Tofu provides an easy and very lightweight way to manage your todo list(s). It stores each of your todo lists in a directory where tasks are individually detailed in plain text files. Then you can assign these tasks a level of priority and some markers to retrieve and manipulate (list, view, edit, delete, etc.) them easily. License: MIT/X Consortium License Changes: A new clean action was added that allows you to wipe out all of the markers set on the selected tasks at once. You can also strictly define which markers are allowed in a given stack by specifying them in a dedicated "markers" file. This release comes with a new "-verbose" option and DESTDIR-like "-root=dir" options in the install.sh script.

A formula is presented to calculate the number of points on y^2+xy=x^3+1 over GF(2^m) in O(m) time.

Trackfs is a small program that tracks file system changes made by another program (or group of programs). It is similar to "installwatch", but works quite differently. While installwatch uses LD_PRELOAD to intercept library functions like open() and unlink(), trackfs runs the child program(s) with tracing enabled and tracks the system calls they make. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: This release adds a new "trexec" program. It has improved execve() handling, in particular in biarch (32/64-bit) environments.

check_oracle_health is a plugin for the Nagios monitoring software that allows you to monitor various metrics of an Oracle database. It includes connection time, SGA data buffer hit ratio, SGA library cache hit ratio, SGA dictionary cache hit ratio, SGA shared pool free, PGA in memory sort ratio, tablespace usage, tablespace fragmentation, tablespace I/O balance, invalid objects, and many more.

Himerge is a GUI for emerge (Gentoo's Portage system) written in Haskell using gtk2hs. The main idea is to simplify browsing the entire portage tree, and allow running the most basic and common options from the emerge command. It also offers several handy tools, like global and local use flags browsers, inspired by UFED (the Gentoo Linux USE flags editor). It also uses eix (a small utility for searching ebuilds with indexing for fast results) as a back-end command to show package information in HTML/CSS format, so you can access a package's Web site for a quick glance. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: The queue operation 'add' is now available through a right-click from the browser version view for each package. The queue operations 'remove/clear' are now available from each of the control panel package queue through a right-click. A backup of all the system files used by himerge will be created inside the ~/.himerge/ directory. The USE flag browser is highly improved. A new browser construction mechanism speeds up the launch of the browser and shows a more organized and coherent framework, listing only the necessary flags boxes available for a package or the whole system use flags.

OSSEC HIDS is a host-based intrusion detection system. It performs log analysis, integrity checking, rootkit detection, time-based alerting, and active response. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes: This release comes with numerous new features, including new LIDS (log-based IDS) support for Solaris BSM, Asterisk, Checkpoint, Postfix SASL, Smart Defense, Debian package, and Shorewall logs.

Votorola is software for hosting open elections. It implements an electoral system that sits outside of government and beyond the control of parties. Its voter lists are backed by a trust network that is rooted in local neighborhoods. It enables communities to advance their own candidates for public office, their own policies for executive action, and their own legislative bills for statutory law. License: MIT/X Consortium License Changes: An 'altin' facility was added to the voter interface. It enables the user to log in under the identities of other users (with limited privileges) in order to see who they are voting for, how they are registered, and so on. The naming of electoral services was simplified on the administrative side.

Augeas is a configuration API and editing tool. It parses common configuration files like /etc/hosts or /etc/grub.conf in their native formats and transforms them into a tree.

PaperBox is a document browser. It lets you nicely view your ebooks, office and text documents and organize them by tags. Relying on Tracker, it is able to instantly discover all documents on your desktop and present them in a convenient way. Tags and other metadata are shared across all Tracker-based applications. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes: Additional MIME types are included in the index: all previously missing OpenDocument formats with text, AbiWord, Microsoft Office, PostScript, and plain text files. Tags can be bundled into categories for easier organising. A simple editor is included. All communication with Tracker is asynchronous, preventing the program from hanging while Tracker is busy. This release responds to external tag changes. If you tag a document in tracker-search-tool, PaperBox will immediately show or hide the tag(s). There are important bugfixes and many translations.

The Origo Eclipse Plug-In allows you to manage releases and workitems of an Origo project directly from within Eclipse. License: MIT/X Consortium License Changes: It is now possible to refresh work items manually. The Origo commandline client is no longer required. The release dialog has been replaced with a more intuitive wizard. Usability has improved on the first start or if an invalid user key has been specified. The menu structure has slightly changed; the release wizard can be started from the toolbar button or from the File-New-Other menu. Preference changes are now applied immediately, and issues are correctly parsed.

Minicomputer is a standalone Linux realtime software synthesizer for creating experimental electronic sounds as they are often used in but not limited to industrial music, IDM, EBM, Glitch, sound design, and minimal electronic. It is monophonic but can produce up to 8 different sounds at the same time, so its good e.g. for drum synthesis. It uses JACK as a real-time audio infrastructure and can be controlled via MIDI. The synthesis is advanced subtractive: two oscillators generate complex waveforms going into a morphing formant filter. An additional oscillator, 7 envelopes, a delay line, and flexible modulation routing for each sound voice gives the sound designer possibilities like a modular synthesizer without the hassle. Instant recall with 512 sound programs and 128 multi sets make it a good companion for the next laptop gig. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes: This release adds an installer/uninstaller, an installer script for presets, improved MIDI handling while using less CPU cycles, and fixes to make backup of memory files work.

Currently, Firebird/Interbase, MS SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite 2 and 3, and Sybase ASE are supported. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes: The ODBC backend is now completely functional and ready for extensive testing. The OpenDBX C++ library has been extended by the Result::columnPos() method to be able to use column names instead of numbers, and the methods in the Result class were generally shortened. odbx_escape() has been fixed (it didn't work after the change in release 1.3.7). The sqlite3 and sqlite backends had a few bugs in their result function which are corrected now.

It is intended as a non-interactive (command line or script-driven) astronomical image plotter intended for the automated or repeated production of finalized publication-quality Postscipt files, rather than a method of inspecting or visualizing the data.

Lynkeos processes astronomical webcam images. By stacking the best images, the signal to noise ratio is increased, and details lost in the noise of individual images become visible in the resulting image. This software accepts, as input, QuickTime sequences or still images, in any image format supported by its active plugins and Cocoa. It generates a 16-bit RGB TIFF image as output, to be further processed with some all-purpose image processing application. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: This release add tools to correct the chromatic dispersion and tune the color balance of the resulting image. It also fixes some bugs.

The PPPOE with Bandwidth Management for OpenBSD Howto is a document which explains how to build an OpenBSD based router for a small flat-sharing community with four residents.
