It provides a variety of cryptographic algorithms, including common ones such as AES, MD5, SHA, HMAC, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, DSA, and ECDSA, as well as many others that are more obscure or specialized. It also offers SSL/TLS (client and server), X.509v3 certificates and CRLs, and PKCS #10 certificate requests. A message processing system that uses a filter/pipeline metaphor allows for many common cryptographic tasks to be completed with just a few lines of code. Assembly and SIMD optimizations for common CPUs offers speedups for critical algorithms like AES and SHA-1.
Release Notes: This version adds a SSLv3/TLSv1.0 implementation, the GOST 34.10-2001 signature scheme, and the XSalsa20 stream cipher. New countermeasures against fault attacks on signature schemes are included. New SIMD optimizations for the IDEA and Noekeon block ciphers are available, and CBC and XTS modes can now make use of cipher implementations that use SIMD. A SQLite-like amalgamation option is now available, making botan very easy to distribute in applications. The dependency on TR1 for ECC has been removed, making ECDSA/ECDH available on Windows and with older compilers.

jsonwidget 0.1.3
jsonwidget is a set of libraries implementing a form interface for editing arbitrary JSON files. There are two implementations so far: jsonwidget-python, a terminal window implementation suitable for editing forms via ssh or in a local terminal window, and jsonwidget-javascript, a client-side JavaScript library that generates a basic HTML form interface in a Web browser. Application designers using one of these libraries have the option of providing a schema, limiting the input to a subset of valid JSON compatible with whatever application is actually consuming the JSON, or using a provided permissive schema that allows any valid JSON. The libraries are capable of dynamically generating a form is using nothing more than a schema and a JSON file as input.
Release Notes: This release is packaged for Ubuntu Karmic.

TMAPI 2.0.1
TMAPI is a programming interface for accessing and manipulating data held in a topic map. The TMAPI specification defines a set of core interfaces which must be implemented by a compliant application, as well as a set of additional interfaces which may be implemented by a compliant application or which may be built upon the core interfaces. The goal is to define a common programming interface for all topic map processors, enabling portable code and a shorter learning curve for developers moving between topic map processers.
Release Notes: This is the first revision of the 2.0 final branch. TMAPI is deployable as an OSGi bundle now. Further, the test suite was updated and the documentation is more precise.
