WebElements is a collection of Python objects that enable developers to generate and interact with Web apps on the server side. It encourages object oriented Web site development, and code reuse by separating each DOM element into its own object, and then allowing inheritance and child elements to come together to form new elements not defined in the standard DOM.
Release Notes: This release makes it easier to detect errors at any point in an element tree by running .errors() and adds support for easily executing clientSide actions when a key is pressed.
Dynamic Form is a Python request abstraction library that lets you write one request handler that will run on multiple Python Web frameworks (such as Django and Google's AppEngine). This allows you to create pages and apps once and use them on multiple projects without concern about which framework is being used. Additionally, it makes AJAX easy. Simply adding nested request classes allows you to define AJAX handlers that can easily be refreshed both sever-side and client-side.
Release Notes: This release makes it easy to add multiple instances of a controller to a page and adds a .rootHandler attribute to all child handlers for quicker access.

It tries to enable easy communication from server to server, browser to server, and application to server.
Release Notes: This release adds namespace support to all libraries, updates psx to version 0.5 and removes htmlpurifier (now using the HTML filter library of psx), adds an ExtJs-based default backend, loads service files directly from the service folder, adds a configuration option to set a prefix for table names, updates the content media upload service and fixes the oembed server, and fixes many other bugs. config option to set a prefix for the table names.
crackxls2003 breaks the encryption on Microsoft Excel XP/2002/2003 files which have been encrypted using the RC4 method. These files are encrypted using a 40-bit-long key. It will not work on files encrypted using later versions or versions 8.0 or earlier.
Release Notes: This version optionally allows decryption of a document once the decryption key is found, if it is compiled with the libgsf library.
Audible TTS reads text aloud from other apps, the clipboard, or from text files. It can get text from applications such as Feedme or K9-Mail, the clipboard (using Copy and Paste), or from files on the MicroSD card. 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.

libnode is a C++ implementation of Node.js. Just like Node.js, libnode provides non-blocking I/O, which enables you to develop scalable Web applications in C++. The memory management of libnode is automatic, based on either shared_ptr or bdw-gc. libnode is good to use on embedded devices because its system resource consumption is lower than Node.js.
Release Notes: libnode now supports DNS and uses UTF-16 by default. libj, the underlying runtime library, has been updated to version 0.5.0.
