About: Linux Logo is a small utility that displays an ANSI or ASCII logo of the Linux penguin, along with some sytem information. Instructions are included on how to add it to rc.scripts to have the logo displayed on login. Changes: This release includes the new "-F" fancy formatting of sysinfo updates, MIPS Linux and improved m68k support, plus new Megahertz rounding to give proper clock-speeds.
About: Grail is an extensible Internet browser written entirely in the interpreted object-oriented programming language Python. It runs on Unix, and, to some extent, on Windows and Macintosh. Grail is easily extended to support other new protocols or file formats. Grail is distributed in source form, free of change, without warranties. It requires recent versions of Python and Tcl/Tk to run. Changes: Improvements to the bookmark facility, other minor changes and fixes. The largest change is to a new licence that allows derivative projects to pick up where we left off. This is the final CNRI release of Grail. Further development will have to be carried out by the user community.
About: Calamaris parses the logfiles of a wide variety of Web proxy servers and generates reports about peak-usage, request-methods, status-report of incoming and outgoing requests, second and top-level destinations, content-types, and performance. Changes: Bugfixes.
About: wmx is a window manager based on wm2. It retains a similar look-and-feel, but provides an experimental vehicle for features that fall comfortably outside the scope of the original wm2. Changes: New development version with bugfixes and first appearance of autoconf.
About: WebEvent is a commercial Web calendar and scheduling program written in Perl. It features multiple calendar views and formats, repeating events, email reminders, public event submissions, meta-calendars, event change notifications, searchable calendars, and user authentication. Changes: Released MacOS X Server version and fixed bug in caloptions that displayed multiple instances of the same user.
About: ya-wipe is a tool that effectively degausses the surface of a hard disk, making it virtually impossible to retrieve the data that was stored on it. This tool is designed to make sure that sensitive data is completely erased from magnetic media. Changes: Fixed a bug in the dirent scan algorithm which would skip files starting with ".".
About: BootLogo is a messagefile generator for LILO(-colors). It supports both normal and the colored version (by Ron Bessems) of LILO. Changes: First release.
About: TinyMARE (Multi-user Adventure Roleplaying Epic) is a text-based MUD server completely rewritten for efficiency using TinyMUSH and TinyMUSE as a basis for its game engine. The server is designed for creating an extensive, novelistic role-playing atmosphere supporting real-time combat, day & night, seasons, and global weather. Using a telnet client, players can log on to explore a virtual world, find magical items, learn skills and techniques, and group together to surpass obstacles you create in your own epic adventure. Changes: This alpha release version of TinyMARE is intended as a drop-in bugfix replacement/enhancement of TinyMUSE and contains no combat code. Combat is still in the design stage, however this server will allow users to begin creating a virtual world.
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: Eliminated a potentially troublesome malloc(0) and eliminated the cause of some (harmless) egcs warnings.
About: SmartPlay is a Perl/GTK-based mpg123 frontend with a pseudo-artificial intelligence. Its user interface is very efficent, and it tries to learn from your past listening patterns in order to predict what you want to hear. Both the user interface and AI are designed to minimize the amount of time you spend skipping songs you are not in the mood to hear. Changes: First release.
About: Perl is a high-level, general-purpose programming language that makes easy things easy and hard things possible. It is optimized for scanning arbitrary text files and system administration. It has built-in extended regular expression matching and replacement, a dataflow mechanism to improve security with setuid scripts and is extensible via modules that can interface to C libraries. Changes: This release contains fixes, including a security fix for suid scripts, module updates, new tutorials and support for more platforms.
About: Siag Office is a free office package which consists of the spreadsheet Siag, the word processor PW, the animation program Egon, the text editor XedPlus, the file manager Xfiler and the previewer Gvu. Siag is easy to use, yet infinitely flexible through multiple embedded interpreters and a plugin mechanism that allows other programs to run inside the main document. The supported interpreters are SIOD, Guile, Tcl, and Python. Changes: Dates can be entered as such, many custom widgets replaced by a general purpose layout widget, incorporated Frame and Tabs widgets, close option on File menu to close buffers, by default ask if a a buffer should be saved, bug fixes on the web page and documentation and URL on Help menu updated to point at new site.
About: GTetrinet is a clone of the popular Windows game Tetrinet. It is written for Gtk/GNOME, and is designed to be fully compatible with the original Tetrinet, as well as being identical in gameplay. Changes: Fixes to gameplay and various other bug fixes and tweaks as well as the addition of a preferences dialog.
About: XGGI is a partly accelerated and fully multihead-capable X server which uses LibGGI to do hardware-independent graphics and input. It supports 8, 15, 16, 24, and 32 bit modes on any LibGGI target that has a pixellinear DirectBuffer, and should run in any resolution the target can support. XGGI has been successfully tested on the X, fbdev, svga, DGA, lcd823, and tile targets. Changes: Multihead support, updated for LibGGI 2.0beta2 (required now), support for killing the server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, accelerated rectangle fills using ggiDrawBox(), server now has a working default keymap, server is not halted and screen contents are not lost on VT switches, license is now MIT-style, cleaner diff against XFree sources, and building on non-Linux platforms should now work.
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 is the "brown paper bag" release. It fixes a major bug in the console that could affect Windows systems. Also, a minor change was made to the syntax colorizing API. If you're not using jEdit on Windows, this update probably isn't necessary.
About: PyGCS is a very stripped down MUD-like chat-server written entirely in Python. It has a single "room" and no large database to keep in memory and on disk. PyGCS has no embedded programming language. PyGCS is ideally meant to be a small multi-user real-time chat system for people who have a need to talk to more than one person at a time online. It fits somewhere in between the setup IRC uses (no walking between rooms so to speak) and the MUCK/MUSH/MOO style of server. Changes: First version announced here.
About: Pinfo is a hypertext info file viewer with a user interface similar to lynx. It is based on curses/ncurses, and can handle info pages as well as man pages. It also features regexp searching and user-defined colors/keys. Changes: Added support for infos without tag table, modified man page and use of readline lib. It doesn't require ltermcap anymore, and does not need to close curses screen, added support for resizing screen 'on the fly', support for ncurses mouse, recreated mechanism of opening info file, added support for cutting off manual headers and some nodeposition informations in status bar.
