Urbi is a robotics software platform. It includes a C++/Java middleware API called UObject to interface components such as motors, cameras, and algorithms, and an innovative scripting language, urbiscript, with built-in support for parallel and event-based programming, used to write high-level behaviors and orchestrate the interactions between components. UObject components are built as shared libraries exposed as native objects within urbiscript, and either hot-plugged in a running Urbi engine, or started as a remote autonomous process communicating with the engine via the network. At any time, new urbiscript code can be sent to a running Urbi engine via a simple telnet, to introspect the state of components, modify existing code, or add new behaviors. Urbi is cross-platform and supports several robots (Gostai Jazz, Lego Mindstorms, Aldebaran Nao, Segway RMP, Spykee, Bioloid, etc.) and a simulator (Webots).
Release Notes: This release includes several performance improvements and bugfixes in both the UObject layer, and the urbiscript engine. The Logger object allows saving of log information (such as errors, warnings, or traces). Support for profiling urbiscript code (including code running in the background such as "at" clauses). A new construct, "watch", creates an event that allows monitoring any change of an expression.
LAPACK is a linear algebra library, based on LINPACK and EISPACK, designed to provide routines for handling simultaneous equations and matrix algebra efficiently, particularly on shared memory vector processors, parallel processors, and clusters.

It compiles and runs on Unix platforms, Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Windows CE.
Release Notes: This release improves performance and scalability for databases with several million items. It fixes a bug when erasing extended keys caused an SMO (btree re-balancing). A new function ham_cursor_get_record_size was introduced. The cache size is now a 64-bit variable and can be > 4 GB. Large files were enabled on 32-bit Linux.
CeMoSShE (CEntral MOnitoring in a Simple SHell Environment) is a simple, lightweight (both in size and system requirements) server monitoring package designed for secure and in-depth monitoring of a handful of typical/critical Internet systems. It was forked from MoSShE in 2011 due to a change in direction. While the core of CeMoSShE is still the original MoSShE, some critical concepts have changed direction, most specifically the focus on delivering the database of checks to a central server, as opposed to having them pulled.
Release Notes: A couple of minor bug fixes and a general re-organization of the program files layout. Most notably, the checks and shows have been moved to /etc/cemosshe so that an upgrade doesn't overwrite custom definitions.

Dateutils are a bunch of tools that revolve around fiddling with dates and times in the command line, with a strong focus on use cases that arise when dealing with large amounts of financial data. Their target market is shell scripts that need date calculations or calendar conversions, and as such they are highly pipe-able and modeled after their well-known cousins (e.g. dtest vs. test, or dgrep vs. grep).
Release Notes: The dcal and tcal binaries have been renamed "dconv" and "tconv", respectively, due to a naming conflict with the tcal binary from the gcal package. Many numerical specifiers now cope with the "th" flag to denote ordinals ("%dth %b %Y" applied to 2011-10-03 will yield "3rd Oct 2011"). Business days can be denoted by suffixing them with "b". Both in the input and the specs, the "b" modifier, like the "th" modifier, is a suffix and serves formatting and notation purposes. Many GNU-isms have been removed to facilitate *BSD builds.

The goal of Cheix USB is a Linux image executing from a USB storage device into a running OS, either Linux or Windows, so that the host machine does not have to support booting from the USB device. The root filesystem and boot partitions are read-only to preserve the USB device. All writes are done in a tmpfs. The only writes to the USB storage device are those explicitly made by the user. Cheix's ISO can currently be used to create either a bootable USB or a hard-drive installation.
Release Notes: The Cheix image is now booting from a USB device using LILO in USB's MBR. In rc.S, a remount of / to readonly was added because the kernel modules mount the USB readwrite before the fsck check comes in. The creation of a user's password and the "rm vi" error in install_cheix.sh have been fixed. Halt and reboot are now chowned to 4755 for user convenience. The cheix_admin script now mounts and remounts both / and /boot. The INSTALL file had been updated. Handling of the user's .profile and .bashrc has been improved.
