About: Easy Hosting Control Panel for Ubuntu is designed for hosting multiple domains on a single machine. It aims to be easy to install and use, simple, and functional. It currently supports Apache, DNS, MySQL, FTP, and email configuration. It mainly uses the apt-get install system, so it can be installed on any Debian-based distribution, including Ubuntu. It features one-click installs, subdomains, password protected domains, email forwarding, domain transfer to another user, multiple templates, server backup and restore, and different menus for the server administrator, reseller, and domain administrator. Changes: The installer is improved. Bulk domain add: add all domains in a single step, add multiple domains to an FTP account, add a domain to existing FTP account, or add a MySQL database to an existing MySQL user and vice-versa. Domain redirect to a URL. Introduction to the multi-server concept: support for a separate MySQL server for users. Many minor bugfixes and enhancements. Improvement to easy script installs, with 27 scripts/programs. English, Spanish, and Turkish files for the default template are included.
About: Xataface is a flexible and shapable skin that sits on top of MySQL, making it accessible to every-day users. It automatically generates the appropriate forms, lists, and menus for a user to interact with the database without having to know any SQL. It is a full-featured Web application framework, and gives developers the flexibility to customize the features and behavior of their application via configuration files (using the simple INI-file syntax), templates, and plug-ins. A generic application with no customizations is completely functional, but the developer is free to customize things at his leisure. Changes: This release includes quite a few bugfixes, including a critical fix for bug #464. It adds triggers for after_action_login and after_action_logout. It adds support for the nicEdit HTML editor (use widget:editor=nicEdit). Scriptaculous has been replaced by jquery to power expanding/collapsing sections. A reversion option has been added to the old-style resultlist controller via preferences (use_old_resultlist_controller=1). The look of tabs when tabs are used on the edit form has been cleaned up. A --default-preview-length GET parameter has been added to set the maximum length to be shown of text fields in the list view.
About: FmPro Script Diff compares, edits, searches, and stores FileMaker ScriptMaker scripts outside the FileMaker database. Changed scripts are compared on a line-by-line basis and displayed with color coded tags to the left of each modified script step. Search and replace can be performed on variable names, Tablename::Fieldnames, Table Occurrences, and text strings throughout an entire group of scripts. Updated scripts can then be pasted directly into the ScriptMaker window within FileMaker Pro/Advanced. Changes: This release has support for FileMaker Pro 10 script steps and calculation formulas. It has support for tabbing through search results of the Control Flow script field, and displaying the found count for the Control Flow script field. An incorrect error message when saving scripts to an external db file has been removed. An error after cancellation of the load scripts dialog has been fixed. The clipboard handling code has been updated to use the /TemporaryItems directory on Mac OS X.
About: FEST-Swing is a Java library that provides a fluent interface for functional Swing GUI testing. It provides an easy-to-use, DSL-oriented API that makes creation and maintenance of GUI tests easy. It can be used with JUnit and TestNG. Changes: AWT mode has been removed. RobotFixture has been renamed to BasicRobot. 'invokeLater' and 'invokeAndWait' have been removed from org.fest.swing.core.Robot. Component-less actions have been added to Robot. There are some bugfixes.
About: DRadio is a Danmarks Radio player. It is a curses, i.e. terminal-based, frontend to MPlayer, where the available channels are collected for convenient browsing.
About: Radar is a real-time, interactive graphical tool for monitoring Radiator Radius servers. It features monitoring of multiple remote Radiators, graphing, statistics, error and event logging, log viewing, radiator configuration viewing and modification, and alerts for significant events. Radar runs under Unix and Windows platforms. Changes: Minor features and bugfixes were made. There are improvements to the way ping is used on Windows to detect Radiator hosts. It now uses ICMP ping. The range of manual options for the Y Scale in plots has increased.
About: SQLite Diff is a tool for comparing SQLite database schema and data. It is a graphical application that enables developers to easily drag and drop two SQLite databases onto the application to start the comparison process. SQLite Diff uses a high performance in-memory store of both SQLite schemas to perform most comparisons within in a few seconds. The data comparison feature optionally compares each record within the dropped files using the ROWID as the primary key. Changes: This release fixes an issue with data comparisons not being made if schema changes were not detected in the SQLite database files.
About: The Inspector is a UPnP device and service analyzer and debugging tool based on the Coherence DLNA/UPnP framework. It will host the tests from the UPnP test suite to provide a central place to verify device implementations and hunt down any UPnP anomalies.
About: FmPro Migrator migrates FileMaker databases to MySQL, Oracle, Access, SQL Server, Sybase, DB2, OpenBase, PostgreSQL and FrontBase. Perl CGI scripts are generated for each FileMaker layout within the database, and include customized data entry and data validation for each layout field. FileMaker to FileMaker 7/8/9 table consolidations are also supported, thus enabling developers to take advantage of the new FileMaker 7+ security model. Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, and Bento files can also be migrated to FileMaker 7/8/9. Changes: This release adds support for FileMaker Pro 10 database scripts and Table Consolidation projects. It adds support for migrating Bento 2 databases to FileMaker Pro, including relationships between Bento Libraries. Bento 2 forms having field labels at the top and side positions are converted into FileMaker Pro layouts having field labels in the same positions. Support has been added for migrating from FileMaker Pro to Valentina databases. An issue that caused the FileMakerDB.fp7 file to not get created in some situations during Step 5 of Table Consolidation projects has been fixed.
About: UNFS3 is a user-space implementation of the NFSv3 server specification. It is designed to be portable to different operating systems, with built-in Linux and Solaris support. Changes: This release fixes compilation on more recent FreeBSD systems and incorrect filesystem size reporting when using Solaris as an NFS server.
About: Tiny Core Linux is a very small (10 MB) minimal Linux desktop. It is based on the Linux 2.6 kernel, Busybox, Tiny X, Fltk, and Jwm. The core runs entirely in RAM and boots very quickly. The user has complete control over which applications and/or additional hardware to have supported, be it for a desktop, a nettop, an appliance, or server, selectable from the online repository.
About: M.A.M.E. Catalog / Launcher II (also referred to as QMC2) is the successor of one of the first XMAME GUI frontends available, QMamecat (derived from MAMECAT, which was text-only). QMC2 has been rebuilt from scratch as a Qt 4 project. Parts of the design and code were inspired by its predecessor. The new design was made as flexible as possible to minimize dependencies from frontend- and CLI-related MAME changes, which was a major deficiency of QMamecat. QMC2 uses a template-based MAME configuration scheme, which can easily be enhanced with additional command line options (defined in an XML template file). Changes: The SDLMAME options template has been updated to 0.128u7. The options joy_idx1 - joy_idx8 have been added. The template format has been updated to include the template's emulator name. ROMAlyzer determines ROM file CRC identification issues in ZIP files. Several macro definitions have been changed to be consistent within QMC2's namespace. There are new make options, a new SDLMESS options template (see data/opt/SDLMESS/template.xml, initial version 0.128), experimental support for SDLMESS (very basic and no device support yet), and much more.
About: Papyrus is a 2D C++ scenegraph (canvas) library that utilizes the cairo library to perform drawing operations. Similar canvas libraries are the Gnome Canvas, Diacanvas, and the QT Canvas. Numerous canvas primitives are available, including arcs, rectangles, polylines, and line markers. An optional companion library, Papyrusmm, provides a set of Gtkmm widgets which includes viewports (a canvas display widget similar to Gtk::DrawingArea) and other UI widgets related to drawing interfaces. Changes: This release fixes the freehand sketcher example, grid segfaults, and virtual destructors on numerous drawables.
About: The Ogg Video Tools is a toolbox for manipulating Ogg video files, which usually consist of a video stream (Theora) and an audio stream (Vorbis). It includes a number of handy command line tools for manipulating these video files, such as for splitting the different streams. Changes: This release offers two new command line tools. The first is oggSlideshow, which creates a video slideshow from a number of given images, e.g. with the Ken Burns Effect. The second is oggThumb, which creates thumbnail images from a Theora video stream. There are additional changes like support for kate streams, handling of files beyond 4 GB in size, and some minor bugfixes.
About: Tor-ramdisk is an i686 uClibc-based micro Linux distribution whose only purpose is to host a Tor server in an environment that maximizes security and privacy. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. Security is enhanced in tor-ramdisk by employing a monolithically compiled GRSEC/PAX patched kernel and hardened system tools. Privacy is enhanced by turning off logging at all levels so that even the Tor operator only has access to minimal information. Finally, since everything runs in ephemeral memory, no information survives a reboot, except for the Tor configuration file and the private RSA key, which may be exported/imported by FTP. Changes: This is a minor update to reflect updates upstream. tor is updated to 0.2.0.32, and the kernel is updated to Gentoo's 2.6.25-hardened-r11. A minor bug regarding time synchronization was addressed: ntpd now continues working correctly even if the networking configuration is changed.
About: Blue is a unique multi-purpose dynamic programming language. The minimalistic syntax is intuitive, easy to learn, and adapts to a broad range of programming styles and applications. Changes: This release adds the "def" keyword used to set the default object, and syntax that simplifies operations on the default object. Work has been started on a new simplified GUI. Several small bugs have been fixed.
About: MQSLoad is a simple Java program that loads messages read from a file into an MQSeries queue. Changes: This release has major code rewrites and cleanup. It adds a message skip option (-ms), a message count option (-mc), a repeat count option (-rc), a character set option (-cs), a character convert option (-cc), and a message priority option (-mp). Java 1.4 compatibility has been fixed.
About: metaf2xml parses and decodes aviation routine weather reports (METAR, SPECI), aerodrome forecasts (TAF), and synoptic observations (SYNOP) and stores the components in XML. They can then be converted to plain language (text, HTML), or XML with different schemas. Changes: This release amends the processing of the new TAF date/time formats. Additionally, the new format for the runway state is recognized. Some invalid SYNOP values are now tolerated.
About: Javascript Gettext is a JavaScript implementation of the GNU Gettext internationalization (i18n) API. It features a plugin system to handle multiple language file formats, plural support (ngettext), and context support (pgettext). Changes: This release fixes a JSON standards compliance issue, adds a new "strargs" method, and has more detailed documentation.
About: OpenGrade is software for teachers to keep track of grades. It can put the students' grade reports on a Web server and allow the students password-protected access to them. Changes: Files can now be exported to JSON format. Plugin menus are enabled by default, but can be made to go away.
About: AIPS (Astronomical Information Processing System) handles the processing and display of data from radio interferometers. Data can be collected from any radio telescope array. Images can be exported in FITS format. Changes: This release adds the new verbs ASIN, ACOS, and SIZEFILE, and the amplitude calibrator model 3C147 at C and X bands. All I/O-based components were refactored to reduce I/O bandwidth consumption. Code and parameter cleanups for FILLM. Extensive bugfixes and refactoring.
About: Wiz Solitaire is a collection of card games with the ability to use beautiful custom decks. It supports different deck formats, allowing you to choose between thousands of available card sets. You can also easily create your own decks with the included Deck Editor. It includes more than 20 games including Klondike, Free Cell, Spider, Pyramid, Eagle Wing, Baker's Dozen, Seahaven, Rouge et Noir, Scorpion, La Belle Lucie, Golf, and Yukon. Changes: In Spider, the number of deals left is displayed in the status bar. When looking for possible moves, groups of cards weren't considered correctly, so it was possible to get an incorrect game over message sometimes; this has been fixed.
About: The "Schily" Tool Box is a set of tools written or managed by Jörg Schilling. It includes programs like: cdrecord, cdda2wav, readcd, mkisofs, smake, bsh, btcflash, calc, calltree, change, compare, count, devdump, hdump, isodebug, isodump, isoinfo, isovfy, label, mt, p, sccs, scgcheck, scpio, sdd, sfind, sformat, smake, sh, star, star_sym, suntar, gnutar, tartest, termcap, and ved.
