About: Manent is an algorithmically strong backup and archival program. It features efficient backup to anything that looks like storage. Currently it supports plain filesystems ("directories"), FTP, and SFTP. Planned are Amazon S3, optical disks, and email (SMTP and IMAP). It can work (making progress towards finishing a backup) over a slow and unreliable network. It can offer online access to the contents of the backup. Backed up storage is completely encrypted. Backup is incremental, including changed parts of large files. Moved, renamed, and duplicate files will not require additional storage. Several computers can use the same storage for backup, automatically sharing data. Both very large and very small files are supported efficiently. Manent does not rely on timestamps of the remote system to detect changes. Changes: This release is easier to package. Detection of unexpected containers in the active sequence has been fixed.
About: mkscreens.sh is a small wrapper script around MPlayer and ImageMagick to generate collated thumbnails (a.k.a. "screens") from video streams, similar to the feature found in Media Player Classic. It tries to fit the maximum number of thumbnails of a given pixel width into predefined compound image dimensions. It can handle every seekable video stream that MPlayer can handle (AVI, MPEG, MKV, etc.), including DVD images, in which case it processes the longest title. Changes: This release fixes calculation of the final montage size (grid lines were not properly accounted for).
About: Deliantra is a client for Deliantra game servers. It offers an intuitive user interface for exploring the vast game world, a persistent minimap, powerful macros and keymaps, dialog-based NPC interaction, and easy configuration for the skill, spell, and item system. It is based on Perl, SDL, and OpenGL for high performance on modern systems, and works on both Unix and Windows. Ports to other platforms should be very easy and are underway. Changes: The default resolution was messed up in the last release, and has been fixed. The weight/value autopickup feature has been clarified and fixed. A Mac OS X port is available.
About: Simple Movie Catalog will scan a given directory for movies, query IMDb for info, and generate a catalog in HTML that offers sorting and grouping of found movies by different criteria. Changes: A bug involving DOS (CRLF) config.txt with Cygwin Perl has been fixed.
About: Unix Amiga Delitracker Emulator (UADE) plays most Amiga music file formats by simulating Amiga hardware and software. It plays approximately 200 Amiga music file formats. It provides a command line tool for playing, but it also provides music player plugins for XMMS and Audacious. For other music players, there is a FUSE filesystem that transparently converts Amiga songs to WAV files. Changes: Three new replayers were added, uadefs and uade123 were improved, and several bugs were fixed.

About: LaTeX::Table is a Perl module that provides functionality for an intuitive generation of LaTeX tables. It ships with some predefined, good-looking table styles. This module supports multi-page tables via the xtab LaTeX package. For publication quality tables, it utilizes the booktabs package. It also supports the tabularx package for nicer fixed-width tables. Furthermore, it supports the colortbl package for colored tables optimized for presentations. Changes: This release fixes some bugs in multi-column tables. Data columns can now be formatted like header columns.
About: Cloud User Shell (cush) is a multi-call executable bringing RESTful cloud control to the command line, combining many useful cloud computing utilities into a single executable. It follows the Unix philosophy of writing components that work together, do one thing and do it well, and communicate over text (HTTP) streams. It is also RESTful, clearly delineating the 3 sides of the REST Triangle: verbs (e.g. GET), nouns (e.g. http://samj.net/), and content types (e.g. text/html).
About: Botan is a C++ library of cryptographic algorithms. It includes a wide selection of cryptographic algorithms (including AES, DES, SHA-1, RSA, and DSA, among many others). It also support X.509 certificates and several common certificate-related formats and protocols. It has a high level interface, is easily portable to most systems and compilers, and includes a substantial tutorial and API reference. Changes: A bug in the autoconfiguration logic when using GCC 4.2 or 4.3 on 32-bit systems has been fixed. On ELF systems using the GNU linker, a flag will be set for noexec stack in the x86 and x86-64 assembly code.
About: DJ Native Swing allows you to easily integrate some native components into Swing applications, and provides some native utilities to enhance Swing's APIs. The main focus is the integration of a native Web browser and Flash Player using a Swing-like API. All the threading issues and general integration headaches are handled automatically. It uses SWT under the hood, and thus should work everywhere SWT can be placed inside a Swing component. Changes: The library is now split into a framework library and its SWT-based implementation. This allows one to integrate any other native components (generally embedded in Canvas classes).
About: gosmore is a program to view, search, and route using openstreetmap data. Changes: Prepackaged data for nearly all countries is now provided. Translations are now provided, turn restrictions are supported, the map view can rotate, large files are supported, and basic edits are possible. Furthermore, many bugs have been fixed, and the new version has successfully been tested on many devices.
About: s3d is a 3D network display server which can be used as a 3D desktop environment. Changes: GLUT-specific parts were removed from the server. The server will generate mipmaps for textures. SHM connected server and clients will now share their texture buffers over shm. Clients will only send update notices to inform the server. s3dosm is now OSM API 0.5 compatible. There are now C++ compatible API headers (no ABI changes). Various bugs have been fixed.
About: CVSChangelogBuilder is a utility to generate change logs for a project hosted on a CVS server. The main goal is to provide a better output than the 'cvs log' command, adding the choice of sorting criteria, the status of the change (added, removed, and modified), and to allow 'differential' change logs.
About: mplayer-tools is a collection of CLI tools for MPlayer users. You can record and timeshift easily from your TV tuner. It also remembers movies and positions, so you can resume a movie with a short command. It has support for movie series and many more features. Changes: Enhanced CPU usage detection to support SMP. The profile script has been updated to be sh compatible. knotify is automatically started if needed. mcatcher has been fixed to not save the movie name when playing live streams and autosave_position is on (which caused cdm to do an infinite loop).
About: Urd is a Web-based Usenet binary download manager. It stores the newsgroup information in a MySQL database and aggregates the articles into sets of a single download (e.g. one album or movie). The Web interface can be used to search with regular expressions. It uses its own downloading daemon that has support for scheduling downloads and updating databases. Changes: Many bugs have been fixed. Extended set info has been added. The ability to share set info with other users has been added.
About: Advanced Web Statistics (AWStats) is a free powerful Web server logfile analyzer (Perl script) that shows you all your Web statistics including visits, unique visitors, pages, hits, rush hours, search engines, keywords used to find your site, robots, broken links, and more. It works with both IIS 5.0+ and Apache Web server log files as a CGI and/or from the command line. It also supports multiple languages including English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, German, Polish, and Greek.
About: Linux LiveCD Router turns any old PC into a router, firewall, QoS traffic control, and VPN appliance and lets you speed up your Internet connection. It does not require installation and supports inexpensive hardware such as USB and PCMCIA WiFi and Ethernet cards. Changes: Wondershaper, Iproute2, and QoS modules bugfixes.
About: The EnergyMech is an advanced IRC bot. It has many features including a DCC party line, powerful user list handling, a telnet console, bot linking, and more. Changes: The DNS query recursion flag was set incorrectly, causing long loops of trying to resolve host names. This has been fixed.
About: Paco (pacKAGE oRGANIZER) is a simple, yet powerful tool to aid package management when installing programs from source code. It uses the LD_PRELOAD method to track package installations, and provides various options to keep the installed software organized. It's mainly a command line application but it has also an optional GTKMM interface. Changes: Some changes in the user interface of gpaco have been made. Gpaco requires gtkmm 2.12 or higher now. There are no changes in the command line interface.
About: UMLGraph facilitates the declarative specification and drawing of UML class and sequence diagrams. One can specify a class design using the Java syntax complemented by Javadoc tags. Running the UmlGraph doclet on the specification generates a Graphviz diagram specification that can be automatically processed to create Postscript, GIF, SVG, JPEG, fig, or Framemaker drawings. Similarly, sequence diagrams are specified using declarative pic macros and compiled with the GNU plotutils pic2plot program into a PNG, PNM, (pseudo) GIF, SVG, AI, Postscript, CGM, FIG, PCL, HPGL, Regis, or TEK drawing. Changes: This version has active classes appearing with a double vertical border as required by UML2, two new class diagram options that control the node and rank separation of the nodes in generated diagram layout, support for showing a class's title as a tooltip in image files, and an option for generating Javascript-collapsible UML diagrams in Javadoc files.
About: plus4emu is a portable emulator of the Commodore Plus/4 computer. It supports Windows and POSIX platforms (32 bit Windows, 32 and 64 bit Linux, and Mac OS X have been tested). It implements accurate, high quality hardware emulation, but the system requirements are higher than that of most other emulators. Changes: This release adds a C interface that allows using the emulator as a shared library in other programs. It implements IEC level MPS-801 printer emulation. A new button has been added to the debugger GUI to break only when a branch is taken. There is more accurate PAL emulation. An LED display is now also implemented for IEC level drive emulation. All required ROM images are included with the emulator package. A bug in the 'Step over' function of the debugger has been fixed. Support for D64 error information has been fixed/improved. Many improvements have been made to the 'compress' utility. There are various minor bugfixes and optimizations.
About: MyIpTrack is a PHP script that allows you to store the IP addresses with which you connect to the Internet. It stores such information on a text file. The information stored are the IP address, date and time, and some notes. This is useful if you connect to the Internet with many different providers (wireless networks, Internet cafes, etc.) and you want to keep track of all the IPs you've used (and date and time). You can also fill some notes for each such record. MyIpTrack only needs a Web server with PHP; it stores the information in a text file.
About: Talend Open Studio is an ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) tool. Talend Open Studio can perform jobs that range from datawarehouse feeding to database synchronization, as well as file format transformations. Its graphical interface is made with Eclipse RCP, and data related scripts are generated in Perl or Java. The application was designed to be extended with components written by users. Changes: A JDBC metadata wizard was added. The ability to drag and drop metadata onto a component was added.
About: PyDNS provides a module for performing general DNS queries from python applications. Applications can retrieve any kind of DNS record, not just look up hostnames and IP addresses. Changes: Support for IPv6 nameservers. A fix for TCP timeout. Randomizes the TID and source port.
About: TextTest is a tool for automatic text-based functional testing. This means running a batch-mode executable in lots of different ways from the command line, and using the text output produced as a means of controlling the behavior of that application. Changes: This release cleans up a few bugs from 3.12, as well as a handful of older bugs. Nothing very serious was fixed; mostly in the functionality for reconnecting the UI to previous batch runs.
