TaskJuggler is a modern and powerful project and to-do list management tool. Its new approach to project planning and tracking is far superior to the commonly used Gantt chart editing tools. It has already been successfully used in many projects and scales easily to projects with hundreds of resources and thousands of tasks. It covers the complete spectrum of project management tasks from the first idea to the completion of the project. It assists you during project scoping, resource assignment, cost and revenue planing, and risk and communication management.
Release Notes: A new report type to track values over time has been added. This can be used e.g. to generate burndown charts for your Scrum project or simply track any task or resource attribute over time. The data is stored as a CSV report and can be exported to other CSV aware applications.
Webminstats is a Webmin module designed to store system information in an rrdtool database and to display historic (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and custom) graphs. It is modular in design, so as to be able to log everything from CPU usage to email box size.
Release Notes: A new module (postgres) is added. Some modules (custom, genfiles, genproc, hplog, irq, load, ping, and snmp) are promoted to stable release (1.0). Several bugs are fixed on (Free)BSD. A lot of work was done to standardize module code.
The "expp" tool (the Epeios XML preprocessor) reads an XML file to transform it to another XML file. It simplifies the writing of XML files by allowing the handling of macros, the definition and testing of variables, the inclusion of files, and more. This is done by writing, directly in the source XML file, predefined tags owned by a given namespace, tags which are then recognised and handled by the "expp" tool. The tool is also available as a Java native component.
Release Notes: 'CDATA' sections are now handled properly. The corresponding Java native component was introduced.
iBodyFat calculates your body fat percentage and keeps a log of your results. Two different calculations are presented for each measurement made. The body fat percentage formulas used by iBodyFat are the girth body fat calculations invented by the U.S. Navy and professional body builder and writer Hugo Rivera. For taking girth body fat measurements, no special equipment is needed. All that is required is a vinyl tape measure.
Release Notes: This release added a per-person preference for imperial or metric units when taking new measurements, with all conversions automatically calculated. Existing persons will continue to use imperial. Dynamic graphics were added for measurement dialogs based on gender and unit type preference. Documentation was updated.
OXID eShop is an eCommerce system backed by a flexible range of support and licensing options, Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings, and additional Enterprise features.
Release Notes: This release provides downloadable products, RDFa + GoodRelations support, and a bunch of other cool features. Module handling was revamped and performance was improved.
GNU ed is an 8-bit clean implementation of the POSIX line-oriented text editor. Ed is the "standard" text editor in the sense that it is the original editor for Unix, and thus widely available. For most purposes, however, it is superseded by full-screen editors such as GNU Emacs or GNU Moe.
Release Notes: Ed now shows the "Try 'ed --help' for more information." message if a bad option is given on the command line. Quote characters in messages have been changed as advised by GNU Coding Standards. The "--datadir" configure option has been renamed to "--datarootdir" to follow GNU Standards.
Hiawatha is a secure and advanced Web server for Unix. It has been written with security as its main goal. It features a rootjail, the ability to run CGIs under any UID/GID you want, prevention of SQL injection and cross-site scripting, banning of clients who try such exploits, and many other features. These features make Hiawatha an interesting Web server for those who need more security than what the other available Web servers are offering. Hiawatha is also fast and easy to configure.
Release Notes: This release contains new features that makes Hiawatha able to serve the ownCloud application.
LPAR2RRD makes historical, future trends and nearly "realtime" CPU utilization graphs of LPARs and shared CPU usage of IBM Power servers. It collects complete physical and logical configuration of all servers/LPARs. It is agent-less (it gets everything from the HMC/SDMC or IVM). It supports all kinds of logical partitions (AIX/AS400/Linux/VIOS).
Release Notes: This version contain fixes and enhances for "Physical and Logical cfg".
JID is a system that can deserialize, update, and reserialize a map of 10,000 entries in 4 milliseconds on an i5 at 2.53 GHz. Serialization/reserialization timings are largely independent of the size and complexity of the table entries. Incremental serialization/deserialization is used to achieve high performance.
Release Notes: The tuple package has been simplified, and some general cleanup was undertaken.
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 added support for reading/writing PDFs with AES-256 Encryption as used by Acrobat X. Version numbers when reading/writing PDFs with ISO 32000 extensions were corrected. Exceptions when rendering documents containing progressive JPEG images were fixed. Memory footprint when moving pages from one PDF to another was reduced. A crash and/or incorrect glyph widths in the resulting document when merging certain types of font with the MergeResources feature was fixed.
The Big Faceless Java PDF Viewer is a Swing component that can display PDF documents. It is intended for developers who don't require the full API. The PDF Viewer can be installed as an applet, an application, via Java Web Start, or embedded in a Swing application. Printing, saving, text search, forms, digital signatures, and annotations are some of the many features available. The viewer can be tailored to include just the features you need, and is a cost-effective solution for those needing the features of Adobe Acrobat on a Java platform.
Release Notes: A crash and/or incorrect glyph widths in the resulting document when merging certain types of font with the MergeResources feature was fixed. The memory footprint when profiling or extracting text from documents with large bitmap images was reduced. An issue with the OpenType layout engine that would prevent features from being set on digits was fixed. A minor deviation from spec for the StandardFont class was fixed.
The Big Faceless Report Generator is a Java application for converting source documents written in XML to PDF. Built on top of the Big Faceless PDF & Graph Libraries, the Report Generator combines these features and wraps an XML parser around them. Using JSP, ASP, XSL, or similar, creating dynamic PDF documents directly from a database is now as easy as HTML.
Release Notes: An "aes256" option was added as an encryption algorithm (requires Acrobat X). A "font-feature-settings" attribute was added for turning OpenType font settings on or off. A "quantize" option was added for when importing images, to downsample 24- or 32-bit images to 8-bit on the fly.
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). 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 requires a PHP 5 server. While it is in beta (frequent updates), it supports flipping, stacking, rotating, rolling, and shuffling of pieces, so most board and card games are playable.
Release Notes: This release makes manipulating pieces easier with a mouse: the left button for moving, the middle button for flipping, and the right button for rotating a piece.
Rudiments is a C++ class library providing base classes for things such as daemons, clients, and servers, and wrapper classes for the standard C functions for things like regular expressions, semaphores, and signal handling.
Release Notes: This urgent bugfix release fixes an error in charstring::copy() that can cause segfaults.
Drupal is a modular content management system, forum, blogging and community engine. It is database driven and can be used with MySQL, MySQLi, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Its features include (but are not limited to) discussion forums, Web-based administration, theme support, a submission queue, content rating, content versioning, taxonomy support, user management with a fine-grained permission system based on user roles (groups), error logging, support for content syndication, locale support, and much more.

It can be used either standalone or as a client/server system for centralized monitoring, with strong (192-bit AES) encryption for client/server connections and the option to store databases and configuration files on the server. For tamper resistance, it supports signed database/configuration files and signed reports/audit logs. It has been tested on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and Unixware.
Release Notes: This release fixes inotify-related bugs leading to extraneous "file not found" reports.
Beltane is a Web-based central management console for the samhain file integrity system. If samhain is used in a client/server setup, beltane enables the administrator to browse client reports, acknowledge them, and update file signature databases stored centrally on the log server.
Release Notes: Some problems related to the samhain "stealth" option have been fixed, as well as an incorrect error check in the beltane_update command. The display of md5 and sha1 checksums has been modified to better match the output of md5sum/shasum.

DBeauty is a relationship-oriented database browser. It provides insight into both the data and the interrelation of the rows, and allows you to navigate bidirectionally through the database by following foreign-key-based or user-defined relationships.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug concerning multi-line VARCHARs in Oracle.
ODB is a compiler-based object-relational mapping (ORM) system for C++. It allows you to persist C++ objects to a relational database without having to deal with tables, columns, or SQL and without manually writing any mapping code. The C++ code that performs the conversion between persistent classes and their database representation is automatically generated by the ODB compiler. The ODB compiler is a real C++ compiler except that instead of producing assembly or machine code, it generates portable C++, which can in turn be compiled by any C++ compiler. ODB is not a framework. It does not dictate how you should write your application. Rather, it is designed to fit into your style and architecture by only handling C++ object persistence and not interfering with any other functionality.
Release Notes: Major new features in this release include support for C++11, polymorphism, composite objects IDs (composite primary keys), and the NULL semantics for composite values. This release has also been tested with GCC 4.7 and Clang 3.0, with the ODB compiler now supporting the GCC 4.7 series plugin interface. This release also introduces a free proprietary license for small object models.
Jailer is a database subsetting and browsing tool. It is a tool for data exporting, schema browsing, and rendering. It exports consistent, referentially intact row-sets from relational databases. It removes obsolete data without violating integrity. It is DBMS agnostic (by using JDBC), platform independent, and generates DbUnit datasets, hierarchically structured XML, and topologically sorted SQL-DML.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug concerning multi-line VARCHARs in Oracle.
