deltasql 1.0.9
deltasql is a tool to synchronize databases with source code, which helps to keep database evolution under control. While developing mid-sized or big applications, developers make changes to the data model that go along with changes to the source code. From time to time, branches of source code are done to stabilize the code that will go to production. A sort of data model branch is also needed. deltasql provides a simple way to collect all scripts that change the data model and means to handle data model branches. The deltasql server runs on Apache and is backed by MySQL.
Release Notes: This maintenance release contains minor fixes based on community feedback.

Argyll Color Management System (ArgyllCMS)...
Argyll is an ICC compatible color management system. It supports accurate ICC profile creation for scanners, CMYK printers, and film recorders, and calibration and profiling of displays. Spectral sample data is supported, allowing a selection of illuminants observer types, and paper fluorescent whitener additive compensation. Profiles can also incorporate source specific gamut mappings for perceptual and saturation intents. Gamut mapping and profile linking uses the CIECAM02 appearance model, a unique gamut mapping algorithm, and a wide selection of rendering intents. It also includes code for a fast 8-bit raster color conversion engine as well as support for fast, fully accurate 16-bit conversion. Device color gamuts can also be viewed and compared using a VRML viewer.
Release Notes: Gamut mapping was improved. MS Windows 64-bit USB driver support was added. The illumread tool was added for reading illuminant U.V. for improved FWA (OBA) compensation. Minor bug fixes and improvements were done.

WOSH Framework 0.8.462
WOSH (Wide Open Smart Home) is a message-oriented middleware for controlling and automating a smart home. It comes with working services and devices. WOSH is an open multi-platform C++ framework. Its architecture is service (bundles) oriented and designed for distributed (cloud) computing. WOSH ships with library source, many services, and some applications (a server, a trayicon remote controller, and a GUI full-controller). Some features provided by its micro-kernel are a multi-user system with access policies, a centralized database manager and system monitor, and automatic network management and masquerading (on TCP). Some of the implemented services are: multimedia audio playback, monitor and control of X10 devices, remote control using instant messaging, and a remote control using SMS and call notification.
Release Notes: Minor and major bugs were fixed in both the core and bundles. Weather and Gardener bundles are being introduced.

PDF OCR X 1.8.9
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: A bug causing blank output on some versions of Snow Leopard was fixed.

Release Notes: This is a critical release that fixes a bug that could cause the library to continue processing well beyond the end of the MIDI data. Also, the long-awaited Win32 builds are available via a zip file. The zip contains the licenses, player, the dll, and text versions of the manpages. Other changes in this release include a tidy up of the way the player displays information, and a new internal error function for more detailed error reporting.

Openwall GNU/*/Linux current-20100729
Owl (Openwall GNU/*/Linux) is a small security-enhanced Linux distribution for servers. Owl also makes a good base system for customized virtual machine images and embedded systems, and Owl live CDs with remote SSH access are good for recovering or installing systems (whether with Owl or not). A single Owl CD includes the full live system, installable packages, the installer program, as well as full source code and the build environment capable of rebuilding the entire system from source. Owl supports multiple architectures (x86, x86-64, SPARC, and Alpha) and offers some compatibility for packages developed for other Linux distributions. The primary approaches to security are proactive source code review, privilege reduction, privilege separation, careful selection of third-party software, safe defaults, and "hardening" to reduce the likelihood of successful exploitation of security flaws.
Release Notes: The kernel has been updated to OpenVZ's latest from their "rhel5" branch (2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.028stab070.2) with minor additional changes, and RPM-packaged in a way allowing for easy non-packaged builds as well. Support for the ext4 filesystem has been added, and ext4 is now offered for new installs. CD bootup and the installer have been improved. The passwdqc, strace, lftp, tcb, JtR, and Postfix packages have been updated to new versions, and changes have been made to several other packages. New ISO images and OpenVZ container templates have been generated for i686 and x86-64.

It provides support for Flash v8, Flash v9, Flash Lite, and ActionScript, allowing you to create, parse, and modify Flash files. Using Aspose.Flash, you can create banners with animation, menus, whole sites, GIS maps, or simple games. It can also insert images, shapes, simple morphing, gradients, audio, and video streams to your Flash files.
Release Notes: This release includes a new overload for the Unpack method to exclude the sound while converting an FLV file to SWF. FLV to SWF conversion was enhanced. An unexpected font parsing issue was improved. XML and SWF merging was enhanced.

mbrChunker 0.3.17
mbrChunker is a utility that allows you to mount raw disk images (created by dd, dcfldd, dc3dd, ftk imager, etc.) and create VMDK files. It does this by taking the raw image, analyzing the master boot record (physical sector 0), and getting specific information that is need to create a working VMDK file that points to your raw image. It can also extract information such as heads, cylinders, and sectors per track. With version 0.3.15, the tool now has the ability to search for hex byte offsets within any binary file. It will give you the byte location for every hex pattern found. More information about this can be found in the README.
Release Notes: The hex byte searching functionality was flawed and had to be rewritten. Additionally, it could not handle files larger than 2-3gb in size but now can handle files of any size given the new redesign. A -b flag was added to let the user customize how big the buffer will be when searching for your hex string. All three functions, dd2vmdk, MBR analysis, and hex byte string searching, work fine under any Linux OS.
