The --interactive option has been added for embedded VMs. The compiler can add line information to the generated code to ease debugging. Error locations are more accurate now. Newly implemented SRFIs: 34, 35, 36, and 48. There are some bugfixes.
Pre Make Kit (PMK) aims to be a BSD alternative to GNU autoconf, GNU libtool, and pkg-config. It uses data files instead of scripts to limit the spreading of trojans in software packages. It's designed to be easy to use for users and developers. For better portability and efficiency, all of the components are written in C. Requirements are a POSIX system, a C compiler, a POSIX shell, and a make tool.
Release Notes: A new snapshot with many fixes, polishing, and improvements. The pmkscan tool handles variable substitution. The parsing engine allows list objects to be fragmented on multiple lines.
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: A couple of minor bugs with URL generation and internationalization have been fixed.
ASCIIMathML is a script that converts calculator-style ASCII math notation (and many LaTeX formulas) to Presentation MathML while your Web page loads. It works with HTML and XHTML files in Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape 7+ browsers, as well as in Internet Explorer 6 with MathPlayer. For example, the solutions for the equation 'ax^2+bx+c=0' are expressed in the HTML file as '(-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)', and display as nicely formatted MathML. The script can be easily used in wikiservers and blogs, as a rudimentary MathML editor (with instant preview), and to preview math formulas as they are typed into a Web page input area.
Release Notes:
The Heirloom Toolchest is a collection of standard Unix utilities. It was derived from original Unix material released as open source by Caldera and Sun, and contains multiple versions of each utility corresponding to SVID3/SVR4, SVID4/SVR4.2MP, POSIX.2-1992/SUSV2, POSIX.1-2001/SUSV3, and 4BSD (SVR4 /usr/ucb). It processes lines of arbitrary length and in many cases binary input data, supports characters in UTF-8 and many East Asian encodings, and contains more than 100 individual utilities including bc, cpio, diff, ed, file, find, grep, man, nawk, oawk, pax, ps, sed, sort, spell, and tar. Extensive documentation is included.
Release Notes: The tools were ported to NetBSD, AIX, and FreeBSD 4. 'cat' was fixed to properly work on BSD systems when both input and output are pipes. 'du' does not terminate immediately when it encounters a file system error anymore. 'stty' now supports the '[-]iutf8' mode on Linux.
Yawiki is a powerful Wiki system for collaborative document generation. It supports both anonymous and authenticated users. It uses an AreaMap page to generate a hierarchy of pages and navigational elements. It supports page-level access control lists. There is an optional comment system built-in, as well as RSS feeds for individual public pages.
Release Notes: interwiki_site examples have been added to Yawp.conf-example.php. Pages not on the area map get useful HTML titles now. The default template shows the page title as an H1 tag (when the title is not empty). Full support for free links in content has been added (you still can't use them as AreaMap elements). Hits.php adds "days" and "rate-per-day" columns. An $apiVersion property has been added to yawiki.class.php (read from docs/VERSION). A "Powered by Yawiki" link has been added to the default index.tpl.php. Edit.php now shows the page title in the preview.
mkvtoolnix is a set of tools that allow users to display information about, extract streams from, merge several streams into, and split Matroska media files. Supported video stream types include streams from AVIs, Ogg/OGM, RealVideo, MP4 files, and MPEG program streams as well as verious elementary streams (h264/AVC, MPEG1/2, VC1, Dirac). Supported audio formats include AAC, (E)AC3, DTS/DTS-HD, FLAC, MP2, MP3, RealAudio, and Vorbis. Several subtitle formats are supported, including SRT, SSA, ASS, VobSub, and many others.
Release Notes: OpenDML AVIs created with mencoder were not read correctly. The 'default track' feature was broken in both mkvmerge and mmg. mkvmerge can now read TTA audio files. When using CUE sheets as chapter files, mkvmerge will automatically convert the tags from the CUE sheet into Matroska tags and store them in the output file.
autopackage allows developers to produce "install anywhere" packages for 3rd party Linux software. The resulting packages support both graphical and terminal frontends, support dependency checking and resolution, and use deep desktop integration. Additionally, tools to enhance the packaged software such as binreloc and relaytool are provided. By providing an autopackage, developers can ensure their users always have an easy way of installing the latest release of their software.
Release Notes: A new Qt-based frontend has been contributed. There are visual improvements, many bugfixes (especially with respect to improved distro compatibility and support for recommended dependencies), and a QuickStart guide for packagers. From this point on, the main focus of the work is on bugfixes and compatibility improvements.
MultiMedia Keyboard Controller is a project that will help you to select actions for extra buttons that exist on multimedia keyboards. It also supports mouse gestures.
Release Notes:
deplate converts wiki-like markup to LaTeX (standard classes, koma, dramatist, sweave), HTML/PHP (single page, chunked/website, HTML, or s5-based slideshow), DocBook (article, book, man/ref page), and really plain text. Currently supported input formats are viki and Ruby's rdoc. The viki markup supports footnotes, citations, index, table of contents, embedded LaTeX for mathematics, integration with R for dynamically generated figures and tables, and more. Output can be customized via page templates.
Release Notes: In multi-file output, you can now specify a file name for each section, which makes it easier to set up a whole Web site as a set of HTML slides. New regions: page headers and footers and tables from tab/char-separated data. #to_html and #to_latex methods have been added for using deplate as a Ruby library. There are new command line options to copy CSS files to the destination directory. Some aliases have been introduced for some commands/macros/regions in order to make the naming more consistent. There are some minor changes to how macro arguments are parsed.
Jreepad allows you to store and edit all your little nuggets of text in an incredibly intuitive tree structure. Each "node" on the tree has a plain-text "article" associated with it, meaning that a Jreepad file becomes almost a freeform database, storing all kinds of information. Jreepad is inspired by, and compatible with, the Windows program "Treepad Lite".
Release Notes: This release adds some interface improvements, plus import/export improvements and a new export format, so it's recommended for all users. The OSX-specific bundle has a couple of specific refinements to make it fit more naturally into its environment.
Mantissa is a collection of various mathematical algorithms in Java aimed towards simulation. It features a small set of linear algebra classes, a least squares estimator, some curve fitting classes, several ordinary differential equation integrators (all supporting multiple switching functions and dense output), vectors and rotations in a three dimensional space, algebra-related classes like rational and double polynomials, various orthogonal polynomials, some optimization algorithms using direct search methods, and more.
Release Notes:

UTF8Script provides an additional binary format for Linux: scripts that start with a UTF-8 signature (aka BOM), i.e. with the byte sequence \xef\xbb\xbf#!. This is particularly useful for scripting languages that recognize the BOM, e.g. Python. With Python 2.3 or newer, scripts with the UTF-8 BOM are considered UTF-8 enocded without the need for an addition encoding declaration.
Release Notes:
graphviz is a set of graph drawing tools and libraries. It supports hierarchical and mass-spring drawings; although the tools are scalable, their emphasis is on making very good drawings of reasonably-sized graphs. Package components include batch layout filters and interactive editors for X11, Java, and a TCL/tk extension. The batch filters can be configured as a web visualization service (using GIF and click-maps). Typical applications include display of finite state machines, software diagrams, database schemas, and communication networks.
Release Notes: Thsi release adds a new menu command, selection of an external editor, viewport and DPI support, and online resources in the Help menu. Non-ASCII chars not displaying has been fixed. The about box has been improved. The download size has been reduced (smaller manuals).
CDoF is a Depth-of-Field calculator. It is designed to allow a photographer to set the relevant parameters and get the result as quickly as possible. To that end, the aperture, lens selection, and distance are all set via buttons or sliders, and do not require graffiti inputs.
Release Notes: This release supports toggling between absolute and relative distance. There are minor bugfixes.
Gip is a GNOME application for making IP address-based calculations. For example, it is possible to calculate subnets from a given range of IP addresses. Also, you can display IP addresses in binary format.

Motor is a text-mode integrated programming environment for Linux. It consists of an editor with syntax highlighting, a project manager, a makefile generator, gcc, ctags, gdb, autoconf/automake and grep front-ends. CVS integration is also provided. It allows one to edit, compile, and debug programs without a need to leave the IDE, automatically check in/out files from a CVS repository and import projects into CVS, and generate distribution packages (tar.gz and RPM). The color schemes are customisable.
Release Notes: Information about projects are now stored in each project's directory. Now it's possible to turn off displaying of some symbols in the tag browser dialog. Distribution package definitions in templates now provide additional parameters, e.g. you can specify the target parameter for RPM from the interface directly. Some problems in parsing of the CVS output were fixed. Now it's possible to add multiple files to a project using motor's file selection. A segfault on project creation that used to happen with motor compiled with newer gcc has been fixed. Some problems in the motorsync script have been fixed.
