TinyFugue project is a MUD client.
TinyFugue, aka "tf", is a flexible, screen-oriented MUD client, for use with any type of MUD. TinyFugue is one of the most popular and powerful mud clients.
Enhancements:
- Added %max_hook to prevent infinite hook loops.
- Added gethostname().
- Added missing documentation for new "E" and "W" attributes. (50b7)
- Added "inline" flag to decode_attr().
- Added -a< attr > and -p options to /prompt.
- Output of "/load testcolor.tf" now includes labels with r,g,b values.
- May create a debugging log if tf crashes.
- When invoked as a login shell, suspend is ignored, instead of hanging parent (workaround for sshd, which does not correctly set TSTP signal handler).
- Fixed: after a resize with visual=off, the screen was not redrawn. (50b7)
- Fixed: after a resize with visual=off, an immediate backspace or other input deletion would crash tf: "Internal error: output.c, line 2501". (50b7)
- Fixed: server display attributes could be lost if they had wrapped from a previous line and were followed by more attributes.
- Fixed: /filter changed the idea of the virtual bottom line, so a subsequent /unfilter redrew from the new incorrect bottom, and a subsequent /filter used the new incorrect bottom as a starting point for applying a new filter (resulting in a spurious "no lines match criteria" if the only matching lines are between the correct and incorrect bottoms).
- Fixed potential crashes in calling functions with invalid arguments: strrep(), status_fields().
- Fixed: on servers with terminated (GOAHEAD or EOR) prompts, tf could lose the first part of a server line in the rare condition of tf sending a line between receiving the first and second parts of the server line.
- Fixed: non-time decimal values greater than 60 were sometimes formatted as time values. (50b7)
- Fixed fatal bug in moresize() on a world that has never been /connected.
- Fixed infinite loop when replace() is called with empty first argument.
- Fixed: with visual=off, /dokey flush (^[j) did not clear the more prompt.
- Fixed: /recordline ignored -a option if -p was not also given.
- Fixed fatal bug on some systems in /listsockets when there are connectionless sockets open.
- Fixed: various bad things could happen if a trigger attempted to apply a partial hilite to a line longer than 32767 characters.
- Fixed bugs on 64-bit platforms: /fg -c (Debian bug #327448), some variable assignments
- Fixed: some cases of hostname resolution failure could cause a crash
- More robust TELNET protocol handling reduces problems on noncompliant servers: Ignores option subnegotiation if option has not been agreed on. If IAC SB (0xff 0xfa) is received before any other telnet command, the server is treated as a non-telnet server.
- Upgraded configure.in to autoconf 2.59 (should affect developers only)

Independence is not just one of these commercial distributions who have been appearing daily for the last months. It aims at being a distribution allowing the users to make hear their voice in distribution design.

It is built by volunteers who no longer accept having an aristocracy of distribution designers providing solutions who have little relation to the problems faced by us, Linux users. It is built by people who dont accept that present distributions time and again neglect two areas who are vital for Linux future: the desktop and the personal computer.

Software included in Independence:

This is the selection of software that we think to be useful. And even those packages that do originate from the RedHat distribution are often modified to serve the end-users needs better.

Here, you will find a short explanation of the packages we provide, that are either a special remake from RedHat packages, or that are not derived from RedHat packages at all - our very own packages.

ClanLib: Game library, I will include ClanBomber with it.
FileRunner: a filemanager reminding Amigas. It can also act as an FTP client.
Giram: Modeller who uses POV as raytracer. Linux is supposed to be fun.
GnoSamba: Makes easier to config Samba
GTk-Perl: used by Independences Gimp
Hermes: provides MMX acceleration to the ClanLib and SDL libraries.
LinPopUp: allows sending and getting WinPopUp messages. For instance a Samba printer server could notify the user when the job is finished, alternatively a Linux user printing through an NT or Samba server will be avle to know when his output has been printed.
MPEG: An MPEG encoder and decoder.
Mesa: 3D libray used by various programs in Indy
OpenPTC: needed for the game libraries.
SDL: Indys second game library.
Timidity++: Midi sound player.
VNC: With it you can display on Linux applications running on Windows or Macs. Or the opposite.
VNC-alien: This is the part of VNC who will run on Windows or Macs.
Visual-Tcl: IDE and GUI builder for TCL/TK. One of Indys goals is to get that Windows people develop on Linux.
Wav-plugin: A Wav plugin for netscape.
XFree86 (Indy): This is obsolete. Indy had a patched XFree supportng more cards than RedHat, now RedHat has cauight up howver Indys XFree had the hooks for running XFCE in addition to Gnoime and KDE. However I dont think I will be able to add XFCE so I will put the new XFree in the updates section (we will use 3.3.6 against RedHats 3.3.5)
Xconfigurator (Indy): The XF86Config built by RedHat assumes the user is smart enough to nevver shutdown the font server. I find that making a distribution so frail to user error is unacceptable, so Indys configurator geerates a config file whho aloows X to be more tolerant of user errors.
aalib: Needed by Indys gimp.
abisuite: Wysywyg word processor able to read MS word files.
acroread: Adobes PDF reader, better quality than xpdf and able to read files xpdf chokes upon.
anacron: Indy does not assume that every Linux user and specially personal isers will kepp their boxes powered up 24 hours a day. Anacron takes care of doing your cron jobs (jobs that are automatically done from time to time) in such a way that your computer can be put on and off whenever you like.
atalkconf: Graphical configurator for netatalk (Apple Talk server).
autofs: (Indy) Indy was the first distrib relieving the user of the chore of mounting CDROMs. This was unacceptable on workstations.
blender: A complete tool for graphical creation.
cbb: Check book balancer. I have seen much too often people complaining they had to keep Windows due to lack of a Quicken like program. We asumme that many Linux users use it at home and that means they need programs in this vein.
cdda2wav: Reading audio data from CDs and making WAv files of it.
cooledit: Nice X editor.
etcskel (Indy): This contains the files wgho will be placed in the home directory of a newly created user. Indy puts some tricks of its own in this files/
gaim: Taliking to people using AOLs instant messaging service.
gdm (Indy): This is specific due to stupid copyright reasons: it displays RedHat logo.
gfcc: Allows easy configuration of masquerading and similar tricks you can do with ipchains. Can be useful in corporations but also for people with two computers linked by a LAN at home
gimp 1.1.14: For the artist sleeping in each user. This version is supposed to be for developers but I found stable and leagues ahead of the old gimp 1.0 shipped in RedHat..
gimpdoc-pdf: This is version 2 of the manual. RedHat uses HTML for the Gimp manual, Indys uses PDF due to the far graeter quality of the output. In addition some chapters of the manual would not display on Netscape unless you had _at least_ 64 megs of memory.
gltt: This is a library who will no longer be needed after we drop mooonlight, but the demo is so nice I will keep it in the distrib hoping people will create programs with it.
gnomeicu: ICQ client.
gphoto: Downloading images from electronic cameras and making some common manipulatins like removing the red eyes effect.
grip: CD player and ripper.
gtk--: C++ interface for GTK+
gxtar: A Gnome front end to tar, gzip, bzip2 archives.
ibtk: For ATI TV cards.
initscripts (Indy): Indy provides for automatic activation of network daemons when a PPP link is brought up. Also Indy is smarter and more robust than RedHAt respective to an uninstalled gdm, kdm. These tricks and perhaps some more are provded through this packege.
install-sendmail: Easy configuration of sendmail. We want the user being able to ask for help if something goes wrong.
kdebase (Indy): Again there is alittle Indy trick making things easier for the user.
kdevelop: IDE for UNix. If I have tiime to build it we will ship Code Crusader instead
killustrator: I wanted a vector drawing program but I still doubt between this and sketch. Anyone willing to compare them?
klyx: Nearly wysywyg word processor.
knetmon: You really need it if you have windows boxes around you. People who have never been in this situation include Gniomba instead. :-)
kvoice: Voice utility for modems
kwintv: Watch TV
lesstif: Library replcng Motif. Intended for Ted but some of the Motif apps we have could be recompiled with it.
libwmf: needed for abisuite.
lilo (Indy): Indys LILO tells you how to get out of trouble.
lincity: Game.
lokkit: Instant protection against the scum of the Internet. Indy does not assume the user has an experienced sysadmin at hand or is sitting behind a firewall: we have heard of something called home users.
loser: Game. Far too fast when the box has been optimized by Cobra.
lpe: A reasonable editor with online help for people who have to fix a box before having time to learn VI. Indys installs it in a such way it is available in the most desperate situations.

GnoTime provides a to-do list organizer and project timer.
GnoTime is a to-do list tracker and project timer with a built-in invoice generator. It allows users to keep track of how much time they have spent working on particular tasks, maintain a diary of that work, and create invoices with task-specific billing fees and rates.
Main features:
- Multiple To-Do Lists that can be sorted by the priority/importance of the tasks in the list. The to-do items can be organized into categories, arranged in a hierarchical way. This makes it easy to maintain both business and personal items in the list, or handle many different projects, while keeping them separate from each other.
- A pair of Diary/Journal areas that can be used to keep long and detailed notes and diary entries. The project description area allows a multi-paragraph description or status to be typed in. The diary area allows day-to-day notes to be associated with a set of timestamps, so that one has a record of what one did on any given day.
- A Running Timer, with time totals, for each project/task. One starts the timer by clicking on a task: it will measure the amount of time that you are in front of the computer. If it detects that the keyboard/mouse are idle, it will stop the clock. If the clock stays stopped too long, it will nag you to start it up again. You can view time totals by day, week, month or year.
- A Billing Status dialog for each diary entry. You can mark any given diary entry as bill-able/non-bill-able, paid or pending, and set the billing rate. Each project can also be marked up with a set of project-planning information: planed start, end and due dates, hours to finish, percent-complete. This is in addition to assigning an urgency/importance to each project, as well as a status (completed/in-progress not-started/canceled).
- A half-dozen different HTML Reports that can slice and dice your lists. Theres a Journal report that shows all of the diary entries for one given project. Theres an Invoice report that summarizes the time spent on each entry, and computes a dollar amount for it. Theres a Status Report that prints the title of each project, together with the paragraph-long descriptions of each. Theres a ToDo report, which prints only the project title, the importance/urgency, and the completed/in-progress/not-started status. The Daily report summarizes the total time spent on a day-by-day basis, and lists each of the projects that were worked on in a given day. Each of these reports can be customized. And, because theyre HTML, you can even publish them as web pages. (Yes, Ive thought of using GnoTime as a weblog management/publishing tool).

Hephaestus project is a computer role playing game construction kit.

Hephaestus is a freeware computer role-playing game construction kit (often called an "RPG maker"). A map editor is included, and scripting is done in the Java programming language. Hephaestus is written in Java, and therefore runs on every platform.

Youve wanted to make your own computer role-playing game all your life. Hephaestus 2 makes it easier than ever to make any adventure you can imagine. Use your own art and sounds, or use the standard libraries. Make "static" maps with the map editor, or create your maps entirely with code - even making mazes and dungeons that are different every time you play. Theres never been a better time to start writing your own CRPG!

Hephaestus 2 now includes the post-holocaust horror adventure, Umbra! After the Great Old Ones return to reclaim the Earth, the few survivors cower in towns hidden in the wilderness, or have given themselves over to madness and worship of inhuman gods. You start out alone and helpless, but can rise to strike back, and perhaps return Earth to humanity!

Class::Meta::Express is a Perl module for concise, expressive creation of Class::Meta classes.

Synopsis

package My::Contact;
use Class::Meta::Express;

class {
meta contact => ( default_type => string );
has name;
has contact => ( required => 1 );
}

This module provides an interface to concisely yet expressively create classes with Class::Meta. Although I am of course fond of Class::Meta, Ive never been overly thrilled with its interface for creating classes:

package My::Thingy;
use Class::Meta;

BEGIN {
# Create a Class::Meta object for this class.
my $cm = Class::Meta->new( key => thingy );

# Add a constructor.
$cm->add_constructor( name => new );

# Add a couple of attributes with generated accessors.
$cm->add_attribute(
name => id,
is => integer,
required => 1,
);

$cm->add_attribute(
name => name,
is => string,
required => 1,
);

$cm->add_attribute(
name => age,
is => integer,
);

# Add a custom method.
$cm->add_method(
name => chk_pass,
code => sub { return code },
);
$cm->build;
}

This example is relatively simple; it can get a lot more verbose. But even still, all of the method calls were annoying. I mean, whoever thought of using an object oriented interface for declaring a class? (Oh yeah: I did.) I wasnt alone in wanting a more declarative interface; Curtis Poe, with my blessing, created Class::Meta::Declare, which would use this syntax to create the same class:

package My::Thingy;
use Class::Meta::Declare :all;

Class::Meta::Declare->new(
# Create a Class::Meta object for this class.
meta => [
key => thingy,
],
# Add a constructor.
constructors => [
new => { }
],
# Add a couple of attributes with generated accessors.
attributes => [
id => {
type => $TYPE_INTEGER,
required => 1,
},
name => {
required => 1,
type => $TYPE_STRING,
},
age => { type => $TYPE_INTEGER, },
],
# Add a custom method.
methods => [
chk_pass => {
code => sub { return code },
}
]
);

This approach has the advantage of being a bit more concise, and it is declarative, but I find all of the indentation levels annoying; its hard for me to figure out where I am, especially if I have to define a lot of attributes. And finally, everything is a string with this syntax, except for those ugly read-only scalars such as $TYPE_INTEGER. So I cant easily tell where one attribute ends and the next one starts. Bleh.

Brabosphere is an OpenSource program for the 3D visualisation of molecular systems and their properties. Brabospheres name is derived from the quantum mechanical program package BRABO (developed at the Structural Chemistry Group of the University of Antwerp) for which it acts as a graphical frontend.
It can also be used for the analysis and visualisation of the data resulting from this type of calculations. In that respect, results from some other quantum mechanical applications will also be accepted.
For quick viewing of molecular structures, the program CrdView is being developed, acting as a replacement for Xmol and allowing command line conversion between a multitude of coordinate file formats.
Main features:
- Molecule builder:
- Atoms can be added and positioned using absolute or relative cartesian coordinates and internal coordinates.
- They can, of course, also be deleted
- Atoms or groups of atoms can be moved using mouse/keyboard or by giving the exact values.
- Groups of atoms can be rotated around their center of mass.
- Bonds, valence angles and torsion angles can be altered using the mouse/keyboard. Calculating torsion potentials has never been easier!
- The following properties can be visualised in the 3D windows:
- Element type and index
- Mulliken or stockholders charges
- Atomic forces
- An unlimited number of 3D density isosurfaces with different colors and transparency settings
- Calculations are saved in the Chemical Markup Language (CML) format, the XML-based chemistry format of the future.
- The following types of BRABO calculations can be set up:
- Single point energy
- Energy and forces
- Geometry optimization
- The calculation settings can be changed in extreme detail with an interface allowing the addition of new keywords and options. Generated input files can be reviewed before execution.
- An easy interface is provided for showing all output files created by a calculation.
- 2D electron density map files created by BRABOs Potdicht program can be visualized in high quality in a variety of ways. Regions can be analyzed for extrema in the density.
- 3D hydrogen-like orbitals can be calculated analytically for all elements and visualized using isodensity and scatter plots.
- MDI: Brabosphere can open an unlimited number of calculations and present them in the native Multiple Document Interface of each platform. One can switch between the Windows MDI mode, the UNIX Toplevel mode and the tabpage mode, even while the application is running.
