About: AfterStep is a Window Manager for X which started by emulating the NeXTSTEP look and feel, but which has been significantly altered according to the requests of various users. Many adepts will tell you that NeXTSTEP is not only the most visually pleasant interface, but also one of the most functional and intuitive out there. AfterStep aims to incorporate the advantages of the NeXTSTEP interface, and add additional useful features. Changes: A new development snapshot release with some new features and several bug fixes.
About: The Date::Pcalc Perl module is a direct translation of Steffen Beyer's excellent Date::Calc module from a combination of C and Perl to Perl only. The Perl module does all kinds of date calculations based on the Gregorian calendar (the one used in all western countries today), thereby complying with all relevant norms and standards: ISO/R 2015-1971, DIN 1355 and, to some extent, ISO 8601 (where applicable).
About: GNU Portable Threads (Pth) is a very portable POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix platforms providing non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multiple threads of execution ("multithreading") inside server applications. All threads run in the same address space, but each thread has its own individual program-counter, run-time stack, signal mask and errno variable. The scheduling is done in a cooperative way, i.e. the threads are dispatched based on priority and pending events. The event facility allows threads to wait until various types of events occur, including pending I/O on filedescriptors, elapsed timers, pending I/O on message ports, thread and process termination, and even customized callback functions. Changes: Some cleanups and important enhancements related to the stack growth direction.
About: GNU `tar' saves many files together into a single tape or disk archive, and can restore individual files from the archive. It includes multivolume support, the ability to archive sparse files, automatic archive compression/decompression, remote archives and special features that allow `tar' to be used for incremental and full backups. It also includes `rmt', the remote tape server (the `mt' tape drive control program is in GNU `cpio'). Changes: Various bugfixes.
About: PHPezmlmAdmin is a set of php3 and html web pages that makes administration of ezmlm mailing lists easy. It works well with current ezmlm-idx patches.
About: Kticker is a news ticker widget that downloads news headlines from selected sites (e.g. BBC, SlashDot, freshmeat) and displays them on the screen periodically. Kticker is part of the KDE project. Changes: Two new News sites added, thanks to Marc Waeckerlin - Heise and Tages Anzeiger. Also several bugs fixed, including the url fetching for the BBC and SlashDot.
About: The SINUS Firewall is a TCP/IP packet filter for Linux. Some of its features are stateful inspection of TCP communications, text-based configuration, graphical management interface for configuration of several firewalls, dynamic rules, prevention of packet and address spoofing, extensive logging, alerting, and counter intelligence. Changes: This version finally support kernel 2.2.x.
About: gPS (graphical Process Statistics) is a system information applet based on GTK+. It displays the processes of one or more computers (like ps or top), allows killing, renicing, and signal sending, shows lots of details on selected processes, shows CPU/Memory usage and history graphs, and is capable of watching networked computers in addition to the local one. It also provides an easy way to send signals to processes based on their owners (uid), groups (gid), and string matching. Changes: Added process details dialog, fixed previous scrolling bugs.
About: acmemail is a multiuser IMAP/POP3 to Web gateway (or webmail program). It reads mail from a mail server and displays it using HTML on a web server.

Changes: Replying now works properly, amongst many other bugfixes.
About: TT-News (Tick Tick-News) is a news-ticker, written in QT. Besides the normal features, it can display an article-summary and a window with all the current news. The news can be fetched from various sources as long as they provide an RSS version of their news stories. TT-News uses skins, so its look can therefore be changed easily. Screenshots available on the homepage. Changes: More than one news-file is allowed now, the program now works better with other window-positions than lower right, keyboard shortcuts are implemented as well as various minor changes.
About: Mozilla is a project to continue Netscape Navigator/Communicator as an open project. The project was founded and staffed by Netscape, and has now contributors from other companies as well as volunteers. The Netscape 6 and original Mozilla browser and email client is called Seamonkey. Mozilla is also the basis of Firefox and Thunderbird, thus Seamonkey shares 90% of its code with them. Changes: New networking library (Necko). Read the changelog for additional details and build instructions.
About: GTK, which stands for the Gimp ToolKit, is a library for creating graphical user interfaces. It is designed to be small and efficient, but still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces created. GTK provides some unique features over standard widget libraries. Changes: DnD improvements (drags can be canceled with Esc now), suppressed configure event reordering in Gdk, rewrite of Gtk's configure event handling, major improvements for the object argument system, major bugfixes for threading, GtkNotebook, GtkItemFactory, GtkCList and GTKCTree, tutorial/FAQ updates, new file generation.txt on autogenerated sources, configure's --with-glib= is "officially" unsupported, upgraded to libtool 1.3.3 and various buglets fixed.
About: GLib is a library containing many useful C routines for things such as trees, hashes, and lists. GLib was previously distributed with the GTK toolkit, but has been split off as of the developers' version 1.1.0. Changes: Upgraded to libtool 1.3.3 and minor portability 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 is a maintainance version providing mainly cleanups.
About: PerLDAP is a set of modules written in Perl and C that allow developers to leverage their existing Perl knowledge to easily access and manage LDAP-enabled directories. PerLDAP makes it very easy to search, add, delete, and modify directory entries. For example, Perl developers can easily build web applications to access information stored in a directory or create directory sync tools between directories and other services. PerLDAP is OpenSource, part of the Mozilla project. Changes: Many bug-fixes, removed a number of memory leaks, ported and tested with ActiveState Perl, added some new methods to OO layer, and a complete rewrite of LDIF.pm.
About: Vacation is an e-mail auto-responder loosely based on the original by Larry Wall and Tom Christiansen. It is designed to emulate most vacation clones and specifically, the early Solaris version. Changes: Fixed a typo which precluded the -j option from working and finally replicated and fixed a long-standing security glitch with sendmail.
About: Blackbox is yet another addition to the list of window managers for X. It is written in C++, sharing no common code with any other window manager (even though the graphics implementation is similar to that of WindowMaker). It features small code size, a fast interface with simple menus, multiple workspaces, decorated windows, built-in graphics code to render solids, gradients, and bevels on the fly, and more.
About: The LinuxClassLibrary is a growing set of classes which everyone needs every day, that runs on all types of *nix and also on Win32. Currently it is a library that works in the background (non GUI). Current features are character handling, file descriptors (sockets, file, etc.), a database system (like the Perl DBI), an event system, template collection classes (set, heap, hash, etc.), IPC, protocols, plug-ins, and images. Changes: This is the initial release.

About: Paloma is a program to manage an SQL database of digital music files, and facilitate their retrieval and playback in interesting ways. It works with music files of any form -- MP3, Ogg Vorbis, MIDI... whatever you've got a player for. Paloma makes it easy to rip your entire CD collection and store it on your hard disk (or a collection of CD-Rs) for instant random access; playlists can then be generated using arbitrary SQL commands. Changes: More compilation fixes for various systems as well as a work around for a bug in Gtk-- 1.0.2.
About: wxWidgets is a cross-platform C++ GUI library, offering classes for all common GUI controls as well as a comprehensive set of helper classes for most common application tasks, ranging from networking to HTML display and image manipulation. wxWidgets uses native widgets on all platforms whenever possible and fills missing gaps on some platforms using generic controls written with wxWidgets itself. Changes: New layout system similar to the one from GTK or Qt, rewritten most common dialogs, now comes with wxMultiMedia (classes to play all sorts of sound files and display a video in a window using xanim), synchronous snapshot of Win32 port available as well as updated documentation (also on-line). Many other improvements.
About: GNU Zebra manages IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols. It supports BGP-4 protocol as described in RFC1771 (A Border Gateway Protocol 4) and BGP-4+, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.
