Cute Editor for PHP is a fast, easy, and powerful browser-based WYSIWYG HTML editor for PHP applications. It enables PHP Web developers to replace text areas in existing content management systems with only a few lines of code. Its toolbar is totally configurable.
Release Notes:
spin_feedback collects parameters of an (X)HTML form, as either multipart/form-data or application/x-www-form-urlencoded, validates them, stores them into an SQL database, and emails them to a designated email address. Emailing of attachments is supported, but only the name of the uploaded file is stored in the database.
Release Notes: The license tag was fixed in the RPM spec file.
spin_auth is an authentication wrapper. It can be used by other mod_spin applications to authenticate users specified in a traditional Apache manner, but without actually employing dangerously breakable basic authentication. It also enables non-encrypted applications to temporarily switch to SSL/TLS for authentication only.
Release Notes: The license tag was fixed in the RPM spec file.
AJAXSLT is an implementation of XSLT in JavaScript. It is also an implementation of XPath that can be used independently of XSLT. It is interesting for developers who aggressively strive for cross browser compatibility. The XSLT implementation operates at the DOM level on its input but returns the output document as a text stream. The DOM to construct the output document can be supplied by the application, or else an internal minimal DOM implementation is used. This DOM comes with a minimal XML parser that can be used to generate a suitable DOM representation of the input documents if they are present as text.
Release Notes: This release includes several XPath bugfixes and some significant performance enhancements. It also includes support for a new "case insensitive" option on ExprContext, allowing you to match node names case insensitively. This is useful when using XPaths on HTML, where node names are not consistent across browsers.
The MediaMVP Media Center (mvpmc) is a media player written in C. It currently runs on the Hauppauge MediaMVP hardware. It can play video (including live TV), audio (including live radio), show pictures, and retrieve Yahoo! weather. mvpmc can access media from a MythTV, ReplayTV, Hauppauge, VLC, or SqueezeCenter (aka SlimServer) server. It can also access media via UPNP, HTTP, NFS, and CIFS. There is a VNC viewer built in. It understands MPEG1 and MPEG2 video, MP3, OGG, WAV, AC3, and FLAC audio and JPG, BMP, and PNG images.
Release Notes:

Traffic Prioritizer is designed to run on a Linux router and prioritize users' traffic by their bandwidth consumption. It is aimed to shape the "bandwidth greedy" clients (P2P, YouTube, IPTV, etc.) so that the ones who are just browsing do not lack bandwidth.
Release Notes: An iptables zombie bug has been fixed. An inbound traffic priority change bug has been fixed. Logging has been added (compile with DEBUG to log all priority changes). Command line options have been added (use "trafitizer -h" to see the full list of options). The program has been split into two threads ('traffic capture' and 'priority updates'). When 'make install' runs, trafitizer.conf will be installed as trafitizer.conf.orig. Copy it to trafitizer.conf for first-time installs.

Pages are tracked with either Javascript or with PHP, and data is collected in realtime into a MySQL database. A variety of statistical procedures are applied to show you where your site needs to be optimized.
Release Notes: The frontend user interface has been drastically updated. The plugin architecture has been finalized and is availible for configuration. A preference system has been added, allowing for Web configuration rather then hand editing. User management is complete. There are many bugfixes.
SOGo is a very fast and scalable modern collaboration suite (or groupware). It offers calendaring, address book management, and a full-featured Webmail client along with resource sharing and permission handling. It also makes use of documented standards (IMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, etc.) and thereby provides native connectivity (without plugins) to many clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCal, the iPhone, Mozilla Lightning, and a plethora of mobile devices via SyncML. It can reuse any existing email and database infrastructure, avoiding long hours of site restructuring.

Userful Desktop is a locked-down and secure desktop Linux distribution designed for schools, libraries, kiosks, Internet cafes, digital signage, and public access computers. Customization and control is all done through the cloud: a simple and intuitive administration Web site. The "Userful MultiSeat" desktop virtualization software that supports Ethernet and USB connected zero clients is also included. Desktop settings can be managed for thousands of desktops at once via session profiles, which are created and stored in the cloud. Key features include time management, print cost recovery, Internet filtering, privacy protection, automated clean-up, remote desktop monitoring and control, prepaid cards, and automatic updates. It replaces both DiscoverStation and Desktop Server.
Release Notes: This release fixes an issue with language selection not working reliably. It adds a friendly warning message when OpenOffice is not installed. It prevents a second scim applet from starting (and subsequently crashing admin programs). An issue with DiscoverStation-init hanging on boot has been fixed. In discoverprint, the patron notification function has been adjusted to avoid a possible buffer overflow. A problem where the system would boot to a black screen has been fixed.
Ruote is a workflow engine. It's a runtime for long running business processes. Processes are explicitly defined and may be explicitly handled (start, pause, cancel, update). A process is started by handing a business process definition to the engine. A process definition is expressed in ruote’s own process definition language, which comes in two flavors: XML and a Ruby DSL. A process definition will describe the flow of work among participants. A ruote engine can simultaneously handle multiple process instances, created from one or more different process definitions. A process instance can be modified on the fly. Ruote was formerly known as OpenWFEru.
Release Notes: This release adds a database persistence implementation for the engine itself, performance improvements, and Atom and AtomPub oriented participants (business process blog and business process activity feeds).
gnoMint is a tool for easily creating and managing certification authorities. It provides fancy visualization of all the pieces of information that pertain to a CA, such as x509 certificates, CSRs, and CRLs. gnoMint is currently capable of managing a CA that emits certificates that are able to authenticate people or machines in VPNs (IPSec or other protocols), secure HTTP communications with SSL/TLS, authenticate and cipher HTTP communications through Web-client certificates, and sign or crypt email messages.
Release Notes: Private keys can be saved in external files, so they can be kept in external drives. These files are in PKCS#8 password-protected format. All private keys in the database can be encrypted with a password, so nobody can extract private keys, or generate new certificates or CRLs, without knowing the password. This way, direct access to a password-protected database file using sqlite3 can only access to public information: all the private parts are cyphered. A contextual menu for allowing easy operation with certificates and CSRs has been added.
MCabber is a small Jabber console client. It features SASL/TLS/SSL support, multi-user chat, PGP support, history logging, dynamic modules, and external actions triggers. It also has support for Aspell/Enchant for spell checking and OTR (Off-The-Record) messaging.
Release Notes: This release adds internal hooks, improves the command /source, removes the UI restriction on the message size, and features various improvements and bugfixes.
