Scan Tailor is an interactive post-processing tool for scanned pages. It performs operations such as page splitting, deskewing, adding/removing borders, despeckling, and others. You give it raw scans and you get pages ready to be printed or assembled into a PDF or a DJVU file.
Release Notes: The Windows version now has a crash reporter, which allowed a couple of unreproducible crashes to be fixed. Among the new features is the ability to apply parameters to arbitrary groups of pages. Fixes and improvements were made to Split Pages and Output stages, the latter getting a nice performance boost.
Ctalk adds classes, methods, operator overloading, inheritance, and complex object expressions to otherwise standard C programs. Programs can use only a few Ctalk objects and methods in an otherwise standard C program, but the language can be used to write entire programs also. Ctalk works on most if not all of the systems that support GCC, the GNU C compiler. The package includes the language, class and run-time libraries, example programs, tutorial, and language reference.
Release Notes: This release adds basic font support to the X11Pane class, and has compatibility and reliability improvements in X11Pane and other graphics classes.
HeliDB is a database for storing key-value pairs from a Java program. The client program creates one database object per database file. The database objects can be configured to support different capabilities. In its simplest configuration, a database is a file-backed map. More advanced configurations can give it transaction support or fast record searches by indexing records in a B+ tree.
Release Notes: This release introduce new database methods for searching for closest key matches. The new Cursor object can be used to navigate through the records in a database.
Tvheadend is a streaming server/relay supporing a variety of sources and multiple output formats. It is primarily intended to be used for receiving TV (DVB, Analog, IPTV) and to transmit it using a number of different output formats to subscribers. Together with powerful DVR (Digital Video Recorder) features, an advanced EPG and a web-interface it can be used as a TV distribution hub.
Release Notes: This is a minor feature/bugfix release. In particular, DVB-S support has been fixed. The most notable feature is the ability to merge two channels into one. This release also marks the beginning of 64-bit Debian package availability.
svenson is a JSON generator/parser that allows you to convert JSON data sets into graphs of Java objects and vice-versa. It supports the whole range of just using collection classes for your Java object graphs or your own types or something in between, like your own types with Java properties and dynamic properties. svenson offers a set of annotations and interfaces that give you fine-grained control over how JSON is generated or parsed.
Release Notes: Support for streaming output was added. An alternative type mapper ClassNameBasedTypeMapper has been added. @JSONConverter annotation allows you to convert bean properties. PathMatcher has been added for flexible type hints and type mappers. About 20% better JSON parser performance when parsing into map/list graphs.
LaTeX::Table is a Perl module that provides functionality for an intuitive generation of LaTeX tables. It ships with some predefined, good-looking table styles. This module supports multi-page tables via the xtab and longtable LaTeX packages. For publication quality tables, it utilizes the booktabs package. It also supports the tabularx and tabulary packages for nicer fixed-width tables. Furthermore, it supports the colortbl package for colored tables optimized for presentations. The ltpretty program makes it easy to use this module from within a text editor such as Vim or emacs.
Release Notes: This release fixes a minor bug in the csv2pdf utility. A new option, tablelasttail, was added.
Simpleburner is a simple CLI application to make burning CDs and DVDs easier. It writes a directory with your files to burn to a CD. You have to set up some things like ISO image name and location for it. It can be run in modes like test burn, makeiso-only, or burn-only. More information is included in the help message.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug with creating ISO files.
Paludis is a package manager for Gentoo (and derived distributions) and Exherbo. It consists of a core library and a number of console-based clients. Package formats supported include Gentoo ebuilds and kdebuilds (as defined by the Package Manager Specification), the Exherbo exheres-0 format, and various miscellaneous utility pseudo-formats for managing accounts, unwritten and unavailable packages, and packages for which no package exists.
Release Notes: Failures installing qt-core on Gentoo have been fixed.
dwm is a fast and simple window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiled and floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for the application in use and the task performed. Windows can be tagged with one or multiple tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows that are accordingly tagged. dwm is the little brother of wmii.
Release Notes: This release fixes Xinerama support with screens with the same origin geometry, fixes aspect ratio applications, and has several corrections to the man page.
SSI.cgi is a standalone SSI (Server Side Includes) interpreter, intended for use with lightweight Web servers (such as Cherokee) that themselves do not support SSI. It is implemented using C, with the intention of minimizing both overheads and dependency requirements.
Release Notes: This release targets stability rather than features. The broken FastCGI support has been dropped, and the avalanche of compiler warnings that newer versions of GCC emit has been sorted. Parsing of nested files for SSI directives has also been fixed.
aria2 is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols are HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink. It has a powerful segmented downloading ability, downloading a file from multiple sources and multiple protocols and utilizing your download bandwidth to the maximum. It supports downloading a file from HTTP(S)/FTP and BitTorrent at the same time, while the data downloaded from HTTP(S)/FTP is uploaded to the BitTorrent swarm. Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while downloading a file like BitTorrent.
Release Notes: This release fixes a linker error in unit test code on 32-bit systems. The unit test failure on mingw32 was also fixed. The file I/O error handling was written.
The libcap-ng library is intended to make programming with POSIX capabilities much easier than the traditional libcap library. It includes utilities that can analyze all currently running applications to locate applications that may have too many privileges.
Release Notes: In netcap, this release will not complain about missing UDP or raw network files. A small adjustment has been made to the bit representation of file-based capabilities.
MP3 Diags finds problems in MP3 files and helps the user fix many of them. It looks at both the audio part (VBR info, quality, normalization) and the tags containing track information (ID3). It has a tag editor, which can download album information (including cover art) from MusicBrainz and Discogs, as well as paste data from the clipboard. Track information can also be extracted from a file's name. Another component is the file renamer, which can rename files based on the fields in their ID3V2 tag (artist, track number, album, genre, etc.).
Release Notes: A "fast save" option for the tag editor. Configurable visible transformations. A new transform for keeping a single image as a front cover. A new transform for removing ID3V1. A button to remove image files. Configurable max image size. Various minor fixes.
The STUBS Toolchain and Utility Build Suite is a set of scripts which, together with a set of pre-written configuration files, builds one or more software packages in sequence. STUBS is designed to work in very minimal environments, including those without "make", and URLs are included so source and patches can be downloaded as necessary. Configuration files and scripts are provided which create boot media for Franki/Earlgrey Linux (one of several example busybox- and uClibc-based Linux environments) and the intention is that STUBS should be able to rebuild such an environment from within itself.
Release Notes: This 'tcdev' release updates the toolchains used. The majority of changes continue sanitizing the build and install procedures. The version of 'mawk' was updated to v1.3.3-20090712.
TangoCMS is a PHP content management system (CMS). Its ease of use and powerful feature set allow you to quickly and easily create and manage an entire Web site. The aim is to create a CMS that anyone with a basic understanding of content management systems and the Internet can use. Producing W3C valid HTML, CSS, and JS is another goal.
Release Notes: This is a minor bugfix release for the 2.3.x "Dolphin" series. It fixes 10 bugs/issues that were found. All users are advised to upgrade.
cdemu-tray is a cdemu client written in C++ using Gtkmm.
Release Notes: Compability with cdemu 1.2.0 was added.
Cego implements a relational and transactional database system with support for the SQL query language. The current release contains the most common database features for basic table manipulation and data retrieval. Indexes, foreign keys, views, and stored procedures are also implemented. Future releases (2.0 and above) will support a multi-node database concept with log file shipping for an automatic database application failover.
Release Notes: Another join optimization was added.
namefix.pl is a cross platform batch file renamer, facilitating quick and painless renaming of filenames. It features all the expected batch file renaming functions, id3v1 and id3v2 support, Explorer integration for Windows, and much more. It is especially useful for cleaning up BT downloads.
Release Notes: Special casing (fn_sp_word) was fixed, which was ignoring words next to characters such as ".", "_", "(", ")", "[", and "]". Comments were added to and debug output was corrected for the fn_sp_word function. fn_replace was enabled for ID3 tags. If you dont want it run on tags, process filename first.
LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a web frontend for managing entries (e.g. users, groups, DHCP settings) stored in an LDAP directory. LAM was designed to make LDAP management as easy as possible for the user. It abstracts from the technical details of LDAP and allows persons without technical background to manage LDAP entries. If needed, power users may still directly edit LDAP entries via the integrated LDAP browser.
Release Notes: LAM Pro now allows you to execute custom scripts on create/modify/delete. This release also adds compatibility for memcache session storage and allows you to disable Samba LM password hashes. This is a test release. Do not use in production environments.
webgen is a Web site generator implemented in Ruby. It is used to generate static Web sites from templates and page files. It is fast, easy to use, and extensible.
Release Notes: This is just a small interim release with some new features. It paves the way for bringing image gallery and blog support to webgen. Additionally, error reporting has been much improved.
episoder is a tool to tell you about new episodes of your favourite TV shows. It does so by parsing online TV show episode guides.
Release Notes: This release fixes some more minor issues with the epguides parser and improves compatibility with older Python versions.
Nagzilla was designed to be a Jabber relay "bot", in that it sits quietly in a room until it gets a message to relay to either a chat room or a person. The early work was based on several simple examples out on the Internet, but would just keep logging into a room every time the bot had something to say. It was made a daemon, which allows it to get Nagzilla alerts from various systems and event creators. Nagzillac (the client program) accepts any string input and makes it into a Jabber message. This should work with Google Talk (as it's Jabber-based), but that is untested.
Release Notes: The ability to send color coded messages was added. A better command line client was added. Presence sending and receiving was added. The foundation was laid for more rapid future changes.
Gambas is a graphical development environment based on a Basic interpreter, like Visual Basic. It uses the Qt toolkit, but is able to use any other toolkit that a module is written for.
Release Notes: A big bug was fixed in the interpreter that made it crash randomly on some systems. String to number conversion was fixed, especially when converting Long numbers. The Firebird driver is compiled correctly now. The SQLite 3 driver now correctly returns the default value of fields. Raising or lowering controls now works correctly in the GTK+ component. The SMTP component now strictly follows RFC 2047 when sending mails with subjects encoded in UTF-8. The Xml.ToString() method was fixed in the XML component.
AgileWiki is a composable platform for advanced Web-based and P2P networks. It allows multiple points of entry, where each node is an information fusion system with controlled access, pluggable applications, and native deductive reasoning.
Release Notes: Several critical bugs were fixed.
A set of tools and libraries to access human-editable text-based databases called recfiles.
