It includes a scheduler and a facility for passing messages among threads. Threads may run in a round robin or according to a priority scheme. Each thread must voluntarily relinquish control from time, via an ordinary function return, so that other threads can run. Since the threads are synchronous, i.e. they don't interrupt each other, they don't need to use semaphores, mutexes, critical sections, or other facilities to keep from interfering with each other. One version of Cheap Threads is designed for embedded systems. checksuite 2.4 http://freshmeat.net/releases/135185/ checksuite is a suite of programs that provide notification and assistance with day-to-day system administration tasks.

DKMS 0.34.10 http://freshmeat.net/releases/135262/ DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) is a framework where device driver source can reside outside the kernel source tree so that it is very easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels. This allows Linux vendors to provide driver drops without having to wait for new kernel releases (as a stopgap before the code can make it back into the kernel), while also taking out the guesswork for customers attempting to recompile modules for new kernels. For veteran Linux users it also provides some advantages since a separate framework for driver drops will remove kernel releases as a blocking mechanism for distributing code. DRT 0.4.0 http://freshmeat.net/releases/135190/ DRT is a design recovery tool for interactive graphical applications running under the X Window System. The tool automatically captures actions performed while using such an application. Functions particularly relevant to each action are highlighted.

DSPAM 2.7.0-beta.1 http://freshmeat.net/releases/135217/ DSPAM is a server-side anti-spam agent for UNIX email servers. It masquerades as the email server's local delivery agent and filters/learns spam using a Bayesian statistical approach which provides an administratively maintenance-free, self-learning anti-spam service. Each email is broken down into its most interesting tokens, each assigned a spam probability. All probabilities are then combined to produce a statistical probability of spam. This approach, applied to a mature corpus of email, has the potential to yield a 99.75% success rate with less than a 0.03% chance of false positives. E-Cell System 3.1.98 (ecell3) http://freshmeat.net/releases/135236/ E-Cell System is an object-oriented software suite for modelling, simulation, and analysis of large scale complex systems such as biological cells.

With e4Graph, you can arrange your data in the most natural form that reflects the relationships between its parts, rather than having to force it into a table-like format. The e4Graph library also allows you to concentrate on the relationships you want to represent, and not on how to store them in a database. You can modify data items, and add and remove connections and relationships between pieces of data on the fly. e4Graph allows you to represent an unlimited number of different connections between pieces of data, and your program can selectively manipulate the data according to the relationships it cares about, not having to know about other connections represented in the data set.

It is unique in that it also allows you to apply security to these objects using a fairly simple but powerful scheme of users and groups. It's also unique in that for most objects, you will not need to write any code. All you need is a fairly simple configuration file, and you can have a class for your object ready to go, right out of thin air. symox 0.2 http://freshmeat.net/releases/135195/ symox (set your mouse on X) is a command-line tool that automatically sets your mouse pointer to the given position if the mouse pointer isn't moving.

Tapestry 3.0-beta-3 http://freshmeat.net/releases/135272/ Tapestry is a rich, component-based object model for developing dynamic, robust, highly interactive Web applications. Applications are constructed in terms of Java objects, methods and properties, instead of URLs and query parameters. It builds and interprets all URLs, dispatching directly to application-specific "listener" methods. It includes complete source code, documentation, tutorials and a complete example J2EE application. Tent 1.0 http://freshmeat.net/releases/135187/ Tent is a set of PHP scripts and modules for managing data stored in a MySQL database. It was originally written to handle a staff database and a contact manager. Its features include a calendar, contact management, sales tracking, a shopping cart, and general workflow modules. The Quine McClusky Simplification Tool 0.92c-beta (Development) http://freshmeat.net/releases/135240/ The Quine McClusky Simplification Tool should optimize boolean equations by using the Quine McClusky process. The input syntax is very easy, and it already works with a few variables. Thy 0.8.1 (Development) http://freshmeat.net/releases/135206/ Thy is a lightweight HTTP daemon that is designed to be clean and fast, yet powerful enough to serve many hits a day. Despite its small size, it supports CGI, IPv6, SSL/TLS, and on-the-fly compression. Ultra-Performance UDPForwarder 3.1 http://freshmeat.net/releases/135259/ UDPForwarder listens on multiple ports to forward incoming UDP datagrams from clients to the corresponding server and forwards the server's response back to the client. This works 100% transparently, so clients think they are talking to the forwarder and the server does not notice the clients' real IP. It was initially designed to work as a transparent relay for online game traffic (static routing). It might be useful for hiding IPs or tricking firewalls. Its motivation and advantage over existing tools is its uncompromising focus on performance, which is crucial when dealing with hundreds and thousands of datagrams per second without allowing any rise in response time. UNFS3 0.8.3 http://freshmeat.net/releases/135267/ UNFS3 is a user-space implementation of the NFSv3 server specification. It is designed to be portable to different operating systems, with built-in Linux and Solaris support.
