27 Jul 22:12 PDF OCR X 1.8.8

PDF OCR is a simple drag-and-drop utility that converts PDFs and images into text documents. It uses advanced OCR (optical character recognition) technology to extract the text of the PDF or image. This is particularly useful for dealing with PDFs and images that were created via a scan-to-PDF function in a scanner or photo copier. It uses the Tesseract engine to perform OCR, and currently supports over 20 languages for OCR.

Release Notes: This release fixes a bug causing blank output in single column mode. This bug affected versions 1.8.5-1.8.7.

27 Jul 22:10 gwhois 20100727

gwhois is a generic whois client (and server) which strives to know the right server to query for each and every top level domain and IP address. You can ask gwhois about a domain or IP address, and it will automatically forward your query to the appropriate server. It even queries whois servers that can only be reached by a Web form, and outputs the results as text. It can be used as a client or as a relaying server, so you can use your normal whois client to ask gwhois.

Release Notes: All lookups at ARIN WHOIS that were broken after changes at ARIN were fixed, new Debian translations were added, and the IPv6 patterns were updated and fixed.

27 Jul 22:10 x509watch 0.2.0

x509watch is a simple command line application that can be used to list soon expiring or already expired X.509 certificates, such as SSL certificates. All certificates are searched by default in the standard PKI directory, but any other directory can be specified as a parameter. Only Base64 encoded DER and PEM X.509 certificates are supported.

Release Notes: This release replaces the find(1) call (from fileutils) with Perl's File::Find. It executes /usr/bin/openssl rather than openssl in $PATH by default; an alternative path to the OpenSSL binary can be set via a parameter. It uses IPC::Open3 rather than open() to pipe certificates to OpenSSL. It replaces the remaining open() with sysopen() for better file handling.

27 Jul 22:09 phpoi 0.8.0

27 Jul 22:08 Dada Mail 4.2.0 Beta 2

Dada Mail can help you manage a mailing list, offers complete support for safe, closed-loop opt-in subscriptions, sends out mass mailings, keeps an archive of your messages, and allows you to share your messages in many ways. It runs on your Web hosting account and you interact with it through your Web browser, making it available anywhere you have a connection to the Internet. You do not have to rely on a third-party list management system with costly monthly fees. It is rich with features, but tries to keep it simple. It is designed to favor flexibility, extensibility, and ease-of-use over core speed or extremely flashy but hard-to-use features. It is designed to be installed, set up, and understood by regular people who have Web sites, but has enough advanced features to entice more proficient users. If you've ever installed a bulletin board or blog software, you should be able to install Dada Mail without too many problems. Dada Mail can scale. You can install Dada Mail on most any basic hosting account and start sending out messages. If your mailing list grows large, you can switch to sending with a more powerful third-party system, like Amazon SES, where there's potentially no limit on the number of emails you may send, all without having to change mailing list management systems or your hosting.

Release Notes: This release features the addition of a Web-based installer, so that Dada Mail can be installed without needing to manually edit config files, create directory structures, or create SQL schemas. The installer may also be used to easily upgrade. It is hoped that the Web-based installer will help casual users utilize Dada Mail, as well as save time for everyone.

27 Jul 22:07 mandoc 1.10.5

Release Notes: This is a primarily bugfix and polish release, but includes -Tpdf support in mandoc by way of Summer of Code. It fixes Sm and Bd handling, fixes end-of-sentence handling for embedded sentences, polishes the man documentation, documents all mdoc macros, polishes mandoc -Tps output, has many internal clean-ups in character escapes, un-breaks literal contexts in man documents, improves -Thtml output for -man, and adds mandoc -Tpdf support.

27 Jul 22:05 FunkLoad 1.13.0

27 Jul 13:53 tvpvrd 1.3.7

tvpvrd is a PVR daemon for Linux that offers the ability to schedule and manage TV recordings using one or multiple installed analogue TV capture cards, e.g. Hauppauge. The daemon is interfaced either through its full command language via a provided command line shell or through a basic (built-in) Web interface provided by the built in micro Web server. The goal is to provide an advanced recording and transcoding (using ffmpeg) server without the need to configure databases or a complex GUI. The server is completely self-contained and uses an XML DB in plain text format to store future recordings.

Release Notes: A few enhancements and minor fixes were made. The correct system locale is set when started as a bootscript with an option to specify the desired locale in the ini-file. The "wt" command was added to list waiting transcodings. A parameter was added to the "l" command to limit the number of listed recordings. Some output formatting from commands was adjusted so that all output are consistent. Mail notification when transcoding is finished was added. The DB is now always updated after each change to avoid being affected by power outages. The NTSC video frame format was added. Some internal code cleanup was done.
