About: MySQL is a widely used and fast SQL database server. It is a client/server implementation that consists of a server daemon (mysqld) and many different client programs/libraries.
About: GNU libtool is a generic library support script. Libtool hides the complexity of using shared and static libraries behind a consistent, portable interface.

Changes: This version allows one to: generate Java code for all platforms including Sun Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, Windows, SGI IRIX, IBM AIX; construct fast and powerful GUI without edit-compile-run; use any JDK to stay current with Java technology; and mix Java with other programming languages.
About: Terraform allows you to create fractal terrain (also called a height field) and transform it using a number of algorithms. It is meant to be a tool for those who want to generate digital terrain models for use in raytracing or other simulations. Terraform features different views and colormaps and has a preview mode which features interactive real-time rotation of the terrain object. Terraform is written for the GNOME desktop environment. Changes: Added crater code, various fixes and internal code changes.
About: Wine is an implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. It does not require Microsoft Windows, but can use native Windows DLLs if they are available. It provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes.
About: asmutils is a set of miscellaneous utilities written in assembly language, targeted on embedded systems and small distributions (e.g. installation or rescue disks). It also contains a small libc and a crypto library. It is optimized for size, memory usage, and speed, and offers fairly good functionality. The project supports Linux and the BSD family. Unixware, Solaris, and AtheOS support is in beta stage. This package also aims to provide a portable development framework, and to encourage assembly programmers to write for Linux/Unix. Changes: New utilities added: mount/umount, softdog, swapon/swapoff, reboot/halt/poweroff, tee, arch, kill. All found bugs have been fixed. More documentation has been added.

About: Starmap reads in the Gliese near star catalog and Yale bright star catalog, computes star positions, and shows an overhead 3-D view of nearby stars, letting you navigate through the 80 light years the Gliese data spans using the arrow keys. More features are planned. Astronomy-interested developers are welcome. Changes: Now uses galactic coordinates, shows star info when you point at it, can calculate distance between stars, also loads Bright Star Catalog, extracting non-catalog names (like Sirius) out of it.

Please note that any commercial use (including distributing the LAME encoding engine in a free encoder) may require a patent license from Thomson Multimedia. Changes: Variable bit rate support (optional) with Xing VBR headers, MPEG2 layer III (allows lower bitrates/sampling frequencies), support for libsoundfile, improved bit allocation routines, jstereo switching criterion as well as other tunings and many bug fixes.
About: PIKT is cross-categorical, multi-purpose software for monitoring and configuring computer systems, administering networks, organizing system security, and much more. PIKT is intended primarily for system monitoring, and secondarily for configuration management, but its versatility and extensibility evoke many other wide-ranging uses. PIKT consists of a sophisticated, feature-rich file preprocessor; an innovative scripting language with unique labor-saving features; a flexible, centrally directed process scheduler; a customizing file installer; a collection of powerful command-line extensions; and other useful tools. Changes: Added a new piktc option for remote execution of command-line commands, added a new piktc option for executing PIKT scripts remotely but without waiting for any response from the client(s), allowed for partial configurations with less than the eight basic config file types, from now on only systems.cfg is absolutely required (the rest is optional), added a new PIKT.conf setting to control logging verbosity. The new +C option especially needs further testing. Comments/criticisms are welcome.
