pacparser is a library to parse proxy auto-config (PAC) files. Proxy auto-config files are a vastly used proxy configuration method these days. Web browsers can use a PAC file to determine which proxy server to use or whether to go direct for a given URL. The idea behind pacparser is to make it easy to add PAC file parsing capability to any program (C and Python are supported right now). It comes as a shared C library and a Python module that can be used to make any C or Python program PAC scripts intelligent. Some very useful targets could be popular Web software like wget, curl, and python-urllib.License:GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)Changes:This release has its own Python module. Python module code has been added, as well as instructions to install it.

Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-basedmusic composition system. Users declarativelystate a music theory and the computer generatesmusic which complies with this theory. A theory isformulated as a constraint satisfaction problem(CSP) by a set of rules (constraints) applied toa music representation in which some aspects areexpressed by variables (unknowns). Musicconstraint programming is style-independent and iswell-suited for highly complex theories (e.g. afully-fledged theory of harmony). Results can beoutput into various formats including MIDI,Lilypond, and Csound.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:This release can import MIDI files. Revision of the tutorial has begun. The harmony model was extended, for example, by elaborative representations of pitch intervals and chord inversions. Further additions and bugfixes have been made.
Crionics jPDF Suite is a 6-tool softwarecollection composed of tools to dynamicallyprocess PDF documents: render, print, cipher,sign, merge, split, create, alter, protect, andmanage form fields.License:Other/Proprietary LicenseChanges:JPEG 2000 is now supported when JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) is in the classpath.

Cibyl is a programming environment that allowscompiled C/C++ programs to execute on J2ME-capablephones. Cibyl uses GCC to compile programsto MIPS binaries, and these are then translatedinto Java bytecode. The use of binary translation and the simplicity of translating MIPS instructions means that Cibyl programs can be quite well-performing. With Cibyl, programs written in C/C++ can be ported to J2ME without switching languages.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:A few regressions from version 14 have been fixed.A potential stack/heap overlap was fixed. Tracingsupport has been improved and memory writes cannow be instrumented. Some new libc functionalityhas also been added.
