About: RotNN.py is a python module that allows the user to do rotational encryption and de-encryption to obfuscate text. The default functionality is the same as rot13, however you can rotate the text any amount you wish: 15, 21, 4... (Hence the NN.) RotNN also includes two functions, srotate and wrotate, which operate on the entire (UNIX, at least) printable character set. They utilize rotation also, only on more than just A-Z and a-z. Changes: This release makes no changes to rotnn's functionality; it merely includes rotnn_test_script.py, which does lots of keen file and interactive rotational stuff.
About: A C++ based API for 3D visualization or game projects. Contains support for 3d primitives, lighting, scene management, collision-detection, 3d file importers and many other features. Changes: This release adds a .ASE Loader, dynamic Lighting, RGB filtering, transparency, a TGA loader, multithreading, bugfixes, improved performance, and an updated DEMO.
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: This is mostly a bug fix release. Some of the bugs are important. The code to sync the time with eBay had a serious problem that could leave your clock way off and cause your snipes to be late. Another bug would cause bidwatcher to hang on some Redhat systems. Bidwatcher will now dynamically monitor the network lag and adjust your snipe times accordingly. Quite a few other minor bugs were also fixed.
About: GeneWeb is a system for people who want to publish their genealogy data on the Web. It can also be used locally (not connected on the net) as a normal genealogy program. It uses very efficient techniques of relationship and consanguinity computing, speaks several languages, and can run in conjunction with an existing Web server (CGI) or standalone using its own internal server.
About: RabbIt is a mutating, caching Web proxy used to speed up surfing over slow links like modems. It does this by removing advertising and background images and scaling down images to low quality JPEGs. RabbIT is written in Java and should be able to run on any platform. It does depend upon an image converter if image scaleing is on. The recommended image converter is "convert" from the ImageMagick package. Changes: This release fixes simple (no proxy chaining but otherwise working) SSL proxy handling. SSL proxying is configurable to allow connects to all ports, no ports, or a specified set of ports (like 443 and 444). Support has been added for cache handlers; they work like the ordinary handlers but are run only on resources that are fetched from the cache. This means that it is simple to write your own imagehandler that takes an unmodified image from the cache and sends it filtered by the request made. This is nice to have, but always uses more resources.
About: gamp is an ncurses-based console MP3 frontend for any sajber-jukebox compatible player, including mpg123 and amp. gamp was written to have most of the functionality of other X-based MP3 players. It includes an excellent playlist editor with support for loading and saving m3u playlists, as well as a fully functional player. Changes: This release is multi-threaded to give better performance, can edit a playlist while playing, uses id3 tags, and has a working randomizer and many bugfixes.
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: Fixes for the log file rotation scripts that caused the logs to not be compressed or rotated correctly, and minor changes to the firewall scripts to fix an improper parameter specification when called by the PPP init scripts.
About: GTKstereograph is a GTK interface to stereograph, a stereogram generator. This package includes the current renderer but does not yet support all features (i.e. transparency). Changes: An updated renderer and a new option to invert the base.
About: PySDL is a module for Python that provides an interface for the Simple DirectMedia Layer's functionality. It currently supports the video, CD-ROM, joystick, audio, and event subsystems. Changes: Support for timing and various other small things, and initialization-safe global functions.
About: VAMP (Very Attractive Mail Program) is an extremely easy-to-configure, usable, Web-based email client written in PHP3 (and compatible with PHP4). It is for use with POP3 servers, and it also supports "Virtual Domains", encryption (under Linux/PHP3), attachments, contact list, a signature database, an easy-to-use setup tool, and more. Changes: A fix for automatically deleting sent attachments from the hard disk, and more.
About: dsproxy emulates an OSS device that "virtualizes" itself so each UID that opens /dev/dsp gets its own private sound device. At this point, simultaneous reading of /dev/dsp by another process "samples" the data out of dsproxy. The tagged audio data and ioctls stream may be saved to disk locally as the example program does, retargeted over a network, pushed into an effects generator (3-D sound), etc. The virtualization feature is a stepping stone to adding sound to VNC on a per-desktop basis with each user appearing to have total control over /dev/dsp. Most OSS ioctls are implemented, so applications such as xmame and rvplayer7 may be retargeted through dsproxy. Changes: Initial release.
About: Freemed-YiRC is a PHP package based on Freemed for use with Youth in Residential Care (YiRC) agencies. Its aim is to be a complete package to replace legacy non-free apps which aren't customizable. Since it's PHP-based, all that is needed for the client is a good Web browser with extensive table support. Some of the objectives for Freemed-YiRC are: User Management, a Contact Database, Clinical CaseNotes, an Incident Report System, an email client, a Service Plan System, a Timecard System, and Medical Billing (Medicaid/Insurance/Private). Changes: More work on the Clinical CaseNote forms designer/generator, error-checking when finished, and automatic SQL generation of your custom table (taken from the structure of the form you design).
About: Portable OpenSSH is a Unix/Linux port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH, a full implementation of the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols. It includes sftp client and server support. Changes: Lots of bugfixes.
About: VFS is a Virtual FileSystem written in PHP. It is aimed at communities that need to share files between different users distributed at different offices, buildings, etc. Typically, email is not suitable for sharing files because many are more than 8Mb, and FTP doesn't give enough flexibility on the user permissions. It is hoped that this solution will get around these problems and offer a more powerful and flexible file sharing system. Changes: Removal of the mod_rewrite dependency so it should work on any PHP-enabled webserver, minor bugfixes, and date stamps on file uploads that can viewed from the file information page.
About: Cooledit is a text editor for the X Window System. It contains a built-in Python interpreter for macro programming, and it includes a rich set of utilities and features. It has multiple edit windows and a beautiful, intuitive user interface that requires no tutoring to learn to use. It can be used as a programmer's IDE and has syntax highlighting for a large number of programming languages. It contains an interactive graphical debugger for C/C++ programs. Changes: Support for Unicode and anti-aliased fonts.
About: WebCalendar is a Web-based calendar application that can be configured as a single-user calendar, a multi-user calendar for groups of users, or as an event calendar viewable by visitors. WebCalendar requires a database such as MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, ODBC, or Interbase. Features include email reminders, iCal/vCal import/export, remote subscriptions for Sunbird or Apple iCal, LDAP and NIS support, and translations for 29 languages. Changes: Support for repeating events, a few bugfixes, and new translations for Spanish, Dutch, and Korean.
About: Postaci (Turkish for Postman) is multiplatform Webmail software which is database independent, multilanguage, POP3/IMAP, and fully MIME-compatible. While using POP3 mode to fetch messages it uses database fields to simulate IMAP folders, on which you can save, move, delete, and read e-mail. It also contains an adressbook, a notebook, and a bookmark manager application. Changes: First release.
About: The IPchains Firewalling Module, part of the RockSolid Linux Distribution, allows you to easily maintain a firewall based on ipchains with the Webmin look and feel. It has three modes: Newbie (select one of five security levels), Template (define from a table with protocols and directions what should be allowed to pass your firewall), and Expert (have the real ipchains experience by having every parameter under control by editing a script file which has all ipchains rules). Nearly all of the ipchains options are supported. Changes: Fixes for a wrong ICMP type flag and removal of some wrong error messages.
About: am-utils is the next generation of the popular BSD automounter, amd. It includes many additional updates, ports, programs, features (such as NFS V.3 support, and shared libraries), Autofs, bug fixes, and more. Changes: An important fix which improves the performance of symlink lookups a lot and further helps reduce the incidence of stale file handles when doing rapid mounts and umounts (via amq -u).
About: Big Brother is a combination of monitoring methods. Unlike SNMP where information is just collected and devices polled, Big Brother is designed in such a way that each local system broadcasts its own information to a central location. Simultaneously, Big Brother also polls all networked systems from a central location. This creates a highly efficient and redundant method for proactive network monitoring. Changes: Parallelized network tests, a clear result from the local test instead of purple for dialup hosts when the log expires, testing of dialup hosts only once for connectivity, fixes for duplicate offline/online messages and a touchtime bug on Alpha Linux, an optional text message in disable request, and adjusting sleep interval to script run time.
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: Final beta release for CUPS 1.1, with many bugfixes, documentation updates, and a few enhancements to the job-hold-until support.
About: MuX2d is a graphical music notation editor which outputs MusiXTeX files. MusiXTeX is a macro language for typesetting music with TeX. Changes: Support for more than one staff per instrument and different clefs.
About: Gcal displays hybrid and proleptic Julian and Gregorian calendar sheets, respectively, for one month, three months, or a whole year, and also eternal holiday lists for many countries around the globe. It features a very powerful creation of fixed date lists that can be used for reminding purposes (i.e., it can display fixed dates on the day on which they fall and remind the user about them either on screen or by email), and calculate various astronomical data and times of the Sun and the Moon for any location, precisely enough for most purposes. Changes: Initial announcement.
About: Stereograph is a stereogram generator that renders exclusively truecolor stereograms. It offers different effects to increase the quality of your artwork, including transparency effects. Changes: This release implements base layer alignment for transparent rendering and adds an option to invert the base image.

Changes: This version comes with optimized string handling, resulting in significant performance improvement. Also, the xsl:copy feature is implemented now.
About: HTTrack is an easy-to-use offline browser utility. It allows you to download a Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the mirrored Web site in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. WebHTTrack is a Web-based GUI for HTTrack. Changes: The cache system has been improved, it is now compatible with all platforms. The update process has been improved. Remote timestamp added for files. etag (http/1.1) supported. Bugfix with links containing commas. 'file://' bug fixed. Performance improvements added.

Changes: Version 0.9.0 includes generalization, the new linux kernel version 2.2.16, some bugfixes, better multi-user support, and some new commands.
About: BIRD is a dynamic routing daemon for UNIX-like systems. It should support all routing protocols used in the contemporary Internet, such as BGP, OSPF, RIP, and their IPv6 variants (except for OSPFv3 which is still under development). It also features a very flexible configuration mechanism, and a route filtering language. Changes: Initial release.
About: The Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM) is a collection of graphical editors for different software specification methods. It contains generic editors (for generic diagrams, tables and trees), editors for Structured Analysis (entity-relationship diagrams, data and event flow diagrams, state-transition diagrams, function refinement trees etc.) and editors for UML (static-structure diagrams, use-case diagrams, activity diagrams etc.). TCM supports various levels of constraint checking for single documents. Features to be added later include constraint checking across documents and executable models, and support for hierarchic graphs. In addition to the TCM file format, TCM outputs Plain PostScript, Encapsulated PostScript, PNG and the XFig file format. The TCM file format is simple to read and parse so other forms of output can be generated easily. Changes: Text underlining has been added to all editors. A dialog window was added for node shape type conversion in TGD. It contains improved support for line-line connections in TGD/TSSD. A3 page size support added. Page size and scale factor are now stored in document files. Bugfixes. User Manual revised and updated.
About: httptype reads a list of http hosts and optionally the port number for each of these. It queries each host, displaying the type of HTTP server running on that host, if any. It reads the http_proxy and no_proxy environment variables to determine whether to use a proxy or not. These options may also be specified through the command line. Changes: This is a small bugfix release that removes the use of barewords as a hash index. In some cases this caused a warning.
About: User-Agent Log Watch (ULW) processes custom Apache logs and reports hits based on combinations of URL, user agent, and remote IP address. It maintains a list of known IPs, so they aren't reported twice. The list of URL/UA/IP is stored in a configuration file, and its entries can be regexp-understood by gawk. It can be cronned or it can call mail/sendmail. The custom log is reset each time ULW is invoked and processed logs are gzipped and stored in a different location. Changes: This version is just cosmetic touches, and the last release.
About: KCDLabel is a program to create labels, covers, and booklets for CD cases. It can include text, bitmapped images, and directory content recursively read from a directory. KCDlabel can print and output postscript files. It can also create round labels to stick on CDs. KCDLabel can access CDDB to retrieve information about a CD. Changes: Initial release.
