About: Detect Library can be used in any program that needs to perform hardware detection. Its API (in C) is very easy to learn and use. It can detect many devices like bridges, CPUs, network cards, floppy drives, ISDN cards, parallel ports, printers, scanners, and tapes on many busses like PCMCIA, PCI, USB, and SCSI. Changes: A new framework. Speed has been greatly improved. No need to be root anymore to use it. Use of cmake. Functions to get detection information. Many fixes.
About: ipt_ACCOUNT is a local network accounting system for the Linux netfilter/iptables system. Changes: Support for kernel 2.6.27 was added.
About: SiSU (Structured information, Serialized Units) is a lightweight markup based, text structuring and publishing framework (that features granular search). With minimal markup of a plaintext file, it produces: plain-text, HTML, XHTML, XML, ODF, LaTeX, PDF, and populates an SQL database at an object/paragraph level for granular searches. Prepare documents using your text editor of choice, then use SiSU to generate the desired output formats. SiSU is controlled from the command line.
About: StorYBook is a scene-based program for creative writers, novelists, and authors that helps to keep the overview over the strands while writing a book, a novel, or a story. It assists you in structuring your book. Changes: Undo and redo are supported for text areas and text fields. The program was translated into Greek. The object tree has been improved. The bug "Export of Character List fails" has been fixed. The French translation has been completed.
About: Diskless Remote Boot in Linux (DRBL) provides a diskless or systemless environment for client machines. It works on Debian, Mandriva, Red Hat, Fedora, and SuSE. Unlike LTSP, it uses distributed hardware resources and makes it possible for clients to fully access local hardware. It also includes Clonezilla, a partitioning and disk cloning utility similar to Symantec Ghost. Changes: Support for Ubuntu 8.10 and Mandriva 2009.0. New upstream memtest86+ 2.10.

Changes: A command line tool for controlling profiled applications was implemented. New memory inspection "non-serializable objects referenced from serializable objects" was added. It's possible to export views to zipped HTML. Native thread IDs are shown in the profiler UI. "Live" view with object allocations was implemented. A "Quick info" (Ctrl+Q) panel is available as a slave view. Snapshot comparison views have an option to see only positive or only negative differences.
About: UMLGraph facilitates the declarative specification and drawing of UML class and sequence diagrams. One can specify a class design using the Java syntax complemented by Javadoc tags. Running the UmlGraph doclet on the specification generates a Graphviz diagram specification that can be automatically processed to create Postscript, GIF, SVG, JPEG, fig, or Framemaker drawings. Similarly, sequence diagrams are specified using declarative pic macros and compiled with the GNU plotutils pic2plot program into a PNG, PNM, (pseudo) GIF, SVG, AI, Postscript, CGM, FIG, PCL, HPGL, Regis, or TEK drawing. Changes: This version corrects an exception when a dependency to an unknown class is specified. It also fixes a NullPointerException that occurred when no global options are available. It also corrects the case of the tools.jar filename in the umlgraph shell script.
About: Equalizer is a programming interface and resource management system for scalable OpenGL applications. An Equalizer application can run unmodified on any visualization system, from a single-GPU laptop to large scale graphics clusters and shared memory visualization systems. Equalizer is build from ground up as a parallel, scalable programming interface, solving the common problems for any multi-GPU application. Changes: 2D and DB load-balancing, support for time-multiplex compounds, a statistics overlay, and ParaComp integration were added.
About: Qore is a modular, multi-threaded, SQL-integrated, weakly-typed scripting language with procedural and object-oriented features, powerful and easy-to-use data types, structures, and operators, and a clean and easy-to-learn/read syntax. Qore supports safe signal handling, exception handling and exception-safe programming, XML and JSON integration as well as TLS/SSL socket support, HTTP, XML-RPC, JSON-RPC communication, easy date arithmetic, strong encryption, and deadlock detection. It was designed for SMP scalability. Changes: This release fixes eight crashing bugs and addresses packaging issues from the previous release. Additionally, terminal attributes may be manipulated with the new TermIOS class and new File methods (with the stdin, stdout, and sterrr constants). The Socket class now supports timeouts on connect*() methods. The File class was extended to support event generation and non-blocking reads. A Portfile is available for MacPorts, supporting building Universal binaries.
About: LDView is a real-time 3D viewer for displaying LDraw models using hardware-accelerated 3D graphics. Changes: Basic support for steps was added. Basic means that rotations and buffer exchanges aren't supported. POV export support was added, including LGEO support with separate XML files. MPD sub-model selection was added. Model tree view was added. SMP-awareness was implemented for conditional edges and sorted transparency. A native Cocoa version was added for Mac OS.
About: The WiKID Strong Authentication System is a highly scalable, secure two-factor authentication system. It is simple to implement and maintain, allows users to be validated automatically, requires no hardware tokens, has a simple API for application support (via Ruby, PHP, Java, COM, Python, etc.), supports multiple domains, and supports replication for fault tolerance and scalability. It also supports mutual /host and transaction authentication, wireless tokens only domains, locked tokens (to your PC), anti-keystroke logger keypad PIN entry, etc. Changes: The database is now ensured to be stopped before running setup. The sudoers file was changed to allow sudo to work during boot. Improvements were made to scripts. A database connection leak in the passcode request block was fixed. Connections are now ensured to be properly wrapped for device initialization. Some general code cleanup was done.
About: DRC generates digital room correction FIR filters to be used within HiFi systems in conjunction with real time convolution engines like BruteFIR. Changes: The Octave scripts have been reworked to make them compatible with version 3 of Octave. A new renormalization procedure, providing a reasonable extimation of clipping levels, has been added. Many minor bugs have been fixed.
About: Diffuse is a graphical tool for comparing and merging text files. It can work with many revision control systems as a diff viewer or merge tool. Diffuse is able to compare an arbitrary number of files side-by-side (n-way merge), and gives the user the ability to manually correct line matching and directly edit the files. Changes: This release focused on user interface polish. Panes and tabs can now be manually reorganized and window scrolling is now smoother. Diffuse will now request confirmation before writing over changed files. The behavior of the tab key can now be customized and the home/end keys may now be used in line editing mode. New menu items and command options were added to select versions around a commit and to jump to particular lines. More file types are recognized for syntax highlighting. Several minor bugs were also fixed.
About: ConTagged is a Web-based address book for small companies. It features a public address book which is writable for all company staff and a personal address book for each staff member. Contacts can be grouped and looked up flexibly by assigning tags to them. It requires an existing LDAP server to authenticate users and to store the contact data. Changes: This release fixes several bugs and adds minor features like better error reporting, configurable search fields, callto:// links, and the option to disable private address books.
About: gtkaml is an XML syntax and an XML parser that extends the Vala.Parser and transforms all your XML tags into a valid Gtk+ UI class. It features a compact XML syntax for describing the way Gtk widgets are laid out in a (new) custom widget you're creating. Code "islands" (written in Vala) are used for widget signal handling and other methods/signals/properties that you're introducing. It doesn't depend on an external library at run-time, and it is much more readable than the usual UI boilerplate. Changes: Valacompiler was upgraded to 0.5.2.
About: libv4l is a collection of libraries that adds a thin abstraction layer on top of video4linux2 (V4L2) devices. The purpose of this layer is to make it easy for application writers to support a wide variety of devices without having to write separate code for different devices in the same class. It consists of 3 different libraries. libv4lconvert offers functions to convert from any (known) pixel format to V4l2_PIX_FMT_BGR24 or V4l2_PIX_FMT_YUV420. libv4l1 offers the (deprecated) v4l1 API on top of v4l2 devices, independent of the drivers for those devices supporting v4l1 compatibility (which many v4l2 drivers do not). libv4l2 offers the v4l2 API on top of v4l2 devices, while adding for the application transparent libv4lconvert conversion where necessary. Changes: A nasty bug in the special try_fmt handling for UVC webcams was fixed. Upgrading is therefore recommended. Debug logging was enhanced.
About: Expect-lite is a wrapper for expect, created to make expect programming even easier. The wrapper permits the creation of expect script command files by using special character(s) at the beginning of each line to indicate the expect-lite action. Basic expect-lite scripts can be created by simply cutting and pasting text from a terminal window into a script, and adding '>' ' Changes: This version adds two new features. Based on a user request, User Defined Prompts have been added. This allows the setting of the prompt via a line. Expect-lite has always cooperated well with the bash shell. Now, via a five-line embedded bash script at the top of the expect-lite script, it can become executable with default arguments, and can even take GNU-style long option arguments.
About: The Netty project is an effort to provide an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework and tools for rapid development of maintainable, high-performance, high-scalability protocol servers and clients. In other words, Netty is a NIO client server framework that enables quick and easy development of network applications such as protocol servers and clients. It simplifies and streamlines network programming such as TCP/IP socket servers. Changes: Write buffer overflow prevention was made more robust and configurable. ChannelHandler can now be notified when it's added to or removed from a ChannelPipeline. ChannelGroup has been added to simplify a bulk operation on multiple Channels.
About: Weasel GNU/Linux is a KDE4-centric desktop distribution, using KDE 4.1.0. It is based on rPath Linux 2, which is based on RHEL 5.x. The core distribution is meant to be fairly stable, and the GUI is mostly bleeding-edge. Changes: Several bugs were fixed, including the most critical one that prevented installation from being booted into KDE without kdelibs:devel installed.
About: LibGKSu is a library from the gksu program that provides a simple API for using su and sudo in programs that need to execute tasks as other users. It provides X authentication facilities for running programs in a X session.
About: allocPSA is an online professional services automation solution. allocPSA is a suite of integrated applications designed for services-based organizations. It enables services organizations to improve staff efficiency through increased utilization of productive time, better planning, and integrated knowledge management. Changes: A product sales module was added. Project data may be imported and exported to XML or CSV. Data can be changed (or deleted) across multiple tasks. Time tracking was improved. The task-comment email gateway was improved. Invoices were implemented.
About: Pantheios is a C/C++ logging API library. It offers an optimal combination of complete type-safety, very high efficiency, genericity, and extensibility. It is simple to use and extend, highly portable (platform and compiler independent), and it upholds the C tradition of only paying for what you use. Pantheios supports logging of message statements of arbitrary complexity, consisting of heterogenous types. Pantheios supports filtering of log messages based on severity level. Changes: This release fixes a defect whereby logputs() was not subject to severity filtering. The core/back-end dispatching was refactored so that logputs() calls go directly to the back-end. Three new test projects were added. Some previously deprecated files were removed.
About: APIviz is a JavaDoc doclet which extends the Java standard doclet. It generates comprehensive UML-like class and package diagrams for quick understanding of the overall API structure. Changes: The "-nopackagediagram" option was added, which disables the generation of the package diagram in the Javadoc overview summary page.
About: Pasang Emas is an implementation of Pasang, a traditional two-player board game of Brunei. The game starts with a board full of tokens. The players take turn capturing these tokens. The player with the most tokens wins. Changes: Race conditions that caused the demo to crash were fixed.
About: Fotoxx is a program for improving digital photos. Navigate large image collections using a pageable window of thumbnails. Create HDR (high dynamic range) images by combining bright and dark images to improve detail in both bright and dark areas. Create panoramas by joining overlapped images. Adjust brightness and color intensity independently for different underlying brightness levels. Rotate an image (level a tilted image or turn 90 degrees). Remove red eyes from electronic flash photos. Sharpen, resize, crop, reduce noise, and change color depth. Warp an image by dragging the mouse. Edit tags/keywords and search images by date or tags. Changes: The selected area can be inverted so that subsequent edits modify all but the selected area. "Star" ratings can be assigned to images and you can search for images by star rating. The translation system was converted to use GNU gettext. The user guide was reorganized into a quick guide followed by the large document. A bug in the color-intensity function was corrected. A problem with slow mouse tracking (low graphics performance) was fixed.
