Changes:
The ability to have the dashboard page images (as well as the logo image) in the themes (as opposed to them being in the platform software) has been added. This update adds platform version 0.93, iHama theme 1.2, and agedashi theme 1.4. This should give more flexibility to theme authors.
nedmalloc is an alternative malloc implementation
for multiple threads without lock contention based
on dlmalloc 2.8.3. It is more or less a newer
implementation of ptmalloc2, the standard
allocator in Linux (which is based on dlmalloc
2.7.0) but also contains a per-thread cache for
maximum CPU scalability.
License: OSI Approved
Changes:
This release adds an error check for TLSSET() and TLSFREE() macros. It fixes a segfault when freeing memory allocated using nedindependent_comalloc().

pypty is a tty logger aimed at heavy script(1) users who like to (or would like to start to) log everything they do on important systems. It creates one (or two, if you ask for timing data) file(s) per day. The distribution also includes "script-replay", which is somewhat like the traditional scriptreplay - that is, it's for replaying tty logs - but it does not require timing data and lets you step forward and back in the log.
License: GNU General Public License v3
Changes:
This release no longer tracebacks on a resize event during select(), using the new maybe_restarted_syscall higher order function. script-replay has the beginnings of resizing support (not end-user visible yet).
GdMap is a tool which allows you to visualize disk
space. To display directory structures, cushion
treemaps are used to visualize a complete folder
or even the whole hard drive with one picture.

License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The default output is now .srt instead of .bin. -trim has been added to remove blank spaces (please read the documentation before using it). There are other minor changes.
The Asterisk on IpCop project maintains an Asterisk package as an IPCop add-on and an IPCop ISO already containing Asterisk.
The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating software packages. Each software package consists of an archive of files along with information about the package like its version, a description, etc. It also includes the RPM C library and header files. These development files will simplify the process of writing programs which manipulate RPM packages and databases and are intended to make it easier to create graphical package managers or any other tools that need an intimate knowledge of RPM packages in order to function.
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Changes:
This release includes rpmrepo (to generate repository metadata), rpmmtree (an enhanced version of the BSD mtree(8) program), and rpmdigest (an analogue of the GNU coreutils digest programs with support for URIs and additional digest/hash/CRC algorithms). Internally, it has been upgraded to use db 4.7.25 and Lua 5.1.3. LZMA uses liblzma rather than external helpers. noarch sub-packages and identically named sub-packages with different versions are supported. Additional query format extensions to transform package metadata were added. Indentation issues dumping package metadata using YAML are fixed.

bpython is an enhanced Python interactive
interpreter that uses curses and provides the
following main features: in-line syntax
highlighting; readline-like autocompletion with
suggestions displayed as you type; expected
argument specification for functions; a handy
pastebin function to quickly submit your code and
return a URL. Its goal is to bring together a few
handy ideas to enhance the standard interpreter
without getting carried away.
License: MIT/X Consortium License
Changes:
This release cleans up the code and fixes several bugs that could cause bpython to crash due to autocompletion drama. It also properly returns control to the terminal on the event of a traceback. There is general clean-up of some code.
nss-ldapd is a (glibc) NSS module for doing name
lookups to an LDAP server. This module allows
retrieval of information about Unix accounts,
groups, hosts, and other information from an LDAP
directory. It is a fork from the nss_ldap module
to do some architectural changes. This
implementation splits the functionality into an
NSS part and a local daemon to do the lookups.
This works around a number of problems in the
original implementation.
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Changes:
This release fixes a number of bugs in the 0.6.2 release and tries to focus on stability. Some more improvements to the retry and fail-over mechanism have been made, and support for groups with up to around 150000 members has been added. The nslcd daemon can now be run under a separate user and group, and SASL authentication has been improved.
paexec distributes performing the given tasks
(stdin) across several CPUs or machines in a network.
License: MIT/X Consortium License
Changes:
-t '' means "no transport". This significantly simplifies writing shell scripts with paexec. Tests for this case have been added. paexec has no limited internal buffers anymore. They are resized automatically as needed. The PAEXEC_BUFSIZE environment variable sets an initial buffer size, not the maximum. The README has notes about non-standard function getopt_long, and advice on how to build paexec on platforms with no getopt_long support (HP-UX, Solaris, etc.). This release can be built with the ancient version of pmake (1.45) found in some Linux distributions.
wbmclamav is a webmin module to manage Clam
Antivirus (ClamAV).
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Updated for ClamAV 0.93. Old versions of ClamAV are not supported anymore. An include issue in the ACL management file has been fixed. A deletion problem with some particular filenames has been fixed. The SpamAssassin API is used instead of command a line tool for spam management. An include issue has been fixed.
AKFAvatar is software where an image of an avatar
appears on the screen and tells things written in
a balloon. First the avatar moves slowly in from
the right side, then text is shown in a balloon.
The program avatarsay can be used as a fancy
terminal emulator, or as a fancy text reader or
man page viewer. Furthermore, the program supports
some basic commands, so it can be used as a
scripting language for simple demos. You can use
the libakfavatar library from your own C programs.
There is also a rather mature Pascal binding for
GNU Pascal and Free Pascal.
License: GNU General Public License v3
Changes:
The terminal mode supports some more escape
sequences, and the annoying line-editing bug was
fixed. When you move the mouse over the menu, you
get some visual feedback now. In the filechooser
dialog, you can go back and forth.
hdparm is a Linux shell utility for viewing and manipulating various IDE drive and driver parameters. Most drives can benefit from improved performance using a command similar to "hdparm -qm8 -qu1 -qc1 -qd1 /dev/hda".
License: BSD License (original)
Changes:
Fixes were introduced to permit building against
older kernels which lack SG_IO. The -R and -U
flags were removed, as kernel support is broken
and being removed. Sysfs support for drives 2TB or
larger was added. The -Q flag now works for SATA.
Many other fixes were made.
Smb4K is a SMB and CIFS (Windows) share browser
for KDE. It uses the Samba software suite to
access the SMB and CIFS shares of the local
network neighborhood. Its purpose is to provide a
program that's easy to use and has as many
features as possible.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A crash in the network search code and a problem
with unquoted paths were found and eliminated. In
addition, the synchronization code was fixed.
NTFS-3G is a stable read/write NTFS driver. It is
available for over 130 Linux distributions, including most major ones. Moreover, it has been ported to other operating systems like FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenSolaris, Haiku, and Mac OS X, and to big-endian and 64-bit computer architectures.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Deletions from a sticky directory (on Linux kernel
version 2.6.25 and later) were fixed.
RLog provides a flexible message logging facility
for C++ programs and libraries. It is
subscription based, meaning you can subscribe to
messages of your choice in an number of ways: by
hierarchical channel name (e.g. "debug", "debug/
special", "error", etc.), or filename, component
name, etc. Log messages are individually enabled.
It is meant to be fast enough to leave in
production code - even where it may be called
many times, as both the GCC and Intel compilers
reduce the logging overhead a few clock cycles if
they are dormant (with no subscribers). Other
add-on components can extend subscriptions to
external programs, allowing you to enable and
collect debugging messages remotely.
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Changes:
Updates were made to compile with gcc 4.x or VC8.
It is now easier to use in dynamic modules. Thread
safety was improved.
CLIChart is intended for quick summarization and
visualization of data, especially from system
logs. It provides tools to extract and manipulate

generate and view simple charts from tabular data
on the command line. Charts can be displayed in a
window and/or saved.
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Changes:
This release contains a couple of minor bugfixes
(in cliserver and aggregate), as well as a new
script called histogram, which generates a
histogram of data distribution from tabular data
(text or CSV).
AMOP is an automatic mock object for C++. By using
ABI and template techniques, it can simulate a
pseudo-"Reflection" which is normally not
supported in C++. The main differences between
AMOP and other mock object libraries is that users
do not need to implement the interface of the
object to be mocked.

The framework provides a transport abstraction layer and can currently encapsulate the network traffic in UDP (IPv4 and IPv6), TCP (IPv4 and IPv6), HTTP, or SMTP messages. GNUnet supports accounting to provide contributing nodes with better service. The primary service build on top of the framework is anonymous file sharing.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release adds support for Google-style searches and for ranking search results by availability. An improved search protocol gathers more search results and better datastore implementations return more diverse search results while maintaining scalability. Naming of namespaces and pseudonyms was made more user-friendly. Added features include a new integrated hostlist server and a new tool, gnunet-auto-share, for automatic sharing of files in directories. Many other bugfixes and minor improvements were also done.
PowerTop is tool that detects which Linux programs
and kernel tunables are resulting in the largest
power consumption and use of battery time. By
fixing (or closing) these applications or
processes, you can immediately see the power
savings in the tool. You'll also see the estimated
time left for battery power if you are running a
laptop.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
On sufficiently new CPUs (and Linux kernel 2.6.25), Powertop now reports which C-states the CPU and BIOS report and support. Support for reading C-state information via sysfs was added. Support for sysfs power supply class was added. Support for the "P" key to show the PIDs of the processes when possible was added. Support for Intel 4965 wireless power saving mode was added.

develop your own custom icons and attributes in
WACS.
GREYCstoration is an image regularization
algorithm that processes an image by locally
removing small variations of pixel intensities
while preserving significant global image
features, such as sharp edges and corners.
The most direct application is denoising. By
extension, it can also be used to inpaint or
resize images. It is based on methods using
nonlinear multi-valued diffusion PDEs (Partial
Differential Equations) for image
regularization. This kind of method generally
outperforms basic image filtering techniques
(such as convolution, median filtering, etc.)
classically encountered in painting programs.
Other image denoising plugins are available,
but are not free, and the corresponding
algorithms are kept secret.
License: The CeCILL License
Changes:
A new image cleaning mode was added (for the
command-line only). It is based on diffusion PDEs
on image patch space. It gives quite interesting
denoising results when parameters are set
correctly, sometimes better than with the
traditional "-denoise" method.
Satchmo's mission is to use Django to create a
framework for creating unique and robust online
stores.
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
A subscription product was added. Gift certificate
support was added. A new Cybersource payment

flexible and supports customizable keyboard
layouts. Users can edit and save new or unknown
keyboard layouts, as the basic course provided by
the program was designed to not depend on specific
layouts.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Scoring and ranking (Top 10) were added for the
fluidness exercises. It's also possible to
configure it as an online contest with a remote
Web server.
ctrlproxy is an IRC server with multiserver support. It runs as a
daemon and connects to a number of IRC servers, then allows you to
connect from a workstation and work as the user that is logged in to
the IRC server. After you disconnect, it maintains the connection to
the server. It acts like any normal IRC server, so you can use any IRC
client to connect to it. It supports multiple client connections to
one IRC server (under the same nick), allowing you to connect to IRC
using your IRC nick, even while you have an IRC session open somewhere
else. It supports logging (in any user-specified format), password authentication, and CTCP (in case no clients are
connected).
IRC servers can be contacted over IPv6 and/or using SSL. Automatic identification with NickServ is supported, as well as various types of backlog.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Support for listening on IPv6 addresses was fixed.
SSL client support was improved. Handling of
several response codes was fixed.
cpdetector is a small yet clever framework for
codepage detection that integrates different
strategies. It may be used as a library for third

network. It also includes a best-practice
implementation in form of a command line tool that
allows sorting and transforming large collections
of documents based on their codepage. Available
strategies include: jchardet (exclusion, frequency
analysis, and guessing), detection of the HTML
charset property, and detection of the XML
encoding declaration.
License: Mozilla Public License (MPL)
Changes:
The proguard shrinker is now used, so the
cpdetector jar is now more than ten times smaller.
System.out is no longer used for logging in
JChardetFacade. All packages were renamed with the
prefix "info.monitorenter".
NAT Monitor is a tool to monitor hosts' bandwidth usage in a Linux-NAT network. A daemon collects data and clients display them (currently a Java applet graph). It detects new hosts and has a nice summary statistic.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The memory footprint was greatly reduced. Security
was improved with privilege dropping and a limit
on the number of clients. An almost full-featured
Java client was added.
Schoorbs is a system to make room and resource
bookings through a Web 2.0 GUI. You can also
interact with it through a REST API. It allows you to book rooms and resources grouped by areas. Activity can be logged via a simple logging interface.

files are caught. Zip member file filenames are
decoded from UTF-8, replacing invalid characters.
ACLs on system pages were improved. UPDATE.html
was added.
SlideViewer is an automatic picture viewer. Just
point SlideViewer at directories containing
images, and it displays the images as a
slide-show. Convenient controls enable changing
the speed, pausing, going back, and sequencing
manually. It searches selected directory branches
for images, such as when photographs are stored as
