Secure Gateway is a secure login gateway that has been extended to include basic configuration and user management via a self contained admin portal. It allows you to protect your own Web site and maintain your own look and feel, adding a small amount of code into your site for required links.
Release Notes: In order to try to make the transition from 'gateway' to 'portal' and through the rest of the secure product range, this release restructures the internals of the code and at the same time completes some code cleanups.
SwarmTv is a command line broad-catching program that downloads selected torrents/NZB's from an RSS or Twitter feed and puts them in a directory for your torrent program to download. The torrents to download are selected using filters that look at the name, size, and episode/season of the torrent. A mechanism is in place to prevent double downloads. Swarmtv can even send an email when a new episode is found.
Release Notes: This release has a rewritten, improved defaultrss filter. Improved cmake build scripts now detect libraries before building. Compilation on FreeBSD has been fixed. Auto-initialization has been added. There is no more need for "make db"; run once, and all is set. Memory leaks and bugs have been fixed.
Siam Quantum (SQ) is a quantum chemistry program that calculates wave function and total energy of molecules. It currently supports restricted and unrestricted Hartree-Fock method using Gaussian-type basis functions. The source code is well documented because it was initially designed for academic purposes so that students can easily understand. However, Siam Quantum can also produce high quality results for research purposes because the energies calculated are comparable to the ones produced by other software packages such as Gaussian or GAMESS, with the errors in the order of 10^-6 Hartrees, which can be further reduced with more strict cut-off.
Release Notes: Minor improvements and bugfixes. Siam Quantum (SQ) runs much faster using a well-known technique whereby the 2-electron integrals have been grouped into "shell". It is now feasible for SQ to perform calculations on buckyball (C60). Many parameters can now be controlled using command-line options. A bug regarding the xyz format is now fixed.

The software provides all the necessary server tools to run an organization including email, anti-virus, anti-spam, file sharing, groupware, VPN, firewall, intrusion detection/prevention, content filtering, bandwidth management, multi-WAN, and more. Through the intuitive Web-based management console, an administrator can configure the server software along with integrated cloud-based services.
Release Notes: This service pack release has a number of bugfixes including Samba security policy updates, a more robust installer when the network is offline, protocol filter updates, and intrusion prevention fixes.

Stantor correspondents can sent alerts via email and instant messaging. The Linux distributions supported are Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mandriva.
Release Notes: An implementation of the electronic board Arduino Duemilanove or compatible (Open Hardware). An embedded program (sketch) for the board Duemilanove. The database and documentation have been updated.
bitstring is a Python module that helps to make the creation and analysis of binary data as simple and natural as possible. Objects can be constructed from integers (big and little endian), floats, hex, octal, binary, byte data, iterables, or files. They can be sliced, joined, reversed, packed, unpacked, inserted into, overwritten, and otherwise operated upon with simple functions or slice notation. They can also be parsed, searched, and navigated in, similar to a file or stream. Internally the data is efficiently stored as byte arrays. It is available for Python 2.6 and later (including Python 3).
Release Notes: A new byteswap method for changing endianness. Multiplicative factors and groupings allowed in tokens used to create and parse bitstrings. A number of other small improvements and bugfixes, plus improved efficiency.
RTEMS (Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems) is a commercial grade real-time operating system designed for deeply embedded systems. It is a free (as in beer and speech) open-source solution that supports multi-processor systems. RTEMS is designed to support applications with the most stringent real-time requirements while being compatible with open standards such as POSIX. It includes filesystem support as well as a port of the FreeBSD TCP/IP stack.

dbus-cxx is a C++ wrapper for dbus that supports introspection and includes a proxy/adapter generator (dbus-cxx-xml2cpp). What differentiates dbus-cxx from other C++ wrappers is that dbus-cxx relies heavily on sigc++ and explicitly exposes the wrapped D-Bus C API.
Release Notes: This release primarily features code cleanup, but in doing so there were several minor feature additions, added documentation, bugfixes, and minor API changes. A quickstart guide has been added to the documentation. This will take you through a simple client/server example. The quickstart tutorial can be found in the documentation or on the dbus-cxx website.

It includes advanced SEO modules, Helpdesk, and an abstraction layer to group Web site content in a custom manner. There is an advanced plugin system and dedicated template/layout mechanism, which greatly simplifies template integration as there are just few basic files to set up a template.
Release Notes: The major improvement in this version is the addition of the Plugins Manager (PM) to improve Web site customizations, allowing rapid deployment of the framework and evolving this package to be modular and more dynamic. Plugins can be installed, uninstalled, completely removed, and configured using their own database space. They can also be fully automated or operate using a custom flow, interact with other plugins, and use the core functions and database like every other component of this CMS.
Monkey HTTP Daemon is a very fast and lightweight Web server for Linux. It uses a hybrid networking model based on asynchronous calls (event-driven) and fixed threads, which makes it scalable and capable of attending thousands of clients per second.

Release Notes: TCP socket reconnect functionality was repaired. Support for Linux epoll was added, enabling more than 1024 concurrent connections.
Chroma is an abstract puzzle game in which a variety of colorful shapes are arranged in a series of increasingly complex patterns, forming fiendish traps that must be disarmed and mysterious puzzles that must be manipulated in order to give up their subtle secrets. Initially, it is so straightforward that anyone can pick it up and begin to play, yet it gradually becomes difficult enough to tax even the brightest of minds. It features twenty-one levels, ranging from beginner to expert; infinite undo and redo capability, as well as replaying of solutions; a choice of smooth graphics or a minimal, text based version; and a level editor to allow you to design your own puzzles.
Release Notes: Walls no long erroneously appear when undoing explosions in XOR darkness.
