About: SWARM is a software model of the basic ARM processor in C++. Rather than a simple emulator, SWARM attempts to simulate the behaviour of the ARM's datapath. It also provides a model of the memory/cache/registers hierarchy for algorithm analysis. Changes: Initial release.
About: JReferences is a program written in Java for managing bibliographic references in the BibTeXML format. Storage is done in a binary file database or, optionally, in a MySQL database. A PHP Web frontend is available. It can input BibTex, RIS, BibTeXML, and DocBook formated references. Changes: A NumberReference.class for autonumbering of references and generating a reference section.
About: The Image::Size module for Perl provides a clean interface for fetching image dimensions (and type, when unknown) from graphics files in a wide variety of common formats. It is a pure Perl extension (no C or XS linking required) that has been tested on a variety of UNIX, Linux and BSD systems, as well as MacPerl and Windows ports of Perl. It was designed around and tuned for use in CGI application development, but is useful in other areas as well. Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement; adding fully-qualified paths as the key for cacheing data (making it more portable), mtime-checks to cached data to catch staleness, and replacement of a corrupted image in the test suite that caused some tests to fail incorrectly.
About: AxKit is a mod_perl-based XML Application Server for Apache. Employing a rich set of standards-compliant techniques as well as extensible scripting options, AxKit provides on-the-fly conversion from XML to a variety of other formats including HTML, WAP, and plain text. AxKit's notable technical features include the introduction of XPathScript, a powerful, Perl-based transformation language, built-in support for XSLT, "smart" caching, and the easy creation of dynamic XML documents. Changes: A number of new Stylesheet and Media chooser modules, simpler configuration simpler with first class configuration options, and new example files.
About: XMLtp is a tiny XML parser/processor written in Java. It was written at a time when the Java Standard Edition didn't come with its own XML parser. Today it is mostly useful for people working with older Java versions or other editions. XMLtp's main use is in applications that use XML as their storage format for the application's data. Since writing XML is not too difficult, reading XML requires a little bit more effort. XMLtp is intended to simplify this effort. XMLtp is not supposed to replace full-fledged XML processors, it just makes it easy to use a subset of XML in your own Java applications. Changes: A bug in dealing with ampersand entities has been fixed. Some methods now check their parameters more critically.
About: Heirloom mailx (formerly known as "nail") is derived from Berkeley Mail and provides the functionality of the System V and POSIX mailx commands. Additional features include support for MIME, IMAP (including caching and disconnected use), POP3, SMTP, S/MIME, international character sets, maildir folders, message threading, powerful search methods, scoring, and a Bayesian junk mail filter. Mailx can be used as a mail batch language in nearly the same way as it is used interactively. It can thus act as a mailbox filter, can fetch mail from remote accounts, and can send files as attachments. Changes: This release adds GNU autoconf support, two new commandline options, a `pipe' command, and better message ids.
About: gnotepad+ is an easy-to-use, yet fairly feature-rich, simple HTML and text editor for UNIX-based systems running X11 and using GTK. gnotepad+ was designed to have as little bloat as possible, while still providing many of the common features found in a modern GUI-based text editor. Changes: This release fixes a bug that was introduced in 1.2.1: if no text is highlighted and an HTML tag insertion is made, undo didn't undo the inserted text.
About: Guppi is a GNOME-based plot program with integrated statistics capabilities. It is designed to be very scriptable (via Guile) and easily extensible through a plug-in architecture. Changes: This release adds plot layout capabilities, i18n, marginal box-plots, and various bug-fixes and optimizations.
About: The usbmgr loads and unloads Linux USB kernel modules according to the configuration when USB devices connect into or disconnect from a USB hub. Changes: When this release receives SIGHUP, it frees memory and re-loads the config file. When it receives SIGTERM,it umount /proc/bus/usb. Free problems have been fixed.
About: Mozart is a browser-based contact, calendar, and project/case management system written in PHP that utilizes MySQL. Changes: This release corrects many glitches in the system and introduces the basic foundation for the project management section. The calendar and contact management sections are fairly complete with this release.
About: The Spread Toolkit provides tools for developing reliable and robust distributed applications ranging from collaboration tools to fault-tolerant database servers to replicated Web servers. It consists of a daemon which provides multicast messaging, reliability, ordering, and membership services, and a library which applications link with. Spread provides a simple API for writing group applications and is designed to provide high performance for local and wide area networking applications. Changes: New features are a Perl library interface, a FreeBSD port, enhanced event handling library, and new "no drop" buffering semantics that enable applications to not lose data when their buffers are too small. Also included are 2 minor bugfixes, cleaned-up include files, a huge collection of compilation warning fixes and general code cleanup, and improved documentation.
About: sml/nj (Standard ML of New Jersey) consists of a compiler, compilation manager, and libraries for Standard ML. Included are CML (Concurrent ML) and eXene (a toolkit for X based on CML). The compiler produces efficient code for most popular architectures (Intel x86, Sparc, Alpha, Mips, HP-PA, PowerPC) and runs under Unix, Linux, or Windows (95,98,NT). Changes: This release features important performance bugfixes solving most of the memory blowup problems during compilation, some new features in the compilation manager CM, and various other bug fixes and improvements.
About: ScanErrLog is a Python module that allows you to parse Apache error_log files and present their data in decreasing order of occurences of error messages. This is particularly useful if you want to quickly solve the most annoying problems Web visitors encounter on your site. You can use it directly from the command line, import it into another Python program and use the classes it defines, or use it as a CGI script. You can produce reports in HTML, PDF, XML, or Plain Text formats. Changes: First available version.
About: Perl Webmail is a CGI/mod_perl application that interfaces with external POP3 and SMTP services. It provides all the expected functionality of a mail client, such as read, reply, forward, delete, as well as sending and receiving attachments, storage for mail folders, contacts, and calendar notes. Changes: The code and HTML have been cleaned up. A framework for more features has been added. The interface is now more appealing and easier to navigate. Beta support for saving incoming attachments has been added.
About: MFMail is a simple Python-program to mail one or more files from the command-line as a MIME-multipart message. Changes: This release adds support for the mimetype:file syntax, a config-file, and GNU Readline support (reading from a terminal now works correctly).
About: Teapop is another RFC1939 compliant POP3-server, however Teapop takes a step further. It has flexible virtual domain support that is remarkable for POP3 servers. Teapop tries to be very flexible, fast and reliable without lowering the security standards. Changes: Teapop now allows authentication from a PostgreSQL database. A compile-time flag has also been added for virtualdomain-divider to allow broken clients (such as Netscape) to use virtual domains. You will also find a couple of bugfixes in this version.
About: StarTalk is a program that lets you read and write the entries in your Motorola StarTac PCS (CDMA) phonebook. Changes: First public release.
About: outlook2ical is a simple Perl script that converts mail messages produced by MS Outlook Calendar to .calendar file used by the ical program. It handles appointment messages and task requests (with the -task flag). Changes: A new option has been added to limit the message length. This makes sure you don't receive a reminder notice that fills your entire screen. Small changes have been made to the output format to make it show prettier in ical.
About: XDBM is a database designed specifically to handle XML data. It offers greater speed (since the data is stored in a preparsed format), lower memory usage (since only those parts of the file needed are loaded into memory) and faster searching for XML elements. XDBM can also parse and store plain text XML files. XDBM aims to be as close to the W3's DOM specification as possible. XDBM also comes with utilities for converting between XDBM file format and plain text and for reading XDBM files in less and emacs. Changes: This version has been ported to the new API for libunicode.
About: help2man is a tool for automatically generating simple manual pages from program output. It is intended to provide an easy way for software authors to include a manual page in their distribution without having to maintain that document. Given a program which produces reasonably standard --help and --version outputs, help2man will attempt to re-arrange that output into something which resembles a manual page. Changes: Minor bugfix to create directories if required
About: CodeGuide is a lean and fast IDE for Java and JavaServerPages. It features on-the-fly error checking, incremental background ("instant") compilation, powerful refactoring capabilities, and support for generic types. A visual debugger with on-the-fly class replacement (HotSwap) is also included.

It also contains several sample file systems built using the FiST language: an encryption file system, a compression file system, and more - all of which are written as portable stackable file systems.
About: Coyote Linux is a mini distribution designed for setting up network utility services such as Internet connection sharing, firewalling, or wireless access points. The goal is to make it as quick and easy as possible to set up a Linux system with only a minimal amount of Linux knowledge. Changes: More bug fixes to the PPPoE scripts.
About: This is a comprehensive "word game" word list for UNIX/Linux. It is a superset of the author's ENABLE list, the "OSW", and various lists researched by the author's colleague, Alan Beale. At 264,093 words, it is the largest list of its kind, suitable for use in all manners of crossword-type board games and word construction games, as well as for a spell checker dictionary. The YAWL package now includes two anagramming utilities (supplied as source code, handled by the included Makefile). There is also a shell script that extends the UNIX "strings" system command. This is the word list package recommended for the author's Quackey word game. Changes: The master word list has been completely updated to track changes in the "ENABLE2K" list. Utilities for anagramming and multiple word anagramming have been added.
About: GNU nano (Nano's ANOther editor, or Not ANOther editor) is an enhanced clone of the Pico text editor. Changes: Speedup and optimization of display update routines, and some minor autoconf tweaks. This should be considered a bleeding edge release.
About: interceptty is a program that sits between a serial port (or other tty-style device) and an application, and logs everything that passes through it. It is designed to let you see exactly what's going to your serial port. It can also act as a logging serial-to-Ethernet client or server. Changes: An options parsing problem has been fixed
About: grepmail searches a normal or compressed mailbox (gzip, bzip2, or tzip) for a given regular expression and returns those emails that match the query. It also supports searches constrained by date and size. Changes: The missing test cases have been added. The code has been updated to avoid warnings under Perl 5.6. Bug fixes in the test script where bzip2, gzip, and tzip support would not be tested even though the programs were available. A -u ("unique") flag has been added, which ensures that no duplicate messages will be output.
About: Perdition is a fully featured POP3 and IMAP4 proxy server. It is able to handle both SSL and non-SSL connections and redirect users to a real-server based on a database lookup. Perdition supports modular based database access. The distribution ships with modules for ODBC, MySQL, PostgreSQL, GDBM, POSIX Regular Expression, and NIS. The API for modules is open, allowing abitary modules to be written to allow access to any data store. Perdition can be used to create large mail systems where an end-user's mailbox may be stored on one of several hosts, to integrate different mail systems together, to migrate between different email infrastructures, and to bridge plain-text, SSL, and TLS services. It can also be used as part of a firewall. Changes: Includes support for popmap's to be stored in a PostgreSQL database. This complements MySQL, POSIX Regular Expression and GDBM popmap support.
About: wmtheme is a Perl program for managing Blackbox, Enlightenment, Golem, GTK+, IceWM, Oroborus, Sawfish, Window Maker, and xmms themes. It can download, install, activate, and remove themes.
