About: The Remembrance Agent (RA) watches your over your shoulder and continuously updates a list of documents relevant to what is being typed or read in an Emacs buffer. Suggestions are then displayed in their own window at the bottom of the frame, and are continually updated every few seconds. The RA uses a multi-field information-retrieval back-end called Savant that can index several different kinds of files, including email archives, HTML, LaTeX, and plain text format. Changes: Complete rewrite. Back-end uses Okapi algorithm for text, template-defined filters for different data types, + much more. Front-end has colors, mouseable queries for different fields, and view keywords feedback.

It provides a convenient interface for C++ programmers to create graphical user interfaces with GTK+'s framework. Highlights include typesafe callbacks, widgets which are extensible by inheritance, and many classes that can be easily combined to quickly create complex user interfaces. Changes: 1.0 release test run, fixed namespace problems and some goofs from 0.99.1.
About: Qps is a visual process manager, an X11 version of "top" or "ps" that displays processes in a window and lets you sort and manipulate them. It displays some general system information, and many details about current processes (such as the TCP/UDP sockets in use by a process). Qps runs on Linux and Solaris. Changes: changed Qt #includes to the long names introduced in Qt 1.40, eliminated some harmless warnings, made ttystr.[Ch] (hopefully) glibc2.1-aware and made CMDLINE filter out nonprintable (control) characters.

About: Ecartis (fomerly known as Listar) is a mailing list management program. It has a lot of similarities to Listserv (which was one of its inspirations), but has been written from scratch to support the features and abilities that the authors felt were lacking (or hard to modify/change) in some of the other list management programs available. Its main flexibility is that it is written around a plugin layer (similar to Apache), which allows you to customize and extend the manager in ways that otherwise would be hard. Changes: CVS accessible, lots of bugfixes/enhancements, unsupported, but available WIN32 port, basic administrivia module.
About: The console-tools package allows you to set-up and manipulate the Linux console (ie. text screen and keyboard), and manipulate console-font files.

About: FFTW is a fast C FFT library. It includes complex, real, symmetric, multidimensional, and parallel transforms, and can handle arbitrary array sizes efficiently.It is typically faster than other freely available FFT implementations, and is even competitive with vendor-tuned libraries (benchmarks are available at the homepage). To achieve this performance, it uses novel code generation and runtime self optimization techniques (along with many other tricks). Changes: Many improvements in parallel transforms, plus bugfixes. Support for parallel real-complex, complex, plus shared-memory threads and MPI.
About: mail2sms converts a (MIME) mail to a short message, allowing search/replace, conditional rules, date/time dependent actions, customizing the output format, etc. The output defaults to 160 characters, which is perfectly suitable for sending the text to a GSM telephone as an SMS message. This software does not include any code for actually sending the text to anything else but another program or stdout. Changes: New variable in output and options, better header de-miming, removed possible buffer overflow, now allows better/easier debugging of replace regexes, "always" and "never" work better in date expressions.
About: Hypermail 2 is a much enhanced version of the popular tool that converts mails into nicely formatted HTML pages. Version 2 has a lot of new features including MIME support.
