MJPG-streamer takes images from an input pluginand streams them to several output plugins. It isthe successor of the UVC-streamer, so it supportsLinux-UVC V4L2 compatible webcams as inputplugins. The most popular output plugin is theHTTP daemon. It serves the JPEG input as an MJPEGstream or simple snapshots to a HTTP client likeFirefox, VideoLanClient (VLC), or TCPMP. By usingthe camozola Java applet, browsers like Opera andInternet Explorer can also view the stream.License:GNU General Public License v2Changes:This release was updated to support recentLinux-UVC drivers' dynctrl commands. Thepan/tilt/focus controls of webcams like LogitechSphere AF are initialized properly now.
irrKlang is a high level 2D and 3D cross platformsound engine and audio library that plays WAV,MP3, OGG, MOD, XM, IT, S3M, and other fileformats. It can be used by C++ and all .NETlanguages (C#, Visual Basic.NET, etc.). It has allof the features common to low-level audiolibraries as well as lots of useful features likea sophisticated streaming engine, extendable audioreading, single and multi-threading modes, 3Daudio emulation for low-end hardware, a pluginsystem, multiple rolloff models, sound effects,and more. All of these can be accessed via anextremely simple API using an object orienteddesign.License:Other/Proprietary LicenseChanges:This release adds audio recording capabilities,but these are currently for Windows only. Theoption to use pure PCM data as a sound source wasadded. Some minor bugs were fixed.
WANPIPE S-series is a family of intelligent multi-protocol WAN and ADSL adapters that support data transfer rates up to 8Mbps. All WAN protocols supported by WANPIPE are implemented in firmware and run on the card. An advantage of an intelligent adapter is that it offloads the system CPU and improves stability. By adding a Sangoma WAN/ADSL component to the Linux kernel, one can create a powerful multi-T1/ADSL router/firewall with proven reliability of Linux. Sangoma S-series cards support an optional on board T1/E1 CSU/DSU that eliminates all external components of a traditional routing solution: i.e. T1/E1 line can be directly connected to the card. WANPIPE supports the following protocols, ATM, ADSL, Frame Relay, PPP, MULTILINK PPP, CHDLC, X25(API), BitStreaming (API), BiSync(API), and SDLC(API). Furthermore, WANPIPE supports custom API development such as: Credit card verification, Voice-over IP, Satellite Comm. All device drivers are part of the standard Linux Kernel distribution. License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:Graceful recovery on short circuit was implemented for the AFT Maxim front end. A check was added for TDM IRQ timeout for the AFT driver. MTU and voice-only setup were fixed for SMG. Zaptel 1.4 HW HDLC support was added. The HWEC Noise flag was added in the wanpipe configuration file. E1 Unframed on Maxim Cards was updated. Bugfixes were made for AFT PMC and MAXIM framers. HWEC_PERSIST_DISABLE was fixed. SMG/SS7 was updated. Loopback commands for AFT Maxim cards were updated. The software was updated for AstLinux. add_timer warnings were fixed for all AFT cards. The legacy protocols were updated for the new front end architecture. The setup script was updated.
MeTA1 is a modularized message transfer agent (MTA)consisting of five (or more) persistent processes,four of which are multi-threaded. A queue managercontrols SMTP servers and SMTP clients to receiveand send email messages, an address resolverprovides lookups in various maps (including DNS)for mail routing, and a main control programstarts the other processes and watches over theirexecution. The queue manager organizes the flow ofmessages through the system and provides measuresto avoid overloading the local or remote systemsby implementing a central control instance. It issimple to configure using a C-like syntax and issecure and efficient.License:Other/Proprietary License with SourceChanges:This release fixes a few bugs, most of which arerelated to createmap and the cdb map type. Two newfeatures were added. The interesting one is thatthe SMTP server now treats "Relaying denied"errors as "bad" commands. This means that thoserejections count for max_bad_commands_per_sessionand max_bad_commands_per_transaction. This isuseful when a client is broken enough to tryseveral relaying attempts.

Dirac is a general-purpose video codec aimed atresolutions from QCIF (176x144) to HDTV(1920x1080), progressive or interlaced. It useswavelets, motion compensation, and arithmeticcoding, and aims to be competitive with otherstate-of-the-art codecs. The Open Sourceimplementation provides a C++ library with anencoder and decoder. License:Mozilla Public License (MPL)Changes:This is a major release that complies with theDirac Bytestream Specification 2.0.0. Thespecification can be downloaded fromhttp://dirac.sourceforge.net/specification.html.Quantiser selection, motion compensation, andconstant bit-rate coding performance have beenimproved. Bugs in constant bit-rate coding mode,dc value prediction in motion decoding, andhandling concatenated Dirac bytestreams have beenfixed. The encoder and decoder APIs have changed.New patches have been released for MPlayer andFFMpeg. A new version of the DirectShow filter hasbeen released to comply with Dirac 0.9.0.
Gammu (formerly known as MyGnokii2) is a cellular manager for various mobile phones/modems. It supports a wide variety of Nokia, Symbian, and AT devices (Siemens, Alcatel, Falcom, WaveCom, IPAQ, Samsung, SE, and others) over cables, infrared, or BlueTooth. It contains libraries with functions for ringtones, phonebook, SMS, logos, WAP, date/time, alarm, calls, and more (used by external applications like Wammu).

fwsnort translates snort rules into an equivalentiptables ruleset. By making use of the iptablesstring match module, fwsnort can detectapplication layer signatures which exist in manysnort rules. fwsnort adds a --hex-string option toiptables, which allows snort rules that containhex characters to be input directly into iptablesrulesets without modification. In addition,fwsnort makes use of the IPTables::Parse Perlmodule in order to (optionally) restrict the snortrule translation to only those rules that specifytraffic that could potentially be allowed throughan existing iptables policy.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:This version was updated to exclude loopbackinterfaces from iptables allow rules parsing. Thisbehavior can be reversed with the existing--no-exclude-loopback command line argument.IPTables::Parse was updated to take into accountiptables policy output that contains "0" insteadof "all" to represent any protocol.IPTables::Parse was updated to set sport and dportto "0:0" if the protocol is "all". A bug was fixedto allow negated networks to be specified withiniptables allow rules or within the fwsnort.conffile. install.pl was updated to set the LC_ALLenvironment variable to "C".
