15 Mar 22:38 Clzip 1.0-rc3

Clzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to that of gzip or bzip2. Clzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution and data archiving. Clzip uses the lzip file format; the files produced by clzip are fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer, and can be rescued with lziprecover. Clzip is, in fact, a C language implementation of lzip, intended for embedded devices or systems lacking a C++ compiler.

Release Notes: Input_buffer has been integrated in Range_decoder, simplifying the code and making decompression slightly faster.

15 Mar 22:37 Lzip 1.10-rc3

Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as quickly as gzip and compresses better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution and data archiving. If you ever need to recover data from a damaged lzip file, try the lziprecover program.

Release Notes: Input_buffer has been integrated into Range_decoder, simplifying the code and making decompression slightly faster.

15 Mar 22:33 GNU ddrescue 1.12-rc3

GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or block device (hard disk, CD-ROM, etc.) to another, trying hard to rescue data in case of read errors. GNU ddrescuelog is a tool that manipulates ddrescue logfiles, shows logfile contents, converts logfiles to/from other formats, compares logfiles, tests rescue status, and can delete a logfile if the rescue is done.

Release Notes: This release uses "time_t" instead of "long" for time variables.

15 Mar 16:28 MiMViC 0.9.6

MiMViC is a micro MVC framework that embraces PHP 5.3 by utilizing namespaces, lambda functions, and minimality. It is designed to be a super-lightweight and programmer-friendly framework, thus giving the programmer only the most essential tools for programming.

Release Notes: Minor bugs were fixed. $_GET parameter passing was introduced. New examples were introduced.

15 Mar 16:28 Arg_parser 1.4

Arg_parser is an argument parser that follows POSIX and GNU conventions for command line arguments. There exist C++ and C versions of Arg_parser. The C++ version is implemented as a C++ class, while the C version is implemented as a single struct plus associated functions. Both are simpler, easier to use, and safer than 'getopt_long'. The C++ version of Arg_parser can also parse options from configuration files.

Release Notes: "typedefs" have been removed from the C version (carg_parser.h). A link exception has been added to the license. The manual has been improved.
