About: Hopkins FBI is a game drawing on American comic-strip cartoons. It is an adventure game which offers many 3D cinematics scenes, hand drawn animations, sounds and great musics.
About: TiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter that uses Gravis Ultrasound-compatible patch files and/or AoundFonts to generate digital audio data from General MIDI files. The audio data can be played through any sound device or stored on disk. On a fast machine, music can be played in real time. TiMidity runs under Linux, FreeBSD, HP-UX, SunOS, and Win32, and porting to other systems with gcc should be easy. Changes: Enabled to configure and compile on cygnus + gcc, improved XAW interface, improved reverb sounds, sorted files in XAW and Tcl/Tk interface and fixed some bugs.
About: xdelta is a library and application for computing and applying file deltas. It features VCDIFF encoding and decoding. Changes: This is a bug-fix and build-improvement release, with a new command `xdelta info' which can be used to list information about a delta. There is now a gtk-style 'xdelta-config' program and autoconf macro to locate the library. Bug fixes are only to the application, not the library.
About: Data::Locations is a virtual file manager which allows you to write and read data (text and binary) to and from virtual files (think of bubbles). Moreover, this manager allows you to (recursively) define "magic" insertion points in these virtual files (bubbles inside other bubbles) which can be filled in (inflated) later (through a "straw", i.e., the object's reference), at any convenient time and in any order you like. Since this software acts purely in memory, there is no slowing down through costly file input/output (i.e., no temporary files). Changes: Version 4.3 is mainly a bugfix release. The bug that caused statements like ``print $location "text";'' to fail in Perl 5.005 is now fixed. Moreover, little improvements of the code and a small regression test suite (for "make test") have been added. Locations continue to be global variables, though. Truly local locations are planned for version 5.0 (which is currently under development).
About: Dime is an acronym for DXF Import, Manipulation, and Export library. It is a C++ class library based on the AutoCAD DXF file format. A small example program that converts DXF files to VRML files (only the polygon data) is included. Note that dime is not for rendering. Changes: Fixed a couple of bugs, split archive into separate archives for source and documentation (auto-gen.)
About: glFtpD is a multi-platform FTP daemon that has numerous features and is easy to setup and use. Changes: Fixes, some new things introduced like the ability to have anonymous users, new flags and new environment variables.
About: GTK, which stands for the Gimp ToolKit, is a library for creating graphical user interfaces. It is designed to be small and efficient, but still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces created. GTK provides some unique features over standard widget libraries.
About: GLib is a library containing many useful C routines for things such as trees, hashes, and lists. GLib was previously distributed with the GTK toolkit, but has been split off as of the developers' version 1.1.0.
About: GNU Aspell is a spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell. It can either be used as a library or as an independent spell checker. Its main feature is that it does a superior job of suggesting possible replacements for a misspelled word than just about any other spell checker out there for the English language. Unlike Ispell, Aspell can also easily check documents in UTF-8 without having to use a special dictionary. Aspell will also do its best to respect the current locale setting. Other advantages over Ispell include support for using multiple dictionaries at once and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open at once. Changes: Minor compile problem fixed, documentation clarification, Aspell International plans have also been modified.
About: mod_fastcgi provides FastCGI support for the Apache web server. FastCGI is a language independent, scalable, open extension to CGI that provides high performance and persistence without the limitations of server specific APIs. Changes: Bugfixes, support for authentication, authorization, and access handling phases, suexec support and documentation updates.
About: aterm (AfterStep term) is an xterm replacement, based on rxvt v.2.4.8. It includes features such as NeXT style scrollbar, resource efficient pseudo-transparency. It understands root background changes by AfterStep Pager and Esetroot. The primary goal of aterm is to provide cool visual features without resource consumption. It can be compiled to utilize AfterStep's libasimage for wider image format support. Changes: Fast tinting/shading is back now, shading should work fine on 64-bit CPUs, KDE users should be able to get it transparent, image scaling is now 3 times faster, different compilation fixes and many more fixes.
About: Gaby is a small personal database manager using GTK+ and GNOME (if available) for its GUI. It was designed to provide straight-forward access to the types of databases a casual user would normally use, while keeping the ability to easily create databases for other needs. It was designed with extensibility in mind and relies heavily on plug-ins. Changes: This release fixes the broken (due to automake update) 1.0.1 (which fixed a bug on Alpha).
About: The Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) is a tool to monitor the traffic load on network-links. MRTG generates HTML pages containing GIF/PNG images which provide a live visual representation of this traffic.
About: SMSLink implements a client/server gateway to the SMS protocol (short messages on the mobile phones). It requires the use of dedicated hardware (a serial GSM module). Both SMS emission and reception are supported, either in text-mode or in PDU-mode. It also includes an SMS to eMail gateway module. The server runs under Linux and FreeBSD and supports interactive mode via telnet. The command-line client already exists for Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UX, and Win32. A basic Web interface is also provided. Changes: Implemented a full-fledged access control list mechanism, ported the client to Solaris, and fixed a few bugs.
About: WebKNotes is a Web-based knowledge/notes database written in Perl using a plain dir/file (text, HTML, Wiki) hierarchy as a database for notes and subtopics. Features include uploading, searching, user authentication, editing of existing notes, various views, CSS themes, and mod_perl support. Changes: First announced version.
About: jEdit is an Open Source text editor written in Java. It has many useful features, such as syntax highlighting, bracket matching, regular expression searching, multiple file search and replace, folding, and keyboard macros. jEdit also includes a powerful plugin architecture that allows more than 80 plugins to be downloaded and installed from within the editor. Changes: This version adds a cool `console' window for invoking OS commands, there is a pointy-clicky toolbar and a new - +lineNo parameter for going to a line number from the command line. Several bugs have been fixed as well.
About: Card Services for Linux is a complete PCMCIA or PC Card support package. It includes a set of loadable kernel modules that implement a version of the Card Services applications program interface, a set of client drivers for specific cards, and a card manager daemon that can respond to card insertion and removal events, loading and unloading drivers on demand. It supports hot swapping of most card types, so cards can be safely inserted and ejected at any time. Changes: Lots of code cleanup and reorganization, added support for D-Link DMF560TX and 4 socket pcmcia bridges, tulip and epic cards support is now compiled from the 2.2 tree if available, Cardbus updates and SMP compilation issues fixed on 2.2pre9+ kernels.
About: Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It combines remarkable power with very clear syntax, and isn't difficult to learn. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (Tk, Mac, MFC, GTK+, Qt, wxWindows). New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. Changes: Many memory leaks fixed, many small bugs fixed, new features
About: S-news is a simple news server for hosts with one or two users. It is intended to supply spool and offline news reading for a configured selection of newsgroups. S-news does the minimum required to maintain a conventional news spool and makes use of suck for news transport. Changes: This is the first release to be announced.
About: XCmail is a MIME and multi POP3 capable mailtool for X11 using the Xclasses X11 layout library. Its main purpose is to read and write mail, allowing any kind of data to be attached. It can handle MIME types, has helpers to show different types, and can encode and decode binary data into ASCII to allow it to be transported as mail over the Internet. It has many built-in functions such as 2 vCards, unlimited POP3 servers, SMTP, SMTP after POP3, SMTP-AUTH (RFC2554), addressbook, encoders, filters, a special spam filter, spell checker, xface, and a new "virtual folder" concept. It also uses external programs to enhance its feature set. XCmail can be extended through a plugin interface. Changes: XCmail has a new license agreement . Now the sources are available for download and everyone may modify the code or add features.
About: Sambaconfig is a collection of cgi scripts, which calls a common executable (smbread) to generate forms to edit the Samba smb.conf file. It can also be used as a standalone program called by inetd. This application preserves the original smb.conf layout, including comments and include files. Deletions from the config file(s) are made by commenting out the parts to be deleted. It is easy to add custom forms to edit parts of the smb.conf file. Examples included. Changes: Many improvements since last announcement. GNU autoconf, more features, bugfixes etc. A solution to wildcard include files, a better view of all shares and their settings, some process control (view).
About: asp2php converts WWW Active Server Pages (ASP) files that run on the Microsoft IIS Web Server into PHP pages to run on Apache. Changes: Improved the GTK interface and added ODBC support
About: Mod_dtcl is a free/open source implementation of server-parsed Tcl under Apache. It allows you to tightly integrate HTML with Tcl, a widely-used scripting language with many years of development invested in it. There are also many external Tcl modules that you can load into mod_dtcl, to create images, access databases, etc. Changes: Added a modified version of Don Libes' 'cgi.tcl', thanks to Rolf Ade. Improved documentation - it should be easier to install as a statically compiled module. Fixed some small bugs with POST variable handling.
About: PyGTK is a set of Python bindings for the GTK widget set. It provides an object oriented interface that is slightly higher level than the C one. It automatically does all the type casting and reference counting that you normally would have to do with the C API. Changes: Made some changes to the GtkStyle code so you can now change a style's attributes. Also updated the XML parser in pyglade so that it uses xmllib.py if it is available, plus other bugfixes. See changelog for details.
About: gnome-python is a set of interfaces to gnome-libs. It also contains a copy of PyGTK, so you don't have to worry about gnome-python getting out of sync with your copy of PyGTK. The bindings cover almost all of the APIs in gnome-libs. Changes: mainly bug fixes to the pygtk portion of the package. A few minor fixes to the gnome.ui and gnome.zvt modules.
