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.

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: 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.
