intltool 0.30
Moyen,
A new release of the intltool package is available; this time codenamed
"Kinst keyn Sweeds praten? Pech, der bint ook andere spraken in disse
wereld dey du leren kinst".
The intltool package is a set of tools for translating the contents of
data files using the gettext translation framework.
As always, we suggest everyone to upgrade.
Some of the changes since the last release:
added missing [] quotation macro name defined in AC_DEFUN()
(Tomasz Kloczko)
Handle embedded newlines thereby avoiding the silent corruption of
files. (Morten Welinder)
Now intltool-merge does not compress whitespace in attributes
and CDATA. (Brian Cameron)
Now intltool-merge supports dashes in attribute names, and supports
attributes delimited by single quotes. (Brian Cameron)
Misc small fixes (Kenneth Chr., Danilo Segan)
You can find the source code for intltool 0.30 on GNOME FTP site:
If you have problems with intltool, please report bugs at
bugzilla.gnome.org.
Graytens,

sussen 0.9
MMG Security announces the release of Sussen 0.9. Sussen is a security
scanner which remotely tests computers or other devices and provides a
report on their vulnerabilities.
There are three (3) parts to the system:
sussen (client)
sussen-sensor (server)
sussen-plugins (security tests)
sussen is the user facing side of the system. sussen is designed for
the GNOME environment. It uses the Gtk+ 2.2 and GNOME 2.4 libraries.
sussen is integrated into GNOME, with support for Drag and Drop (DnD)
between Nautilus (GNOME file manager), use of the GNOME Virtual File
System and the GNOME help system.
sussen-sensor is responsible for performing security scans. It is
integrated with GObject, uses Nmap port scanning and has Python based
security tests. It also has support for PAM and
internationalization/localization.
sussen-plugins are the security tests used by both sussen and
sussen-sensor. The tests are written using the Python scripting
language.
*NOTE*: Sussen is not currently suited for production use. Many
features are incomplete or not working at all.
ChangeLog:
sussen v0.9:
Created base window class SussenWindow
Convert main window, plugin and policy editors to use
SussenWindowclass
Updated interface of the Plugin Editor. The look is kind
of inspiredfrom the GIMP and Glade.
Added new command line option --debug to make it easier to
track downproblems.
Slightly changed sussen DB schema
Preferences dialog now has option to create DB schema
Changed objects to use GObject properties
Updated Debian scripts as per lintian's checks
Updated help manual
Various bugfixes
sussen-sensor v0.4:
Wrote ServiceAnalysis object. This analyzes services after a
portscan sofor example if you run a web server on port 25 it
will be tagged and andtested as such. The service fingerprints
are held in a XML file andit's easy to add new ones.
Created SensorOracle object. This provides a way of tracking
resultsand is used by the Python glue to implement the plugin API
calls. sussen-sensor can save this information in a Berkeley DB
and use it forhistorical analysis. The database is scalable
to 256 Terabytes.
Created the start of the HistoricalAnalysis object.
Wrote initial functions for the sussen-plugin API.
sensor now only executes plugins specified by the client.
It nolonger always runs them all.
Muine is a new music player using some new UI ideas. The idea is that it
will be much easier and comfortable to use than the iTunes model, which is
used by both Rhythmbox and Jamboree. It is written in C and C#, using
GStreamer for music playback.
(See the list of changes below if you've read this blurb before.)
Here is another scheduled release of the GNOME Platform Bindings,
which provide a GNOME development platform for programming languages
other than C, in the style of those languages. We very much hope
that Linux distributions will distribute these bindings as a supported
development platform.
Note that those rules do not guarantee 100% API coverage, but they do
guarantee API/ABI stability.
There are "Beta Bindings" for C#, which are likely to be on the full
release schedule for GNOME 2.7/2.8. Note that other bindings exist:
http://www.gtk.org/bindings.html but they are not on this release schedule and they do not necessarily
follow the same rules.
If you have questions about the GNOME Platform Bindings release set please
send email to language-bindings@gnome.org. If you have questions about the
individual bindings, please send email to their own mailing lists. You can
find links to the individual projects here:
