About: Akeni Instant Messaging Server Pro is a client/server instant messaging platform that allows companies to host their own secured private IM system. The client has an user interface similar to AIM, ICQ, or MSN Messenger. It supports all the standard IM features such as chat, group conference, presence management, file transfer, offline messages, and emergency alert/notification. Extra features include contact management and optional tabbed chat sessions. The server has advanced administration tools for managing user accounts, client-side logging capabilities, and peer-to-peer file transfers. It can be set up on a private network without connecting to the Internet, and can easily be set up for use inside and outside of the company firewall. Changes: A new user interface and language pack translations were added.
About: The Grace Contribution Manager handles the tracking of contributions and donors for a non-profit organization. It runs on both Linux and Windows. Changes: This release runs on 64-bit Linux and Windows. It includes a number of bugfixes in Linux distributions. It has improved dual-monitor support.
About: Pyfig is a very small and simple configuration file parser. It is written in less than 100 lines, with support for comments and different config formats.
About: PySignup is a simple Web application designed for use as a public sign-up sheet. It is easy to use, install, and configure, and can be configured to meet any public sign-up sheet needs.
About: osgGtk provides widgets that can be used to integrate OpenSceneGraph into Gtk+ and Gtkmm applications by providing subclasses of OSG's Viewer and GraphicsWindow with OpenGL contexts from gtkglext's DrawingArea widget.
About: WebGUI is a content management framework built to allow average business users to build and maintain complex Web sites. It is modular, pluggable, and platform independent. It was designed to allow the people who create the content to manage it online, rather than content management taking up the time of busy IT staff. WebGUI comes with a full host of features including shopping cart, subscriptions, forums, photo galleries, FAQs, link lists, blogs, SQL reports, a Web services interface, and a very configurable user privilege and profiling system. Changes: This release includes fixes and improvements to the shop templates, fixes to the Thingy, and fixes for a variety of other issues.
About: gnoMint is a tool for easily creating and managing certification authorities. It provides fancy visualization of all the pieces of information that pertain to a CA, such as x509 certificates, CSRs, and CRLs. gnoMint is currently capable of managing a CA that emits certificates that are able to authenticate people or machines in VPNs (IPSec or other protocols), secure HTTP communications with SSL/TLS, authenticate and cipher HTTP communications through Web-client certificates, and sign or crypt email messages. Changes: Multiple CA support. Now, each gnoMint database is able to keep and manage several CAs and their generated certificates (even several self-signed CA certificates). Support for 20-byte serial certificates, according to RFC5280. Support for inherit subject fields from certification authorities, depending on each CA policy. Detailed certificate view. A French translation. A default database, ~/.gnomint/default.gnomint, is opened if no other indication is given. Other bugs have been fixed.
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. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, a image format converter, etc.
About: This driver allows the Linux kernel to use the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) network protocol. Using AoE, a Linux system can use AoE block devices like EtherDrive (R) storage blades. The block devices appear as local device nodes (e.g. /dev/etherd/e0.0). Changes: The compatibility system was generalized. Support for the 2.6.26 Linux kernel was added.
About: CleanHome cleans up a user's home directory by analyzing the hidden configuration files and directories ("dot-files") against a collaboratively maintained database. Its pluggable approach makes it easy to develop various extensions. For example, extensions could provide general information about the investigated file or directory or could process a directory in a very special way. For example, it could clean up the browser cache in .mozilla upon the user's request. Changes: This release adds remote upload and retrieval of SimpleDB entries. This is done via the Google App Engine "chome" project. As a side effect, CleanHome has a Web interface for this database (view and submit). The SVN holds the Google App Engine source as well, as the Perl script file releases will just contain the CleanHome program itself.
About: FreeVikings reimplements the DOS game Lost Vikings. Changes: Moving items between directories is now possible both in the traditional way (keyboard; a bit complicated and hard to learn) and using the mouse (simply drag-and-drop). The format of levels has been slightly modified. Some new graphics have been added.
About: NeoOffice is a project that is developing a native Mac OS X port of OpenOffice.org with an Aqua look-and-feel. NeoOffice is under active development and is stable enough for daily use (NeoOffice/C is no longer under development). It provides the foundation upon which the user interface can be redesigned to adhere to the conventions of the Aqua Human Interface Guidelines. Changes: This release fixes several problems related to drawing errors in complex presentations with the recent slideshow speed improvements, including a bug that caused background images to be rendered as black rectangles when exporting to image, a bug where EPS images were not rendered when running slideshows, and an issue where light transparent objects appear dark when running slideshows. The patch also fixes a bug that caused the last character to be clipped when typing in the Calc header dialog and a bug that could allow document-modal dialogs to lose focus.
About: SMILE (Slideshow Maker In Linux Environment) is a rewrite of Manslide. Its function is to create 3D slideshows.
About: deco is a command-line program that, together with the deco-archive package, allows you extract dozens of popular archive file formats. It has a consistent interface ("deco 1.tar.bz2 2.rar 3.zip 4.flac 5.deb") and consistent behavior (never deleting archives after extraction and extracting relative to the current working directory, just verbosely enough, all unless explicitly requested otherwise). It creates an extraction directory if there is more than one file or directory at the archive top level, and it is able to fix strange permissions. Changes: The default archive extractor wrappers have been moved to a separate package, deco-archive; from now on, the deco package only includes the core program. A bug was fixed that caused a temporary directory not to be deleted when creating symbolic links in it failed. The code has been improved.
About: FrontAccounting is a Web-based accounting system for ERP chains. It is multiuser, multilingual, and multicurrency. Changes: A new company logo. GL summaries in Tax Report. The first registered admin (company 0) now becomes 'Global-Admin' for all company admins. Currency selection in the Price Listing Report. Customer Dimension overrides an Item Dimension when creating GL transactions. Better calculation of price diff during PO receive and PO invoice. Elimination of voiding of dangerous items. Replacement of the PDF engine. Full support for Unicode and right-to-left (utf8bidi).
About: LaTeX::Table is a Perl module that provides functionality for an intuitive generation of LaTeX tables for reports or theses. It ships with some predefined, good-looking table styles, and supports multipage tables via the xtab package. Changes: Support for the rotating and tabularx LaTeX packages was added. Some minor bugs have been fixed.
About: pdfposter can be used to create a large poster by building it from multple pages and/or printing it on large media. It expects as input a PDF file, normally printing on a single page. The output is again a PDF file, maybe containing multiple pages together, thus building the poster. The input page will be scaled to obtain the desired size. This is much like poster does for Postscript files, but works with PDF instead, since sometimes poster does not like your files converted from PDF. Indeed, pdfposter was inspired by poster. Changes: This release allows fractions for the width and height of media- and postersize.
About: ESXX, pronounced Essex, is a Web application server that executes Web applications written in JavaScript (a.k.a. ECMAscript) on the server-side. It's written in Java and has no external dependencies except for J2SE 6.0. Everything else that's required is packaged in one single, executable JAR file, ready to be tested in Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, Windows or any other platform where Java 6 is available. Changes: Many bugfixes, some new runtime features, and JMX and MXBean (JConsole/VisualVM) and RHEL/CentOS 4.x support.
About: AgileWiki is meant to create software systems which are fluid, easily configured and can be reorganized on-the-fly to meet ever changing requirements. It includes a COW-based database, the Rolonics programming paradigm, and semantic inferencing. Changes: New up and destroy commands. The sleep command now demonstrates an asynchronous response. A thread pool is now used in place of dedicated threads. The command API now includes the path name of the target. All commands have been rewritten for improved thread safety.
About: deco-archive is a collection of extractor wrappers for the deco file extraction framework. It provides support for dozens of popular archive formats such as tar, rar, and zip. Changes: This is the initial release as a separate package of the extractor wrappers previously included in deco. 7za is now used to extract 7z and tar.7z/t7z archives, because 7zr seems not to support password-protected archives. FLAC archives are extracted with the --keep-foreign-metadata option.
About: QuteCom (formerly WengoPhone) is a multi-platform VoIP client. The GUI is Qt-based, and the Video-over-IP engine is based on the eXosip, oSIP, oRTP, ffmpeg, and libgaim projects. The eXosip module is extended by a phApi module, which implements a high-level, easy-to-use call control API. It supports PC-to-PC voice, video, and chat. One can use a standard SIP service provider such as Wengo to be assigned an incoming number, make calls to PSTN/cell phones, get voice mail, and more. In addition to SIP/SIMPLE QuteCom provides IM functionality using libgaim, so it is compatible with all protocols supported by libgaim.
About: ga-flamoot is a genetic algorithm in Python for evolving programs that write a given string to an allocated dataspace, using a made-up machine language with only 7 instructions and flow reversal.
About: X-CD-Roast is a program-package dedicated to easy CD creation under most Unix-platforms. It combines command line tools like "cdrecord", "cdda2wav", and "mkisofs" into a nice graphical user interface. Changes: This is a small update release to merge in all patches received in past years and to be compatible again with the current version of cdrtools.
About: Apbcdb is a high performance, read-only database library. It provides one API for creating a database and another for looking up values. Apbcdb efficiently supports multiple reading threads or processes.
About: Prelude-LML is a signature-based log analyzer monitoring your log file and received syslog messages for suspicious activity. It handle events generated by a large set of components, including but not limited to: APC Emu, BigIP, Cisco PIX, Clamav, Dell-OM, Grsecurity, Honeyd, ipchains, Netfilter, ipfw, Nokia ipso, Apache ModSecurity, Ms-SQL, Nagios, Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition, NTsyslog, Pam, Portsentry, Postfix, Proftpd, SSH, and others. It is part of Prelude, a hybrid Intrusion Detection framework implementing an open communication layer for use by any security application. Changes: A ModSecurity ruleset rewrite that handles the ModSecurity 2.0 log format. New rulesets for FreeBSD su attempts. An additional format in the default configuration to deal with the Apache error_log file format. Some classification has been normalized: Remote Login and Credentials Change have been introduced. The SSH ruleset has been improved. Automated regression tests on make check.
