YAGF 0.9
YAGF is a graphical frontend for the cuneiform and tesseract OCR tools. It lets you open already scanned image files or obtain new images via XSane (scanning results are automatically passed to YAGF). Once you have a scanned image you can prepare it for recognition, select particular image areas for recognition, set the recognition language and so on. Recognized text is displayed in an editor window where it can be spell-checked, corrected, saved to disk, or copied to clipboard. YAGF also provides some facilities for a multi-page recognition.
Release Notes: This release added automatic removal of the black edges appearing while scanning small documents. This option may be turned off in the settings dialog. Images are loaded and processed a bit faster. Image deskewing is improved. New recognition languages are added (requires Tesseract 3+).

The minimum hardware requirement for ttyliux-i486 is a 486SX with 24 MB of RAM and 16 MB hard drive space.

YUMRepoManager 1.0.0-1
YUMRepoManager is a YUM configuration manager. It allows users to easily manage repository configurations, use most of YUM's options, enable and disable YUM plugins, and edit configuration files. It supports drag-and-drop of .repo files from and to your file manager, the option to change the createrepo arguments, and creation of a local repository from a directory which contains .rpm files or a YUM cache in a directory specified by the user. When finished, the YUM cache will be linked to the place where the repository has been created, unifying the YUM cache into a single folder, so that the packages installed after this point will be placed in this new path instead of the YUM cache.
Release Notes: This is the initial release.

Anywhere Board Games 0.120305
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 Go, Chess, and Reversi to its list of pre-configured games. From these samples, the authors hope to encourage others to use ABG to develop their own games.

Dnsmasq 2.60
Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It is designed to provide DNS and (optionally) DHCP to a small network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP/TFTP for network booting of diskless machines.
Release Notes: This release adds major new features, Lua scripting, and DHCPv6. The scripting interface has been expanded to allow DHCP scripting in Lua. The Lua interpreter is part of the dnsmasq process and remains resident, giving global variables that are persistent between calls to the script.

The interpreter is secure and expressive, allowing comprehensive control over program execution and providing powerful methods of application integration.
Release Notes: A bug corrupting function returns was fixed. A bug in the r_less function was fixed. A bug with the newly introduced executive assembler was fixed. The bug was causing the applications to crash when destroying objects referenced only by function arguments. The associative array library available for the interpreted programs has been expanded.

Basic Local Alignment Search Tool 2.2.26
BLAST is a set of similarity search programs designed to explore all of the available sequence databases regardless of whether the query is protein or DNA. It uses a heuristic algorithm which seeks local as opposed to global alignments, and is therefore able to detect relationships among sequences which share only isolated regions of similarity. It can be run locally as a full executable, and can be used to run BLAST searches against private, local databases, or downloaded copies of the NCBI databases. It runs on Mac OS, Win32, LINUX, Solaris, IBM AIX, SGI, Compaq OSF, and HP- UX systems.
Release Notes: This release adds the Domain Enhanced Look-up Time Accelerated BLAST application, a new finite size correction (FSC) algorithm, and the Makeprofiledb application. Assorted bugfixes.
05 Mar 22:42
Lziprecover 1.13
Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the lzip compressed data format (.lz) able to repair slightly damaged files, recover badly damaged files from two or more copies, extract undamaged members from multi-member files, decompress files, test integrity of files, extract a range of bytes from a file, and list the correct size of multi-member files. Lziprecover is able to recover or decompress files produced by any of the compressors in the lzip family; lzip, plzip, minilzip/lzlib, clzip, and pdlzip. This recovery capability contributes to make the lzip format one of the best options for long-term data archiving.
Release Notes: Lziprecover is now distributed in its own package. Until version 1.12, it was included in the lzip package. Decompressor options (-c, -d, -k, -t) have been implemented so that an external decompressor is not needed for recovery nor for "make check". The new option "-D, --range-decompress", which extracts a range of bytes decompressing only the members containing the desired data, has been added. The new option "-l, --list", which prints correct total file sizes and ratios even for multi-member files, has been added. "--merge" and "--repair" now remove the output file if recovery fails.
