mntd 0.4.0
mntd is an automount daemon and shared library written for automatically mounting hotplug devices such as USB sticks, Compact Flash cards, or other mountable devices on Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels. You only have to plug in your hotplug device and wait a little bit. The library can be used for user mode programs that want to be informed when devices are mounted and unmounted. It will use now devfs to get the device changes. So no need for hal and udev any more.
Release Notes: There is a minor HTML bugfix in the documentation. A freshmeat.feed script has been added. udevd and hald code has been removed; it needs devfsd now. Support for kernel 2.4 has been added. An 'mntsend' program has been added (called from devfsd). Documentation for the 2.4 kernel has been added. There are options for each filesystem type, and remount_rd()/ remount_rw() methods for libmnt. The path to external binaries (mount/ umount/killall) is now taken from AC_PATH_PROG. libmnt.h is installed. A Gentoo ebuild has been added to the download directory.

bash programmable completion 20040711
Since v2.04, bash has allowed you to intelligently program and extend its standard completion behavior to achieve complex command lines with just a few keystrokes. Imagine typing ssh [Tab] and being able to complete on hosts from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts files. Or typing man 3 str [Tab] and getting a list of all string handling functions in the UNIX manual. mount system: [Tab] would complete on all exported file-systems from the host called system, while make [Tab] would complete on all targets in Makefile. This project was conceived to produce programmable completion routines for the most common Linux/UNIX commands, reducing the amount of typing sysadmins and programmers need to do on a daily basis.
Release Notes: Use of grep in _filedir_xspec() has been eliminated for better performance. Minor fixes were made to mutt and dpkg completion. Symbolic links are now allowed in /etc/bash_completion.d. insmod and modinfo completion have been enhanced to allow full path names.

Mini vMac 2.3.1

DoubleType 0.1.4
DoubleType is an attempt to make a type designer (font editor) that builds TrueType font files. It is designed with collaborative creation in mind. Unlike other programs that work on a single binary file, DoubleType stores each glyph in a separate text file.
Release Notes: The focus of this release is improvement of the UI. Mode and Action combinations are replaced with icons in a toolbar, like other graphics programs. Unavailable menu items are disabled. Glyph's file name appears in the save menu. The program prompts to save unsaved changes upon exit. Several bugs are fixed, including the problem of not being able to move only one point when two points are at the same location, typeface not being saved after removing a variable, and hint not checking the boundary upon a move.
