It has support for various LDAPv3 bind methods and a powerful built-in schema browser. HTML templates are supported for displaying and editing entries, and LDIF templates can be used for quickly adding new entries.

wmjump 1.0
wmjump provides keyboard navigation for the Linux desktop. Use the keyboard to switch between windows and workspaces. A menu is shown with the colored list of windows, marked by the letters a-z. Pressing the key a-z "teleports" to that window. The colors of the buttons are configurable.
Release Notes: Now pressing the space bar brings up the previous window; this is useful when you have to jump back and forth between two windows. A bug was fixed so wmjump properly reports its own window class (wmjump). This is important for window managers which can adjust placement depending on the window class (fluxbox).

sqlmap 0.7
sqlmap is a penetration testing tool that automates the process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over of database servers. It comes with a detection engine, many niche features, and a broad range of switches including database fingerprinting, data fetching from the database, and accessing the underlying file system and executing commands on the operating system via out-of-band connections.
Release Notes: Metasploit wrapping functions were adapted to work with the latest 3.3 development version too. The code was adjusted to make sqlmap 0.7 work on Mac OS X again. The takeover OOB features (if any of --os-pwn, --os-smbrelay or --os-bof is selected) are reset when running under Windows because msfconsole and msfcli are not supported on the native Windows Ruby interpreter. This makes sqlmap 0.7 work on Windows again. A minor improvement was made so that sqlmap also tests all parameters with no value. Many bugs were fixed.
