se is a screen-oriented version of the classic UNIX text editor ed. The editor implements many of the commands of ed, but instead of being line-oriented, se is screen-oriented. The command syntax is very familiar to users who already know ed. If you get stuck, there is a built-in help system that describes many of the available commands. Many configurable options can be loaded from a .serc file. se can be run interactively or in a script via the included scriptse utility. The editor is portable across many platforms, supporting major Linux and BSD distributions as well as other systems like GNU, Minix, Haiku, OpenSolaris, and Cygwin.
Release Notes: This release includes major portability enhancements and build system changes. The old makefile-based build system has been replaced with a slick new autotools configure script. This, combined with some code modernization, allows se to build and run on a variety of platforms.
jOpenTTDLib is a Java library that polls OpenTTD servers for statistics on games in progress. This includes data on the map and how all the companies are faring. On top of this functionality, the games can be continually polled and game events are generated and listeners notified.
Release Notes: The code has been almost entirely rewritten from scratch and is infinitely better tested (i.e. the project actually has tests). This release introduces a new API interface GameQuerier. JOTLQuerier has been renamed to UDPGameQuerier, and is currently the only implementation of GameQuerier. ServerHandler has been renamed to ServerMonitor.
Privacy Indicator is a notification area applet (application indicator) for the top panel of Ubuntu’s Unity desktop environment. The goal of Privacy Indicator is to give a quick overview on the most important privacy settings and make it easy to change them.
Release Notes: This version updates some translations.
Marathon is a GUI test tool that allows you to play and record scripts against a Java Swing UI. It's written in Java, and uses Python and Ruby as its scripting language (the emphasis being on an extremely simple, readable syntax that customers/testers/analysts feel comfortable with). Marathon includes a recorder, editor, player, and debugger to simplify working with test scripts.
Release Notes: This release adds get_frames and get_frame_objects methods to retrieve the existing internal frame objects from the current window. All commands entered in the script console are recorded in the spool.rb/spool.py file in the project folder. Mouseup/mousedown/hover methods have been added to Marathon runtime. An image_compare method has been to Marathon runtime; use this to compare two image files with a given percentage threshold. capture_component, similar to capture_screen to capture the screenshot of a component into a file, has been added. Report generation in the testlink XML format has been added.
newLISP is a Lisp-like, general-purpose scripting language. It has all the magic of traditional Lisp, but is easier to learn and use. newLISP is friendly, fast, and small. Most of the functions you will ever need are already built in.
Release Notes: This version has miscellaneous enhancements and bugfixes.
Task Coach is a simple todo manager to manage personal tasks and todo lists. It grew out of a frustration that well-known task managers, such as those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not provide facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things to do consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with composite tasks.
Release Notes: This is a bugfix release.
Joget Workflow is Web-based workflow software made to develop workflow and Business Process Management applications. More than just a workflow or BPM platform, it offers full-fledged agile development capabilities (consisting of processes, forms, lists, CRUD, and UI), not just backend EAI/orchestration/integration or the task-based interface of traditional workflow/BPM products. It can, for example, build a CRM sales force automation app instead of just a sales quotation approval process. Video tutorials are provided.
Release Notes: The primary focus of this release is a cleaner, more streamlined user interface along with enhanced form and reporting features. This release also includes many performance and stability improvements.
TYPO3 CMS is a Web Content Management System which features automatic creation of navigational menus, headlines, and other dynamic graphical elements, automatic conversion and scaling of images, the ability to present different templates based on variables such as client browser or country code, support for multiple templates on a site, and a built-in password-protection option. Pages can be timed to be shown on a certain date, be hidden on a certain date or just temporarily hidden. TYPO3 supports search in SQL-databases and redesigning of a website at once is just a matter of creating a single new template.
Release Notes: This release adds a security bugfix for possible SQL injection in the extbase module.
Bibfilex is software to create and manage archives of bibliographical items (books, articles, etc.) according to Biblatex structure and rules. It is far less advanced than other bibliographic managers like JabRef, and allows only a few customizations. Its strength is speed and lightness, especially when used with many items. It uses SQLite as a database. It can store the items according to each of the entry types described in the Biblatex manual (book, article, etc.), import the content of a file in Biblatex format (like a JabRef database), export data to a Biblatex file (like a JabRef database), locate an item just typing its author name, title, etc. filter the items by selecting a keyword in a list, filter the items according to three different conditions (or to manually modify the SQL statement of the filter to make it more suitable or complex), associate various attachments (files of every kind) with each item, activate autocompletion of data in each field with “Ctrl + Space”, automatically create unique BibTex keys according to a pattern defined by the user, and specify the fields (columns) shown in the grid view of the data.
Release Notes: This release adds the ability to filter the items from the BibTex keys contained in a Latex document within a “\cite” command, minor improvements, and bugfixes.
ComponentJS is a stand-alone library for JavaScript, providing a run-time component system for hierarchically structuring the user interface (UI) dialogs of complex HTML5-based rich clients (aka single-page-apps) under maximum applied Separation of Concerns (SoC) architecture principle, through optional Model, View and Controller component roles, with sophisticated hierarchical Event, Service, Hook, Model, Socket and Property mechanisms, and fully independent and agnostic of the particular UI widget toolkit.
Release Notes: This release improves the Debugger plugin again: the components in the component tree view are now clickable. Once clicked, details about the component are displayed in the new infobox view which overlays the console view. The component tree view now provides zoom and scroll functionality to allow you to display large component trees in a reasonable way.
Piwigo is photo gallery system for the Web. The project started in 2002 and is built by an active community of users and developers. It comes with powerful features for publishing and managing your photos, scalability, and smart browsing capabilities such as albums, tags, or calendars. Extensions make Piwigo even more customizable.
Release Notes: An advanced setting for protection of original photos has been added, to make Piwigo an even safer place for your photos. Piwigo becomes more social with email and website fields for user comments. External authentication with the oAuth plugin lets your visitors connect with their Facebook, Google, OpenID, or Wordpress.com account (and many others). The new Web API explorer will help developers know how to communicate remotely with Piwigo. Piwigo 2.5 brings 30+ new features and is now available in 51 languages.
tmsu is an application that allows you to organise your files by associating them with tags. It provides a tool for managing these tags and a virtual filesystem to allow tag-based access to your files.
Release Notes: This version aims to improve the performance of the program by removing automatic tag inheritance, which has proven slow on larger databases and slow filesystems (e.g., network filesystems). Instead, there is now a choice of how to handle directory contents, to add the nested files to the database using the --recursive option on the "tag" and "untag" commands or dynamically discover directory contents using the --recursive option on the "files" command. Many other bugfixes and improvements have been added.
Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as quickly as gzip and compresses better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution and data archiving. If you ever need to recover data from a damaged lzip file, try the lziprecover program.
Release Notes: The compression ratio has been slightly increased. Compression time has been reduced by 5%. Decompression time has been reduced by 12%.
Spacewalk is a Linux and Solaris systems management solution. It allows you to inventory your systems (hardware and software information), install and update software on your systems, collect and distribute your custom software packages into manageable groups, provision (Kickstart) your systems, manage and deploy configuration files to your systems, monitor your systems, provision virtual guests, and start/stop/configure virtual guests.
Release Notes: This release adds Fedora 18 support, ABRT and SCAP improvements, WebUI Enhancements, new reports for spacewalk-reports, and new API calls.
nf3d is a 3D interface to visualize Netfilter-related events. It fetches information from an ulogd-filled database and displays connections and logged packets in a GANTT diagram fashion.
Release Notes: nf3d can now filter by network instead of by simple address. The documentation has been improved, and some minor bugs have been fixed.
Pcompress is a utility to do compression/decompression and deduplication in parallel by splitting input data into chunks. It has a modular structure and includes support for multiple algorithms like LZMA, Bzip2, PPMD, LZ4, etc., with KECCAK/BLAKE2/SHA-256/512 chunk checksums. SSE optimizations for the bundled LZMA are included. It also implements chunk-level Content-Aware Deduplication and Delta Compression features based on a Rabin Fingerprinting scheme. It has low metadata overhead and overlaps I/O and compression to achieve maximum parallelism. It has AES encryption capability and uses Scrypt from Tarsnap to generate per-session unique keys from passwords. It can work in pipe mode, reading from stdin and writing to stdout. It also provides some adaptive compression modes in which a suitable algorithm is chosen per chunk based on heuristics.
Release Notes: This update release adds several performance and security enhancements. AES code now includes AES-NI and VPAES optimizations. The fast XSalsa20 encryption algorithm has been added. Encryption key length can now be set at runtime (128/256 bits). Nonce, salt, etc. are now HMACed, and nonce generation randomized. Merkle Tree hashing via OpenMP is now used for all hashes when compressing an entire file in a single chunk (solid archive mode). Deduplication performance is improved by 95%. There is improved XML detection in adaptive modes. The file format has been updated, but backward compatibility retained.
Seafile is a file synchronization and collaboration platform. It comes with Dropbox-like file syncing, but is designed to be better suited to teamwork. You can build a file syncing and collaboration service for your team on your servers. It can also be used to build your own Dropbox for personal use.
Release Notes: This release adds two major improvements, a CLI client and LDAP authentication support. Online file viewing for images, video, and audio is improved. Several syncing bugs are fixed.
