WDB is a weather data storage system for storageof weather and water observations, forecasts,analysis fields, and models. The system should becompatible with the meteorological standards BUFRand GRIB (version 1 and 2). In addition to genericloading programs, WDB also features a flexibleretrieval interface for retrieving weather data intime series or entire fields. WDB is built usingPostgreSQL extended with PostGIS.License:GNU General Public License v2Changes:This release adds the FELT loading utility to WDB.FELT is an internal file format (similar to GRIB)used at Met.no. The feltLoad utility allows theloading of FELT files directly into the database.The release also contains a number of bugfixes tomost components of the WDB package.

cdrtools (formerly cdrecord) creates home-burned CDs/DVDs with a CDR/CDRW/DVD recorder. It works as a burn engine for several applications. It supports CD/DVD recorders from many different vendors; all SCSI-3/mmc- andATAPI/mmc-compliant drives should also work. Supported features include IDE/ATAPI, parallel port, and SCSI drives, audio CDs, data CDs, and mixed CDs, full multi-session support, CDRWs (rewritable), DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW,TAO, DAO, RAW, and human-readable error messages. cdrtools includes remote SCSI support and can access local or remote CD/DVD writers.License:Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL)Changes:A bug in the (unused by cdrecord) L1 Reed Solomoncoder from libedc was fixed. A first test versionfor an interactive cdda2wav mode was added. Thismode is needed to avoid license problems inlibcdio with GNOME GStreamer by using cdda2wavbased code instead of libcdio.

Anew output format is available: simplexml. The--auto-link-exclude option was added. Fixes weremade to Delphi 2006 syntax parsing. Various GUIimprovements were done, like the "DisplayComments" tab to display a comments tree and the"Store relative paths" option. The code was portedto Mac OS X (Darwin)/i386 and Linux/x86_64.
ext3undel is a collection of scripts to help yourecover deleted files from ext2/ext3 file systems.ext3undel tries to automate most of the difficultmanual work of recovery so that it may be possibleto recover a single specified file or all data ona given disk.License:Free To Use But RestrictedChanges:Wildcard support has been re-worked and now shoulddo as expected (shell wildcards "?" for a singlecharacter, "*" for none or any character(s)). Theconfiguration file now knows about two moredirectives: "SILENT" and "DEBUG" control theamount of output generated. For explanation of allconfiguration directives, a man page for theconfiguration file has been added ("manext3undel.conf").
Fetchmail is a free, full-featured, robust,well-documented remote-mail retrieval andforwarding utility intended to be used overon-demand TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPPconnections). It supports every remote-mailprotocol now in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3,RPOP, APOP, KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, and ESMTPETRN, ODMR, SMTP, LMTP, and local delivery agents.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:This release fixes denial of servicevulnerabilities CVE-2007-4565 and CVE-2008-2711.It also fixes a data loss bug with IMAP in --keep--flush configurations. Fetchmail no longercomplains about invalid sslproto when POP3 CAPAprobing fails. .fetchids and .fetchmailrc can nowbe symlinks. fetchmailconf now quotes folder nameswhen writing the configuration. An --sslcommonnameoption was added to help working with misnamedcertificates. Several build systems improvementswere made.
check_logfiles is a plugin for Nagios which checks logfiles for defined patterns. It is capable of detecting logfile rotation. If you tell it how the rotated archives look, it will also examine these files. Unlike check_logfiles, traditional logfile plugins were not aware of the gap which could occur, so under some circumstances they ignored what had happened between their checks. A configuration file is used to specify where to search, what to search, and what to do if a matching line is found.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:There was a bug when the sticky option was usedfrom the commandline.
check_oracle_health is a plugin for the Nagiosmonitoring software that allows you to monitorvarious metrics of an Oracle database. It includesconnection time, SGA data buffer hit ratio, SGAlibrary cache hit ratio, SGA dictionary cache hitratio, SGA shared pool free, PGA in memory sortratio, tablespace usage, tablespace fragmentation,tablespace I/O balance, invalid objects, and manymore.License:GNU General Public License v2Changes:The tablespace-usage mode now takes into accountwhen tablespaces use autoextents. Thedata-buffer/library/dictionary-cache-hitratio arenow more accurate. Sqlplus can now be used insteadof DBD::Oracle.

The source code is intented to be simple, human-readable and free of memory leaks. It can be used as a shared library by larger projects that want to incorporate multimedia features. License:GNU General Public License v2Changes:This is mainly a maintenance release, updates tothe code were made to work with the latest ffmpegversions, though some small changes have beenintroduced into the library. Among these changeare utilization of the ffmpeg wav encoder whendecoding audio, a speed improvement for sourcecode compilation, enforcement of the licenseagreement during Windows installation, andaddition of displaying a file's durationinformation via the command line tool.
RDVz is a Web application for setting conveniences for meeting appointments between several persons.
