AcpiTool 0.2.1
AcpiTool is a Linux ACPI client. It's a small command line application, intended to be a replacement for the apm tool. The primary target audience are laptop users, since these people are most interested in things like battery status, thermal status and the ability to suspend (sleep mode). The program simply accesses the /proc/acpi or /sysfs entries to get or set ACPI values. A computer running a Linux kernel from the 2.4.x or 2.6.x series with ACPI enabled is needed. It also supports various extensions for Toshiba, Asus, and IBM Thinkpad laptops.

Bogofilter is designed with fast algorithms (including Berkeley DB system), coded directly in C, and tuned for speed, so it can be used for production by sites that process a lot of mail.
Release Notes: The format placeholders have changed again. %I is now the Message-ID (the IP address is now printed by %A) and %Q is the queue ID. Several build/check bugs have been fixed. The obsolete -f, -g, and -r options have been removed from bogofilter. Bugs in handling multiple wordlists have been fixed. The documentation has been updated.

NetSQUID 1.3
NetSQUID is a Perl script (daemon) that sits in between Snort and IPTables. It gathers alerts generated by Snort, then automatically creates an IPTables firewall entry to block the alerting host (such as those infected by viruses). Web traffic is redirected to a Web server that can alert the user to the infection. The host is automatically unblocked after a specified time. It can also send DHCP address requests, so rogue DHCP servers can be detected by Snort.
Release Notes: There are a few minor changes and some code cleanup. DNS rules to also allow TCP for things like zone transfers and hosts with large DNS records have been added.

SRR Kernel Module 1.4.16
The SRR Module (srripc) is a synchronous message-passing module for the Linux kernel versions 2.2.x, 2.4.x, and 2.6.x. This module provides synchronous message passing among processes and threads, queued asynchronous event notification (proxies), timed delivery of proxies and signals, triggering of proxies between tasks, and user-space interrupt handling. Synchronous message passing is a fast, flexible, and robust IPC mechanism, particularly useful for building modular systems. The SRR Module installs automatically and provides an API that allows for porting of applications between QNX and Linux.
Release Notes: Fixes to support 2.6 kernels with work tasks instead of tasklets. Tasklets cannot be used because they cause their bottom half handlers to run at interrupt time, which is a race. All code relating to tasklets has been removed.

Release Notes: Support for button input types was added for completeness. The custom input base class provides a default implementation of setting the Format, SubForm, and Accessible properties to reduce the effort of implementing new custom input classes. Support for propagating the Accessible and SubForm properties to children inputs of custom input types was added.

Scilab 3.0
Scilab is a numerical computation system similiar to Matlab or Simulink. Scilab includes hundreds of mathematical functions, and programs from various languages (such as C or Fortran) can be added interactively. It has sophisticated data structures (including lists, polynomials, rational functions, and linear systems), an interpreter, and a high-level programming language. Scilab has been designed to be an open system where the user can define new data types and operations on these data types by using overloading. A number of toolboxes are available with the system.
Release Notes: The new object-oriented graphics were improved and are now standard. For instance, 3D surfaces are taken into account, 2D plots can be mapped into 3D plots, and there is a graphics editor to modify the properties of the objects. The Matlab to Scilab converter has been completely rewritten and improved. The Windows version is much faster and more stable, and the Linux version may be built using GTK 2. Other features include a new and fast implementation of hypermatrices, a library of 1D, 2D, and 3D interpolation functions, and improvements to Scipad.

WebGUI 6.1.0
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.
Release Notes: This release is focused on performance and scalability. Some of the new features are support for replicated databases, a new faster page tree system, template caching, and a whole new internationalization and help system. Overall, most users should notice that pages load around 2 times faster than before. Administrators will notice that WebGUI processes use slightly less memory, but more of the memory is shared. Also, administrators will have a much easier time scaling WebGUI up to support very large sites.
