Relational 0.11
Relational is an interface to load relations from a file, to write relational algebra queries, and to see their result. This software has educational purposes, since it makes it possible to immediately evaluate if a query is correct or not. For developers, it provides a relational algebra Python module which can be used within other projects.
Release Notes: The font is set only on Windows. Relations specified in the command line can be loaded. A problem with float numbers with the selection of certain relations was fixed. A .desktop file on svn was added. Some fields in the survey are automatically filled. When a query fails, the message of the exception is shown. The tokenizer was improved for select in optimizations, and it now can accept operators in identifiers. Getopt is used to handle the command line in a more standard way. The code was organized so the UI can be either Qt or command line. This means that it does not depend on Qt anymore. A readline user interface was added. A division operator was added.

Release Notes: This version fixes a critical issue related to the integration of the new OpenJPA 2 engine, which occurs on new installations when a user attempts to create a forum bookmark. The release also brings usability improvements of the forum group management interface. New installations now automatically create a default forum in a default forum group. The persistence layer was optimized to support the Large Result Set features available in OpenJPA. An automated test suite was implemented. The missing Maven configuration file was added to the source code distribution archive.

Zero Install Injector 0.49
Zero Install allows installing software easily and without the need for root privileges. It takes the URL of a program and chooses suitable versions of the program and all of its dependencies (also identified by URLs) according to the user's policy settings (eg. "stable", "testing", "minimal network use", etc). The chosen versions are downloaded and cached and the program is run, using environment variables to let it find the components.
Release Notes: Support for PackageKit was added, so that if a Zero Install program depends on a distribution package, the user can install that too at the same time. Bug reports now automatically include versions of all dependencies in XML, allowing the upstream author to recreate the reporter's environment exactly. A number of localization issues were fixed, and Windows support continues to improve.

Event and Task Manager 636
etm is an acronym for Event and Task Manager. It provides a simple, intuitive format for using plain text files to store data, a command line interface for viewing stored information in a variety of convenient ways, and a cross-platform, wx(Python)-based GUI for creating and modifying items as well as viewing them. Displayed items can be grouped by date, context, keyword, or project and can be filtered in various ways. A display of busy and free times is also supported, as is a ledger view of time spent that is suitable for client billing. Alarms are supported for events and repetition for both events and tasks in a powerful and flexible manner.
Release Notes: Output is shown in the same window as the entry bar in report views, thus leaving the entry bar open for option changes. The "include" option was added for item view. Using, for example, the option setting "-i ckn" in item view would append a details line to each item showing the context, keywords, and note. Various tweaks were made to improve keybindings under MS Windows and Linux. Code cleanup was done.

Automated Testing Framework 0.10
ATF is a collection of libraries and utilities designed to ease unattended application testing in the hands of developers and end users of a specific piece of software. Tests can currently be written in C/C++ or POSIX shell and, contrary to other testing frameworks, ATF tests are installed into the system alongside any other application files. This allows the end user to easily verify that the software behaves correctly on her system. Furthermore, the results of the test suites can be collected into nicely-formatted reports to simplify their visualization and analysis.
Release Notes: The major change in this release was the addition of expected failures to test cases, which provides a mechanism to add tests for known bugs and get notifications when these get fixed. Additionally, there were new feature additions such as new macros to test for errno values and new checks for the output of command-line tools. At last, lots of obsolete/unnecessary code was removed and many simplifications to the source tree were introduced for easier maintenance of releases.

GWiki 0.4.1
GWiki is an embeddable Wiki engine. It allows users to edit rich text fragments in an application you develop. It supports I18N files and mulitimedia content. Gwiki can be extended with macros written in Java or Groovy. It has a powerful right and role system, which can be fed from external sources such as LDAP, and allows access to business entitiels from wiki pages. It comes with Wicket integration out-of-the-box. Wicket-HTML-Fragments can be held within GWiki, so these pages can be managed by the Wiki System, while Wicket handles the application logic. GWiki can be deployed as a servlet on every servlet container. GWiki can use a filesystem, a Zip archive, or a database for its content storage.
Release Notes: Slideshows, smart tags for keywords, a blog feature (beta), a forum feature (pre-alpha) and a virtual folders feature (pre-alpha) were added.

Padre 0.66
Padre is an IDE for Perl developers. It provides syntax highlighting for many languages, but for Perl it also provides refactoring tools.
Release Notes: The code was converted to the Task 2.0 API (which broke a lot of things). This is an unstable release. The directory browser was rewritten to operate in the background. The output window is scrolled down on output. The non-blocking IO upgrade in 0.65 meant that Padre could no longer open files on Windows; this has been fixed. Many code cleanups were done.
