Exiv2 0.4
Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command line utility for managing image metadata. It provides fast and easy read and write access to the Exif, IPTC, and XMP metadata of images in many formats. The Exiv2 command line utility prints Exif, IPTC, and XMP metadata including Makernote tags in various formats, adjusts Exif timestamps, renames images according to the Exif timestamp, extracts and inserts Exif, IPTC, and XMP metadata and JPEG comments, or deletes the thumbnail or a specific type of metadata from an image.
Release Notes: This release adds support for three different Nikon makernote formats to the Exiv2 library. The generalized IfdMakerNote interface can accommodate more makernote oddities and allows for programmatic detection of the makernote format. The library now knows how to deal with broken IFDs. The Exiv2 utility uses a more intuitive and less rigid command line parsing logic, and the summary print output includes Nikon makernote values for ISO Speed, Quality, and WhiteBalance, if available.

amavisd-new 20040701
amavisd-new is a high-performance and reliable interface between MTAs and one or more content checkers, including virus scanners, and/or the Mail::SpamAssassin Perl module. It talks to an MTA via (E)SMTP or LMTP, or by using helper programs. No timing gaps exist in the design, which could cause a mail loss. It is normally positioned at or near a central mailer, not necessarily where the user's mailboxes and final delivery takes place.
Release Notes: This major version brings a year's worth of new features, with security and robustness enhancements. Restructured mail representation enables more flexible control over 'banned' names. Sets of configuration variables known as 'policy banks' allow dynamic switching between settings, e.g. based on SMTP client IP address. Soft black/white-listing adds score points based on recipient's grading of sender. Defanging can wrap the entire infected or spam email in a MIME container, preprending a warning. Updates a set of SNMP-style counters and makes them available for statistics purposes.

There have also been minor additions of features, like new checks in the bt_config module, and "destdir" support during installation of packages. Multiple bugs have been fixed and some details have been cleaned up (the default directory names don't have the version hardcoded in them any more).

QjackCtl 0.2.9
QjackCtl is a simple Qt application to control the JACK sound server daemon, specifically for the Linux Audio Desktop infrastructure. It is written in C++ around the Qt4 toolkit for X11, most exclusively using Qt Designer. It provides a simple GUI dialog for setting several JACK daemon parameters, which are properly saved between sessions, and a way to control of the status of the audio server daemon. With time, this primordial interface has become richer by including an enhanced patchbay and connection control features.
Release Notes: Among other minor internal fixes, the patchbay socket dialog option list items are now properly escaped as regular expressions, the system tray popup menu is now featured as a context menu on the main application window, and a reset status option is now included in the popup menu.

Release Notes: The cache takes into account the HTTP headers 'if modified since' and 'last modified', thus using less bandwidth by using the cache of the browser. It uses the security filter facility for authentication. The popup="true" attribute can be added to navigation links to open them in popup windows.

crackalaka 1.0.9
Crackalaka is a small, standalone IRC server. It does not implement the inter-server portions of the IRC protocol, and is meant for use by a small workgroup, preferably behind a firewall.

The SpamBouncer 1.9
The SpamBouncer is a set of procmail instructions that search the headers and text of your incoming email to see if it meets one or more of a list of conditions for probable spam.

Release Notes: A generic scoring system has been added for easier block/spam thresholds configuration. There are more whitelisting, blacklisting and anti-virus features. CPU usage optimizations have been added (very important for site installations). MH format target folders support has been added. More deobfuscation techniques in the code allow for more spam pattern detection. Many bugfixes and housekeeping updates have been made (spam haven domains/small fry lists).

FreeMarker 2.3
FreeMarker is a template engine that was originally designed so that servlet-based applications could keep graphical design separate from application logic. The templates provide an easy and highly flexible way to generate any kind of text output (HTML, PostScript, TeX, source code, etc.) from a variety of data sources such as Java objects, Jython objects, XML object models, and more.
Release Notes: This release introduces numerous new features and quality improvements compared to the 2.2.x series. The most notable improvements are the ability to define functions (methods) in templates, the ability to interpolate variables in string literals, support for a variable number of macro parameters, and a more intelligent default object wrapper.

Find Duplicate Music Files detects music files that contain the same music, even if the files are differently named, and are in different formats such as MP3, OGG, WAV, WMA, M4A, and RealAudio and contain different or non-existent meta-information such as ID3 tags. The program operates on whole directories of music files, analyzes them, and outputs the filenames of pairs that seem similar, based on their audio fingerprint or perceptual hash.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug in previous versions that limited the maximum length of the music files being processed. It is also significantly more efficient than previous releases.
