporting and analyzing data much faster and simpler. Because there is no SQL language knowledge needed to operate OCEAN GenRap, the system can be used for ad - hoc reporting and providing at - once data analysis on a company scale.
Increased market share and audience reach
System integrated with or using OCEAN GenRap can be utilized in a wider range. Reports, analysis and printouts can not only be generated as static html pages, pdf files or physical printouts. They can also be edited. All reports based on OCEAN GenRap can be modified in both ranges - the logical layer, and the appearance.
Key benefit in this group is that the process of modification of reports can be carried out by regular users without proper programming skills. From now on, creating report is not reserved only to IT staff members with SQL language and database technologies knowledge. Every employee familiar with e.g. MS Word and MS Excel will be able to easily:
- modify the appearance of the report, including font changing, colors, moving elements across the document, arranging elements on the report,
- modify the logic of the report by one-click grouping, sorting and filtering data listing or drag-and-drop adding fields from the user friendly data schema,
- create sophisticated reports without proper knowledge of SQL language and database technologies.
Thanks to OCEAN GenRap, reporting capabilities can be made available to every user of the application, increasing effectiveness and reducing costs of report preparation.
Enhancements:
- This release added charts, support for importing RTF documents, recognition of pervasive PSQL data types in ODBC, and more.

WorldForge::Mason is the second game system being developed by WorldForge. The primary focus for Mason is to enable players to build a persistent world in-game. Players will be able to manipulate items by creating new items from raw materials, attaching existing items together or splitting items into component parts.
Complicated structures such as houses can be designed on paper as a blueprint and then built with suitable building blocks and skills.
Reaching this milestone will require expanding not only our existing server and client code, but also refining the Atlas protocal that connects them.
The expansion will cover item creation (using a recipe system), construction of houses and other large structures (attaching items together), creating complex machines (combining simple machine parts), simulating organic reactions (festering wounds, adrenaline rush) with a detailed body system, editing text and other information objects in-game, and running an economy that changes with the world.
To demonstrate these techniques we will create a competitive and cooperative game centering about settling the uninhabited lands in the north-western corner of Moraf in our Dural world.
The players can play either human settlers attracted by the rumors of gold or promises of free land, or orcs, driven down to the plains from the overpopulated dens of the orc tribes of Sarnak.
Game
This section contains things related to the Mason Game in general, such as background story, game objectives, and planned features for version 1.0 of the game. It will also contain an installation guide, a players guide, and a game administrators guide. Theres also a page of links to screenshots and downloads.
If you are a potential future player and would like to know what the game will be like, or a creative writer interested in making the game interesting and fun to play, or if you want to write or translate documentation for end users, then this is the place for you.
Technology
This section contains the design of the various abstract systems that will implement all the central features of Mason. The systems include: the Item System, the Mechanical System, the Information Object System, the Body System, the Mind System, and others.
If you are a developer or game designer, interested in how all the revolutionary features supported by Mason are going to be implemented, then this section is for you.
Content
This section deals with all the general data needed for the Mason Game: item and creature descriptions and stats, maps of the Moraf area in the Dural world, and media for items and terrain. This data can be directly reused in later games.
If you are a world designer, artist, musician, or a MU* wizard who loves creating cool new items, then this section is for you.
Enhancements:
- Mason is now supported in two major 3D clients, Ember and Sear.
- An advanced terrain system has been implemented, including procedural texturing, paths, modified areas, and swimming in water.
- Building materials and resources can be gathered from the world using tools.
- Work has started on a new combat system.

Synapse application is an ESB engine built completely on the Web Services standards on top of Apache Axis2.
It is a mediation framework for Web services that allows messages flowing through, into, or out of an organization to be mediated, including aspects such as logging, service lookup, performance mediation, versioning, failover, monitoring, fault management, and tracing.
Synapse is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Web Services PMC.
Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
We have released a first Milestone M1. The release will supports:
- Simple mediation based on regex and xpath rules
- Onbound routing of messages
- Deploy simple Java mediators to perform logging, routing, message transform etc
- XSLT transformation of messages
- HTTP Proxy support
- Stages and in/out handling of messages

Buni Meldware Communication Suite (MCS) is a platform-independent groupware package consisting of:
- Meldware Mail
- Meldware Calendar
- Meldware Webmail
- Meldware Secure Administration System
Together the package provides support for thousands of users concurrently to send and receive email and to schedule meetings. MCS uniquely allows you to store all messages and scheduling events in nearly any database and runs on nearly all popular software and hardware platforms.
MCS commitment to platform and database agnosticism aims to meet increasing business requirements to maximize ease and flexibility of managing and accessing data as well as putting a premium on interoperability.
Additionally, while the scheduling and calendaring services can be installed separately, the integrated feature set provides both a distinctive and powerful experience to both users and server-side Mail Based Applications and Collaboration Based Application Services.
The MCS platform provides security integration using LDAP sources including Microsoft Active Directory as well as flat-file and database sources.
Additionally, extensible security allows custom authentication/authorization sources.
Enhancements:
- This is the first milestone release with WCAP, freebusy for webmail, and mature IMAP all together.
- It has undergone extensive hardening, dogfooding, and QA testing.
- The WCAP protocol for calendaring now works well for Thunderbird and Lightning 0.3.
- Webmail calendaring was greatly improved.
- The abillity to download attachments has been added to the webmail interface.
- Numerous performance improvements have been made in SMTP, IMAP, and MIME parsing since 1.0-M7.

DragonFly is an Linux operating system and environment designed to be the logical continuation of the FreeBSD-4.x OS series. These operating systems belong in the same class as Linux in that they are based on UNIX ideals and APIs. DragonFly is a fork in the path, so to speak, giving the BSD base an opportunity to grow in an entirely new direction from the one taken in the FreeBSD-5 series.

It is our belief that the correct choice of features and algorithms can yield the potential for excellent scalability, robustness, and debuggability in a number of broad system categories. Not just for SMP or NUMA, but for everything from a single-node UP system to a massively clustered system. It is our belief that a fairly simple but wide-ranging set of goals will lay the groundwork for future growth.

The existing BSD cores, including FreeBSD-5, are still primarily based on models which could at best be called strained as they are applied to modern systems. The true innovation has given way to basically just laying on hacks to add features, such as encrypted disks and security layering that in a better environment could be developed at far less cost and with far greater flexibility.

We also believe that it is important to provide API solutions which allow reasonable backwards and forwards version compatibility, at least between userland and the kernel, in a mix-and-match environment. If one considers the situation from the ultimate in clustering... secure anonymous system clustering over the internet, the necessity of having properly specified APIs becomes apparent.

Finally, we believe that a fully integrated and feature-full upgrade mechanism should exist to allow end users and system operators of all walks of life to easily maintain their systems. Debian Linux has shown us the way, but it is possible to do better.

DragonFly is going to be a multi-year project at the very least. Achieving our goal set will require a great deal of groundwork just to reposition existing mechanisms to fit the new models. The goals link will take you to a more detailed description of what we hope to accomplish.

1.2.0 is our second major DragonFly release and the first one which we have created a separate CVS branch for. DragonFlys policy is to only commit bug fixes to release branches.

This release represents a significant milestone in our efforts to improve the kernel infrastructure. DragonFly is still running under the Big Giant Lock, but this will probably be the last release where that is the case.

The greatest progress has been made in the network subsystem. The TCP stack is now almost fully threaded (and will likely be the first subsystem we remove the BGL from in coming months). The TCP stack now fully supports the SACK protocol and a large number of bug and performance fixes have gone in, especially in regard to GigE performance over LANs.

The namecache has been completely rewritten and is now considered to be production-ready with this release. The rewrite will greatly simplify future filesystem work and is a necessary precursor for our ultimate goal of creating a clusterable OS.

This will be last release that uses GCC 2.95.x as the default compiler. Both GCC 3.4.x and GCC 2.95.x are supported in this release through the use of the CCVER environment variable (gcc2 or gcc34). GCC 2.95.x is to be retired soon due to its lack of TLS support. The current development branch will soon start depending heavily on TLS support and __thread both within the kernel and in libc and other libraries. This release fully supports TLS segments for programs compiled with gcc-3.4.x.

It goes without saying that this release is far more stable then our 1.0A release. A huge number of bug fixes, performance improvements, and design changes have been made since the 1.0A release.
