About: gd is a library for creating and reading PNG, JPEG, GIF, WBMP, and XPM images. It has many features and can be used in scripts (e.g. PHP, Perl, Ruby, Lua, and Python) for dynamic image generation. PHP users should note that PHP 4.3.x includes its own distribution of gd, which is currently the best choice for PHP applications. Changes: Debugged and improved WBMP support, new WBMP tests in gdtest.c, removal of use of the platform-dependent 'install' command, and more.

Facilities for detecting and blocking Trojan Horse exploits and worms are also provided. Changes: Some new executable extensions, and a fix for a bug that prevented macro scanning (no longer vulnerable to extremely long To: headers).
About: The GNU Debugger (GDB) is a source-level debugger for C, C++, Java, Modula-2, and several other languages. It runs on GNU/Linux, the BSD's, and almost every major proprietary OS. GDB can debug programs running on the same machine as itself, or it can communicate over a network or serial line with a debugging stub on another machine; thus, it can be used for embedded and kernel debugging. Changes: Improved support for debugging FP programs on x86 targets, improvements and bugfixes in hardware-assisted watchpoints, new native configurations (ARM and PowerPC GNU/Linux), Gould support removed, remote targets can connect to a sub-program, many C++ enhancements, Bbeakpoint commands accept ranges, a new MI interface, and a new 'apropos' command.
About: Sirobot is a Perl script that downloads Web pages recursively. The main advantage over wget is its ability to get them concurrently, and is able to continue aborted downloads and convert absolute links to relative ones. It uses curses, can do HTTPS, and has a pattern-matching filter to prevent you from downloading the whole Internet. Changes: HTTPS support.
About: Kwav2cd is a CDRDao frontend to create audio CDs from .wav or .mp3 files. Changes: Multiple selections in the filelist, a progressbar to the convert dialog when you use mpg123, and removal of unused code.

About: 3dom stands for 3-Dimensional Object Modeler. The aim of 3dom is to offer a tool to model reality with user-chosen accuracy, and user-chosen inclination for a particular purpose, which can be gradually improved and extended. 3dom is designed to be a general-purpose modeler, however it is especially inclined to model scenes for Global Illumination purposes. Changes: A new constraint engine, a reworked plugin engine, and new plugins (surface of revolution, extrusions, and Python-generated objects).
About: Electric Death Ferret is a PHP3 script for entering new domains and virtual hosts online so that they can be set up automagically by the included Perl daemon in Apache, NcFTPd, and BIND. It includes a setup for suexec and another PHP3 script for setting up system users. These system accounts are for dialup customers and mail-only accounts. There is also an option for creating aliases in Sendmail and for converting a full dialup account into a mail-only one (this is done by editing the RADIUS file). Changes: Initial announcement.
About: lupengo is the most famous arcade game involving penguins, now without penguins, for one or two players (team). An Amiga version is also available. Changes: Sound effects, removal of GTK, and fixes for several compatibility problems.
About: jac is a command line CD player that allows you to play your CDs in any order with looping features (on track, playlist, or the entire CD), random playing, backwards playing, exclude from playing, crazy-playing, and many other features.

About: mod_log_spread is a patch to Apache's mod_log_config, which provides an interface for spread to multicast access logs and per-vhost logs. It utilizes the group communication toolkit Spread for reliable multicast transport. mod_log_spread was developed to solve the problem of collecting consolidated access logs for large web farms. In particular, the solution needed to be scalable to hundreds of machines, utilize a reliable network transport, allow machines to added or dropped on the fly, and impose minimal performance impact on the Web servers. Changes: Initial announcement.

HTML::Mason is most powerful when used in conjunction with mod_perl, but can be used in standalone applications as well. Changes: Components now support an inheritance model, significant improvements have been made to autohandler functionality, the parser is now more modular and easier to extend, and Apache::Request support has been added.
About: PIKT is cross-categorical, multi-purpose software for monitoring and configuring computer systems, administering networks, organizing system security, and much more. PIKT is intended primarily for system monitoring, and secondarily for configuration management, but its versatility and extensibility evoke many other wide-ranging uses. PIKT consists of a sophisticated, feature-rich file preprocessor; an innovative scripting language with unique labor-saving features; a flexible, centrally directed process scheduler; a customizing file installer; a collection of powerful command-line extensions; and other useful tools. Changes: Much of the script processing code has been rewritten in a more modular, readable, and maintainable fashion, the implementation has been redone (introducing AWK-style associative arrays) #indent-#unindent preprocessor directives have been added (for automatic indentation of PIKT configurations), automatic assignment-to-var in #split() has been implemented, the value history mechanism has been revised (fixing a serious scalability problem), several other minor bugs have been fixed, and the PIKT Source Code OVERVIEW file has been added.

It supports headings, lists, tables, simple character markup, hyperlinking and is highly customizable. It recognizes some of the apparent structure of the source document (mostly whitespace and typographic layout) and attempts to mark that structure explicitly using HTML. Changes: Reserved characters in titles created with --titlefirst are now escaped properly. A preformatting bug introduced in 1.26 has been fixed. Regexps have been extended to allow additional characters in URLs and *emphasized* text.

Changes: Bugfix in SysDepLinux.cpp in function SysMakeDir(), permission mask changed to 0700. Improved external programs execution behaviour under NT. Added option to setup domain message filters with external programs execution ( remember to add the filters subdirectory if You're upgrading an existing XMail ). This can help filter messages based on content to avoid mail worms and viruses that travel in attachments.
About: News Clipper allows web designers to automatically integrate dynamic information from the Internet into their own web pages. It allows individual users to create custom newspapers, or businesses to enliven otherwise static web pages. Its tag language gives users control of data acquisition, manipulation, and presentation, and can be extended by writing new "handlers". Changes: Support for FTPing output files to a remote server. Many cache improvements. Versioning prevents accidental download of incompatible handlers. Bugfix handler versions automatically downloaded. Handler format has changed radically.
About: mp3_check helps to identify in explicit detail MP3s that do not correctly follow the MP3 format. It also looks for invalid frame headers, missing frames, etc., and generates useful statistics. This can be especially important when building an archive, and you want high quality MP3s. Changes: Command-line options now behave more predictably. Dependencies for GNU libc have been removed so it now compiles/runs nicely under Solaris and others. Another ~10% speed improvement with more optimizations. Also, a '-p' option was added that sends all statistics to a single line for easier manipulation. Code cleanup.
About: gswitchit is a simple keyboard state indicator for the GNOME panel. It supports up to 4 keyboard groups and has customizable images for each group. Changes: Properties are now handled using Control Panel.
