About: Opera is a full-featured Internet tool, most notably a fully standard conforming Web browser. Opera includes pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, integrated searches, and advanced functions like a password manager, mouse gestures, native Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) support, an email program, RSS newsfeeds, and IRC chat. It is designed to be fast and highly customizable. Changes: Fixes for a huge number of bugs and invented some new ones (those which are most visible are generally related to forms, EcmaScript, and plugins), a lot of performance enhancements, debugging of many issues related to communications, and work on the user interface.
About: adept is a system for developing short courses for users needing to learn specific skills or knowledge. adept provides JIT ("just in time") learning, in contrast to the more usual "just in case" learning. It can be used as an intranet application to propagate knowledge to employees, or to educate customers via your homepage. Changes: Ability to flag users and perform actions on users with a certain flag, showing the entire thread when replying to a message, and setting the sender of mail from the system to a logical value.
About: Mmucl is an extremely flexible mud client written in Tcl that provides a number of different interfaces. The graphical interfaces use GTK and Tk. Changes: Better GUI configuration, more reliability and control with pattern matching, a rewritten info browser for online help, expanding entry for input, action priorities, many bugfixes, and other minor enhancements.
About: The Courier mail transfer agent (MTA) is an integrated mail/groupware server based on open commodity protocols such as ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, LDAP, SSL, and HTTP. Courier provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, Webmail, and mailing list services within a single consistent framework. Individual components can be enabled or disabled at will. Courier implements basic Web-based calendaring and scheduling services integrated in the Webmail module. Changes: Many enhancements to the Webmail server, IMAP server, and mailing list manager, and implementation of the ESMTP STARTTLS extension (ESMTP over SSL).
About: diald-top maintains a top-like listing of all packets and their time to live for use with diald. It uses named pipes for communication. Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement; a DNS request throttling patch.
About: Courier-IMAP is a lightweight server that provides IMAP access to maildir mailboxes. It supports folders, custom authentication modules, and virtual mailboxes. A compatible POP3 server is also provided. The source code is based on the IMAP module in the Courier Mail Server, but this build is independently repackaged to work with any other MTA that delivers to maildir format mailboxes. Changes: New server-side sorting extensions.
About: UserIPacct introduces a new policy mechanism that provides per-user IP statistics (measuring the user's IP usage). This package adds per user IP accounting to the Linux kernel, and contains programs to control and use this accounting data. Patches are available for the 2.0.39, 2.2.19, and 2.4.5 kernels. Changes: A new patch for 2.2.16 and mrtg extensions.
About: The goal of the Portable Spell Checker Interface Library (Pspell) is to provide a generic interface to Spell checker libraries installed on the system. Changes: Support for non-English languages and non-iso8859-1 encodings (including UTF-8), and searching for the best word list based on the requested language amoung other factors.
About: GNU Aspell is a spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell. It can either be used as a library or as an independent spell checker. Its main feature is that it does a superior job of suggesting possible replacements for a misspelled word than just about any other spell checker out there for the English language. Unlike Ispell, Aspell can also easily check documents in UTF-8 without having to use a special dictionary. Aspell will also do its best to respect the current locale setting. Other advantages over Ispell include support for using multiple dictionaries at once and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open at once. Changes: Support for run-together words, an "ispell -l" mode, and updates to work with the latest version of Pspell.
About: GDAM is real-time digital dj mixing software package. Any number of mp3 files can be played and mixed simultaneously. Effects can be added, changed, and rearranged dynamically. GDAM features a client-server architecture; all sound is produced by a server, which receives instructions from any number of clients. Other features include plugins for audio effects and interface components, cacheing and looping, sequencing, assisted beatmatching, a waveform viewer/beat calculator, contiguous queueing (no pauses between songs when using a playlist), an online help system, an mpg123 clone which runs on a gdam server, flexible command line interface for direct control of server, recording of entire mix or any point in stream to buffer/disk/mp3 encoder, support for multiple sound devices, and support for midi hardware control. Changes: This release adds ALSA support and Four Channel Soundcard support.
About: Buildkernel is an intelligent shell script that automates the task of building a Linux kernel. For beginning users, it handles the process from beginning to end, prompting the user when they have to do something. Advanced users can use it to build multiple kernels with little effort. Buildkernel will download kernel and pcmcia source, remove unnecessary code, create symlinks, automatically patch the kernel, build the kernel, modules, and pcmcia modules (nicely), and install them to hard disk or floppy, running LILO as necessary. Changes: Buildkernel now automatically downloads and builds CIPE, FreeSwan, and PCTel modem support, all via it's new external module support. This release also has code cleanups, bugfixes, and support for using wget to pull down source code.
About: Boost was begun by members of the C++ standards committee Library Working Group to provide free peer-reviewed portable libraries to the C++ community. An additional objective is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Indeed, the explicit intent is to propose many of these libraries for inclusion in the C++ Standard Library. The Boost Graph Library, formerly known as the Generic Graph Component Library (GGCL), is a collection of graph algorithms and data structures created in the generic programming style of the Standard Template Library (STL). Changes: New features in this release include a greatly simplified property plugin mechanism, a well-defined interface for extracting internal property accessors from graphs, the dynamic_graph class (fast add/remove vertex), and Johnson's all pairs shortest paths.
About: YPLib (Your Personal Library) is a set of Perl scripts for managing a library. Once you enter the title and the due-date of a book, YPLib sends you an email a few days before the book is due, supports multiple libraries, lets you specify the number of days you want to be reminded in advance, and the email-address you to which you would like the reminder to be sent. Changes: Various minor bugfixes.
About: MOSIX is a management system targeted for high performance computing on Linux clusters and multi-cluster organizational grids. In MOSIX, there is no need to modify or link applications with any library, copy files or login to remote nodes, or even assign processes to different nodes. It is all done automatically, similar to a single computer with multiple processors; just fork and forget. Changes: An update for Linux 2.2.16.
About: MixMagic is hard drive sound mixing program for GNOME that can handle large (larger then system memory) samples. It is able to mix as many waves as your CPU can handle. Changes: A new sidebar, improved error handling and zoom code, and more configurable plug-ins.
About: WMixer is a complete OSS mixer solution in dockapp form factor. All channels are supported, stereo channels balance can be adjusted, and main recording source can be set. Volume can also be adjusted using the mousewheel on newer mice, the mixer automatically updates if another program changes mixer channels, and it uses very little CPU time. There is also an "On-Screen-Display" feature to visualize current volume using a TV-like volume bar. Changes: Implementation of the OSS Mixer API; minor code changes to accommodate OSS weirdness.
About: KDbg is a graphical user interface to gdb, the GNU debugger. It provides an intuitive interface for setting breakpoints, inspecting variables, and stepping through code. Changes: A fix for an endless loop on shutdown, and brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
About: Nirvana is a Java based message oriented middleware package supporting the publish subscribe model. It supports message persistence and XML DOM Documents as well as straight TCP communications and HTTP/HTTPS tunneling. Nirvana supports a federated namespace and instances can be joined together. Matrix is a connector framework providing "out of the box" connectors for most commonly used middleware products. Matrix supports a "many 2 many" configuration in a single instance and allows the user to define transactions that define relationships between source and destination systems. Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement; a new package (Matrix) that provides a generic connector framework for the distribution of data between disparate feeds, new status events, a new C++ version of the client side API, support for proxies requiring user authentication within the HTTP driver, flow control between server joins, loop detection, TTL, and Hop Count values, updates to XML support for the latest Xerces package, removal of all TXDocument references, a logging system (nLogger) for both Matrix and Nirvana, numerous bugfixes, complete Realm support, and addition of nJMS (a near-JMS wrapper).
About: hex2rgb and rgb2hex are two C programs useful for HTML programming and web design. rgb2hex converts the Red-, Green- and Blue-values of a color into their hexadecimal representation. hex2rgb converts the hexadecimal value of a color into its Red-, Green- and Blue-values. Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement.
About: HPTalx transfers files from/to your HP 48/49 calculator, has backup and restore capabilities, and a lot of other nice features. Changes: XModem support, and some fixes.
About: EasyTAG is a utility for viewing and editing tags for MP3, MP2, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, Speex, MP4/AAC, MusePack, Monkey's Audio, and WavPack files. It features a simple and attractive GTK+ interface. Changes: Fixes for displaying of current position and length of list while saving tags, some small memory leaks, and a mistake in bitrate calculation, new ability to refresh the tree browser, a new Undo feature, improvements to MP3 header parsing, new icons in browser for unaccessible directories, an icon appears next to filename field if you haven't write access permissions for the file, an option to (de)activate auto-completion of date, and new icons in messages dialog.

It can handle MIME types, has helpers to show different types, and can encode and decode binary data into ASCII to allow it to be transported as mail over the Internet. It has many built-in functions such as 2 vCards, unlimited POP3 servers, SMTP, SMTP after POP3, SMTP-AUTH (RFC2554), addressbook, encoders, filters, a special spam filter, spell checker, xface, and a new "virtual folder" concept. It also uses external programs to enhance its feature set. XCmail can be extended through a plugin interface. Changes: Better vCard support allows sending vCards, a rewritten vCard reader, better POP3 support (deleting mail on server, local, or both are individual for every mail, and big emails may be retrived explicitly), a new addressbook with many more fields, and attachments may be optionally not saved in the outbox folder (requires less disc space).
About: manpages-ru contains Russian translations of Linux manpages. Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement; editing of the first section, addition of setuid()/setgid() and friends, and several pages from fifth section.
About: Uptime Client is a little program that keeps track of your uptime and sends it to a server where you can compare it to many other hosts and browse through various statistical information. Changes: Experimental Solaris 8 support.
About: QUB (the Q Universal Boardgame) is an electronic front-end to any board game, using a scanned game board and pieces. It is intended to be an aid for PBEM gamers, game designers, and (eventually) real-time networked boardgamers. Changes: Quite a few additions and bugfixes.
About: Webplay creates, from a collection of MP3s and Ogg Vorbis files (indexed from a directory or MySQL/PostgreSQL database), a Web-based jukebox with support for multiple independent streams. If Lame/oggenc are available, it can change the bitrate or codec of a file in real time to a selectable value. Each user controls their stream via a Web interface and can skip back, forward, or to a specific track; increment or decrement the bitrate; and check the current playlist, song, or bitrate. Playlists can be looped, randomized, played locally on the webserver, edited, deleted, reused, or renamed. Changes: Initial public release.
About: cvs-nserver is the almost complete rewrite of network-related CVS code featuring security-critical code in separate executables, a clean authentication layer allowing virtual repositories running under a single system account with an unlimited number of virtual users, simple authentication modules which can authenticate against /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and PAM, and complete compatibility with existing clients. Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement.
About: dobackup.pl is a flexible Perl script to handle unattended incremental backups of multiple servers. It handles multiple media sets with automatic media preparation and rotation, configurable 'what-to-backup', global per-host exclusion patterns, and user settable 'don't-back-this-up' metafiles. Its design goal is zero-maintenance, nothing to do except change the media when told. Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement.
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: A check to see whether the real hostname could be identified or not (in some cases this causes $realname to be undefined, which causes a warning), better tracing with --trace switch, and disuse of barewords as hash indexes (causes a warning on some implementations).
About: Exmh is an X user interface for MH mail. MH provides a set of UNIX commands that manage folders and mail messages. MH has a zillion features as a result of several years of availability. Exmh provides a graphical interface to many of these features, as well as MIME, PGP/GPG support, NNTP, and more. Changes: This release adds PGP 6.5 support and lots of bugfixes.
About: Xplns is a free astronomy simulation software written specifically for Unix. It reproduces real starry sky on your display of X Window System. It calculates the position of many celestial objects accurately. You can enjoy the past and future sky on the desk top as if you have traveled all around the world. Changes: The SAO and GSC star catalog is now supported, the guide line is now customizable, a "Center" menu has been added to the centering object, the comet and minor planet function has been extended, an outline of Sun/Moon has been added, and many bugfixes have been made.
About: Knapster is a Linux KDE client of Napster, the MP3 download utility. It supports most of the napster client operations such as searching by songname/band, messaging, chat channels, downloads and uploads, and an mp3 library. Changes: This release adds updated language support (including German support), a number of small bugfixes and GUI improvements, and saving of previous settings and recent server connections between sessions.
About: Cavalry is a Just-In-Time translator (compiler) for java bytecodes. It is written in Java and produces IA-32 Machine code. It depends on an IA-32 Assembler also written in Java and included in this package. The assembler uses an Intel / NASM type syntax and currently only produces raw machine code (no object formats eg ELF are supported). It currently only supports a limited number of instructions, bascially everything the Translator needs. The assembler can compile a source-file from the command prompt, but it is not very friendly at the moment. Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement
About: Foundation is a real-time multi-player space conquest game. OpenGL hardware support is recommended. Goals include researching new technology, colonizing distant planets, and fighting intense 3D fleet battles for survival. Changes: Networking code is being added . User interface optimised for speed.
