Sylbi 0.02
Sylbi is a conversation system that is not a forum and not a blogging platform, but a combination of the two. It grew from the idea that a blog with comments and a forum only differ in their perspective of the conversation. Both provide a chronological set of postings, initiated by someone, and, (potentially) replied to by others. The main difference is the perspective they present: a blog presents the perspective of the blog owner(s), while a forum presents the perspective of the forum and a topic defined in the forum. Sylbi allows you to look at conversations either way.
Release Notes: This release fixed a bug in conversation recategorization. It adds tracing via 'carp' that can be enabled/disabled by the user.

Expect-lite 3.0.4
expect-lite is an quick and easy command line automation tool. Written in expect, it is designed to directly map an interactive terminal session into an automation script. expect-lite scripts use special character(s) at the beginning of each line to indicate the action. Basic expect-lite scripts can be created by simply cutting and pasting text from a terminal window into a script, and adding '>' '<' characters. No knowledge of expect is required. Expect-lite is targeted at the verification testing environment, and will produce a Pass/Fail result at the end of the script. However, its use is not limited to this environment. It includes a powerful debugger with breakpoints, step/skip, and the ability to copy/paste expect-lite lines right into a running script.

LibLZF 3.1
LibLZF is a very small, self-contained library that can be incorporated into applications where data compression would be nice but speed is more important.

Release Notes: The license has been changed to a two-clause BSD license with the option to switch to GPL version 2 or any later version. The compression speed has been increased considerably, and the user can now chose between roughly the same speed as fastlz with a better compression ratio, or a faster speed than fastlz at a slightly worse compression ratio. The lzf utility has been improved to act much more like other similar utilities (e.g. gzip).
