Several performance improvements were made, impacting bzr diff, bzr status, and bzr pull. The conversion from dirstate/pack branches into rich-root(pack) has been improved, paving the way for rich-root-pack to become the default format within the next few releases. This will make interoperating with a subversion repository more seemless, as bzr-svn has required local repositories to be in rich-root(-pack) formats. User and developer documentation have both been expanded.

Experimental native Hardy packages were provided.

OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify email reading. It allows you to read the same mailbox from multiple computers and ensures that your changes will be automatically reflected on all computers. You can use various mail clients to read a single box or read mail while offline with full synchronization when you reconnect. You can read IMAP mail with readers that lack IMAP support (same goes for SSL). OfflineIMAP's multithreaded synchronization algorithm performs between 10 and 60 times faster than many mail readers' internal IMAP support, and it can be used even with mail readers that support IMAP already. There are five available user interface modules, including scripted execution, an interactive terminal interface, and GUI interfaces. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: More work on LocalStatus creation.

AFS is a distributed filesystem which offers a client-server architecture, transparent data migration abilities, scalability, a single namespace, and integrated ancillary subsystems.

dvipng makes PNG or GIF graphics from DVI files obtained from TeX and its relatives. Its benefits include speed; it uses very fast bitmap-rendering code for DVI files. Furthermore, it does not read the postamble, so it can be started before TeX finishes. It supports PK, VF, PostScript Type1 (via FreeType or t1lib), and TrueType fonts (via FreeType), color specials, can render CJK fonts, and more. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes: The main code addition is limited support for literal PostScript specials using gs. For example, most of the PSTricks package can now be rendered using dvipng. Unfortunately, dvipng can only handle drawing PostScript code at the moment, not PostScript code intended to make dvips + gs scale, rotate, or move DVI glyphs (characters). This is because the graphics state cannot be communicated back to dvipng from gs. As a result, there are no guarantees. Also, the performance in terms of runtime could be better.

levmar is a robust and efficient C/C++ implementation of the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) optimization algorithm. LM solves the non-linear least squares problem, i.e. fitting a set of m observations with a model that is non-linear in n unknown parameters (m>=n). levmar includes double and single precision LM variants, both with analytic and finite difference approximated Jacobians. It also has some support for constrained non-linear least squares, allowing linear equation and box constraints to be imposed. Availability of LAPACK/BLAS is strongly recommended for carrying out linear algebra computations. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: Improved support for problems with zero measurement vectors. Memory retained among invocations of the linear solvers is released when levmar terminates. The option of compiling only the single or only the double precision functions of levmar has been added. A new error code 7 signaling infinite values in the function provided by the user has been introduced. A couple of minor problems in the line search procedure of box constrained optimization have been fixed. A detailed example on using levmar for fitting a non-linear model to noisy data has been added.

The Amahi Home Server is a "Home Digital Assistant," or HDA. It's a server targeted for home and home office environments. It provides calendaring, a wiki, shared network storage, network backups, a printer server, remote access, and more. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes: Version 0.88 of the platform software, with new and improved support for themes in the dashboard, setup, and platform screens, as well as a “theme server” for other apps so that changing the theme in the platform settings can change the theme across apps. This version also contains some minor stability improvements. Version 0.25 of the webcal app (the one showing the calendars through a Web interface) is now using the theme server in the base Amahi platform to get part of its look and feel.

Ragel compiles finite state machines from regular languages into C, C++, Objective-C, D, Java, or Ruby code. It allows the programmer to embed actions at any point in a regular language, and to control non-determinism in the resulting machines. It understands concatenation, union, kleene star, subtraction, intersection, epsilon transitions, and various other common operators. It also supports the construction of scanners and the building of state machines using state charts. It can be used to create very fast recognizers and parsers that are also robust. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: A number of reported bugs were fixed. Include and import file searching was improved. The -I include path option was added.

jmemcached is a Java implementation of the daemon (server) side of the memcached protocol. It implements a clone of the C version of the memcached daemon, but in pure Java. It is protocol compatible with the C version of memcached. Existing clients, including the one for Java, should work without modification. Replacing the Java version with the C version (and vice versa) is trivial. It can be embedded in an existing Java project or used from its commandline interface (which mimics the C version in arguments). License: The Apache License 2.0 Changes: A major bugfix to the ADD protocol method. An upgrade to the most recent stable Apache Mina version. Fixes to the internal cache API to expose proper methods for public use. A 'stop' method to cleanly bring the daemon down.
