uperf 1.0.3-beta
uperf is a network performance tool that supports modelling and replay of various networking patterns. It represents the next generation benchmarking tools (like filebench) where instead of running a fixed benchmark or workload, a description (or model) of the workload is provided and the tool generates the load according to the model. By distilling the benchmark or workload into a model, you can do various things like change the scale of the workload, change different parameters, change protocols, etc and analyse the effect of these changes on your model. You can also study the effect of interleaving CPU activity, or think times or the use of SSL instead of TCP, among many other things.
Release Notes: This is mainly a bugfix release.

Release Notes: The user interface of the Lava Programming Environment LavaPE and of the Lava interpreter is no longer based on the MDI (Multiple Document Interface) concept but on tabbed and splitter widgets, which provide more neatly arranged, non-overlapping windows. The state/value object distinction has been slightly revised once more. "Virtual types" may be declared "final" now. Lava has been ported to Mac OS.

safecopy 1.4
safecopy is a data recovery tool which tries to extract as much data as possible from a seekable but problematic (i.e., damaged sectors) source like floppy drives, hard disk partitions, CDs, etc., where other tools like dd would fail due to I/O errors.
Release Notes: Some compilation issues on AMD-64 systems have been fixed and the test suite shipped with safecopy has been rewritten to be more modular, portable, and reusable. There are also some fixed typos in safecopy documentation, program output, and code. Base functionality wise, however, this release behaves the same as version 1.3. Therefore, for end users, upgrading from 1.3 to 1.4 is optional. Package maintainers are encouraged to validate their 1.3 binary with the 1.4 test suite, should the old test suite have failed to compile or execute. The tests themselves are binary compatible between the versions.
