Changes:
This release's most notable new feature is support for tagging. It also adds numerous interface enhancements and a significant supplement of hardware records in the stock dictionary. Some minor fixes have been applied to switch the VLAN's gateway and database structure.
lshw (HardWare LiSter) is a small tool for Linux to provide detailed information on the hardware configuration of the machine. It can report exact memory configuration, firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU version and speed, cache configuration, bus speed, etc.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This version fixes crashes and portability problems on i386, IA-64, Sparc, and Arch Linux, and adds correct detection of 64-bit systems (x86-64).
Calc is arbitrary precision arithmetic system that uses a C-like language. It's useful as a calculator, an algorithm prototype, and as a mathematical research tool. More importantly, calc provides a machine-independent means of computation. Calc comes with a rich set of builtin mathematical and programmatic functions.
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Changes:
Mac OS Darwin targets no longer attempt to use ldconfig. "make debug" has been fixed by removing the use of rpm.release. An empty custom include directory is not removed during installation.
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.

themes. It's possible to easily enhance the
parsing database. The converter includes some
features to provide a consistent layout of the
input code.

Changes:
XHTML output was fixed. Support for Logtalk and Eiffel ECF files was added.
uperf is a network performance tool that supports
modelling and replay of various networking
patterns. It represents the next generation
benchmarking tools (like filebench) where instead
of running a fixed benchmark or workload, a
description (or model) of the workload is provided
and the tool generates the load according to the
model. By distilling the benchmark or workload
into a model, you can do various things like
change the scale of the workload, change different
parameters, change protocols, etc and analyse the
effect of these changes on your model. You can
also study the effect of interleaving CPU
activity, or think times or the use of SSL instead
of TCP, among many other things.

The MinimizingMakeChange example was simplified. Grid computing was improved. There are Javadoc enhancements and new JUnit tests.
QuBit is a library to support quantum
superpositions in C++. This allows each variable
of the CQuBit type to hold a number of different

operations can be performed on a QuBit, but they
affect every value in the QuBit, at the same time.
Binary operations on two QuBits cause a result
based on every possible outcome.
License: GNU General Public License v2
Changes:
The 'using' directive has been removed from the header file.
