M.A.M.E. Catalog / Launcher II (also referred to as QMC2) is the successor of one of the first XMAME GUI frontends available, QMamecat (derived from MAMECAT, which was text-only). QMC2 has been rebuilt from scratch as a Qt 4 project. Parts of the design and code were inspired by its predecessor. The new design was made as flexible as possible to minimize dependencies from frontend- and CLI-related MAME changes, which was a major deficiency of QMamecat. QMC2 uses a template-based MAME configuration scheme, which can easily be enhanced with additional command line options (defined in an XML template file).
License: GNU General Public License v2
Changes:
A Polish translation of the emulator options template has been completed, as well as a French translation. The template reader for emulator options has been improved (using QXmlStreamReader), and template syntax has changed to a new format to allow for easier translation (this format is not compatible with older versions of QMC2). The game's short name (the game ID) is now also included in the gamelist and can be used for sorting.
NSH consolidates configuration for interfaces, bridging, routing, PF packet filtering, NAT, queueing, BGP, OSPF, RIP, IPsec, DHCP, DVMRP, SNMP, relayd, and NTP. It presents the user with a vaguely Cisco-like interface with all configuration in one easy to read text list. It also gives the user access to system information and diagnostics. NSH replaces the userland commands that handle these functions, and talks directly to the OpenBSD kernel (or to the control utilities for external managed daemons.)
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
Command completion for first level and most second level commands. ftp-proxy, sshd, and inetd handlers (no options yet, just on/off) and a resolv.conf handler (with local-control or dhcp-control.) Various bugfixes. Daemon controls including SSH, NTP, BGP, and OSPF are now production-tested and considered reliable.
Flashdist is an embedded OpenBSD installer for
flash disks, hard disks,
and pseudo disks. It keeps the entire system
mounted read-only during
normal operation for minimal chance of failure. It
installs an entire
set of system utilities and manual pages (targeted
towards networking
features) in less than 32MB of disk or flash
space. The distribution
list can be customized to target other
applications, or to use even less
space.
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
This release adds a flag to flashdist that disables SSH private key generation. Use this flag in flashimgbld. SSH key generation has been moved ahead of nsh execution (for current nsh.) In /etc/nshrc, sshd is active by default. Outdated items have been removed from kernel configurations. All disk images on the Web site now have SSH private keys removed (and will auto-generate on first boot.)
Ctalk provides object oriented programming features, like classes, methods, operator overloading, and inheritance to otherwise standard C programs. You can use only a few objects and classes in a program, or you can write programs entirely in Ctalk. The package provides a translator from Ctalk source code into C for compilation and a library that provides run-time support for class objects. The preprocessor, ctpp, is also available separately, and the package includes sample programs and documentation.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release contains compatibility bugfixes and updates for Cygwin platforms.

A new key-click sound and automatic click feature
were implemented.
ALTSE is an alternative search engine technology. It can index up to a couple million Web pages. Altse does not aim to replace existing search engine technologies such as Google, Yahoo, and so on. Instead, it aims to provide an affordable alternative to index Web pages for small size businesses and organizations.
License: Free for non-commercial use
Changes:
A central configuration file has been put into use
more widely in all applications. The search engine
has been tested and developed further to achieve
faster searches and faster indexing. Some major
bugs in the search have been identified and
removed. Installation instructions were added,
along with a couple of scripts that will aid in
the installation, although the process is still
mainly manual.
tinyTiM (the tiny Topic Maps engine) is a small
and lightweight in-memory implementation of TMAPI.
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Changes:
The "voc" package was added, which provides access
to common PSIs. "DuplicateRemovalUtils" was added,
which is used to remove duplicate Topic Maps
constructs. "TypeInstanceConverter" was added,
which is used to convert. The type-instance
associations were moved into the topic's [types]
property. Several index optimazions were done. All
indexes return copies of their collections to
avoid concurrent modification exceptions.
Word War vi is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up '80s
style arcade game. You pilot your "vi"per craft
through core memory, rescuing lost .swp files,
avoiding OS defenses, and wiping out those memory
hogging emacs processes. When all the lost .swp
files are rescued, head for the socket which will
take you to the next node in the cluster.
License: GNU General Public License v2
Changes:
Ogg files are now decoded directly to memory,
rather than relying on oggdec to decode to wav
files. "Kernel defense guns" were added. The look
of the ground based guns was enhanced. The
starfield rendering code was optimized for trivial
cases below or above the horizon line.
Miscellaneous other small bugs were fixed.
TorChat is a peer-to-peer instant messenger with a
completely decentralized design, built on top of
Tor's location hidden services, giving you
extremely strong anonymity. It is very easy to
use, and doesn't need to be installed or
configured on Windows systems.
License: GNU General Public License v3
Changes:
This version has a protocol change which is not
backwards compatible, so it is recommended to
update to 0.9.9.140 and stop using any older
version. The new version features pseudo-offline
messages. The process of adding and removing
buddies from the list has been improved. Many bugs
have been fixed, including a critical one that
could have led to a possible DoS attack.
Mathomatic is a fast and easy-to-use algebraic
calculator program that can manipulate symbolic
equations and expressions, perform standard,

Changes:
A useful new "simplify sign" command option was
added. (a^m)^n is now handled as documented.
HTML Forms generation and validation is a PHP
class that generates HTML forms supporting many
built-in validation types on server and client
sides. It prevents security attacks by discarding
spoofed values, has multiple submit protection,
outputs HTML for fields displayed as fully
accessible or in read-only mode, and has field
value filtering and reformatting. It can be
extended with custom control plug-ins. AJAX based
form submission, upload monitor progress bar,
auto-complete text input, automatic layout
renderer, calendar date, CAPTCHA, Google Maps
world location selection, linked select, and
animation effects plug-ins are available.
License: BSD License (original)
Changes:
The paged layout plug-in was enhanced to
automatically adjust the container size to fit all
pages. Now it also supports displaying caption
texts at the top of each page. The vertical layout
plug-in was also enhanced to support displaying
multiple groups of inputs in side by side columns.
The date input plug-in has a new option to let the
user set a value different from the default only
after clicking on a check box.
Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and
groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet.
It also enables software developers to create new
communication tools with built-in privacy features. It
provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow
organizations and individuals to share information over
public networks without compromising their privacy.
Individuals can use it to keep remote Websites from tracking
them and their family members. They can also use it to
connect to resources such as news sites or instant
messaging services that are blocked by their local Internet
service providers (ISPs).
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
This release adds dizum as the new sixth v3
directory authority. Relays with dynamic IP
addresses and no DirPort now notice more quickly
when their IP address changes. A few rare crashes
and memory leaks were fixed. A few other
miscellaneous bugs were fixed.
Rally is a fast GuiLoader-based front end for RPM.
It provides RPM package management functionality
via an intuitive tree-less graphical interface.
Users are able to browse available repositories,
search for packages, and perform updates,
installations, and removals. Rally employs
Parallel Installer, which downloads and updates
packages simultaneously, potentially reaching a
vast performance boost. Rally is a part of the
Crow Designer project, and was started as a sample
GuiLoader-based application.
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
Grouping of the obsoleted packages was improved.
Several visual enhancements were made.
FotoFix is a very simple image viewer mostly for
managing freshly downloaded photos from your
camera. It can walk through image lists, rotate
images, and remove red eyes (with some luck). It
was inspired by IrfanView for Windows. It requires
the Prima and IPA libraries.
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
Support for animated GIFs was implemented (but
needs the latest Prima 1.26). Slide-show image
transition effects were implemented.
Igelle is a Linux-based operating system
distribution that is designed to run on various
different devices, including desktop/laptop
computers, cellular phones, mobile internet
devices, and other handheld computers. As much as
reasonably possible, it aims to produce the same
user experience across all supported platforms.
License: GNU General Public License v3
Changes:
This is the first publicly available release of
the operating system. This is an early development
release, and not suitable for general end-users
yet. A prebuilt ISO for x86 and a source package
have been released for this version.
The Zild C Database Library implements a small, fast, and
easy to use database API with thread-safe connection pooling. The library can connect transparently to multiple database systems. It has zero runtime configuration and connections are specified via a URL scheme.
segatex is a tool to configure SELinux policy with
the help of a GUI. At the push of buttons, it can
generate a .te file in the /root/segatex
directory. You can then edit your .te file, make a

and also edit present modules. You can install,
update, and remove modules. Also, you can semanage
list and semanage login, fcontext, and port. You
can download SELinux related RPMs, including
xguest and sepostgresql.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
An FTP tab to download Fedora ISO files was
incorporated.
queXML is a simple XML schema for designing

Barcode4j 2.0 alpha 2.
Ready Lisp packages an ANSI Common Lisp
environment for Mac OS X users as a single
application bundle. It repackages and configures
the following components: Aquamacs Emacs, SBCL
Common Lisp, the SLIME Lisp IDE, and more.
License: Freeware
Changes:
This version updates SBCL to version 1.0.16, SLIME
to version 2008-04-24, and Aquamacs to 1.3b. It
also disables 64-bit and experimental threading
support, as both are known to have issues on Mac

of cells.
Sendmail is a Mail Transfer Agent, which is the
program that moves mail from one machine to
another. Sendmail implements a general
internetwork mail routing facility, featuring
aliasing and forwarding, automatic routing to
network gateways, and flexible configuration.
License: OSI Approved
Changes:
The MTA accessed storage after it free()d it. This
was a regression introduced in 8.14.2. The
libmilter state engine did not deal correctly with
milters that requested the omission of protocol
steps during the negotiation callback.
libsixdof provides C and C++ interfaces to 6
degrees of freedom devices. The library is
intended to be very unobtrusive to an application,
allowing support to be implemented without great
effort. For example, an application might only
need to issue 3-4 API calls to tell libsixdof
about Xwindow objects that it should monitor.
Apart from those setup calls, functions that are
useful for controllers should be registered with
libsixdof. The configuration of the device (how
its axis movements map to these registered
functions) is then taken care of completely by
libsixdof. The application doesn't really need to
care what 6dof device is attached, where it is
attached (USB, etc.), what its name is, or if
there is more than one.
License: OSI Approved
Changes:
Button binding support was added. The API was
extended to allow an application to have more than
one window managed by libsixdof. The public C++
interface is now pure virtual to help future
extensions to avoid breaking ABI compatability.
DB2-JMIN is a general-purpose database
administration client, inspired by phpMyAdmin. It
was originally designed for DB2, but now also
supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, Derby, and
Oracle. It can be used as a Web application or a
desktop application. It runs on Tomcat 5.5 or
Swing with JDK 1.5. It features schema browsing,
table browsing, table structure, and an SQL query
editor.
License: GNU General Public License v2
Changes:
Support was added for saving new db credentials
using the F3 key in the password field. A bug in
which the DROP command was not recognized was
fixed.
MeTA1 is a modularized message transfer agent (MTA)
consisting of five (or more) persistent processes,
four of which are multi-threaded. A queue manager
controls SMTP servers and SMTP clients to receive
and send email messages, an address resolver
provides lookups in various maps (including DNS)
for mail routing, and a main control program
starts the other processes and watches over their
execution. The queue manager organizes the flow of
messages through the system and provides measures
to avoid overloading the local or remote systems
by implementing a central control instance. It is
simple to configure using a C-like syntax and is
secure and efficient.
License: Other/Proprietary License with Source
Changes:
The value part of a mailertable entry can now
follow the same syntax as the MeTA1 configuration
file. This is another step to use the syntax rules
also in all maps for consistency and flexibility.
Kite is a programming language designed to
minimize as much of the programmer experience as
possible. It aims to allow quick development and
running time and low CPU and memory usage.
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
Basic collections (tree, queue, stack) were added.
The source code was modified to be able to compile
statically. Performance was improved significantly
in the virtual machine. Memory management bugs
were fixed.
PCGen is a Java (1.5+) -based character generator aimed at supporting OGL role playing games like those based upon the SRD, RSRD, and MSRD (such as Dungeons and Dragons). It is highly configurable by the users, allowing the Game Master to add or remove races, classes, feats, etc., and to implement house rules such as differing class or race restrictions. Level advancement is also supported, with configurable progressions of feats, skills and ability score bonuses. For "at the table" support, PCGen offers a set of GM plugins. Further options allow the user to produce a customized character sheet, which can then be viewed in, or printed from, the user's WWW browser. It can also produce a "party" sheet with the information needed by the GM.
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Changes:
Of special note for this release is the addition
of a new source dataset based upon Alderac
Entertainment Group's Gods sourcebook.
Additionally, there have been a few feature
additions and bugfixes included in this release.

user-controllable result ranking, the ability to
return results with highlights (like Google), and
categorized result counts (like Amazon). It can
easily integrate with other languages with
XML/JSON/HTML. There is a UI for all operations,
so no Java coding is necessary. Deleted or updated
records in database can be synchronized also.
License: Free for non-commercial use
Changes:
Regular expression search has been added. Time-based ranking has been added for sortBy=_relevance_ during searching. Reserved Words have been added to bypass analyzers. Javadoc for writing JSP templates has been fixed. Time-based ranking has been improved. Duplication deletion performance has been improved. A bug in reserved words with the analyzer has been fixed. Possible hanging during shutdown has been fixed. This release handles unpaired double quotes in the user search string.

on the Swiss Ephemeris (pyswisseph) for planetary
calculations, the Olson timezone database (pytz)
for date and time resolution, and the Qt4 toolkit
(PyQt4) for the graphical user interface.
License: Other/Proprietary License with Source
Changes:
For the moment, Oroboros features natal-radix charts, transits and synastry, progressions, various profection and harmonics methods, a large panel of planets and aspects, a flexible configuration system, charts export in XML format and import from Skylendar and Astrolog32, and online queries to the GeoNames.org atlas database.
Security Management and Risk Tracking (SMART) is a
Web-based application to manage an information
security program. This is a comprehensive solution
that enables a corporation to manage an
information security policy, information security
policy exception handling, security certification
and accreditation (SC&A), third party connection
management, asset and vendor management, and issue
tracking for different types of projects like
security audit, pen testing, SOX, and so on.
License: GNU General Public License v2
Changes:
A number of changes have been made to the database schema to support current and new features. These include PDF reports, WYSIWYG editing using TinyMCE, an improved and more consistent user interface, an implementation of a standard risk management processes, and combined user manuals for easy understanding. There is some code cleanup.
OpenAutoClassifieds is a vehicle classifieds manager. Intended to be both easy to install and easy to administer, it uses PHP to drive a MySQL backend, thus creating a tool that is fast and flexible. No HTML coding is required to add, delete, or modify listings. You can upload photos via your Web browser. If photos are not uploaded for a vehicle, a "photo not available" image will be automatically displayed for the listing.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A login bypass SQL injection attack has been fixed. A remote SQL exploit to gather user data by unauthorized user in listing.php has been fixed. Unauthorized user escalation in the admin section has been fixed. An SQL attack vulnerability that allowed unauthorized users to change database entries has been fixed.
JamochaMUD offers Unicode, plug-in, and multi-language support (8 different languages) to allow a more enjoyable MUCKing/MUDding experience. It features command history, synchronized window controls, experimental SOCKS 5 support, and greatly improved ANSI colour support. It plays nice on Unix systems, supports a wide range of MU*s, and also includes emulation of some TinyFugue editor controls. JamochaMUD includes classes that may be easily reused in other Java applications.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A new "Ticker" plugin has been added allowing timed responses to be sent to the MU* server. A bug has been fixed in the Gags & Highlighting plugin allowing rule changes to become functional immediately. A fix has been made in the JMSwingText (output) component to stop a hang condition from occurring when a malformed colour code is received.
barvinok is a library for counting the number of
integer points in parametric and non-parametric
polytopes based on polylib. For a parametric
polytope, the number of points is represented by
either a piecewise quasi-polynomial or an Ehrhart
series.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release mainly adds support for iterated Laurent series based weighted counting.
SlackE17 is a distribution of the Enlightenment
DR17 window manager for Slackware.
License: Open Software License
Changes:
This release is for Slackware 12.1. There are a lot of changes in almost one year, including a lot of new E17 modules, news themes, an EFL network manager, a new systray and all the up-to-date E17 code from CVS.
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 mainly fixes a number of bugs in 0.6.1 and adds some new functionality, mainly to add support for Active Directory. The timing and retry mechanisms have been changed, and some speed improvements should be noticeable with very large installations.
Bazaar-GTK is a GTK+ frontend for the Bazaar
version control system. It provides Nautilus
integration and a stand-alone application for
browsing Bazaar branches.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Several UI bugs were fixed. Support for showing tags was added. File handlers for Bazaar bundles are now registered in GNOME. The performance of the Nautilus integration plugin was improved.
Linux Security Auditing Tool (LSAT) is a post install security auditing tool. It is modular in design, so new features can be added quickly. It checks many system configurations and local network settings on the system for common security/config errors and for packages that are not needed. It has been tested on Linux (Gentoo, Red Hat, Debian, etc.) and Solaris (SunOS 2.x).
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release adds an extra limits check on resource limits, a Redhat/Fedora specific check in checkcfg, and checking for strict mode in SSH config. It fixes a few small output errors.
jfSnip is a tool to manage and edit your
collection of text clippings. You can insert your
snippets in any open application and access them
easily from your status bar. Use it to answer your
email, write HTML, and more. It is a universal
binary and compatible with Leopard.
RapidXml is an attempt to create the fastest XML
DOM parser possible, while retaining useability,
portability, and reasonable W3C compatibility. It
is an in-situ parser written in C++, with parsing
speed approaching that of strlen() function
executed on the same data. The entire parser is
contained in a single header file, so no building
or configuration is necessary. It has no
dependencies other than a very small subset of
standard C++ library, which can be easily
emulated manually if use of standard library is
not desired.
License: MIT/X Consortium License
Changes:
This release fixes a potential memory overrun bug when calling the memory_pool::clear() function when static and dynamic pool sizes are different.
GnuAccounting is an accounting and bookkeeping application. It interfaces with Moneyplex, Starmoney, Karm, and Winston, embeds OpenOffice.org and Firefox, and utilizes either HSQLDB or a separate MySQL installation.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
There are some bugfixes. The last of the 0.5.5 regressions should be gone.
The main purpose of the Java Wikipedia API (Bliki
engine) is the rendering of the Wikipedia (aka
Mediawiki) syntax into HTML. Partial support for
conversion to PDF and Docbook is available.
Additionally, the Mediawiki api.php calls are
wrapped in Java classes.
License: Common Public License
Changes:
This release adds the appendSignature(StringBuilder writer, int numberOfTildes) method to IWikiModel (for first pass TemplateParser). It has improved image format parsing. Only lowercase letters are allowed as plurals (i.e. using plurals like "Dolphins are [[aquatic mammal]]s that are closely related to [[whale]]s and [[porpoise]]s"). Image embedding in PDF documents has been improved.
LIRC is a package that supports receiving and sending IR signals of the most common IR remote controls. It contains a daemon that decodes and sends IR signals, a mouse daemon that translates IR signals to mouse movements, and a couple of user programs that allow to control your computer with a remote control.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release is an update to support kernel versions up to and including 2.6.25. It adds support for several devices like the Samsung USB IR Receive, Soundgraph iMON IR/LCD, IRLink receiver, VLSystem MPlay Blast, Hauppauge HVR-1300, and many more. irsend now supports a SIMULATE command to simulate IR events.
libprngwrap is a preload-library (so that it
doesn't require any changes to the software it
alters) which replaces the libc rand() random()
and *rand48() calls by code that gets data from
/dev/urandom. This might be a little bit more
secure.
License: GNU General Public License v2
Changes:
The previous version would occasionally return values out of the range specified in the specs. This has been fixed.
Hammock is a mock object framework for J2ME
devices. It is used in conjunction with unit test
frameworks like JMUnit and J2MEUnit. The framework
includes mocks for many of the J2ME UI and I/O
classes as well as a utility, HammockMaker, for
generating mocks of other classes.
License: The Apache License 2.0
Changes:
This release adds an Ant task, testlistener, that can be used with JMUnit to make continuous integration testing possible; no manual intervention is required to run or verify the tests. In particular, a broken test causes an Ant build to fail. The demo application, ObjectStreams, has been extended with more unit tests and to show how continuous integration testing is now possible. Mock objects from the java.util package (e.g. MockDate and MockRandom) have been added to the distribution.
Deliantra is an advancement of the crossfire
multi-user RPG game. Unlike the original project,
it focuses mainly on stability and playability,
but also adds modern technology such as map
scripting, Perl server extensions, asynchronous
I/O, higher resolution graphics, and better client
support.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Custom skills for items are now correctly saved, and ghost items in the inventory are gone. Player starvation gives the correct kill message, and mailscrolls are handed out correctly. There are many bugfixes and enhancements in the random map generator. The invite messages have some hints now, and shops don't mark items in which they have no interest as unpaid. The game core was enhanced and fixed a lot to improve the overall stability and vitality of the code. Kill and death statistics for players have been implemented.
Spindown is a daemon to spin down idle disks and
thus save energy and give the disks a longer
lifetime. It also works with USB disks and
hot-swappable disks because it uses the device ID
to identify the disk instead of the device name
(such as hda or sdb). This means that it doesn't
matter if the disk is swapped while the daemon is
running.
License: GNU General Public License v3
Changes:
Now you can set the spindown time for every individual disk, and reload the settings by sending a SIGHUP to spindownd.
Nautilus-clamscan is a Nautilus extension that
adds a "Scan for viruses" item to the menu that
appears when right-clicking on files. The progress
and results of the anti-virus scan are shown in a
progress dialog.
License: GNU General Public License v3
Changes:
An about dialog has been added. Folder recursion has been added. The progress bar has been fixed.
SQLObject is an object-relational mapper, i.e., a library that will wrap your database tables in Python classes, and your rows in Python instances. It currently supports MySQL through the 'MySQLdb' package, PostgreSQL through the 'psycopg' package, SQLite, Firebird, MaxDB (SAP DB), MS SQL, and Sybase. It should support Python versions back to 2.2.
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Changes:
Limit didn't work in sqlbuilder.Select; this has been fixed. A bug in inheritable delColumn() that doesn't remove properties was fixed. A minor bug was fixed in col.py: the registry must be passed to findClass(). The patch to declarative.threadSafeMethod() has been reverted; it caused more harm than good.
The Zero Install Injector makes it possible for
users to install software easily and without the
need for root privileges. It takes the URL of a
program's interface description and chooses
suitable versions of the program and all of its
dependencies (also identified by URLs) according
to the user's policy settings (eg. "stable",
"testing", "minimal network use", etc). The chosen
versions are downloaded and cached and the program
is run, using environment variables to let it find
the components.
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Changes:
Package information and GPG keys can be downloaded from a mirror service if the main site is unavailable. Checking for updates is automatically disabled if the NetworkManager D-BUS service is present and reports the status as offline. A number of bugs introduced by the large API changes in 0.32 were fixed.
ODB is a clean Python interface around multiple
database back-ends. It currently wraps Berkeley DB
(through the bsddb3 module) and its own native
data storage system which is written in 100%
Python.
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Changes:
The license was switched from a non-standard
BSD-ish license to LGPLv3. The b-tree code was
rewritten from the ground up to make it more
general and robust. The "blist" table type was
implemented. Blists are a btree implementation of
a random-access sequence. The package and module
level documentation was improved.
XSLT Filter is an Apache2 loadable module which
performs XSL transformation on the fly. It uses
LibXML2+LibXSLT as parsing and transformation
engines. The module acts as an Apache2 output
fitler and is compatible with mod_perl, CGI, and
PHP applications.
