GNU xorriso creates, loads, manipulates, and writes ISO 9660 filesystem images with Rock Ridge extensions. Files can be copied in and out. The session results get written to optical media or to filesystem objects. Rather than needing external tools for ISO 9660 production and CD/DVD/BD burning, it is a static compilation of libburnia-project.org. Thus GNU xorriso depends only on fundamental operating system facilities.
Release Notes: Several bugs were fixed. The recently introduced boot preparation capabilities were tested. New boot preparation options for GRUB2 were added.
SQLObject is an object-relational mapper, i.e., a library that will wrap your database tables in Python classes and your rows in Python instances. It currently supports MySQL through the 'MySQLdb' package, PostgreSQL through the 'psycopg' package, SQLite, Firebird, MaxDB (SAP DB), MS SQL, and Sybase. It should support Python versions back to 2.4.
Release Notes: PostgresConnection was optimized. SQLObject now uses INSERT...RETURNING id to get the autoincremented ID in one query instead of two (INSERT + SELECT id) (PostgreSQL 8.2 required). SQLObject now generates NCHAR/NVARCHAR and N''-quoted strings for MS SQL.

Release Notes: W3Perl uses now an Ajax menu rather than a static menu. Referer spam can be filtered with keywords. Reports can be encrypted if needed.
SLEEF (SIMD Library for Evaluating Elementary Functions) is a library that facilitates programming with SIMD instructions. It implements the trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithmic functions in double precision without table look-ups, scattering from, or gathering into SIMD registers, or conditional branches. This library also includes some functions for evaluation in single precision.
Release Notes: This release adds support for the ARM NEON instruction set. Higher accuracy single precision functions were added: sinf_u1, cosf_u1, sincosf_u1, tanf_u1, asinf_u1, acosf_u1, atanf_u1, atan2f_u1, logf_u1, and cbrtf_u1.
s6-portable-utils is a set of tiny general Unix utilities, often performing well-known tasks such as cut and grep, but optimized for simplicity and small size. They were designed for embedded systems and other constrained environments, but work everywhere. Other sets of small utilities are usually system-specific; for instance, the (otherwise excellent) BusyBox project only works on Linux.
Release Notes: This release fixes a build-time bug that happened with some configuration cases.
libburnia is a project comprised of libraries and binaries for reading, mastering, and writing optical discs. It provides libburn, a CD/DVD/BD burn library, libisofs, a manipulation library for ISO 9660 filesystems, and libisoburn, a ISO 9660 multi-session library. On top of them there is cdrskin, a cdrecord emulator, and xorriso, a all-in-one application for ISO 9660 multi-session operations which additionaly provides a limited emulation of mkisofs.
Release Notes: Several bugs were fixed in the libraries and in xorriso. The recently introduced boot preparation capabilities have been tested. New boot preparation options for GRUB2 were added.

You can simply visit the page you need to edit as if you were a site visitor, and make the change.
Release Notes: This major yet incremental update fully removes all 'old school/1.x' code. Twitter Bootstrap and jQuery are now used as the primary framework libraries, though YUI3/YUI2 are still supported. HTML5 form fallback features were provided for all browsers. New Forms features for importing CSV to create a new form or adding to an existing form were added, with the option to change the form control type. More Blog views were added along with new Blog and e-Commerce site sample installation content. LDAP server user authentication was implemented. The e-Commerce function was greatly enhanced.
