About: larswm is a modified version of the 9wm window manager that adds virtual desktops, automatic window tiling, and many other features designed to make it a highly efficient user environment. One of the design goals is that you should never have to manually shuffle windows around on the screen. Another is that it should use as little CPU time, RAM, and screen space for itself as possible. Changes: This fixes all bugs found since release 4.4. Borders of all widths down to zero width are drawn correctly. The input field of the WM_HINTS struct is now honored. Other minor problems were fixed.

About: cvsq (CVS queued) is a tool that enables developers with a dial-up connection to work comfortably with CVS. It accepts same arguments as CVS but instead of directly processing them, cvsq stores all requests in a queue and handles them later.

Support for CVS options before CVS command was added. Portability fixes were made.
About: glrcsim is a flight simulator for radio controlled models. It is aimed at slope soaring, where unpowered models glide on the breeze. Changes: Initial announcement.

About: hc-cron is a cron daemon for 'home computers'. It runs specified jobs at periodic intervals and will remember the time when it was shut down and catch up jobs that have occurred during down time when it is started again. Hc-cron is based on the widely used vixie-cron and uses the same crontab format so that it can be used as a drop-in replacement for that program. Changes: A new option was added to support a config file, as well as a new option to pass the deamon's runtime environment to started jobs. Some security fixes were made.

The Web interface allows local and remote users to control what music is being streamed by the server, and includes support for browsing the music collection, playlist mangement, multiple channel support, and an automatic music selection mechanism called DJ Random. The package also includes scripts to do one step ripping, encoding, and submission into the database. The server allows remote MP3 check-in/check-out and a supplied script allows downloading a playlist from the server into a Rio player. Changes: Fixes for the remaining outstanding bugs to create the latest stable release.
About: Given a URL, Getleft will try to download all links.

About: mpatrol is a link library that attempts to diagnose run-time errors that are caused by the wrong use of dynamically allocated memory, including writing to free memory and memory leaks. Along with providing a comprehensive and configurable log of all dynamic memory operations (such as malloc(), operator new, etc.) that occurred during the lifetime of a program, the mpatrol library performs extensive checking to detect any misuse of dynamically allocated memory and has support for both memory allocation profiling and tracing. A wide variety of library settings can also be changed at run-time via an environment variable, thus removing the need to recompile or relink in order to change the library's behaviour.
