whatsnewfm is a filter for the daily newsletter from freshmeat.net that only shows "new" or "interesting" items.

The main purpose is to cut the huge newsletter to a smaller size by only showing items that you didn't see before.

The items already seen will be stored in a database. After some time, the items expire and will be shown again the next time they are included in a newsletter.

If you find an item that you consider particularly useful, you can add it to a "hot" list. Items in the hot list are checked for updates so that you don't miss anything about your favourite programs.

Requirements:
procmail or something else (otherwise you will have to send every newsletter through the filter by hand)
perl, sendmail
BerkeleyDB Perl module
