It translates protocols between clients and servers, converting between IPv4 and IPv6, applying SSL (TLS) to arbitrary protocols, merging several servers into a single server view with aliasing and filtering. It can be used as a simple origin server for some protocols (HTTP, FTP, and NNTP). Changes: Immediate rejection of invalid HTTP methods.
About: UPX is a portable, extendable, high-performance executable packer for several different executable formats. It achieves an excellent compression ratio and offers very fast decompression.

About: PngEncoder is a Java class which takes a Java Image object (based on DirectColorModel) and returns a byte-array in PNG format. This byte-array is suitable for saving as a PNG file or delivery to a client from a servlet. The class optionally encodes alpha information from the Image. PngEncoderB takes a Java BufferedImage object (which may have either a DirectColorModel or IndexColorModel) and returns a byte array in PNG format.. Changes: Addition of "sub" and "up" filters. Documentation moved to a new directory. Test program updated. You can now set compression level for Deflater.
About: VMware allows you to run 'virtual machines' inside a Linux host. It is not an emulator. It provides a virtual computer within the host which can boot whichever OS you decide to put on the filesystem image that is used as a harddrive. It will run DOS 6.22, Win 3.1, Win9x, WinNT/2000/XP/2003, Linux, Novell, and more. The only main requirement is a 400 MHz or better machine, along with lots of RAM (128M minimum, 256M recommended).
About: Arla is a free AFS client and server implementation. The main goal is to make a fully functional client with all capabilities of normal AFS. Other implemented things are all the normal management tools and a server. Changes: Fixes including a bugfix for a leak of fs-context's which caused tokens to be expired, changes to make mount points in a Transarc-compatible way, better error messages in lots of places and the addition of some Transarc-compatible library code. New featues including support for SMP on FreeBSD, beginning of xfs, code for Windows NT and port of LWP to NT native threads, support in ydr for multiple packages in one .xg file and the addition of afsaclmgr, an acl manager written in guile-gtk.

About: Citadel is an advanced messaging and collaboration system for groupware and BBS applications. Users can connect to Citadel using any telnet, WWW, or client software. Among the features supported are public and private message bases (rooms), electronic mail, real-time chat, paging, shared calendaring, address books, mailing lists, and more. Unlike other collaboration servers, Citadel provides its own data stores and is therefore extremely easy to install; you don't have to "bring your own" email and database because they're built in. The server is multithreaded and scalable. In addition, SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 servers are built-in for easy connection to Internet mail. Citadel is both robust and mature; it has been in production since 1987. Changes: Now supports public and private address books using the vCard format. 'Personal' rooms (i.e. private folders) are implemented. Some bug fixes applied. More efficient with memory. Moved to a 'worker thread' server model, now can support hundreds of concurrent users on modest hardware.
About: GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software suitable for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, a image format converter, etc. Changes: Fixes for little problems in the previous release.
About: pam_cucipop is a patch that enables cucipop to use the PAM authentication mechanism. This is not part of the official cucipop release. It also includes a patch to fix an out by one segmentation fault problem. Changes: A segfault patch that fixes a problem with cucipop when a mailbox's message count is a multiple of 16.
About: hd2u is Hany's Dos2Unix convertor, a filter used to convert plain text from the DOS format (CR/LF) to the UNIX format (LF) and vice versa. It can also handle files in the Macintosh format (CR) and convert them into other formats. Changes: Initial public release
About: Linuxconf is a sophisticated administrative tool. It is both an activator and a configurator, and can manage quite a few system tasks. It has some unique features, like configuration versioning and multiple machine management. It supports multiples languages (French, German, Italian, etc.) and can be administered from ncurses (text), Web, command line, or X (GNOME or wxxt) user interfaces. Changes: fixes for control service activity dialog, more command line options for firewall module, managerpm now part of the core distribution, a new module fetchmailconf, use of /proc/partitions for partition probing, interfaces for firewalling on the 2.2 kernel and loopback, IP alias updates, archiving of vdomain config files, and user account creation with private group.
About: GObject Builder (GOB) is a simple preprocessor for easily creating GObjects (glib objects). It reads a class description file with inline C code and produces .c and .h object files for you. It allows you to easily use most of the features of the GObject system and avoids typos by reducing the amount of code needed. In general, the amount of code is about the same as for OO languages such as Java or C++, but you still have to only use C and you get all the power of the GObject system. Changes: An added PARENT_HANDLER macro for overrides and a type macro, a fix for the duplicate symbol checker, and warnings on mismatching signal parameter lists.
About: WCD is a directory changer for DOS and Unix. Another NCD (Norton Change Directory) clone. This program jumps to a (sub)directory anywhere in the directory-tree.

About: mnoGoSearch is a full-featured Web search engine that you can use to build search engines over HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and NTTP servers, local files, and database text fields. It supports many database systems as backends. It has built-in support for XML, HTML, and text, and external converters can be used to support other document types. An automatic language/charset guesser for more 70 language/charset combinations is included, along with cluster support, making it possible to distribute data over multiple computers and index huge collections with up to several hundred million documents. Changes: Several new indexer.conf commands to more easily customize URL limitation control.
About: ZAngband is a single-player rogue-like dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems. Changes: Additional magical figurines and statues, a new trap and a new scroll, some rebalanced monsters, items, and quests, changes to the powers of the Mindcrafter class, extensions of the pet commands, and lots of other changes and bugfixes.
About: The Guava tools are a set of Perl scripts for HTML pre-processing. You can create multi-page documents with contents tables, or use templates to give a consistent look to a set of pages. All output is passed through the C preprocessor, so you can use directives such as #include, #define and #if. There are also built-in macros for producing dates, cross references, etc. Changes: First public release.
About: Libmcrypt is a library which provides a uniform interface to several symmetric encryption algorithms. It is intended to have a simple interface to access encryption algorithms in ofb, cbc, cfb, and ecb modes. The algorithms it supports are DES, 3DES, RIJNDAEL, Twofish, IDEA, GOST, CAST-256, ARCFOUR, SERPENT, SAFER+, and more. The algorithms and modes are also modular so you can add and remove them on the fly without recompiling the library. Changes: A new modular design, and the Modes, algorithm, and key generation modules are loadable at run-time; IDEA, RC4, RC6 which were non-free now are in a separate distribution; and the PANAMA and WAKE stream algorithms were added.
About: Links is graphics and text mode WWW browser, similar to Lynx. It displays tables, frames, downloads on background, uses HTTP/1.1 keepalive connections, and features Javascript. In graphics mode it displays PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and XBM pictures, runs external bindings on other types, and features anti-aliased font, smooth image zooming, 48-bit dithering, and gamma and aspect ratio correction.
