Virtual X68000 is written in C++, and uses templates to implement instruction handlers. Changes: Condition code changes are implemented for some common instructions.
About: XScreenSaver is the standard screen saver collection shipped on most Linux and Unix systems running the X11 Window System. These screen savers also work on Mac OS (X11 is not required). More than 200 screen savers are included. Changes: Added new demos "webcollage" and "petri", and made it possible to use the "vidwhacker" demo in a pipeline.
About: Libglade is a small library that allows a program to load its user interface from an XML description at runtime. The XML file format is that of the user interface builder GLADE, so libglade acts as an alternative to GLADE's code generation approach. Libglade also provides a simple interface for connecting handlers to the various signals in the interface (on platforms where the gmodule library works correctly, it is possible to connect all the handlers with a single function call). Once the interface has been instantiated, libglade gives no overhead, so other than the initial interface loading time (which is short), there is no performance tradeoff. Changes: This release starts to add GNOME support, added i18n support, fixes the support for toolbars and standard dialogs, and fixes a number of other bugs.
About: Spruce is an X11 email client written in GTK+. It is geared towards being small and fast, supporting all the common features that users want or need without sacrificing usability or functionality.

Changes: Upgraded to Kernel 2.2.10 with support for nearly all common NICs, a smaller, modularized initial ramdisk, initialization scripts reside on floppy (not in initrd) for easier customization and development, fast, remote package loading using wget, binary compatibility with RedHat 5.2, Updated versions versions of tools such as nmap, ntop, and iptraf, and added new tools such as ipchains, cgichk, hping, and mns.
About: Pre_Html is a very simple HTML preprocessor written in Perl. It supports two "tags". One for including other files, and one for inserting the last modification date. Changes: Pre_Html will correctly make new (html) files (thanks to Robert MacDonald).
About: libdatablk is a MOO-like type library for C. It is being developed for use in a MOO-like server, but may have other, useful applications. Basically it allows a variable to contain either a string, number or list (or one of several MOO-like values, errors, object references). Changes: Lists now work. Most everything should work now, and the library is usable.
About: Xfce is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure environment for X11 based on GTK2. A priority is adherence to standards, specifically those defined at freedesktop.org.

SplitFire also contains configurable statusbar colors and several color schemes. Script is also a DICT dictionary client and can access altavista's babelfish. Changes: Minor bugfixes. This will probably be the last version of SplitFire that is compatible with EPIC3. A version that is only compatible with EPIC4 will be developed as soon as possible. The author requests that any known bugs be reported before the new development version is started.
About: gd is a library for creating and reading PNG, JPEG, GIF, WBMP, and XPM images. It has many features and can be used in scripts (e.g. PHP, Perl, Ruby, Lua, and Python) for dynamic image generation. PHP users should note that PHP 4.3.x includes its own distribution of gd, which is currently the best choice for PHP applications.
About: X-Chat is a fully-featured graphical IRC client using the GTK toolkit. Optionally it can be compiled to use GNOME and Perl scripting. Changes: There were alot of typos, color-code-stuffups, spelling mistakes, too many spaces, not enough spaces etc. in 0.9.8. You may want to delete ~/.xchat/printevents.conf before loading this one (that way it'll revert to the new defaults).
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.

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: More "Success" error messages removed, other minor bugs fixed, and some small reorganization
About: XKeyCaps is a graphical front-end to xmodmap. It displays a keyboard and lets you remap keys using dialog boxes, rather than having to learn the arcane syntax used by the xmodmap command. Changes: This version includes the usual batch of new keyboard definitions. But more notably, the keymap handling has been cleaned up: a number of redundant and misnamed keymaps have been consolidated.
