About: Agenda XML is a simple project time tracker for Gnome and Kde. It places itself in the notification bar and keeps data in a readable XML file in the user's home directory. Changes: This release adds profiles, profile management from the tray menu, a new activity log file, and a new Current Project Graph option. Icon tray tooltip text now includes the profile name. A bug that crashed the app when changing the selected project from the icon tray menu has been fixed. The input box has been changed to a custom form (due to a bug in Gambas, it looked ugly).
About: dhcpcd is an RFC2131 compliant DHCP client. It is fully featured and yet lightweight: the binary is 46k as reported by size(1) on Linux i386. It has support for duplicate address detection, IPv4LL, carrier detection, and a merged resolv.conf and ntp.conf for which other DHCP clients require third party tools. Changes: This release fixes the flapping interface link clearing timer. This release warns correctly if there is not a monotonic clock. Host routes are now correctly added and removed on BSD systems. Subnet routes with metrics have a source address on Linux systems.
About: SimCList is a high quality C library (that is C++ embeddable) for handling lists. It exploits several advanced techniques for improving performance, including freelists, sentinels, automatic sort algorithm selection, sort randomization, mid pointer, and optional multithreading. The API is simple but powerful, makes elegant and consistent use of information hiding, abstracts the actual data type to store, and is fairly complete. The library itself makes a good compromise between performance in terms of time and space, and is well documented. Changes: There are some interface changes. _restore*() and _dump*() functions now write the length in arguments. list_seek() no longer returns a constant reference. Decorate with "restrict" qualifiers => now requires C99 support from the compiler. There are minor improvements in the documentation.
About: dstat is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat, netstat, nfsstat, and ifstat. It includes various counters (in separate plugins) and allows you to select and view all of your system resources instantly; you can, for example, compare disk usage in combination with interrupts from your IDE controller, or compare the network bandwidth numbers directly with the disk throughput (in the same interval). Changes: This release adds new plugins for counters with respect to open files, inodes, sockets, asynchronous I/O, pagefaults, and completed I/O requests. It adds a --list option to list all available plugins. It adds a VMware guest memctl plugin.
About: myarray is a simple little library that implements arbitrarily-sized homogeneous arrays, meaning that they can only store one type of element each. This type is specified by the programmer whenever an array is created. It was made to resemble GLib's GArray, so its usage should be similar.
About: MobileMpd.Net is a small program that can be used to control a MPD (Music Player Daemon) server using a WiFi enabled Windows Mobile device. The software supports the start, stop, next, prev, repeat, and random functions, volume control, playlist addition and removal, and a music directory treeview. Changes: In this release, a problem was fixed that crashed the program when the stop button was pressed twice.
About: Shed Skin is an experimental (restricted-)Python-to-C++ compiler. It accepts pure but implicitly statically typed Python programs and generates optimized C++ code. The result can be further compiled to stand-alone programs or extension modules. For a set of 16 non-trivial test programs, measurements show a typical speedup of 2-40 over Psyco, about 10 on average, and 2-220 over CPython, about 35 on average. Not all Python features are supported, and only a subset of about 17 library modules, such as re and random. Changes: User-defined class support in extension modules. Very fast set implementation (FFAO). Complex number support. Many string formatting improvements. None maps to NULL instead of 0, and prints as 'None'. re.match_object.group accepts multiple arguments. Casting improvements. Inheritance from builtin exceptions other than Exception. Hashing None should work now. An important type inference fix, and many other bugfixes.
About: Deluge is a full-featured BitTorrent client. It features a rich plugin collection and was created with the intention of being lightweight and unobtrusive. It works well under any desktop environment. Changes: Some minor bugfixes all around, and many improvements to the build system.
About: The Mesh Viewer is an easy-to-use, lightweight application for displaying three dimensional models (triangular meshes) from a variety of file formats. It uses OpenGL to render the models. Triangular meshes can be displayed texture mapped (with optional bilinear filtering), solid, or as a wire frame (all lines or just the front lines). Loaded models can be rotated, translated, and scaled (all done with the mouse). The model is lighted by multiple light sources. Viewpoints can be saved. Changes: This release features support for new 3D file formats, qmake support, several minor enhancements (bounding box, mouse wheel support, etc.), and some bugfixes.
About: ERDmpd is an interface to the mpc command line utility to control the MPD audio server. It should work anywhere MPD and mpc can run. Changes: This release has changed all files, and is now showing MPD responses on the browser screen. The app name is now set in the hrl include file.
About: Octopussy is a solution to manage your logs (also frequently called a SIM/SEM/SIEM Solution). Basically, it stores your logs, produces reports, and raises alerts. Changes: A major bug has been fixed in octo_dispatcher. The 'apache2 restart' bug has been fixed. You can now limit the number of minutes to search for restricted users. Some minor WebUI improvements have been made.
About: ferm is a tool to maintain and setup complicated firewall rules. It allows one to reduce the tedious task of carefully inserting rules and chains, thus enabling the firewall administrator to spend more time on developing good rules, and less time on the proper implementation of those rules. These rules will be executed by the preferred kernel interface, such as ipchains and iptables, and in one pass. Firewall rules can also be split into different files and loaded at will. Changes: This release enables policy-only domains. It doesn't list custom chains in --flush --fast mode.
About: The AVR Eclipse Plugin is a multi-platform plugin for the powerful Eclipse IDE, and supports the development of applications for the Atmel AVR series of 8-bit embedded microcontrollers. It integrates the avr-gcc toolchain in Eclipse, and has many features to make life for the AVR developer easier.
About: I2P is an anonymizing network, offering a simple layer that identity-sensitive applications can use to securely communicate. All data is wrapped with several layers of encryption, and the network is both distributed and dynamic, with no trusted parties. Changes: This release introduces new components, drops some old ones (like the old TCP transport), and has been optimized to perform better. The BOB (Basic Open Bridge) protocol is introduced, for use by client applications that cannot import I2CP libraries directly. This deprecates the old SAM protocol that was previously used in such cases. Improved code should be better at preventing congestion.
About: Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a user interface almost identical to the one of bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution. Changes: Lzgrep, a grep wrapper for gzip, bzip2, and lzip compressed files, has been added to the distribution.
About: Tunguska is a computer emulator and virtual machine that uses numerical base three (ternary) number system for its lowest-level operations instead of the commonly used base two (binary) number system. Its goal is to provide a useful experimental platform, on par with early personal computers. Changes: The main goal of this release is to introduce 3CC, a compiler for a C-like language that compiles into tunguska assembly code. This release also adds various instructions for easily available 12 trit arithmetic, and a Windows port through Cygwin.
About: Gammu (formerly known as MyGnokii2) is a cellular manager for various mobile phones/modems. It supports a wide variety of Nokia, Symbian, and AT devices (Siemens, Alcatel, Falcom, WaveCom, IPAQ, Samsung, SE, and others) over cables, infrared, or BlueTooth. It contains libraries with functions for ringtones, phonebook, SMS, logos, WAP, date/time, alarm, calls, and more (used by external applications like Wammu). It also includes a command line utility that can make many things (including backups) and an SMS gateway with full MySQL and PostgreSQL support from the PHP interface. Changes: This time most fixes are in the build system area, especially now that it is possible to compile Gammu using Borland C++ 5.5. The author's hacks for cross-compilation to Windows on Linux have been dropped in favour of cross-compilation features in CMake 2.6.
About: Utils is a C library that provides a set of basic utilities.
About: Strfunc is a C library that contains a collection of string based functions.
About: Stackbuf is a C library that provides a stack-implemented buffer which can be used for temporary storage, processing, or string formatting.
About: Socklib is a C library that provides a selection of socket functions.
About: Scheduler is a C library that provides function execution based on time, in the style of cron or at.
About: Random is a C library that provides a selection of random number generation functions.
About: Logfile is a C library that provides a basic logging function.
About: History is a C library that provides functions for retaining histories.
