About: PACT is a LAMP-based application to manage connections and circuits for business partners, affiliates, and branch offices. The system tracks telecommunications circuits so that a company keeps track of which circuit is used for what purpose. The system also allows you to do cost comparison with average industry cost for a specific circuit type. This is to ensure you are not paying your service providers more than others. The system provides many graphical reports to analyze circuit types, cost comparison, partners, and so on. Changes: Some bugfixes and feature enhancements were made.
About: jbum is an application (Webstart or jar) that takes a directory of images and turns them into a page of HTML. It generates thumbnails and supports rotating, reordering, captioning, spell-checking, and styling. Changes: "Polariod-Flow" is now the default Layout. "Polariod-Flow" is basically a JavaScript program which does the photo layout dynamically. Mostly this allows the number of rows and columns of the page to be determined dynamically based on the browser's size. It even correctly handles resizing of the browser.
About: monotone is a distributed version control system with a flat peer model, cryptographic version naming, meta-data certificates, decentralized authority, and overlapping branches. It works out of a transactional version database stored in a regular file, and uses a custom network protocol for efficient database synchronization. Changes: Many operations are much faster. Most notably, pulling is approximately twice as fast, operations that calculate branch heads ("heads", "update", "commit", ...) are much faster, and fixing a memory leak in Botan has made large checkout operations much faster as well. The output from "status", "annotate", and "pluck" has been improved. Conversion of changelog messages to UTF-8 now works correctly, and a few invariant violations have been fixed. Several improvements were made to the "automate" interface.
About: Simple Groupware is a complete groupware package. Unlike other groupwares, Simple Groupware contains a new programming language called sgsML, which was created to quickly create powerful Web applications. Changes: Full support for synchronizing contacts over SyncML in combination with the Funambol Data Synchronization Server (former Sync4j) was added. The maximum lengths for usernames and groupnames were increased to 128 characters. The size of the CSS sheet was reduced by cleaning up the fonts. Missing translations were added for some modules. Displaying events crossing into the next day was fixed.
About: DBSight is a J2EE search platform for rapidly developing search engines on any relational database, for both beginners and experts. It's scalable, easy to create, and fast to search. It features a built-in database crawler following user-defined SQL, incremental indexing, user-controllable result ranking, the ability to return results with highlights (like Google), and categorized result counts (like Amazon). It can easily integrate with a non-Java environment with XML/JSON. There is a UI for all operations, so no Java coding is necessary. Changes: Analyzer is now consistent for query parsing and content indexing. MySQL crawling performance was greatly improved. Multi-server clustering mode was improved with faster transferring speed and write-ahead to ensure correctness. Index configuration files and template files can be downloaded and uploaded.
About: KVpnc is a KDE frontend for various VPN clients. It supports Cisco VPN (vpnc) and IPSec (FreeS/WAN, racoon). vpnc is a replacement for the Cisco VPN client, and is used as client for the cisco3000 VPN Concentrator. FreeS/WAN (OpenS/WAN) is a IPSec client for Linux 2.4.x, and raccoon is a IPSec client for Linux 2.6.x and *BSD. It also supports PPTP (pptpclient) and OpenVPN.

The interface can now run on Windows.
About: JGame is a small high-level 2D game engine for producing games on a variety of platforms. It does a lot of the stuff you need for a game automatically, and "classic" type arcade games can be developed with a minimum of effort. It is based on sprites with automatic collision detection, and a tile-based background with easy sprite-tile interaction facilities. JGame games can easily be run as stand-alone applications or as applets, and can be scaled to any resolution. Changes: A game class that handles a number of common game states and variables was added. Several standard game objects were added. Five new games were added, and two games were improved. Other changes are mouse support, a custom paint method in JGObject, some extra tile cid manipulation functionality, a simplified defineImage, an initialization progress bar and splash image, and various minor changes.
About: The PyGTK Shell is a framework that makes Python applications open to real-time programmatic intervention by users. It is just the right tool for Python programming control freaks. Changes: The code was rewritten, and its structure has changed heavily. The old functionality has been mostly restored. distutils is now used to create the distributed packages. A module for editing XML was introduced.
About: Metafox is an enterprise Content Management System which uses a special template system.

Server-side image resizing was implemented. Support for serving content through custom templates, such as RSS2, was added. Content inclusion from one article to another article was added. The administration interface was improved by splitting content to static pages and dynamic articles. This version works better with new versions of MySQL (such as 5.0), and has better support for the UTF-8 encoding. Long links submitted to the discussions are truncated. Several bugfixes and tiny improvements were made.
About: Libchipcard is a C/C++ framework for easy access to chipcards/smartcards via chip card terminals/readers. It uses the CTAPI library provided by the manufacturer of the reader and provides a filesystem on memory chip cards. It works under Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Windows, and has been tested with Towitoko and Kobil readers even in parallel. Changes: This is the first beta release of Libchipcard3. The chipcard command and data structure handling has been moved from the server to the client. The remote driver code has been replaced by three operation modes: stand-alone, master, and slave. The chipcard3-tool now has an additional command which allows listening for changes on the server. The new IFD driver code now handles all supported kinds of IFD drivers (IFD2, IFD3, and CCID, both pre and post 1.1.0). Some important bugs have been fixed and the XML files have been cleaned up. "chipcardd3 init" now works as expected.

A new Web site was created. <<tag> is now correctly parsed as text. A method to render the start of a tag in HTML was added. CssSelectorNodeFilter does not accept [attr|=val].
About: Brinance is a commandline financial planning and tracking program, hoping to be a functional replacement for something like GnuCash for those who prefer the command line. It does not have all the features of GnuCash, but it does have a few beyond being a checkbook register: scheduling transactions in the future, multiple accounts, recurring transactions, and a Perl module to allow just about any interface to the program to be easily written. Changes: Recurring transactions were added, using a cron-like format. The file format was changed. Transfers were added.
About: Goblin Hack is the world's first and probably last smooth-scrolling, ASCII-graphics-based, OpenGL accelerated, rogue-like dungeon game. The brave and noble warrior must navigate through random dungeons, picking up goodies and picking off baddies along the way. Quiver in fear at the ASCII fireball-breathing Dragons, Beholders, Vampires, and even the occasional Goblin. Changes: More monsters were added, such as copperhead snake and nastier spirits. Pause and help screens were added. Exits are no longer next to doors. The difficulty is now a bit easier on lower levels. Snakes and dragons are less likely to appear on lower levels. Characters can now shoot through open doors.
About: KBackup is a program that lets you back up any directories or files. It uses an easy-to-use directory tree to select the things to back up. The program was designed to be very simple to use so that it can be used by those who are not computer experts. The storage format is the well known tar format, compressed with bzip2 or gzip. It also includes German, French, Italian, and Russian translations for the user interface and English and German translations of the handbook. Changes: This release adds systray functionality and a profile setting to define the file prefix.
About: The GNOME Structured File Library is a utility library for reading and writing structured file formats. Support for MS OLE2 streams is complete, as is zip import. There is also support for document metadata and some initial work on decompressing VBA streams in OLE files for future conversion to other languages. This library replaces libole2 and is used in gnumeric, mrproject, abiword, libwv2, koffice. It is also part of the AAF format. Changes: The ODF support in the thumbnailer's schema has been enabled. Handling of transparent backgrounds in ODF thumbnails has been fixed. Handling of default namespaces in libxml sax wrappers has been fixed. This release handles odd OLE2 files from palmcalc. --mandir=... works. A crash on parsing completely empty XML is avoided. This release crudely avoids producing invalid XML by dropping certain control characters on the floor.
About: wbmclamav is a webmin module to manage Clam Antivirus (ClamAV). Changes: A bug with empty sender email headers has been fixed. Some basic SpamAssassin learning support using "sa-learn" if available has been added. Search results pagination mode has been updated to be more suitable for large quarantines.
