About: The eobjects.org MetaModel is a project created for maximum reuse of a SQL 99 compliant domain model of the database domain. The MetaModel is a model that contains classes that represent the structure of a database (schemas, tables, column, relationships) and interaction with the database (queries). In short, it is a model for modelling data in databases and other datastores. With MetaModel you can query different datastores like databases, CSV files, Excel spreadsheets, and XML files using the same approach and the same domain model. Changes: The equals() method of SelectClause had a minor bug related to comparing the distinct property. The Column and Table classes have had a getQualifiedLabel() method added. Similarly, the DataContext offers a getColumn/TableByQualifiedLabel method to retrieve them again. Getters and setters have been added to the SelectItem class.
About: clive-utils is a project that contains additional utilities that can be used together with the clive utility. Changes: This release adds the clivepass utility and reflects the clive project changes by removing Metacafe support from the clivescan utility.
About: Draco is an econometrics and statistics package written with ease of use in mind. The software offers a variety of regressions for econometric analysis, and data is presented in a familiar, spreadsheet-like interface. Draco features data plotting and manipulation as well. It interoperates with common open source formats, including OpenDocument spreadsheets and Scalable Vector Graphics. Changes: Probit Maximum Likelihood Estimator regression has been implemented. A new user preferences panel has been added, allowing for minor user interface changes and the specification of settings for the Draco plugin system. The plugin system has been further enhanced with the introduction of parallel matrix multiply operations for multiprocessor systems. The library used for loading and saving Draco worksheets has been upgraded, providing an order-of-magnitude decrease in file loading times. Minor outstanding bugs have been addressed from version 1.1.
About: clive is a command line utility for extracting videos from Youtube and other video sharing Web sites. It was originally written to bypass the Adobe Flash requirement needed to view the hosted videos. It is non-interactive, meaning it can work in the background while the user is not logged on. This allows the user to start an extraction and disconnect from the system, letting clive finish the work. Changes: This release adds support for the clivepass utility, removes Metacafe support, fixes the Youtube log-in feature, and makes minor tweaks to the source code.
About: GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software suitable for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

About: faceservice.cgi is a CGI program for detecting faces on the Web. You can post an image or an image URL to it, and the program will respond to you with the locations of the faces it has found. faceservice uses the OpenCV library to do the actual detection, libcurl for downloading of images, and libcgicc for the CGI interfacing. It has only been tested to work on Linux.
About: Monster script (or just Monster) is an advanced scripting language made specifically for game development. The language features many new and powerful features, while still aiming first and foremost at increasing productivity and actual usability. The language is especially designed to facilitate game modding and user-generated content and scripts. It is highly object oriented, type safe, bytecode-compiled, and is easily embedded into existing game engines. Changes: A manual linking phase is no longer necessary. Four new types were added: uint, long, ulong and double. Const array references may be made through the new array properties .const and .isConst. The "const" modifier was added for function parameters (for arrays only). Array/string literals are now constants. Memory performance for array literals was improved. Object cloning was implemented. Floating point reminder (%) and integer division (\) operators were added. An incompatibility with DMD 1.032+ was fixed. A "tests" directory was created, and the examples were reorganized. Bugfixes and other improvements were made.
About: Phacter is a Python port of facter, a tool included in Puppet. It provides an inventory of your system and, depending on how it is run, will return this data to stdout or as a Python dict. It is the first part of a project that aims to be a Python-based systems administration framework called Speed (ServersOnSpeed).
About: GWintree is a GEDCOM-based genealogy program. It provides facilities to record, view, edit, and merge data, and to produce charts, family trees, and reports in a range of formats, including HTML. Charts can show all relatives, ancestors only, or descendants only. HTML charts allow you to click on a person in your HTML report to see where they are on the chart. Automatic matching and merging of data between files is supported. Changes: New descendant and ancestor photo charts have been added. Some bugs have been fixed, notably in the descendant sheet chart and on displaying and saving data lists.
About: Back In Time is a simple backup system for the GNOME desktop inspired by the "flyback project" and "TimeVault". The backup is done by taking snapshots of a specified set of directories. All you have to do is configure: where to save snapshot, what directories to backup, and when a backup should be done (manually, every hour, every day, every week, or every month). It acts as a "user mode" backup system. This means that you can backup and restore only folders to which you have write access. Changes: SnapshotsDialog now has a right-click popup menu and a toolbar with copy and restore buttons. A more robust backup lock file is used. Logging is now done through syslog. A small bug in copying to the clipboard was fixed. The Spanish translation was updated.
