Zutils 1.0-rc3
Zutils is a collection of utilities able to deal with any combination of compressed and non-compressed files transparently. If any given file, including standard input, is compressed, its decompressed content is used. Compressed files are decompressed on the fly; no temporary files are created. These utilities are not wrapper scripts but safer and more efficient C++ programs. In particular the "--recursive" option is very efficient in those utilities supporting it. The provided utilities are zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zgrep, and ztest. The supported compressors are bzip2, gzip, lzip, and xz.
Release Notes: This release adds minor fixes. The new option "--format", which forces the use of a given compression format, has been added to all utilities. The target "install-bin" has been added to the Makefile.

Anywhere Board Games 0.121029
Anywhere Board Games (ABG) allows users to play board and card games on the Web in real time on multiple machines (PC, Linux, iPhone, iPad, and Android). ABG runs as a Google+ Hangout App or as a standalone PHP app. Unlike other gaming environments, this one has a peculiar vision: projecting the main board on our table and using laptops or tablets to control players' hands (with other friends joining in remotely). It supports flipping, stacking, rotating, rolling, and shuffling of pieces, so most board and card games are playable.
Release Notes: This release adds the ability to redirect a game board to a new URL (such as a local ABG server). This allows players to use the same game in in both mobile devices and a Google+ Hangout.

Galera wsrep provider 2.2
Galera wsrep provider is a dlopenable generic replication library which implements the wsrep provider API. It provides very efficient synchronous replication, and multi-master and "parallel applying" capabilities for opaque data buffers. Its primary focus is data consistency. A transaction is either applied on every node, or not at all. It works anywhere TCP works, including on WAN, and can utilize UDP multicast where available. It is used by the MySQL-wsrep patch project to create true multi-master MySQL/InnoDB clusters.
Release Notes: This release contains important bugfixes, new features, and performance improvements. Fixed: causal reads guarantee violation at cluster partitioning, exclusive keys didn't produce dependency on shared keys, a race condition in the desync method (could break RSU), IST not working across different EC2 accessibility zones (and similar), and causal reads timeout configuration was ignored. Added: an wsrep_incoming_addresses status variable, the ability to specify several node addresses in a gcomm:// URL. Significant speedups and memory footprint reduction on ranged queries.

musl 0.9.7
musl is a new implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems. It is lightweight, fast, simple, free, and strives to be correct in the sense of standards-conformance and safety. It includes a wrapper for building programs against musl in place of the system standard library (e.g. glibc), making it possible to immediately evaluate the library and build compact statically linked binaries with it.
Release Notes: Major new features include support for thread-local storage (__thread/_Thread_local keyword) and a port to Microblaze. Notable quality and conformance improvements have been made in the areas of setting the close-on-exec flag for library-internal file descriptors to avoid fd leaks, using vfork in posix_spawn, system, and popen to make these functions work well even in very large programs, support for recursive calls to dlopen (from constructors), and avoiding executable stacks. Various low-impact bugs have also been fixed.
