About: The Adventure-(PHP-)Framework is a Web development framework that helps you design and create object oriented and reusable PHP Web applications. It features a unique DOM model, the generic page controller component, and a set of shipped XML tag libraries to build GUIs based on XML/HTML templates. The framework core contains components like front controller, global benchmark concept, global error handling, and a configuration management class. It includes complete modules like a guestbook, a comment function, and a generic pager. Changes: Since this release, the framework is licensed under the LGPL v3 to enable enterprise users to apply the framework for their closed source or own license products. This release contains additional productivity tools, like the AdvancedLogger, the core:appendnode taglib, and eZ style template translation. Moreover, proven components were refactored. Among these are the FilesystemManager, the AdvancedBBCodeParser and the html:template taglib. This version contains a great number of improvements that ease the programmer's life.
About: Dia is a program for creating diagrams of all kinds. The current version can do UML class diagrams, Entity-Relationship modeling, network diagrams, and much more. The engine is very flexible and dynamically loads diagram-types from disk. It stores diagrams in an XML format, but can read and write a number of different formats. Changes: Text-line rendering in SVG export. Keyboard shortcuts for tools now use shift-alt. Improvement in autogaps for some objects. The .desktop file now has the current version. A change in zoom levels in menus. A check that windows are within bounds before opening. Various compilation-time improvements. UML class improvements in comment and wrapped underlined names. Many bugfixes.
About: Lbzip2 is a Pthreads-based parallel bzip2/bunzip2 filter, passable to GNU tar with the --use-compress-program option. It isn't restricted to regular files on input, nor output. Successful splitting for decompression isn't guaranteed, just very likely (failure is detected). Splitting in both modes and compression itself occur with an approximate 900k block size. On an Athlon-64 X2 6000+, lbzip2 was 92% faster than standard bzip2 when compressing, and 45% faster when decompressing (based on wall clock time). Lbzip2 strives to be portable by requiring UNIX 98 APIs only, besides an unmodified libbz2. Changes: In the multiple-workers decompressor, the tail pointer of the splitter-to-workers queue proved to be private to the splitter. Accordingly, said pointer was eliminated as a shared resource, simplifying the code.
About: dwm is a fast and simple window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiled and floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for the application in use and the task performed. Windows can be tagged with one or multiple tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows that are accordingly tagged. dwm is the little brother of wmii. Changes: This release contains a couple of NOBORDER-related bugfixes, a reimplementation of spawn(), and a new option to grab the X server during window resizing/movement.
About: JOpt.SDK is an automated vehicle routing and dispatching component for both Java/J2SE and .NET. It can solve Travelling Salesman Problems (TSP) and Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems with Time Windows (CVRP,VRPTW). It offers route and transport optimisation with respect to various constraints such as time windows, load capacities, and prescribed itinerary. The component is based on genetic algorithms, and automatically determines an optimized allocation of vehicels to an arbitrary set of orders. Changes: The assisted mode has become the default case. The algorithm has been improved to address a broad range of problem types, and the optimization now always starts with a construction algorithm to create initial solutions. The initial solution is subsequently improved by a second algorithm. Time window support has been added to the mixed fleet construction algorithm.
About: Sutekh is a card collection manager for the game called "Vampire: the Eternal Struggle" (VtES). Card information is stored in an SQL database backend. Current functionality includes parsing information from the official VtES card list and ruling HTML files, exporting of decks to HTML and ARDB XML files, flexible filtering of lists of cards, backing up and restoring of the card database, configurable selection of which card information is displayed, and basic deck analysis. Changes: This release provides some important fixes and new functionality, including fixing reading cards from the White Wolf Web site when starting up and support for exporting decks to Lackey CCG and JOL formats.
About: Threaded-Samba-Scanner scans all available local subnets for Samba hosts and shows their names and IP addresses. The scanner is fast, secure, and easy to use.
About: SmartSVN is a feature-rich and easy-to-use Subversion client. It runs on Linux, Mac OS X, OS/2, Unix, and Windows. In addition to the normal SVN commands like checkout, update, commit, merge, etc., it provides tag and branch handling (no need to deal with URLs just to switch to a different tag or branch), a built-in file compare and conflict solver, and much more. There is no need to install additional tools for handling SVN working copies, like a command line SVN client or a file comparison tool.
About: LibRaw is a library for reading RAW files obtained from digital photo cameras (CRW/CR2, NEF, RAF, DNG, and others). LibRaw is based on the source codes of the dcraw utility, though some of the drawbacks of dcraw have been eliminated. The users of the library are provided with an API to be used when writing their software programs. Changes: Support for new cameras: Canon G10 and 5D Mark II, Leaf AFi 7, Leica D-LUX4, Panasonic FX150 and G1, and Fujifilm IS Pro. Color data has been changed for some cameras: Canon 50D, Nikon D90 and P6000, Panasonic LX3 and FZ28, and Sony A900. A bug in Panasonic .RW2 files processing (affecting only the thread-safe version) has been fixed.
About: The Open Computer Forensics Architecture (OCFA) is a modular computer forensics framework to automate the digital forensic process, to speed up the investigation and give tactical investigators direct access to the seized data through an easy to use search and browse interface. The architecture forms an environment where existing forensic tools and libraries can be easily plugged into the architecture and can thus be made part of the recursive extraction of data and metadata from digital evidence. It aims to be highly modular, robust, fault tolerant, recursive, and scalable in order to be usable in large investigations that spawn numerous terabytes of evidence data and cover hundreds of evidence items. Changes: This release adds routing on evidence global metadata, a Photorec module, and a more comprehensive router rule list. The smarter data store module dsm2 is now the default. makeoverview has been deprecated. dsm1 has been deprecated. staticmounts are no longer the default.
About: Xtwitter is very tiny twitter client for the X Window System. Changes: This release adds a -v option to print the version. It fixes a bug where downloading failed for profile image URLs containing UTF-8 characters.
About: FreeRanger is an electronic field guide implemented as a Java2 Mobile Applet. It can be carried on a smart phone or PDA and used to identify wildlife, minerals, or anything else for which a paper field guide might normally be used.
About: MQSSave is a simple Java program that saves messages read from an MQSeries queue to a file. Changes: Elapsed time computation has been fixed.
About: MQSLoad is a simple program which loads messages read from a file into an MQSeries queue. Changes: A major bug in the Load_File() method has been fixed: all previous MQSLoad versions can corrupt messages during loading. Elapsed time computation has been fixed.
About: Velocity is a Java-based template engine. It permits anyone to use the simple yet powerful template language to reference objects defined in Java code. When Velocity is used for Web development, Web designers can work in parallel with Java programmers to develop Web sites according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) model, meaning that Web page designers can focus solely on creating a site that looks good, and programmers can focus solely on writing top-notch code. Velocity separates Java code from the Web pages, making the web site more maintainable over the long run and providing a viable alternative to Java Server Pages (JSPs) or PHP. Velocity also provides template services for the Turbine Web application framework, making a template service that allows Web applications to be developed according to a true MVC model. Changes: New directives: #evaluate, #define, and #break Vararg method support. List methods can be called on arrays. Major performance enhancements (both memory and speed). A new strict reference mode. Many other changes.
About: MOSIX is a management system targeted for HPC on Linux clusters and multi-clusters. It can be viewed as a multi-cluster operating system. 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.
