Aspose.Diagram is a class library for working with MS Visio files. It is a pure .NET alternative for MS Visio Object Model. It enables developers to work with VSD and VDX files on ASP.NET Web applications, Web services, and desktop applications. It makes use of the advanced functionality of Visio's services to manipulate Visio documents on a server. A developer can open files and manipulate the elements of the diagram, from lines and fills to more complex elements, and then export to native Visio formats or XML.
Release Notes: This release supports connecting shapes easily using a single API. For this purpose, it introduces the Page.ConnectShapesViaConnector API. It also supports radial and circular layouts. Users can now lay out shapes in radial and circular styles. Some important fixes have also been included in this release. Creating Geom sections for "connector" by parsing formulas, calculating coordinates of the ends of "connector" after connect shapes, and enhanced loading of VSD are also supported now.
Chakra Linux is a Linux distribution that combines the simplicity of Arch Linux with KDE. It is fast, user-friendly, and extremely powerful. It can be used as a live CD or installed to hard disk. Chakra is currently under heavy and active development. It features a graphical installer and automatic hardware configuration. Chakra provides a modular and tweaked package set of the KDE Software Compilation with a lot of useful additions. It features the concept of half-rolling releases and freshly cooked packages and bundles. It is designed for people who really want to learn something about Linux or don't want to deal with administrative overhead.
Release Notes: This release brings the first stable release of the Calligra office suite, KDE software compilation 4.8.2, Linux kernel 3.2.8, Qt 4.8.1, an updated sound stack, krb5, phonon packages, and a switch from modulue-init-tools to kmod. From this release on, Chakra is no longer shipping a GUI for package management.

An Equalizer-based application runs unmodified on any visualization system, from a simple workstation to large scale graphics clusters, multi-GPU workstations, and Virtual Reality installations.
Release Notes: This release fixes an RSP race during connection, sequels missing from packages, the installed example CMake build not working, race and performance issues with multicast object distribution, --eq-layout being activated on the second frame, and installing "find" scripts in the CMake root.
The Big Faceless PDF Library is a Java class library for creating PDF documents. The Extended Edition offers the ability to create and edit AcroForms, PDF's answer to the HTML form. Like HTML forms, PDF forms can contain text boxes, radio buttons, and can call JavaScript functions. The Extended Edition also includes a PDF reader for importing and editing, along with FDF support, verification for digital signatures and text extraction. Both variations offer full Unicode support, encryption, embedded TrueType and Type1 fonts, barcodes, hyperlinks, and spot and calibrated color.
Release Notes: This release adds an OpenType layout engine, replaces ImageIO-based JPEG and JPEG2000 decoding with a new implementation, makes PostScript functions an order of magnitude faster (this will mainly help those rasterizing PDFs containing DeviceN colors), adds a PDFImage.quantize() method to convert CMYK or RGB images to indexed, and changes the position/size of text in the text and choice fields to match Acrobat more closely.
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: This is a bugfix release for a serious breakage in strtol and related functions which made it into the previous release and prevented them from handling numbers with initial spaces. A couple of other small issues have been fixed, too.
FreeIPMI provides in-band and out-of-band IPMI software based on the IPMI v1.5/2.0 specification. It has a number of useful features for large HPC or cluster environments.
Release Notes: This release adds OEM extensions and SEL OEM interpretations for the Intel S2600JF/Appro 512x, SEL and sensor monitoring interpretations for the Intel S5000PAL, various documentation updates, and minor bugfixes.
Loadbars is a small script that can be used to observe CPU loads of several remote servers at once in real time. It connects with SSH (using SSH public/private key auth) to several servers at once and vizualizes all server CPUs and memory statistics right next each other (either summarized or each core separately). Loadbars is not a tool for collecting CPU loads and drawing graphs for later analysis. However, since such tools require a significant amount of time before producing results, Loadbars lets you observe the current state immediately. Loadbars does not remember or record any load information. It just shows the current CPU usages like top or vmstat does.
Release Notes: This release sleeps 0.5s instead of 3s if an ssh command fails. It redraws the background on toggling text display (which should fix some weird display bugs).

Release Notes: The Bourne Shell now supports umask -S and a symbolic POSIX compliant mode to set umask. The Bourne Shell builtin "read" now supports the POSIX option -r. The Bourne Shell builtin "ulimit" now supports the options -l, -m, and -u for better *BSD and Linux compatibility. All known unfixed bugs in the SVr4.0 Bourne Shell from 1990 have been fixed. The Bourne Shell man page got a major reworking and, among other features, describes the commandline history editor.
Miro (previously known as Democracy Player) is a platform for Internet television and video. It allows you to download and watch videos from RSS feeds (including podcasts, video blogs, and BitTorrent feeds).
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug which caused feeds to stop updating, a bug which caused non-torrent downloads (feeds or individual) to update on download and use the filename instead of the original item name, and a bug related to the error message "TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "set") to list".
Agile Toolkit is a powerful object-oriented platform for Web user interface development. It can help you build a simple administration system or Web data manager quickly and with ease. It focuses on seamless integration while being simple to learn. Agile Toolkit fills the gaps between ORM and the user interface. It lets you focus on the business logic of your application and leave implementation details (such as HTML, JavaScript, AJAX, and CSS) to Agile Toolkit.
Release Notes: This release is the result of a half year of effort and is based on the feedback received on version 4.1. Improvements are focused on refactoring, documentation, add-ons, relational orm, pdo, enterprise features, and CSS boilerplate. This version requires PHP 5.3.
