About: GNU DDD, the Data Display Debugger, is a GUI to command-line debuggers like GDB, DBX, JDB, XDB, Ladebug, WDB, the Perl debugger, or the Python debugger. It provides a graphical data display where complex data structures can be explored incrementally and interactively. Changes: DDD 3.1.3 fixes three minor bugs in DDD 3.1 and works around a LessTif bug that made DDD insensitive. There are no new features.
About: GNU Midnight Commander is a text-mode full-screen file manager. It uses a two panel interface and a subshell for command execution. It includes an internal editor with syntax highlighting and an internal viewer with support for binary files. Also included is Virtual Filesystem (VFS), that allows files on remote systems (e.g. FTP servers) and files inside archives to be manipulated like real files. Changes: This version fixes a number of problems reported by users as well as featuring new reworked dialog boxes for the GNOME edition. Dropping files on a desktop icon works now.
About: xtermset is a command line utility to change several characteristics of an xterm. These are things like title, foreground color, background color, geometry and position. Furthermore the xterm can be iconified, restored to normal size, or refreshed. Changes: The compile time warning was fixed, and several new command line options were added (for textcursor-color, hilight color, and to iconify, restore and refresh the xterm window).
About: GtkEditor is a source code editor widget for GTK+. It is currently used, in one version or another, in several GTK+/GNOME applications, including gIDE, VDKBuilder, GXEdit and Bluefish. The gtkeditor widget sub-classes the gtktext widget, and after initialization, the editor widget can be treated as the usual text widget, and all source-code editing features are taken care of by the widget itself. The behaviour of the editor is decided by dynamic libraries loaded during initialization of the widget. These libraries can be hand-coded or (in the future) created using tools supplied with GtkEditor. Changes: Hacked to work with gtk versions >= 1.1.7
About: xbeats is a beats clock dockable in both Window Maker and AfterStep. It can also run in its own window. Changes: This version adds higher resolution (3 decimals) and some cleanups.
About: GtkAda is an Ada graphical toolkit based on GTK+ 2.2. It allows you to develop graphical applications in Ada using GTK+ and Gnome. Changes: The binding is now Gtk+-1.1 specific, the Gtk part has been updated and lots of work has been done on the Gdk part. This is still considered beta code, although after testing it by re-implementing the testgtk example and by developing a graphical application for vector graphics, it seems already quite stable.
About: gfontview is a GTK+ font viewer for PostScript Type 1 and TrueType fonts. It allows you to display any character or string in a particular font as well as all glyphs present in it. It supports antialiasing and kerning. It can also print font samples and font catalogs. Changes: First usable version.
About: GNU Mailman is software to help manage email discussion lists and e-newsletters. Its integrated Web interface provides easy-to-use access for list members and list administrators. Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, spam filters, topics, Usenet gateways, and more. It is fully internationalized, and supports digests and email commands. It runs on any Linux or Unix-like operating system and is compatible with most email and Web servers, mail readers, and Web browsers. Changes: Primarily a bug fix release, with improvements for performance, security, and compatibility with Python 1.5, consolidation of command line scripts, posts are now logged and admins can get notifications on un/subscribes. Note: For now list.org has not been updated with the latest tarball. Please use follow this link to get 1.0b7.
About: mod_ssl provides provides strong cryptography for the Apache 1.3 webserver via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1). It is based on the SSL/TLS toolkit OpenSSL and supports all SSL/TLS related functionality, including RSA and DSA/DH cipher support, X.509 CRL checking, etc. Additionally it provides special Apache related facilities like DBM and shared memory based inter-process SSL session caching. per-URL SSL session renegotiations, DSO support, etc. Changes: This is a major bugfix version.
About: Fake has been designed to switch in backup servers on a LAN. It has been used to success over the last year to switch in backup Mail, Web and Proxy servers during periods of both unscheduled and scheduled down time. Fake allows you to take over the IP address of another machine in the LAN by bringing up an additional interface and making use of ARP spoofing. The additional interface can be either a physical interface or an IP alias. Changes: Fake now is able to advertise the "real" mac address of hosts that it "fakes" when it is being turned off.
About: Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the package to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Changes: Various bugfixes and enhancements collected during the past two years since the last release. Way too many to mention them all here. The ChangeLog is included in the package.
About: BurnIT is a JAVA front-end to mkisofs and cdrecord, which runs in a graphical environment. This should make it more easy to burn CD's under the platforms cdrecord supports. Changes: Added support for l3enc type encoders and a bugfix for the installation script. Note: BurnIT-1.5pre2 will bring support for mkhybrid, so mkhybrid users are welcome to contact me for ideas.
About: The OpenLDAP Project is a collaborative effort to provide a robust, commercial-grade, fully featured, open source LDAP software suite. The project is managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop OpenLDAP Software and its related documentation. OpenLDAP Software provides a complete LDAP implementation including server, clients, C SDK, and associated tools.
About: gentoo is a file manager written in C. It uses the GTK+ toolkit, and the two-pane concept, somewhat inspired by DOpus. gentoo strives to be very configurable, and also to let you do all configuration from a GUI within the program itself. Using advanced file typing and styling systems, gentoo determines how to display files in its listings, and also how to act on them. The package includes a set of over 120 unique handcrafted icons, for many different types of files. Changes: This release fixes a serious screw-up in 0.9.20 ({}-codes didn't work). It also fixes a long-standing bug in memory handling. I also glitzed up the text viewer quite a bit, and replaced the documentation with much more nicer-looking pages (still outdated, though). All in all, this is the version to have. Sorry for any inconvenience.
About: astime is an analogue clock for X windows. It shows the current time, the date and the day of the week. astime should run anywhere on Unix-like systems in principle but was so far tested on Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris only. The command-line options allow to customize colors of every element of the display. Changes: Added the AM/PM indicator, an extra option to show time in a different timezone and the title can be set as an option.
About: Xfiles is an interactive utility for comparing and merging one file tree with another over a network. It supports freeform work on several machines (no need to keep track of what files are changed on which machine). Xfiles can also be used as a cross-validating disk<->disk backup strategy. Changes: This is a bugfix release. Stop didn't always work.
About: gtkali is a Kali client for Linux. It uses both the kalinix library (ala Jay Cotton) and the GTK+ library. Kali is a gaming network that requires a one-time fee for a lifetime membership with unlimited gameplay and chat. Changes: Fixed an alias bug, added a configure dialog to allow Kali Specific configuration from within GtKali, and the text widget now only moves the scrollbar down if you're not holding the scrollbar.
About: Licq includes all the basic features of ICQ, like sending/receiving messages, chat, file transfer, contact list with pixmaps and user status, basic/extended user info, adding/editing users from within the GUI, user history, user groups, and new user registration. All commands and information are available through a simple and convenient tab dialog. Licq also has a completely configurable user interface with Skin and Icon pack support. It is written in C++ and comes with a GUI plugin using the Qt widget set. Other plugins are also available, like basic MSN support. Changes: This new alpha version includes chat and network fixes.
About: CGIWrap is a setuid wrapper that allows users to install and execute their own cgi scripts that get executed as their own userid. Much of the idea of suexec came from CGIWrap, however, cgiwrap stands on its own, and works with all web servers. CGIWrap must be installed by a system administrator, but after that, users can do their own web scripting. Changes: Checks if user has a valid shell, reports approximate elapsed execution time of cgi script, reports rusage/return code, fixed !logfd check, bug fix for SEGV condition.
About: ypbind-mt is a multi-threaded implementation of a NIS binding daemon. ypbind-mt compiles and works on Linux with glibx 2.x (libc6). It should work on every System with POSIX threads and glibc 2.x. It works under Linux with libc5 and linuxthreads 0.7.1, but this C library isn't really thread safe and shouldn't be used with threads. Changes: Fixes various compiler warnings and checks for more valid seperators.
About: The Network Information Service (NIS) provides a simple network lookup service consisting of databases and processes. It was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). The functionality of the two remains the same, only the name has changed. Its purpose is to provide information, that has to be known throughout the network, to all machines on the network.
About: Dlint analyzes any DNS zone you specify and reports any problems it finds by displaying errors and warnings. Then it descends recursively to examine all zones below the given one (this can be disabled with a command-line option). Changes: Man page now documents all exit statuses and several bugs have been fixed.
About: Fetchmail is a free, full-featured, robust, well-documented remote-mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over on-demand TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections). It supports every remote-mail protocol now in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP, KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, and ESMTP ETRN, ODMR, SMTP, LMTP, and local delivery agents. Changes: IPv6 fixes, added Argentine Spanish as supported language, plugin/plugout code, error message cleanup.
About: ircd-hybrid is a powerful Internet Relay Chat daemon frequently used on the popular EFnet IRC Network. Changes: NAMES and WHOWAS only works with a single target. Many commands are now floodcontrolled. Many bug fixes including a dns problem, +k handling, trace, the install script, a ban bug, and much more.
About: Grip is a CD player and CD ripper/MP3-encoder for the GNOME desktop. It has the ripping capabilities of cdparanoia built in, but can also use external rippers (such as cdda2wav). It also provides an automated frontend for MP3 encoders (presets for lame, bladeenc, l3enc, xingmp3enc, mp3encode, and gogo), letting you take a disc and transform it easily straight into MP3s. The Ogg Vorbis format is also supported. Internet disc lookups are supported for retrieving track information from disc database servers. Grip works with DigitalDJ to provide a unified, "computerized" version of your music collection. Changes: This version supports multi-track ripping/encoding and adds a volume control, output directory specification, optional deleting of .wav files after encoding, and more configurable output filenames. In addition, it should now compile on bleeding-edge versions of gtk+.
