About: feresPost is a Ruby extension that provides the definition of classes and modules devoted to the development of automated post-processing for Nastran or Samcef finite element results. The library allows easy manipulation of finite element models, groups, and results. Efficient post-processing is possible because the time-consuming operations are written in C/C++. Changes: A few bugs were fixed in the reading of Nastran BDF files and Samcef Dat files. A few methods have been renamed. FeResPost is no longer open source.
About: GATE, the Geant4 application for emission tomography, is a package for making it easy to use existing Monte Carlo simulation packages according to the requirements of a simulation. GATE allows the accurate description of time-dependent phenomena such as source or detector movement and source decay kinetics. It includes well-validated physics models, geometry modeling tools accomodating complex scanner geometries, models for detector electronic response, and efficient visualization utilities. Modelling of CT scans and calculation of dose can also be performed using GATE. Changes: Support for wedge volumes was added. Support was added for two new systems: CTscanner and OPET. A new navigator was added for voxelized phantom description to speed up the simulation. An implementation of the fictitious cross section method was added to reduce the computation time. A RecordStepping optimization was added to speed up the tracking. The Mersenne Twister Random engine is now used by default.
About: libHX is a C library that provides deques, arbtrees, option parsing, some string and container manipulation functions, and some cross-OS wrappers to unify access. Changes: The HXmc_ functions now cope with potential memory allocation failures.
About: Redet is a tool for developing and executing regular expressions using any of more than 50 search programs, editors, and programming languages, intended both for developing regular expressions for use elsewhere and as a search tool in its own right. For each program in each locale, a palette showing the available constructs is provided. The properties of each program are determined by runtime tests, which guarantees that they will be correct for the program version and locale. Additional features include persistent history, extensive help, a variety of character entry tools, and the ability to change locale while running. Redet is highly configurable and fully supports Unicode. Changes: The history window now responds properly to resizing. The Unicode character data and ranges have been updated to version 5.1 of the Unicode standard.
About: dlib C++ library is a modern general C++ library with a focus on portability and program correctness. It comes with extensive documentation and thorough debugging modes. The library provides a platform abstraction layer for common tasks such as interfacing with network services, handling threads, and creating graphical user interfaces. Additionally, the library implements many useful algorithms such as data compression routines, linked lists, binary search trees, linear algebra and matrix utilities, machine learning algorithms, XML and general text parsing, and many other general utilities. Changes: This release was focused on fixing bugs and improving usability.
About: str2img is a simple way to display a string of text as an image. The URL is encoded, so spam bots can't easily grab the text from it. A Smarty plugin is also provided.
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: Movie type is reported. .url and .desktop files are also parsed for movie information. The -ignore option and the ignoredir interactive command were added. Nested configuration files are allowed. *.mp4, *.VOB, and VIDEO_TS are recognized as media. A minor speedup was done.
About: QuartzCrystal is an application for rendering Quartz compositions to QuickTime movies and image sequences. It supports third party plugins (using both the official and unofficial API), as well as unsafe patches. It also supports spatial supersampling (antialiasing) and temporal supersampling (motion blur). Changes: Support for temporal supersampling (motion blur) was added. Output to JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and OpenEXR image sequences is supported. French, Italian, German, and Japanese localizations were added. A few minor user interface improvements and bugfixes were made. Users who purchased QuartzCrystal 1.0 are entitled to a free upgrade to version 1.2.
About: Linux LiveCD Hotspot Server is a live CD for WiFi hotspots that features auto-configuration of end users, a splash Web page, and commercial support. It supports both wired and wireless users, pre-paid cards with time limits and support for monthly users, an integrated firewall, and support for external APs or multiple PCI, PCMCIA, or USB WiFi cards per computer. Changes: Minor bugfixes were made to the default configurations. Multiple ISP balancing and bonding drivers were updated.
About: LoL is a Firefox extension that aims to make Web surfing with a keyboard as usable as possible. LoL is a fork of HaH.
About: Ambient Music Player is a light version of Amarok for handheld computers based on the Google Android environment.
About: GNU ccScript offers a class extensible threaded embedded scripting engine for use with the Common C++ GNU package. This engine is also used in Bayonne (the GNU telephony server), and in TOSI (FreeBSD and GNU/Linux PBX integration servers). This engine differs from traditional scripting systems in that it is used to script near real-time state-event systems through deterministic callback step execution rather than the linear and non-deterministic fashion of embedded script libraries such as tcl, and libguile. Changes: The core engine was completely rewritten. Many enhancements were made. The script engine is now lock-free and heap usage has been greatly reduced to maximize performance. Extensive compile-time support has been added to validate scripts.
About: xmonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are arranged automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximising screen use. Window manager features are accessible from the keyboard; a mouse is optional. xmonad is extensible in Haskell, allowing for powerful customisation. Custom layout algorithms, key bindings, and other extensions may be written by the user in config files. Layouts are applied dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each workspace. Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled on several physical screens. Changes: A general purpose replacement for "gaps" has been adopted. Floating windows pop up on the current screen by default. Locale support was added. Many extensions were added, including the ability to write your own configuration parsers.
About: Reverse Snowflake Joins is a tool that parses SQL Select statements and generates a diagram. In addition to joins, the diagram shows parts of the underlying SQL directly in the diagram. For example x=30, GROUP BY (year), SUM(profit), HAVING MIN(age) > 18. Changes: This version now runs on Unix. The GUI was modified to report errors and to display a welcome note (only if it is installed correctly).
About: cfunge is a fast interpreter for the Befunge98 esoteric language. It is standard conforming. Changes: Two new fingerprints were added: SOCK and SCKE. The build system was fixed, so it now works on compilers other than GCC and it has better out of tree build support. There are also some smaller bugfixes.
About: fastcgi++ is a C++ library for developing Web applications in C++ with the FastCGI protocol. This library does not support the old CGI protocol. It effectively manages simultaneous requests without the need for multiple threads. Session data is organized into meaningful data types as opposed to a series of text strings. Internationalization and Unicode support is another priority. The library is templated to allow internal wide character use, while converting down to UTF-8 upon transmission to the client.
About: Pyjamas-Desktop is a cross-platform framework and application widget set, based on WebKit. It is similar to Python-Qt4 and Python-Gtk2, except it is much easier to use and is more powerful. Pyjamas-Desktop allows you to not only create your application with a simple widget set but also to mix in CSS stylesheets, full HTML, load and run Web pages, load plugins that conform to the NSAPI such as Adobe Flash, and execute JavaScript. It is a port of Pyjamas to the desktop, so applications written for Pyjamas can also be run unmodified under Pyjamas-Desktop.
About: Sockso is a personal music server for everyone. It's designed to be as simple as possible so that anyone with a mouse and some MP3s can get their friends listening to their music across the Internet in minutes. Changes: "Related artists" information was added to pages. Unicode support was improved. A Windows indexing bug was fixed (hidden folders are now ignored).
About: SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which provides secure conferencing services in the Internet. It can be used to send any kind of messages, in addition to normal text messages. This includes multimedia messages like images, video, and audio stream. All messages in the SILC network are encrypted and authenticated, and messages can also be digitally signed. SILC protocol supports AES, SHA-1, PKCS#1, PKCS#3, X.509, OpenPGP, and is being developed in the IETF. The software is delivered as SILC Client for end users, SILC Server for system administrators, and SILC Toolkit for application developers. Changes: This version fixes INVITE notify handling, some rare command execution crashes, and other minor bugs.
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: BigInt now caches the significant word count, and the right shift operator was optimized slightly. The public key benchmarks were rewritten to more accurately reflect real world usage and to have a new set of timer options available. A set of larger DSA and MODP groups were added.
About: Sound-Rec-Ed provides simple GUIs to record and edit sound files, similar to operating a tape-deck. Buttons start and stop recording or break incoming audio into separate files. It can cut sections from audio files or join files. It saves files in WAV, OGG, or MP3 format. Changes: Options were added to SoundRec for delaying the start of recording and for limiting the total duration of all recordings. Options were also added to automatically run user specified filter-programs or scripts on each recorded file, as well as to set file sequence numbers to specified ranges.
About: Snd is a sound editor modelled loosely after Emacs. It can accommodate any number of sounds, each with any number of channels. It can be customized and extended using Guile, Ruby, or Forth.
About: Lynis is an auditing tool for Unix (specialists). It scans systems to detect software and security issues. Beside security related information, it will also scan for general system information, installed packages, and possible configuration mistakes. The software aims in assisting automated auditing, software patch management, and vulnerability and malware scanning of Unix based systems. Changes: This release adds support for SELinux, Samba, PAM, and password expire checks. A new option (--tests) is available to run specific audit tests only. Beside the new additions, lots of small issues were solved. Logging, reporting, and screen output were improved.
