RingyDingyDingy is a lightweight app which lets you send a text message to your phone (or your Google Voice number, for phones and tablets) to make it ring (disabling silent/vibrate if on, and restoring them when ringing has stopped) and lock (on Froyo or newer).
Release Notes: This release adds an activation logger that tells you what commands were activated, when they were activated, who activated them, and what app was used (can be disabled). It has a new icon and the ability to choose what ringtone RDD will use. Multiple pager messages will now accumulate in one dialog.
rpmorphan finds "orphaned" RPM packages on your system (packages which have no other packages depending on their installation). Console and graphical interfaces are provided. It is clone of the deborphan Debian program, but for RPM packages. It provides also some others RPM tools: rpmusage, rpmdep, and rpmduplicates.
Release Notes: A new option (suggests) is added: if set, the suggested packages are used as required packages. A global configuration file is added (/etc/rpmorphanrc). A bug was fixed regarding file names with spaces.
Clement is an email server application. Its main function is to block unwanted mail (spam) as soon as possible in the email exchange process. It accepts or rejects email while the SMTP session, initiated by the email sender, is still pending, accepting legitimate email messages without the need to return an error status to non-existent or "borrowed" return address later. Clement can operate in two modes. Either the mail is taken into account locally and stored in the recipient's own area, or it can transmit the mail to an another SMTP server (Sendmail, Postfix, Exim, Exchange, etc.). Each email domain name Clement knows about can be treated in one of these two modes depending on the group to which the domain name has been set. Each message is verified by a virus scanner (ClamAV) while the SMTP connection is still open, but the refusal of mail and the reason for refusal is notified to the actual sender. Mail management is done via a Web interface and can be delegated to three administrative levels (Root-Admin, Group-Admin, Domain-Admin). Standard users can access their own logs (sent email status, email rejected, quarantined email, etc.). With this interface, the user can handle the rejection and acceptance of mail. Users who are level "Admin" can access the session logs (via the Web interface). Clement uses a SQL database (PostgreSQL, MySQL) to store and manage logs, user profiles, and dynamic management of directives concerning the sender-receiver relationship.
Release Notes: Incorrectly reported status when remote rejected email in transit at signon level has been fixed. Shell script delay report sent to user has been fixed. Echo suppression in the IP banned exchange list has been added. This release uses a very flexible garbage collector to recover memory leaked within Yacc parsing in the phase error recovery processes.
The netCDF Operators (NCO) facilitates manipulation and analysis of self-describing data stored in the (freely available) netCDF format.
Release Notes: Additional features include: Duration/Sub-cycles in Multi-Record Operators, an option to bypass intermediate temporary files, extracting the last N elements of a hyperslab, RAM-disk files, and re-basing bounds of record coordinates. Reduced differences in behaviour between Windows and Unix builds. When invoked for min/max operations, ncra/ncea now computes means of coordinate variables, as documented, and ncra/ncrcat averaging/concatenation of record coordinate-bounded variable across two non-monotonic files now selects correct records in all cases.
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: A new experimental MIPS port (32-bit, o32 ABI, static-linked-only at this point). Various dynamic linker/loader bugs have been fixed. Network service name lookup support from /etc/services. Wrappers for more non-POSIX Linux syscalls. crypt() has been overhauled with drastic reductions in memory usage and run time. Fixes for several important thread bugs including internal lock corruption, spurious sem_trywait failure, and race conditions on detached-thread exit, as well as various minor bugfixes.

Release Notes: This development snapshot brings in Web services and a host of new features. More reports have been ported, and the system settings screen is now categorized.
Jkaptive is a simple captive portal without RADIUS (and thus without total security, but at the same time without too much hassle). The reason behind this is because a lot of site administrators don't need tight security; their site is just a café that offers free Internet access on an unsecured WLAN access point connected to the Internet, and they need a ticketing system to make it cumbersome for average people to use this offering without actually buying a single coffee. Jkaptive itself just presents the login page and checks the token. The blocking of unticketed traffic is done through Linux' netfilter. As no proxy server is involved, jkaptive has no performance penalty, nor does it create problems with non-HTTP traffic. Once the token is accepted, jkaptive is out of the way of any network packets completely. For presenting the login page, jkaptive has a built-in Web server, so no additional Web server application is needed.
Release Notes: Initial release.

The Mnemosyne software resembles a traditional flash card program to help you memorize question/answer pairs, but with an important twist: it uses a sophisticated algorithm to schedule the best time for a card to come up for review. Difficult cards that you tend to forget quickly will be scheduled more often, while Mnemosyne won't waste your time on things you remember well.
Release Notes: This release fixes an occasional hang during review. In cloze card types, you can now provide hints, e.g. [cloze:hint] will show [hint] in the question as opposed to [...]. It adds a Sentence card type plugin. It fixes a bug where the wrong clone would be renamed. It fixes an issue in Activate cards where a set without a name and a saved set would interfere. The dialog where you name saved sets is now a combo box. Before merging cards, more information is presented on the data that is already in the database. The Web server now supports the -d option to specify the data directory. Many more fixes.
