Free layer software for linux

Swing Glue is an ultra thin layer that allows to decouple view, controller and model into separate individual domains.
It as not just another framework as you might think now. It is an very generic layer that has a minimal impact to the application where swing glue is used.
Main features:
- Object repository that minimizes transport of references
- automatic population of Adhesive class members from the repository
- abstraction of view code and event code
- no wrapping component classes, you still use the normal Swing classes
Swing Glue is proof for the legend that a framewok does not necessarly has to be a Bloat of code that helps you to simplify your development.
It also works with a simple framework that is non evasive and has a very simple code base.

DBIx::Password provides an abstraction layer for password maintenance. It is database independent and only overrides the connect method (so it basically behaves as DBI normally does).

You provide a single virtual user name in the connect method and the module determines which database/which user/which password to provide.

The purpose of the Control Framework for PHP (CFP) is to design and implement a completely OO based approach to Web UI design and form handling in PHP.

Control Framework for PHPs main use is for building the UI layer of your PHP Web application. UI behavior can be encapsulated into UI elements called controls.

SVGSlice application can generate chopped up images from Inkscape SVG drawings.

To figure out where to cut, SVGSlice can use Inkscapes built in guides (for simpler, grid-like cuts), or it can use a specially named "slices" layer that contains rectangles that mark areas to slice.

Demo files showing both approaches are included.

Lua-Sqlite3 project is a binding of Sqlite3 for Lua.
Lua-Sqlite3 is unique in contrast to other database bindings that it consists of two layers.
The first layer translates the SQLite 3 implementations C API to Lua. The first layer is called the backend.
The second layers are frontend layers, written in Lua. These layers provide a nice and smart view of the database
Currently, Lua-Sqlite3 implements two frontends:
- A specialiced frontend which provides all sqlite3 capabilities.
- A LuaSQL compatible frontend as used on the Kepler Project.
Enhancements:
- Lua 5.1 support was added, and 5.0 is still supported.
- An autoconf configure script is provided.

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.

RULI stands for Resolver User Layer Interface. Its a library built on top of an asynchronous DNS stub resolver. RULI provides an easy-to-use interface for querying DNS SRV resource records. The goal is to promote wide deployment of SRV-cognizant software. RULI aims to fully support SRV-related standards. There are bindings for PHP, Perl, Guile/Scheme, Java, and Lua. IPv6 is supported.

Now you can understand the benefits of SRV records and please see how RULI can help you.

SRV records are more complex than A records

Handling DNS SRV is not as simple as to deal with ordinary address records. When one performs a query for A records by calling gethostbyname(), he gets a list of addresses which should be contacted in the same order as they were received. For SRV records, there is an additional logic that must be applied to the records, based on their weight and priority, to discover the correct sequence for contacting them.
RULI can handle SRV records for you

The SRV logic is described in RFC 2782. Those who intend to use SRV benefits in their application are expected to implement that exact behavior. RULI can help here: it automatically performs all the SRV logic for you.
Keep focus on your application logic

Application developers probably want to spend time on their business logic; not dealing with the details of the DNS protocol or implementing the SRV specification.

RULI is a tested framework designed to properly fetch SRV records. It saves you time and head aches.
RULI is free as in free beer and in free speech
