DictEm 0.0.1
DictEm is an extremely customizable DICT client for (X)Emacs. It implements all functions of the client part of the DICT protocol (RFC-2229). Unlike dictionary.el, it widely uses autocompletion that is used for selecting a dictionary and search strategy. It provides several hooks that may be used for buffer postprocessing. Built-in hyperlinking and a highlighting mechanism are based on this ability. It supports the mechanism of virtual dictionaries that can be used for grouping dictionaries from different DICT servers into the client-side virtual dictionary.
Release Notes:

PyLinda 0.3
Linda is a widely studied distributed computing environment, centered around the notion of a tuple space. A tuple space is a bag (also called a multi-set) of tuples. A tuple is an ordered, typed chunk of data. Tuple spaces exist independently of processes in the system, and the data placed into a tuple space also exist independently. PyLinda is a simple implementation of a Linda system, but it also includes several of the more recently proposed extensions to Linda in the form of multiple tuple spaces, garbage collection, sane non-blocking primitives and bulk tuple operations.
Release Notes: This version uses System V shared memory and Unix domain sockets where available.

qGo 0.2.1
qGo is a Go board, SGF editor, and client for the Internet Go Server. You can review and edit games, connect to IGS, and play against a computer program supporting GTP (like GnuGo). Go is an ancient board game that is very common in Japan, China, and Korea.

Cpuspeedy 0.4.1
Cpuspeedy allows you to change the clock speed and voltage of CPUs using Linux's CPUFreq driver. It is a user space program, so it will work on every processor supported by the kernel's CPUFreq driver.
Release Notes: pythermalzone.py is now checking for every directory in the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ directory. If the temperature file is found, then its value is read. This should fix a bug that prevented cpuspeedy from getting the CPU's temperature in those systems where the path to the temperature file is not /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM.

HTML Document Object 2.22
The HTMLObject is a set of Perl modules that provides the ability to create Dynamic HTML documents (Framesets, DHTML, etc.). You can generate your code without having to do cookies first, then JavaScript, then the body. As long as the content is output in the correct order, you can generate JavaScript or cookies at any point since the output is not sent to the server until you call the display() method. It attempts to fully support HTML 4.x and XHTML. Helper methods are provided to do cookies, URI encoding, etc. There is a Form processing module which will generate the form, gather the input, and then validate the input, re-displaying the form if errors are encountered with the invalid entries marked as such.
Release Notes: This release implements the correct solution for working with the Data::FormValidator->valid() method when dealing with multi-select widgets that can return multiple entries. The generated HTML tags attempt to pretty print themselves, though there is much room for improvement. This puts in line breaks, etc. as needed instead of outputting all tags on a single line.

rtldi 0.94
rtldi is an ELF program interpreter that makes it possible for executables to use their own ld-linux.so.2 and libc.so.6 and associated shared libraries, independent of the default versions installed in /lib and any other executable. It facilitates the simultaneous interoperation of programs that were originally linked using different generations of glibc6. In theory it should not be necessary, but in practice glibc6 has not always been backward compatible.
Release Notes: This release improves handling when argv[0] contains no slash '/'. Minor bugs have been fixed.
02 Jul 15:05
UUID 2.0
UUID is an implementation of the UUIDs and GUIDs specification in Java. UUIDs are 128 bit long identifiers that are guaranteed to be unique.

OSSP shiela 1.1.4
Shiela is an access control and logging facility for use with the Concurrent Versions System (CVS). It is intended to be hooked into CVS's processing through the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/xxxinfo callbacks. This way Shiela provides access control on a path and branch basis to particular repository users and user groups. Additionally, repository operations are monitored, accumulated, and logged. The lookout of logging messages can be configured individually on a module path and branch basis and messages can be both saved to files and/or delivered by email.
Release Notes: This release fixes determination of the "handle" field under new CVS 1.12.x where ISO formatted dates are used in the output of "cvs log". It documents in install-shiela that CVS version 1.12.6 or higher is required.

Yawp 0.16 beta
Yawp is a single-file rapid application development framework foundation for PHP and PEAR. When you "include 'Yawp.php'" and call "Yawp::start()", you get: a single easy-to-edit config file for your application, automated authentication processing, and automatic creation of common objects (a database abstraction layer, disk cache, composite logger, benchmark timer, and variable dumper). It provides safe accessor methods for GET, POST, and configuration values. It is fully documented with examples.
Release Notes: Changes from 0.11 to 0.16 include changes in method names for consistency, automated use of the DB object for authentication and logging, the addition of a getPathInfo() method, strip_tags() on all GET and PATH_INFO vars, and a fix for a bug where authentication redirects would not retain error status.

Subtitles 0.05
Subtitles consists of a command line tool, 'subs', and a Perl backend that provide a means for the simple loading, re-timing, converting, and storing of movie subtitle files. The supported formats include .srt, .sub, and .smi. It can easily be extended.
Release Notes: A bug in the re-timing code has been fixed. This release will behave more graciously when corrupted subtitles are met. It will save backups for the output files (handy when you occasionally type '-o Movie.avi' instead of '-o Movie.sub'). There are minor cleanups.
02 Jul 14:02
phpSavant 1.5.1
Savant is a powerful but lightweight PEAR-compliant template system for PHP. It is non-compiling, and uses PHP itself as its template language so you don't need to learn a new markup system. It has an object-oriented system of template plugins and output filters, so it sports almost all of the power of Smarty with almost none of the overhead.
Release Notes: An error in the setTemplate() method has been fixed.

Make CD-ROM Recovery 0.8.0
mkCDrec (Make CD-ROM Recovery) makes a bootable (El Torito) disaster recovery image, including backups of the Linux system to one or more CD-ROM(s) (multi-volume sets). Otherwise, the backups can be stored on another disk, NFS/CIFS disk, or (remote) tape. After a disk crash or system intrusion, the system can be booted from the CD-ROM and one can restore the complete system as it was. It also features disk cloning, which allows one to restore a disk to another disk (the destination disk does not have to be of the same size, as it calculates the partition layout itself). Currently, ext2, ext3, minix, MS-DOS, FAT, VFAT, Reiserfs, XFS, and JFS filesystems are supported. It can restore disks in Software RAID and LVM mode. It supports the One Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) mode, which simulates a bootable CD-ROM on tape.
Release Notes: mkCDrec This release supports the IA64 architecture and uses busybox-1.0-pre10 for its magic.

Centre greatly cuts down the time it takes to report to state agencies and distribute student information to teachers, support staff, and parents.
Release Notes: Users are authenticated before being allowed to run a program. Arbitrary Files cannot be included by the Modules program. Attempts to violate these rules are logged in a Central Miller Group database along with the violater's username and IP address. Name Suffix and Nickname were added to the Students General Info Screen. The custom field's Pull-down Options field was expanded to fit 10000 characters.

Release Notes: Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace, All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception giving the location in the buildfile of the task. This release fixes a large number of bugs and adds a number of requested features.
