OpenOffice.org Tools 1.0
OpenOffice.org Tools is a GUI-based Java program that complements OpenOffice. The tools include a Writer file properties viewer, a modified word counter, and a bibliography converter. The file properties viewer reads, displays, and searches the properties (title, subject, keywords, and comments) of all OpenOffice Word Processor documents in a directory. The view can be customized and auto-loaded on program start-up. The word counter counts words bounded by spaces. This is different from the word count provided by OpenOffice, which counts hyphenated words as more than one word. The bibliography converter imports bibliographic information from BibTeX and OpenOffice files and exports them to a database format supported by OpenOffice to be used as a bibliography database.

Simulum 0.00.02
Simulum deals with different simulations of star movements and their visualizations. At first it looks at the projection and accumulation of star brightness. In actually doing this it distributes stars among a three dimensional figure. To get a nice effect it combines the photographic image production with a moving view point. So the outcome is the visual impression of flying through a star field. Secondly it studies different algorithms of particle movements and clustering. The primary approach uses a combination of Newton's gravitational law, energy, and impulse conservation. At all these stages an highly dynamic view of the processes is able to be produced.

Webcomics Collector 0.5.0
Webcomics Collector is a Python script for downloading webcomics. It is somewhat similar to dailystrips, but with a different approach to getting the strips. Where dailystrips uses dates to generate URLs or regexps, with archive download only being possible with generated URLs (and often not working correctly), collector uses regexps to grab all URLs, and makes it possible to download archives no matter what naming scheme the comic uses.

The rich programming environment can be used to build almost anything, limited only by the developer's imagination.
Release Notes: CHOOSE() was added. CHOOSE() is like PICKRAND(). HELPTEXT() was added to allow easier softcode access to helpfile topics. The guests_channel_alias and public_channel_alias configuration options were added. Locks failed to evaluate properly after a dbref within the lock was targeted by @destroy. The comma, parentheses, dollar-sign, and caret (^) were added to the set of characters escaped by ESCAPE().

The ability to customize the account types was added, which makes the program more adaptable to different countries. A new communication system was added between all the windows, so that when data in one window is updated, all the other windows are automatically updated. Previously, a restart of the program was required to update all windows. Many other minor feature changes and documentation changes were made.

getmail 4.0.0b1
getmail is intended as a simple, secure, and reliable replacement for fetchmail. It retrieves email (either all messages, or only unread messages) from one or more POP3, SPDS, or IMAP4 servers (with or without SSL) for one or more email accounts, and reliably delivers into qmail-style Maildirs, mboxrd files, or through external MDAs (command deliveries) specified on a per-account basis. getmail also has excellent support for domain (multidrop) mailboxes, including delivering messages to different users or destinations based on the envelope recipient address.
Release Notes: Significant new features of getmail 4 include support for POP3, POP3-over-SSL, IMAP, IMAP-over-SSL, and SPDS single-user and multidrop (domain) mail accounts. Installation is done via a standard Python distutils setup.py script. Built-in support for message filtering, better logging, significant new security features, and better cross-platform compatibility were added. There is also much better documentation and various smaller improvements.

Scilab Image Processing Toolbox 20040710
SIP provides image processing, pattern recognition, and computer vision routines for SciLab, a Matlab-like matrix-oriented programming environment. SIP is able to read/write images in almost 90 major formats, including JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, FITS, and TIFF. It includes routines for filtering, segmentation, edge detection, morphology, curvature, fractal dimension, distance transforms, multiscale skeletons, and more.
Release Notes: New functions were added to convert RGB to and from HSV images and colormaps. The Radon transform is now available. Thee C functions were fixed with respect to truecolor images, by using Scilab's new hypermatrix structure. Therefore, this version now works with Scilab 3.0. Many other changes were made, making this a strong candidate for the next SIP stable version.

YSM 2.9.6
YSM (You Sick Me) v7 is an ICQ console client. It was originally meant to run in Linux, but it has been successfully tested in Linux, BSD, Win32, BeOS, and QNX. The client requires no extra libraries, and is written in the C language. YSM is based on the last ICQ protocol version, v7/8.
Release Notes: Support for configurable colors was added. Your favorite color may be chosen for message bodies, nicknames on status changes, and status on status changes. Slaves cycling using the TAB key was fixed, so the cycling is now done alphabetically. A fix was made for readline, so it now looks for inputrc in the default places. A fix was made for the COMMANDSFILE setting, since commands without arguments were being ignored. A crash on the "del" or "delete" command was fixed. Fixes were made for charsets using the getline library.

Alexandria Book Collection Manager 0.3.1
Alexandria is a GNOME application to help manage a book collection. It retrieves book information (including cover pictures) from several online libraries, allows you to search for a book (either by EAN/ISBN, title, authors, or keyword), can import and export data into ONIX, Tellico, and EAN/ISBN-list formats, generates Web pages from your libraries, allows marking your books as loaned, saves data using the YAML format, features an HIG-compliant user interface, shows books in different views that can be filtered or sorted, and handles book rating and notes.
Release Notes: This is a bugfix release. If you are using Alexandria, you should consider upgrading, since a lot of bugs have been discovered and fixed.

shn2make 2.11
shn2make works with sets of SHN or FLAC audio files and the make program to automate the burning of archive and audio CDs, and the encoding of MP3 and Ogg files. It finds the SHN or FLAC files in the current directory and verifies the MD5 checksums. It then looks for the .nfo or .txt file, finds the song names, and matches the songs to the available files. If everything is correct, it outputs the text of a Makefile. The targets of the makefile automate the various tasks that need to be done with SHN and FLAC sets. For example, "make Ogg" will uncompress and then encode all the files in the set to named and tagged Ogg Vorbis files.
Release Notes: When the --keepfilenames option is specified, song names in the NFO file are ignored, and a simple renaming of the SHN or FLAC file names are used for MP3 and Ogg files.
