Changes: Includes now rpm packages (sources and installation). Added doc in German. Bugs fixes and small improvements.
About: Voyager Application Server 3.1 (VAS) offers Voyager(TM) users the means to build scalable, secure, distributed, transaction-oriented applications. Because VAS embraces the standard Java server component model, Enterprise JavaBeans, application developers will have access to the burgeoning market of off-the-shelf server- side application components. VAS also allows application developers to concentrate on business logic, not infrastructure. The details of transactions, security, threading, and distribution are handled transparently. VAS's advanced graphical tools greatly simplify application deployment, management and monitoring. And VAS is the only application server that has a universal container. Changes: New features include load balancing, replicated directory, DCOM, dynamic XML and LDAP integration.

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: Restored HTTP/FTP protocol handling, added accelerator in Edition window (hit Escape to jump to the next field), and updated SGML DocBook generation.
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: This version fixes a nasty priority queue related bug and provides a few cleanups and minor enhancements.
About: The Security Auditor's Research Assistant (SARA) is a third-generation security analysis tool that is based on the SATAN model. It is fostering a collaborative environment and is updated periodically to address latest threats. Changes: Added several new tutorials to SARA as well as as detection of a possible vulnerabilitity in the calendar manager (rpc.cmsd).
About: Blackjack is the only game offered by casinos, where it is proven that players can beat the dealer on the long term. Many books and articles have been published about this theme, however most of them are written to make you loose money. The only way of having a moderate advantage over the dealer is to carefully analyze the remaining cards in the shoe, placing variable bets and deciding when to stay or buy, double or split. BBJD is a tool to analyze the best strategy depending on the current card distribution in the shoe. It is distributed to work with a simple text-based interface and with a user-friendly web-based interface. Changes: Added web based interface.
About: gtk-engines-extra contains extra themes and engines for the GTK toolkit, taken from gtk.themes.org. It is designed to complement the standard GNOME package gtk-engines. Changes: This is the first attempt to make a package.

All window decorations are configurable and all user-interface policy is controlled through the language. Its aim is to manage windows in the most flexible and attractive manner possible. As such it does not implement desktop backgrounds, application docks, or other things that may be achieved through separate applications. Sawfish is mostly GNOME-compliant; almost all configuration may be made through a graphical interface. Changes: Many changes (e.g. gradient and GTK-style themes, better theme organisation, better window-resize behaviour, window layers, highlighted frame part property, better button click behaviour, and many bug fixes.
About: ICU provides a Unicode implementation, with functions for formatting numbers, dates, times, and currencies (according to locale conventions, transliteration, and parsing text in those formats). It provides flexible patterns for formatting messages, where the pattern determines the order of the variable parts of the messages, and the format for each of those variables. These patterns can be stored in resource files for translation to different languages. Included are more than 100 codepage converters for interaction with non-unicode systems. Changes: Bug fixes and more code pages.
About: The Gnome Display Manager is a reimplementation of the well known xdm program. GDM consists of a daemon and a graphical login application which runs as an unpriviledged user. The login GUI features a face browser, an optional logo, and language/session type selection support. The daemon includes an XDMCP implementation for managing remote displays. Access control relies on TCPWrappers and PAM. Changes: Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the GDM package.
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: Now the TreeView is fully functional, and there are some new features and icons too.
About: kmc_utils is a small package of utilities for downloading images off of and controlling Monochrome and Color Kodak Motion Corder Analyzer fast digital cameras (up to 10000fps). It currently consists of libraries for accessing images on the camera and controlling the camera and two command line programs implementing these functions. Development on GUIs is in progress. Changes: Several bug fixes, autodetection of ROM version and correction for older ROMs, PAL video playback mode support, new time lapse recording in random trigger mode.
About: Apsfilter is a magic printfilter, allowing you to print different document types "automagically" without having to convert them manually into something which is understood by your printer. Apsfilter is a mature and powerful printing solution for any flavor of Unix running lpd or LPRng. It supports the latest GhostScript version and 3rd-party printer drivers (such as hpijs, ijs, hpdj, pcl3, and gimp-print). It autodetects lots of file, archive, and compression types. It supports printing on local as well as on Appletalk, Unix, and Windows remote printers. General and "per printer-queue" based config files allow you to configure the printer for your needs. The lpr command line options allow you to change printing parameters like print quality, orientation, duplex mode, etc. "on the fly" without having to edit any config file. A SETUP script helps you to test various supported ghostscript drivers prior installation, makes the necessary entries in /etc/printcap, creates spool directories, and creates apsfilter default config files as needed. A handbook in HTML is available. Several tools are also included: "aps2file" allows you to print to a file via apsfilter, "apspreview" previews files as generated by apsfilter using gv and friends, and "apsfilter-bug" assists you in doing bug and problem reports.
About: EasyStat is a real time tracking and reporting system that generates customized statistical reports in multiple languages.
