BIRD 1.1.6
BIRD is a dynamic routing daemon for UNIX-like systems. It should support all routing protocols used in the contemporary Internet, such as BGP, OSPF, RIP, and their IPv6 variants. It also features a very flexible configuration mechanism, and a route filtering language.
Release Notes: This release implements RFC 5004: prefer older external routes. There is a change in how route servers handle missing IPv6 link local addresses in the next hop attribute: see the 'missing lladdr' option. Several minor features (description field and parse check option) have been added. There are several minor bugfixes.
19 Nov 22:37
Comment Script 1.2.2
Comment Script is a script that allows comments to be left on any existing PHP or HTML page. By default, the script shows name, e-mail, homepage, title, and comment fields, though any can be disabled. The "comment" field is mandatory and must be filled out before the form can be submitted. In order to prevent the script from being abused by automatic spam bots, you can enable the CAPTCHA feature. The script then asks your visitors to enter a text they see in the image below the comment form into an input box. It also features an admin area where comments can be edited and deleted and the front-end language set.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug in the smiley module. It is possible to change the URL of a comment page. A Polish language file has been added.

19 Nov 20:01
libvfcgi 0.0.1
libvfcgi is a library that implements FastCGI for GObject and Vala applications, written in Vala. It aims to fully implement the FastCGI specification and make FastCGI Web application servers accessible to Vala programmers and GObject C programmers. Note that while it is possible to use the library from GObject C, it is designed for use with Vala and may be tedious to use directly in C.
Release Notes: This is the initial release. It is a very early release, and is not intended for usage yet. It does not actually implement the various FastCGI modes of operation, nor does it implement handling of FastCGI management records, so the code is just the basis for moving forward. With some effort, those things can be filled in. Version 0.0.2 will have these these things (support for the Responder role and handling of management records).
19 Nov 19:55
The Boost Libraries 1.41.0
Boost was begun by members of the C++ standards committee Library Working Group to provide free peer-reviewed portable libraries to the C++ community. An additional objective is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Indeed, the explicit intent is to propose many of these libraries for inclusion in the C++ Standard Library. The Boost Graph Library, formerly known as the Generic Graph Component Library (GGCL), is a collection of graph algorithms and data structures created in the generic programming style of the Standard Template Library (STL).
Release Notes: A tree data structure especially suited to storing configuration data has been added. The default format for time durations is now "%-%O:%M:%S%F" instead of "%-%H:%M:%S%F". The performance of the incomplete gamma function and its inverse was substantially improved, which enhances the performance of the gamma, poisson, chi-squared, and non-central chi-squared distributions. Support has been added for many Perl 5.10 syntax elements, including named sub-expressions, branch resets, and recursive regular expressions. Boost.Python supports Python 3.
19 Nov 19:50
TXR 024
TXR is a new data munging language to replace the likes of awk and Perl. TXR's special pattern language provides template-based matching of entire documents or large sections of documents. It also contains a language for functional and imperative programming. It is written in C and takes the form of a utility that is portable to Unix-like platforms and Windows.
Release Notes: This release fixes some showstopper breakage introduced during recent rounds of refactoring: the parser error function botched up, leading to garbage diagnostic messages. A bug introduced back in 015 has been fixed: collect clauses that didn't yield any variable bindings were incorrectly being treated as match failures.
19 Nov 19:49
cencode 1.2
cencode encodes a stream or a file into quoted c-string escape sequences, suitable for use directly in C code. It is a universal alternative to dedicated export formats like XPM, unportable resource forks, linker flags, and Windows resources where dynamic loading of external data is not possible or undesired.
Release Notes: Building on newer glibc versions was fixed.
19 Nov 19:47
FreeIPMI 0.7.15
FreeIPMI provides in-band and out-of-band IPMI software based on the IPMI v1.5/2.0 specification. It has a number of useful features for large HPC or cluster environments.

Payroll administrators can quickly generate paystubs and process payroll based off timesheet information or export timesheet data to other applications.
Release Notes: This release contains updated tax tables for the US. It has several fixes, including one for authorization hierarchies.

NLopt 1.2
NLopt is a library for nonlinear optimization that allows one to select from a wide variety of optimization algorithms by changing a single parameter. Its features include both local and global optimization, unconstrained, bound-constrained, or nonlinear-inequality constrained problems, and optimization using function values only or using derivatives if they are available. It was initially begun as a wrapper around several existing optimization packages, but it now also includes original implementations of several algorithms for which no free code was available. It provides interfaces callable from C/C++, Fortran, Matlab, GNU Octave, Python, and GNU Guile.
Release Notes: This release adds Powell's BOBYQA algorithm (box-constrained sequential quadratic programming without derivatives) and the ISRES evolutionary algorithm (nonlinearly constrained optimization). There are minor installation fixes.
