About: MOSIX is a management system targeted for high performance computing on Linux clusters and multi-cluster organizational grids. In MOSIX, there is no need to modify or link applications with any library, copy files or login to remote nodes, or even assign processes to different nodes. It is all done automatically, similar to a single computer with multiple processors; just fork and forget. Changes: This release is for openSUSE 11.0. It includes both 32-bit and 64-bit RPMs and both regular and Xen kernels.
About: Localizer is a Zope product that provides a set of facilities to develop multilingual Web applications. It offers solutions to internationalize user interfaces and manage multilingual content. Changes: This release includes compatibility fixes for Zope 2.10/2.11 and other minor fixes.
About: GOsa² provides a powerful framework for managing accounts and systems in LDAP databases. Using GOsa² allows system administrators to easily manage users and groups, fat and thin clients, applications, phones and faxes, mail distribution lists, and many other parameters. In conjunction with FAI (Fully Automatic Installation), GOsa² allows the highly automated installation of preconfigured systems. GOsa² therefore provides a single, LDAP-based point of administration for large and small environments, thus making the administration of users and systems and all related parameters manageable and easy. Changes: This release makes the ACL editor more robust, fixes a problem with self-service ACLs, fixes a bug when saving departments, and avoids a possible removal of non GOsa users. The setup has been improved to detect administrative users from earlier versions.
About: pulpTunes is a Web server for the iTunes, letting you access your music through the Web. It runs on Windows and Mac, and even any other platform like Linux, provided you have an iTunes-like XML library file that points at the path of your music files. Changes: Support for AAC (.m4a) files, a redesigned client-side user interface, and the ability to show a song's cover art. On Windows and Mac OS X, the server attempts to find the iTunes XML config file. At startup, it is checked if the firewall/router allows for incoming connections. If not, a link to portforward.com is shown for help. The minimum Java version required is now 1.5 (used to be 1.6). Memory consumption was vastly reduced. An incompatibility with reverse proxy servers was fixed along with a performance problem with the Party Shuffle and concurrency problems.
About: JExpress is a cross platform Java installer builder. JExpress generates native installers on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It installs the exact version of the JVM you want and also configures your customers' machines to launch your Java application from a native executable on Windows and Mac OS X. You customize your installer, updater, and uninstaller using Java. Installers can be designed with multiple install types or components. An installer can be created quickly with a simple wizard or a powerful advanced interface. Changes: Spanish translations were improved. The example Ant build files were changed to reference JExpressAdvanced. The URL for the table of contents was updated.
About: TCExam is Web-based assessment software for generating and managing online tests and exams. It simplifies the exam cycle, including generation, execution, evaluation, presentation, and archiving. Changes: This version includes several bugfixes, updated translations, and minor improvements.
About: Renoise is a contemporary digital audio workstation (DAW) based upon the heritage and development of tracker software. Its primary use is the composition of music using samples (in WAV, AIFF, FLAC, Ogg, and MP3 format), and MIDI sequencing of VSTi soft synths. Changes: This release features Timing and Precision, Plug-in Delay Compensation (PDC), Audio Units, improved VST/LADSPA plugin support, high-precision filters, drag and drop, quantization, a bigger disk browser, an improved plug-in browser, Windows clipboard integration, improved audio latency when recording, optimizations, GUI improvements, and more.
About: Nulog2 is a complete rewrite of Nulog, the historical filtering log analysis solution from INL. It is an application built upon Twisted, an advanced Python framework. It analyzes logs from Netfilter and/or NuFW and displays them on a Web page. Changes: This release adds support for the pgsql database and CIDR mask filter in the search function. It also fixes some bugs.
About: mp_doccer is a tool that travels C code files, and extracts specially marked information to build documentation. This documentation can be generated in HTML, man pages, or an executable shell script. The markup is very similar to that in the Linux 2.4.x kernel sources. mp_doccer is a component of the Minimum Profit Text Editor. Changes: This release includes a new output format (Grutatxt) and a new option to set the abstract of the generated document.
About: TCPDF is a PHP class for generating PDF documents without requiring external extensions. TCPDF supports all ISO page formats and custom page formats, custom margins and units of measure, UTF-8 Unicode, RTL languages, HTML, barcodes, TrueTypeUnicode, TrueType, OpenType, Type1, and CID-0 fonts, images, graphic functions, clipping, bookmarks, JavaScript, forms, page compression, and encryption. Changes: This version includes support for PNG alpha channel (transparency) and fixes several font-related issues.
About: GiftedMotion is a small and easy-to-use GIF animator. If you need a simple way to turn a series of still images into an animation to be displayed on a Web page without the hassle of learning how to use a full-blown graphics suite, then GiftedMotion is probably the tool for you. Changes: The ability to save a complete sequence as single images was added again.
About: Music Box is a handy database for your music files. If you have a large collection of them, it will help you to organize and keep them in order. Tracks can be grouped by artist, album, genre, volume, or category. Tracks can be organized into as many categories and subcategories as you need. A search function allows you to find the CD or DVD on which you stored your tracks. Music Box reads and edits the metadata information of the tracks (ID3 tags, iTunes AAC tags, etc.). The MP3, AAC, MP4, Ogg Vorbis, Monkey's Audio, and FLAC formats are supported. Music Box's data can be exported to HTML, text, or XML. Changes: When deleting a track, orphan albums/artists/volumes (i.e. those without any related track left) will be removed from the database.
About: Netmem is a client-server software that manages chunks of memory in a transactional way. The server allocates memory and then listens on a socket for the client, which can use these pieces of memory (through read, lock, and unlock operations). It is useful for cluster applications that need a quickly accessible shared space of memory across the network.
About: Socklib is a C library that provides a selection of socket functions. Changes: A new read_from_tcp_socket function has been added to allow generic reads from a TCP socket.
About: The GNOME NetworkManager is a set of co-operative tools that make networking simple and straightforward. Whether wireless or wired, NetworkManager allows you to quickly move from one network to another: once a network has been configured and joined once, it can be detected and re-joined automatically at a later date. It was designed to auto-detect as much information as possible, seamlessly switches connections when necessary, and provides immediate feedback of the network state to users and applications. It utilizes D-Bus and HAL. Changes: Support was added for multiple active devices, for Internet connection sharing, for many mobile broadband devices, for full static IPs, and for boot-time connections (with no logins required). Connections were made more reliable. A rich, flexible D-Bus API was added. Many other enhancements and fixes were made.
About: NFS-GANESHA is a user-space NFSv2, NFSv3, and NFSv4 server. It runs on Linux, BSD variants, and POSIX-compliant Unixes. Changes: The code was cleaned up in the datacache. NFS protocol compliance bugs were found with SpecSFS bench and fixed. The optional module, MFSL (Middle File System Layer), was added. This will allow new features like metadata writeback in the future.
About: pytemplate is a small project intending to give Python developers a starting framework. It allows them to properly create scripts without struggling with configuration files and logging properties development. These are already available through a main class that the new script will inherit. Changes: The template uses optparse to create new available options directly from the script that imports the pytemplate module. It means that the pytemplate core file does not have to be changed anymore and might be installed as a public or private distributed Python module. RPM and deb packages are available.
About: OBM is a groupware, email, LDAP, Windows PDC, CRM, and project management application. It is mainly used as an Exchange or Notes/Domino groupware and mail server replacement, as an LDAP directory, as a Windows PDC, as a contact and customer database, as a project management tool, or as any combination of these functions. It provides groupware (calendars, contacts, and tasks) connectors for Outlook, Thunderbird/Lightning, and PDAs. It supports internationalization and themes. It is highly scalable, and is used by sites from five to many thousands of users. Changes: Event participation notifications were sent twice. A SQL bug was fixed on event insertion with resource. Improvements and fixes were made on event alerts. Other fixes and small improvements were made.
About: Filefunc is a C library that gives access to a set of simple functions for reading and writing ints and strings to a file. Changes: This new version now includes wrappers for open, close, fopen, and fclose.
About: Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among others, it offers support for on-demand disk buffering, reliable syslog over TCP, SSL, TLS, and RELP, writing to databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and many more), email alerting, fully configurable output formats (including high-precision timestamps), the ability to filter on any part of the syslog message, on-the-wire message compression, and the ability to convert text files to syslog. It is a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and able to work with the same configuration file syntax. Changes: Most importantly, this version addresses a security vulnerability that renders the $AllowedSender directive useless. See the project homepage for the security advisory. This release also contains some bugfixes, including a memory leak that could cause real trouble in environments that use TLS, as well as some very small enhancements. All users are advised to update to this release.
About: Q7Z is an archiving tool that can update existing archives quickly, backup a folder to a storage location, create or extract a protected archive, and increase efficiency by using archiving profiles. Changes: The program now looks beneath "~/.config/" for "Lists" and "Profiles". The makefile now checks for the existence of dependencies. Initial integration was added for the context menus in Gnome and Xfce. The documentation is now available in HTML. Support for Dolphin and Konqueror in KDE4 was improved. KDE 3 is no longer officially supported. UDF, XAR, LZMA, and DMG/HFS archives are now recognized for extraction. A new Qt 4.4 event-loop limitation was worked around for cron jobs. The dependencies were raised to Qt 4.4.1 and PyQt 4.4.3 due to bugs in earlier versions.
About: DynaStop is a utility to examine IPv4 based addresses for Exim and procmail for the purpose of filtering based upon patterns defined by the administrator. This can be a pivotal factor in email filtering and server load management, since dynamic IP addresses are typically used for dial-up, DHCP, and DSL accounts. All of which have a designated mail exchange server through which all outbound mail flows as defined with many, if not most, large Internet service providers. Changes: The following example configuration files were updated: BleedingThreats, WhiteList, VirusList, and UnsubList.
About: Porcupine is a Web application server that provides front-end and back-end revolutionary technologies for building modern data-centric Web 2.0 applications. Changes: This release includes the brand new version of QuiX that supports the latest releases of Firefox, Safari, and Chrome browsers with an enhanced list view widget implementation and a new effects module.
About: Zina is a graphical interface to your MP3 collection, a personal jukebox, a Podcaster, and an MP3 streamer. It can run alone, be embedded into an existing Web site, or be used as a module in Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress, Xoops, and others. Changes: This release adds support for the PHP mysqli extension. Zina's output should now also validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict. Some minor bugs were also fixed.
About: SquirrelMail is a standards-based Webmail package. It includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and all pages are rendered in pure HTML 4.0 for maximum compatibility across browsers. It has very few requirements, and is very easy to configure and install. It has all the functionality you would want from an email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder manipulation. Changes: White space wrapping of auto-generated SquirrelMail option widgets may now be controlled. Matching of alternate identities when replying was fixed. HTTPS detection under Windows IIS was fixed, as it was incorrectly setting cookies to be transmitted only over a secure connections when none existed. An XSS exploit in hyperlinks when rendering messages was fixed.
