About: The console-tools package allows you to set-up and manipulate the Linux console (ie. text screen and keyboard), and manipulate console-font files. It was developed from version 0.94 of the standard `kbd' package, and integrates many fixes and enhancements, including new kbd features up to 0.99. Changes: This release is a bugfix release for 0.2.1, and additionnally includes russian and german messages.
About: IglooFTP PRO is the commercial version of IglooFTP, an award winning FTP Client. Its main features are to be easy to use and intuitive when used by novice, but powerful and fully configurable in the hand of experienced users. IglooFTP PRO makes full usage of the GTK+ library and offers much more features than any other graphical client available on Unix based systems including FXP transfers, extensed Firewall support, Drag&Drop, URL clipboard monitoring, Remote Directory Caching, and much, much more. Changes: Added GTK+ 1.2.4 support, and various bug fixes.
About: speechd implements a /dev/speech device using either the Festival or rsynth speech synthesis packages. All plaintext written to this device will be spoken aloud (or optionally output as morse code if you are using the "morse" program as the underlying driver). Certain programs have been modified to make use of this device, including an ircII script called speech.irc, a Slashdot ticker called slashes and a package for TiK. All of these modified packages are available on the homepage. Changes: Unbroke catspeech, which is needed by speech.irc. Also prints number of configured string substitutions on startup.
About: Omega is an Open Source implementation of the M-Technology (MUMPS) programming language. It is extendable, and currently embedded with MySQL; it is ideal as a trigger/validation frontend to SQL. Changes: This version fixes quite a few bugs from previous versions, and also adds the NEW and BREAK statements, a tiny sample routine, and the ability to call subroutines passing in variables.
About: CYCAS is a 2D+3D CAD package for drafting and design in high quality and for creating 3D presentations and technical illustrations easily. Some of its features include an easy-to-handle user interface, special architectural elements and functions, a WYSIWYG display, printing, plotting, import and export filters, photorealistic rendering with POV-Ray, documentation and tutorials, example drawings, and an extendable 2D/3D symbols library. Changes: Enhanced DXF import/export, enhanced printing, HPGL2, many improvements and bug fixes.
About: BibleTime is a Bible study tool with versions for KDE 3.x. It is based on the Sword library, which provides the functions to access modules like bibles, lexicons, books, and commentaries. BibleTime provides an easy-to-use but powerful interface. Changes: First release featuring a bookmarkmanager, notes editor, printing support, text displayed as HTML, handling of different types of texts (bibles/dictionaries/commentaries), easy to use interface and much more.
About: AsciiArtWidget creates and handles a widget with bindings appropriate for easy creation of ascii art. Basically it is a text widget filled with spaces and newlines, and character inserts replace a space, and backspace/delete replace characters with spaces so that the right hand side of the image is always in the right spot. Includes a mouse drag painting binding, and block sleection/delete, as well as a data loading and squaring system.
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: This release fixes a number of networking bugs, some localization problems, and a problem with the image file RIP. This is a release candidate for 1.0.
About: Randtype is a small utility to read either standard input or text files and display the output, character-by-character or line-by-line, at random intervals. The randomness can be refined on the command line. Changes: Added command line option to wait on lines instead of characters.
About: Pybliographer is a tool for managing bibliographic databases. It supports several bibliography formats (BibTeX, Refer, Medline, ISI, Ovid) and can be used for searching, editing, reformatting, etc, through its nice graphical interface for GNOME. Due to its nature, it can be extended to many uses (generating HTML pages according to bibliographic searches, etc). It is provided with sample scripts. Changes: Fixed a bug causing core dumps on some author entries, corrected @string entry syntax, possibility to sort also according to the entry key and additional configuration tests.
About: CircleMUD is a multi-user dungeon game system (MUD). It is a derivative of DikuMUD Gamma 0.0. A MUD (Multiple User Dimension or Multiple User Dungeon) is a computer program which allows Internet users from around the world to connect to it, create fictional characters for themselves, and then interact with other real users as well as computer-generated entities in a virtual environment. Changes: Numerous cleanups and optimizations. Consult the bottom of the ChangeLog for complete details.
About: alarm applet is a GNOME panel applet that provides a way of either alerting the user that a particular time has arrived, or it can be used to run a command at a specified time. Think of it as an alarm clock for your desktop. Changes: The applet now handles the panel orientation properly. The applet size can also be reduced to take up less room on the panel and a few UI consistancy changes.
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: Most of the GUI code has been rewritten/restructured so that terraform now has multi-window GUI (like the GIMP). A few other minor things have been either fixed or added. See the Changelog for details.
About: pydf displays the amount of used and available space on your filesystems, just like df, but in colours. The output format is completely customizable. Changes: Network filesystems with block size 0 recognized correctly and added a workaround for older python versions without os.statvfs function.
About: statfs displays information about filesystem, as given by the statfs(2) library call. Changes: Initial release.
About: GProc is a GTK application which allows you to manage your running processes with only a few mouse clicks. It is very configurable and uses skins for better integration with your desktop. Changes: More functions in the treeview and some UI improvements.
About: The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. It provides client accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to a primary server synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via a Global Positioning Service (GPS) receiver, for example. Changes: Cleaned up previous NeXT patch, permit RTS to power a DCF77, made the Oncore run on systems without hardpps().
About: Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) is a network protocol analyzer, or "packet sniffer", that lets you capture and interactively browse the contents of network frames. The goal of the project is to create a commercial-quality packet analyzer for Unix, and the most useful packet analyzer on any platform. Changes: Color routines have been added (you can change the color of the packet summary information using the same syntax used for display filters), the decoders for RSVP, NBNS, Token-Ring, ICMP, and IGMP have been updated, initial support for ATM decoding has been added, a security-related race condition when capturing packets has been removed and many changes to enhance usability have also been made.
About: ANGIF is a C library to generate GIF format output. It can generate animated GIFs or true-color (24-bit) GIFs (using both at the same time, however, does not display properly on common browsers). ANGIF is completely LZW-free. There is no code implementing the patented LZW algorithm. That also means there is no compression and the files will actually be larger than a raw file with the same image by about 13% to 16% more. Command line level test programs are included. This is a quick rough-cut beta version with documentation only in the source code (the source code actually is commented). Changes: This is the first rough beta release.
About: Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a utility for network exploration, administration, and security auditing. It uses IP packets in novel ways to determine which hosts are available online (host discovery), which TCP/UDP ports are open (port scanning), and what applications and services are listening on each port (version detection). It can also identify remote host OS and device types via TCP/IP fingerprinting. Nmap offers flexible target and port specifications, decoy/stealth scanning for firewall and IDS evasion, and highly optimized timing algorithms for fast scanning. Changes: Direct sunRPC scanning which allows you to retrive prog/version/port numbers even when portmapper is behind a firewall. Version 2.3BETA4 also has tons of new operating system identification fingerprints, several bugfixes and optimization tweaks.
About: eBison generates Elisp parser functions from Bison input files. It parses the Bison output at byte-compilation time. The resulting .elc files don't depend on the Bison data file any more. This was intended to be the first phase of adding Javascript support to Emacs-W3. Changes: This release is identical to the Feb 20 1998 copy from the emacs-w3 mailing list. It's being released to a wider audience in the hopes that someone is interested in the remaining the next step, implementing the JavaScript object model. As a generic parser generator it could be useful for other purposes as well.
About: Bidwatcher is a tool for eBay users that tracks your current bids and listings and has an integrated snipe tool. You can run bidwatcher in the background and it periodically checks your auctions status, and executes any bids that are scheduled. Changes: Version 0.9.9-3 sports more new features and a big improvement on snipe reliability, see the CHANGES file for details.
About: The mgetty package contains an intelligent getty for allowing logins over a serial line (such as through a modem) and receiving incoming faxes. The companion program sendfax is used for sending faxes from the commandline or from other applications. The third main component is vgetty/vm which can be used with a voice-capable modem to implement an answering machine, a voice menu system, and similar things. Changes: Various bugfixes.
About: The Geek Code Generator will generate a geek code block for you by asking you a series of questions about yourself. The generated code can be pasted into your .sig or anywhere else you would like to display your geekiness. Changes: Fixed endless loop bug, added Win32-specific screen clearing code and fixed more typos.
About: gEDA is a suite of electronic design automation (EDA) tools. Currently, the project offers a mature suite of free software applications for electronics design, including schematic capture, attribute management, bill of materials (BOM) generation, netlisting into over 20 netlist formats, analog and digital simulation, and printed circuit board (PCB) layout. Changes: This is another release in the development snapshot series. All the various tools which are part of the gEDA tarball have been split into seperate tarballs since the last stable release. Checkout the announcement on the webpage for details on the many changes since the last release.
About: GNU Make examines the timestamps on a set of interdependent files, and, if necessary, issues commands to bring them up-to-date. The user creates a makefile describing the files, their relationships, and the commands to run. Most often make is used to rebuild libraries and programs when their sources are changed, but it can be used for any situation where one set of files needs to be generated from another set. Changes: $(if ...) function added/updated, some algorothim changes, documentation updates and several bug fixes.
About: OpenVerse is similar to other graphical chat systems like Excite Chat and Microsoft Chat, with the main differences being that OpenVerse is open source software, has no advertisements, and also runs on a variety of systems including Windows, Unix, Macintosh, and just about anything else for which you can find a copy of TCL/TK. Changes: Initial beta release.
About: PStill is a PostScript-to-PDF converter featuring Type 1 font embedding, PDF-1.2 compatible compression, and more. Changes: Fixed a memory leak in the 'pstill -I' mode. The memory footprint is now much smaller than before.
About: MToolsFM (formerly mfm) is a GUI frontend for mtools. It should make access to floppies a lot easier for beginners. It has the basic functionality of a file manager. Changes: Confirmation when deleting files added as well as various bugfixes.
About: The Linux Console Data package contains all data files (keymaps, fonts, misc tables) that used to be part of the Linux Console Tools. Changes: The usual bunch of fixes, a few new files.
