About: climm (CLI-based Multi-Messenger) is a portable, small, yet powerful console-based ICQ and XMPP client. It supports password changing, auto-away, creation of new accounts, and other features that makes it a very complete yet simple client. It is able to send and receive messages from the ICQ network, list users that are offline and online (including their online status), search for users by email address, and look up basic (name, UIN, email) information. climm was formerly known as mICQ.
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.
About: CUPS provides a portable printing layer for Unix(r)-based operating systems. It has been developed to promote a standard printing solution for all Unix vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command line interfaces, and uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) Server Message Block (SMB), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect) protocols are also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing options to support real world printing under UNIX. It includes an image file RIP that supports printing of image files to non-PostScript printers. A customized version of GNU Ghostscript 7.05 for CUPS called ESP Ghostscript is available separately to support printing of PostScript files within the CUPS driver framework. Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON, HP, and OKIDATA printers are included that use these filters. Changes: All remote administration is now implemented, JPEG/ZLIB dependencies in pstoraster are now a define, the lpadmin command is implemented, the authorization code now works when shadow passwords are available but not enabled, added the HP sample drivers & PPD files, added the pstoraster font files, lots of new documentation.
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: A new version (0.6) of the description file builder, a Spanish translation and the usual bug fixes.
About: OSSP mm is a 2-layer abstraction library which simplifies the usage of shared memory between related processed under Unix platforms. It both hides all platform dependent implementation details (allocation, locking, etc.) when dealing with shared memory segments and provides a high-level malloc-style API for a convenient way to work with data-structures inside those shared memory segments. Changes: This fixes the long-standing Solaris problems which were caused by broken determination and calculations of the maximum shared memory segment sizes. Now it works fine also under Solaris 2.7 and friends.
About: VM is a mail reader written in Emacs LISP for GNU Emacs and XEmacs. It can retrieve mail from local spool files or remotely via POP and IMAP, display and send MIME messages, thread messages, auto-sort messages into folders, and manipulate "virtual folders" of messages matching certain criteria. In Emacs versions with X support it provides an interface with toolbars, menus, and mouse-based message selection. Changes: Primarily a bugfix release, with some new features in development. Note: The $ d command now deletes MIME parts; $ RET does what $ d used to do.
About: snes9express is a graphical front-end for snes9x, the SNES game console emulator. Changes: This version contains support for some new features of snes9x-1.19, and fixes compile problems that were happening with newer versions of GTK. The profiler now supports some multi-profile operations.
About: tgif is a vector-based drawing tool, with the additional benefit of being sort of a web-browser. That is, you can fetch drawings from a web server with it, and you can make objects in your picture into hotlinks to other parts of the drawing, or to other drawings accessible via HTTP. Changes: Fix a couple of serious bugs with importing EPS files. Add 3 LaTeX equation symbol files: eq4.sym, eq4-2x.sym, and eq4-ps2epsi.sym, in the release to support LaTeX equations better.
About: CGI++ is a macro pre-processor for C++. The macros which it provides facilitate CGI input parsing, HTML generation, HTTP cookies, and database access. The only database currently supported is MySQL. Changes: new macros: SQL_FORM_DB_WRITE, SQL_TABLE_EXPORT; minor bug fixes
About: LPRng is the Next Generation in LPR software. It supports the standard bsd lpr commands and also supports an System V interface. Other features include lightweight lpr, lpc, and lprm programs, dynamic redirection of print queues, automatic job holding, highly verbose diagnostics, multiple printers serving a single queue, client programs do not need to run SUID root, greatly enhanced security checks and a greatly improved permission and authorization mechanism. The default configuration provides a simple BSD LPR interface, but there are options to modify a wide variety of operational facilities. The companion IFHP print filter can interface to a wide variety of printers, from the latest network based high speed to vintage legacy printers. Changes: Load balance queues, dynamic job routing, and remote configuration and managment have been enhanced to allow queues to be assigned classes (forms), and other enterprise level management facilities. Diagnostic and error logging has been greatly enhanced, as well as extending permissions control. Kerberos 4 and 5 are now directly supported. Output, log and accounting files can now be automatically rolled over on a daily basis. A default print queue mechanism has been added to the LPD server, allowing automatic and dynamic routing capability to be incorporated in a simple manner.
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.
About: Gnumeric is a powerful and easy to use spreadsheet using GNOME. Its goal is to provide a full featured spreadsheet and a smooth migration path for people and organizations currently using proprietary applications. It provides more sheet functions and greatly improved accuracy when compared to Microsoft's Excel. A plugin system lets you extend Gnumeric, adding functions, I/O formats, and real time data capabilities. The existing Python, Guile, and Perl plugins let you define complex functions. Gnumeric is capable of reading and writing MS Excel (XLS and Office Open XML), and reading Lotus, Applix, Quattro Pro, OpenCalc (ODF), XBase, DIF, SYLK, HTML, Psion, MPS, oleo, sc, misc. text formats, and its native XML. It can also generate Latex, HTML, and others. Changes: 50+ more functions: most of the Database functions, and majority of engineering ones. Improved Excel import. Stability, speed and memory usage improved.
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: Bugfix release.
About: aumix is a program for adjusting an audio mixer. It can run under X with GTK+, in full-screen text mode with ncurses and (if available) gpm, or non-interactively, and can store all settings in a file. It works with the OSS API. Changes: some tests in configure.in were corrected, a small delay was added to relieve busy waiting seen under Debian "potato", a cast was made to avoid a warning from egcs, error messages no longer proclaim "Success", trying to load a nonexistent settings file in interactive mode no longer causes aumix to crash.
About: Printerspy is a tool to monitor SNMP-capable printers. It displays the contents of the printer's console display, alerts you if the printer jams or goes offline, and graphically displays the amounts of paper in input trays. It even features a simple alarm-clock function. Changes: This is the first public release.
