QSMM, the "QSMM State Machine Model", is a framework for development of non-deterministic intelligent state models and systems with spur-driven behavior. It includes low-level functions for generating optimal actions by the system and high-level functions for building multinode models. In a multinode model, nodes represent components of a system you develop which choose optimal actions using the framework and can correspond to entities external to the system and which behavior is to be learnt. A node can choose optimal actions based on a current node state which is either set manually by your program or is identified automatically by the framework. Probability profiles for a state transition matrix and an action emission matrix of the node can be specified using an assembler program with a user-defined instruction set.
Release Notes: The most important improvement made is handling a case when a state transition matrix and an action emission matrix of a node are sparse ones. It is the most typical case for those matrices, for which probability profiles are specified by an assembler program loaded into the node. Special support for sparse matrices allows fast execution of an assembler program that contains thousands of states.
storebackup is a backup utility that stores files on other disks. It includes several optimizations that reduce the disk space needed and improve performance, and unifies the advantages of traditional full and incremental backups. It also can handle big image files with block-wise changes efficiently. Depending on its contents, every file is stored only once on disk. It includes tools for analyzing backup data and restoring. Once archived, files are accessible by mounting filesystems (locally, or via Samba or NFS). It is easy to install and configure.
Release Notes: New functionality: estimation if compression will make sense; offline backups without access to central backup repository (isolated mode); replication of backups, which lets you generate an unlimited number of (time shifted) replicas of your backup(s). Some bugfixes.
dns.c is a recursive, re-entrant, non-blocking DNS resolver in a single .c file. It features a record-agnostic API, restartable record iterators, and smart queries which recursively follow out-of-bailiwick NS, MX, and SRV host references. It works just as well as a stub resolver, too. It also includes spf.c, a non-blocking SPF resolver with no threading, no forking, and no run-time dependencies.
Release Notes: This release fixes a FreeBSD regression, adds /etc/nsswitch.conf configuration support, and adds SIGPIPE suppression.
Lbzip2 is a parallel, SMP-based, bzip2-compatible compression utility, with a commandline resembling that of the original bzip2. It is usable both on its own and as a filter passed to GNU tar with the "--use-compress-program" option. It uses Gnulib, and its building and testing process is managed by the GNU build system. Starting with release 2.0, lbzip2 is independent of libbz2 and features yambi, an independent BWT compression stack with improved speed and robustness.
Release Notes: The decompressor was made more bzip2-compatible. All valid bzip2 files should now be properly decompressed by lbzip2. Memory allocation was reduced significantly. Compression performance was improved by the inclusion of new block-sorting code using the divsufsort algorithm. This version also fixes a few other minor bugs.
Interleave is a Web-enabled business process automation application. It enables you to model your business process like purchasing, project management, and contract management and make it available online.

You can create invoices, export to RTF and PDF based on templates, export to MS Excel, interpret incoming email, and publish your data to the Web.
Release Notes: This release adds a lot of new features, especially in the AJAX-enabled department. It adds client-side field validation with PHP, a lot of styling improvements, and a lot of bugfixes. The administration section got a makeover. Flextables now have even more options to control their behavior, and the performance of flaxtables is better. New trigger events have been added, and a new way to do database upgrades has been implemented.
The Legend of Edgar is a 2D platform game with a persistent world.

F-Engrave designs can also be exported as SVG files.
Release Notes: This release adds the ability to use Potrace as a helper program to load PBM images into F-engrave by converting PBM images to DXF paths on the fly. Helper programs (potrace and ttf2cxf_stream) can now be located anywhere in the search path (previously, they had to be located in the F-Engrave script directory).
