lesspipe.sh 1.80
lesspipe.sh is an input filter for the pager less as described in less's man page. The script runs under a ksh-compatible shell (e.g. bash, zsh) and allows you to use less to view files with binary content, compressed files, archives, and files contained in archives. Viewing files by accessing a device file is implemented to some extent. It supports many formats (both as plain and compressed files using gzip, bzip2, and other pack programs). Syntax highlighting of source code is possible through an included script, "code2color", or an external program (pygmentize).
Release Notes: New ENV variables LESSQUIET (to suppress informal messages) and LESSCOLORIZER (to specify an alternate syntax highlighting program) have been introduced. The variable DESTDIR has been added to the Makefile (for make install). The lesspipe.sh in the tar file was generated with syntax highlighting code. The output of tar tf can be colorized using the included tarcolor script. The contents of 7za archives can now be viewed using 7zr if existing. The recognition of formats has been enhanced, the test suite has been improved, and some minor bugs have been corrected.

It also reads each sentence using the proper language and voice in mixed texts, without having to select it manually. You must have installed a voice synthesizer (such as PICO or SVOX) and voices for the languages to be used. It currently supports German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese.
Release Notes: Interface improvements for Android 4.1 and 4.2. Minor changes.
13 Jan 19:30
Spack 3.9
Spack is a standalone package manager with its own CPIO-based package format but aiming to keep total compatibility with Slackware Linux. Written in POSIX shell as much as it makes sense, it attempts to provide a fairly complete toolkit to build, install, remove, list, retrieve, and arrange your packages. It can be used as an alternative to Slackware's pkgtools, just to independently and properly manage your local software on any distribution, or as the main package manager of the distribution you build yourself.
Release Notes: Spacklist can list and display the installed post-install scripts. Several bugs were also fixed in spackadd and spackcook, which no longer set any defaults for the CC flags in order to prevent breakages on non-x86 platforms.
13 Jan 19:26
VIM Pal 1.2.0
VIM Pal is a separate application providing a file tree for VIM. It does not intend to provide the features of a full IDE. It is just a simple file tree which can be used to select files for editing in VIM, and a bookmark list for jumping to frequently-used directories.

13 Jan 19:22
j661 0.55 Beta 1
The j661 project provides a generic CDS (or ARINC 661 Server) in order to facilitate the understanding of the ARINC 661 standard, prototype ARINC 661 concepts and architectures, and facilitate the reuse of ARINC 661 specifications and artefacts between projects. The CDS architecture is designed to allow defining the Server behavior to be easily modified or extended. This is achieved by a modular plug-in architecture, allowing customization at runtime without changing anything in the Server core itself.
Release Notes: Many bugfixes for the OpenGL Embedded Server, which is now working as the standalone version, even with a complex UI (including using popups). Adds the capacity to record and read scenarios in hexadecimal. Fixes bugs with DataScaling widgets. Fixes many bugs that could appear in high workload use cases, including multi-threading induced bugs. Many checks for the Look Model parsing.

13 Jan 19:07
Galera Load Balancer 0.9.1
GLB is a user-space TCP load balancer similar to Pen. It lacks most advanced Pen features, as the aim was to make a user-space TCP proxy that is as fast as possible. It can utilize multiple CPU cores. A list of destinations can be adjusted in runtime. Destination "draining" is supported. It supports "least connected", "round-robin", "random", and "source tracking" balancing policies.
Release Notes: This is a rather major feature release. It adds support for asynchronous connects (default; can be disabled), a more intuitive weighting algorithm (where weight 100 means that destination will receive at least 99 connections before another destination with weight 1 is considered), and a better connect() compliance in libglb (more applications should work now).
13 Jan 19:06
MDIUtilities 0.7.1
MDIUtilities provides a set of utility classes that can be used for desktop application development. It contains a network preferences implementation, XML utility classes, geometry utility classes, additional Swing classes, and other miscellaneous classes.

Monitorix 3.0.0beta1
Monitorix is a lightweight system monitoring tool designed to monitor as many services and system resources as possible. It has been created to be used under production Linux/UNIX servers, but due to its simplicity and small size may also be used on embedded devices as well.
Release Notes: This release represents a massive rewrite, and has a modular code structure reducing, in some cases, its memory footprint and offering the ability to package every graph independently, making it more suitable for embedded systems.This version was mainly created to reach the same functionality and stability level as 2.6.0, and therefore doesn't include many new features, although a large number of bugs were fixed.
13 Jan 18:25
spdylay 0.3.7
spdylay is an experimental implementation of Google's SPDY protocol in C. It provides a SPDY framing layer implementation. It does not perform any I/O operations. When the library needs them, it calls the callback functions provided by the application. It also does not include any event polling mechanism, so the application can freely choose the way of handling events. This library code does not depend on any particular SSL library (except for example programs that depend on OpenSSL 1.0.1 or later).
Release Notes: This release updates the INTERNAL_ERROR value of the GOAWAY frame according to the SPDY/3 spec change. spdycat and spdyd can now operate on non-SSL/TLS SPDY connections. shrpx now has --client and --client-proxy options to make it accept plain HTTP connections and forward them to the backend in SPDY. There are many enhancements to these programs in this release.
13 Jan 18:24
Salut à Toi 0.3.0
Salut à Toi (or SàT: "Hi to You") is an XMPP/Jabber client with multi-frontends. You can use it on a desktop (Wix), with a console interface (Primitivus), as a command-line tool (jp), or on the Web (Libervia). A plugin architecture is used to make it modular. With SàT, you can perform all the expected XMPP functions (instant messaging, multi-user chat, file transfert, etc.), but you can also use your email client (MUA) to read and send your XMPP messages, play games, do microblogging, pipe Unix command results, make scripts, etc.
Release Notes: The full project has moved to the AGPL v3+. There is a new logo, new skin for Libervia, new plugins (XEP-0200, XEP-0047, and XEP-0095), pipe transfer, database integration, radio collective, and improved group microblogging. Primitivus is now modal (à la vi). Media has been separated from the main repository. There are many other improvements/bugfixes.
