It compiles andruns on Unix platforms, Linux, Microsoft Windows,and Windows CE.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:This release comes with a C++ API, two new C++ samples, a new function to enable AES encryption for the whole database file, and a new function to enable zlib compression. A few minor bugs were fixed. Pre-built libraries for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) are available for download.

  wmii is the next generation of wmi. It is a highlycustomizable keyboard-and-mouse-driven X11 windowmanager that supports conventional, tabbed, andtiled window management with low memory usage andvi-like user interaction. Due to a completerewrite, it is highly modularized and uses a newconfiguration and inter-process communicationinterface, which is oriented on the 9p protocol ofthe Plan9 operating system.License:MIT/X Consortium LicenseChanges:This release allows you to move and resize windows with the mouse, make clients visible in multiple tags, and move floating windows partially off screen. Application-independent full-screen functionality has been added. Support has been added for the aspect ratio window hint. Support has been added for urgent window hints. Drag and drop in GTK apps and xprop support. X11 window IDs are now used to identify clients instead of an internal wmii ID.

  Mathomatic is a portable, general purpose, consolemode CAS (Computer Algebra System) and calculatorprogram that can manipulate algebraic equationsand expressions, perform standard, complex number,and polynomial arithmetic, etc. It does somecalculus and is very easy to use.License:GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)Changes:The documentation and optimize command were fixed.

  JFunctionViewer is a simple and fast functionplotter. It can be run asan applet in any Java 5.0-capable browser. It canalso be downloaded andused offline.

  Rally is a fast GuiLoader-based front end for RPM.It provides RPM package management functionalityvia an intuitive tree-less graphical interface.Users are able to browse available repositories,search for packages, and perform updates,installations, and removals. Rally employsParallel Installer, which downloads and updatespackages simultaneously, potentially reaching avast performance boost. Rally is a part of theCrow Designer project, and was started as a sampleGuiLoader-based application.License:BSD License (revised)Changes:This release internationalizes the frontend, addsa PO file for theRussian language, makes Rally use only the publicRPM API, fixes rpmdbcache saves the second time after Rally duringScan, and ignoresrequests to install obsolete packages.

  GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copiesdata from one file or block device (hard disc,cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue datain case of read errors. GNU ddrescue does nottruncate the output file if not asked to. So,every time you run it on the same output file, ittries to fill in the gaps. The basic operation ofGNU ddrescue is fully automatic. That is, youdon't have to wait for an error, stop the program,read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If youuse the logfile feature of GNU ddrescue, the datais rescued very efficiently (only the needed blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume it later at the same point.License:GNU General Public License v3Changes:This release skips faster over damaged areas. Anew pass has beenadded that trims error areas backward beforesplitting. Support forsparse output files has been added. Blocks are nowsplit at sectorboundaries. The new option "--fill" has beenadded. This release canresume an interrupted retry pass instead ofreinitiating it. It achievesperfect resumability if interrupted duringtrimming or splitting andhandles SIGHUP and SIGTERM. The "--quiet" optionquiets error messages.Consistency checks have been added to detect bugs.

  VariCAD is a 3D/2D CAD system for mechanicalengineering. In addition to standard tools for 3Dmodeling and 2D drafting, the CAD system providestools for sheet metal unbending and crash tests,libraries of standard mechanical parts (ANSI, DIN)and symbols, mechanical part calculations, andtools for working with bills of materials (BOMs)and title blocks. VariCAD supports STEP, STL,IGES, DWG, and DXF file formats.License:Other/Proprietary License with Free TrialChanges:The updated packages of VariCAD 2007 3.03 allowrunning the software onother distributions of Linux (Ubuntu 7.10, etc.).

  The Open Computer Forensics Architecture (OCFA) isa modular computer forensics framework to automatethe digital forensic process, to speed up theinvestigation and give tactical investigatorsdirect access to the seized data through an easyto use search and browse interface. Thearchitecture forms an environment where existingforensic tools and libraries can be easily pluggedinto the architecture and can thus be made part ofthe recursive extraction of data and metadata fromdigital evidence. It aims to be highly modular,robust, fault tolerant, recursive, and scalable inorder to be usable in large investigations thatspawn numerous terabytes of evidence data andcover hundreds of evidence items.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:This release adds a workaround to make sure theindexer does not getand/or process large files (Clucene expands itsmemory usage to aboutfour times the size of the largest file it isgiven to index), makesthe configure script more strict and more complete(especially withrespect to 32/64 bit Linux), adds someSLES9-specific patches, and addsworkarounds for bugs in 7zip and objdump.

  Claroline (ClassRoom online) is a collaborative learning environment that allows teachers or educational institutions to create and administer courses through the Web. The system provides group management, forums, document repositories, a calendar, chat, assignment areas, links, and user profile administration in a single, highly integrated package. It has been translated into 28 languages.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:This release adds complete Spanish and Galiciantranslations and theability to download all works at once.

  Simple Invoices is a clean, simple, and basicWeb-based invoicing system. It is meant forpersonal invoices, home office invoicing, smallorganization invoicing, and basic POS (point ofsale) systems for light usage. Its goals are to beeasy to use, simple and clean, and focused on itstask. It is not meant for heavy-use POSapplications, nor is it meant to be enterpriseready.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:The old login system relied on md5.js to encryptthe password so itcouldn't be sniffed over non-SSL traffic, but whenJavascript wasdisabled in the browser, the login system could bebypassed. This hasbeen fixed in this release.

  Pantheios is a C/C++ logging API library. It offers an optimal combination of complete type-safety, very high efficiency, genericity, and extensibility. It is simple to use and extend, highly portable (platform and compiler independent), and it upholds the C tradition of only paying for what you use. Pantheios supports logging of message statements of arbitrary complexity, consisting of heterogenous types. Pantheios supports filtering of log messages based on severity level.License:BSD License (revised)Changes:This release adds refactoring of include files,removal ofimplementation functions from the pantheiosnamespace, anddocumentation. It removes the Windows dependencythat broke the build inbeta 51.

  Votorola is software for open elections. Itenables voters to advance their own candidates forpublic office, and their own legislative bills forstatutory law. Its voter rolls are backed by atrust network that is rooted in communityneighborhoods. It supports elections at any levelof government, from local to world.License:MIT/X Consortium LicenseChanges:Manual pages were written for the command-lineadministrative interface. Help options were addedto administrator and voter commands. A "voter"command shell was coded to issue commands onbehalf of voters.
