About: Gnumeric is a powerful and easy to use spreadsheet using GNOME. Its goal is to provide a full featured spreadsheet and a smooth migration path for people and organizations currently using proprietary applications. It provides more sheet functions and greatly improved accuracy when compared to Microsoft's Excel. A plugin system lets you extend Gnumeric, adding functions, I/O formats, and real time data capabilities. The existing Python, Guile, and Perl plugins let you define complex functions. Gnumeric is capable of reading and writing MS Excel (XLS and Office Open XML), and reading Lotus, Applix, Quattro Pro, OpenCalc (ODF), XBase, DIF, SYLK, HTML, Psion, MPS, oleo, sc, misc. text formats, and its native XML. It can also generate Latex, HTML, and others. Changes: Numerous bugs were fixed. Froblems found using fuzz testing and valgrind testing were fixed. There were also fixes for a text export problem for times with fractional seconds, XLS import and export problems, translation of function descriptions, parser crashes, an array evaluation problem, empty array handling, R1C1 parsing of refs followed by subtraction, range highlighting while editing, highlighting of merged cells, display confusion when reordering away from an RTL sheet, an internal cleanup for analysis tools, and markup/text confusion. Tango-based icons are now used.
About: GOffice is a library of document-centric objects and utilities building on top of GLib and Gtk+ and used by software such as Gnumeric. Changes: It is now possible to exclude outliers from boxplots. GOConf code was moved from Gnumeric to GOffice. Plot type activation/deactivation issues were fixed. Full lines are now always used when drawing markers. Singleton support was added to scatter and bar/column plots. X axis text clipping was fixed on Win32. The bubble size calculation was tuned to be closer to other implementations. Plain menu items are used for toolbar overflow image menu item proxies so that they are displayed correctly with gtk-menu-images=0.
About: Dolphin Smash is a mixed-signal, multi-language simulator for IC or PCB designs. It uses SPICE syntax for analog descriptions, Verilog-HDL and VHDL for digital, Verilog-A/AMS, VHDL-AMS and ABCD (a combination of SPICE and C) for analog behavioral, and C for DSP algorithms. Changes: The release implements enhanced ease of setup with a simulator control file for analog and logic designers, a streamlined graphic user interface with reworked menu bar and enriched tool bars, integrated Power-Up analysis for transient ramp-up of circuit power supplies, accelerated automatic operating-point searching, bias point saving during transient analysis, noise analysis for Verilog-A models, encryption of SPICE libraries, and optimized on-the-fly SDF annotation to reduce memory consumption during circuit elaboration.
About: Sockso is a personal music server for everyone. It's designed to be as simple as possible so that anyone with a mouse and some MP3s can get their friends listening to their music across the Internet in minutes. Changes: Users can now store their own cover artwork for artists and albums on the filesystem. The proplist command now pretty prints, orders correctly, and can be filtered. A few minor bugs were fixed.
About: Eric4 is a Python IDE written using PyQt4 and QScintilla2. It has integrated project management capabilities with class browsing functions, gives developers an unlimited number of editors with syntax highlighting and code folding, an integrated Python shell, an integrated Python debugger, a file system browser with class browsing capabilities for Python files, and more. Eric4 is the successor of the well known eric3 development environment. Changes: Bugfixes.
About: namefix.pl is a cross platform batch file renamer, facilitating quick and painless renaming of filenames. It features all the expected batch file renaming functions, id3v1 and id3v2 support, Explorer integration for Windows, and much more. It is especially useful for cleaning up BT downloads. Changes: The block rename window can now be resized nicely. MP3 genres were sorted. An issue with fn_readdir removal of '.' and '..' that occasionally lead to a file being omitted when the directory array was truncated was fixed.
About: GIT is a set of interactive tools. It contains an extensible file system browser, an ASCII/hex file viewer, a process viewer/killer, and some other related utilities and shell scripts. It can be used to increase the speed and efficiency of most of the daily tasks such as copying and moving files and directories, invoking editors, compressing and uncompressing files, creating and expanding archives, compiling programs, sending mail, etc. It looks nice, has colors (if the standard ANSI color sequences are supported), and is user-friendly. Changes: A new apropos command (^X^A) was included for key-binding search. gitaction was rewritten, adding more file types and viewers. Environment variables used by gnuit now start with GNUIT_ rather than GIT_ (eg GNUIT_PAGER, GNUIT_BROWSER, etc.). The old names are still accepted for backwards compatibility. Input in incremental-search mode was fixed. Base 1024 is now used when auto-scaling. Large file support was fixed.
About: TEA is a modest and easy-to-use GTK+2-based editor with many useful features for HTML editing. It features a small footprint, a tabbed layout engine, support for multiple encodings, code snippets, templates, customizable hotkeys, an "open at cursor" function for HTML files and images, miscellaneous HTML tools, preview in external browser, string manipulation functions, SRT subtitles editing, Morse-code tools, bookmarks, syntax highlighting, and drag-and-drop support. Changes: This is the first release of a new, Qt-based branch.
About: Galactic Killdozer is a PC-port of a good-old ZX-Spectrum era game, a Boulderdash-like 2D scroller originally named "Astra Down to Earth".
About: Architecture Rules is a Java library that allows a programmer to assert code's architecture via unit tests or ant tasks. This test is able to assert that specific packages do not depend on others and is able to check for and report on cyclic dependencies among your project's packages and classes. This project wraps a industry accepted JDepend to simplify the process of maintaining a solid software architecture. Changes: This release included a report class creating the cyclic redundancy, made testArchitecture() public, added configuration method chaining, included a license file, added support for wildcards, and provided an API for retrieving the list of violations. Exceptions should now implement an ArchitectureRulesException. Meaningful defaults were provided with the Maven plugin. A classpath conflict with common-io and Spring was fixed.
About: DNS Blacklist Packet Filter is a Linux netfilter client that decides whether to accept or drop packets based on the results of a DNS blacklist query (such as MAPS, SORBS, or SPEWS, to name a few). One use is to filter all incoming SMTP SYN packets for spam filtering. Changes: A few minor cleanups were made to make the client work with newer machines and OSes. It now compiles and runs successfully on FC9 under 2.6.25 on a 64-bit machine.
About: iRODS (integrated Rule-Oriented Data Systems) is a second generation data grid system providing a unified view and seamless access to distributed digital objects across a wide area network. It is an adaptive middleware data grid that operates by means of user-supplied rules and a Rule Engine which interprets the rules to decide how the system is to respond to various requests and conditions. Changes: GSI was added as an authentication method. The ERA module contains new collections management micro-services for manipulating objects, user accounts, access rights, and metadata. Several micro-services have also been added to retrieve audit trail information from the iCAT. An XML module has been created and contains a micro-service that performs XSLT transformations on iRODS objects. HDF5 support was added along with PHP and Java APIs, improved Oracle access, and support for public accounts. Passwords are no longer stored as plain text.
About: Open Babel is a community-driven scientific project including both cross-platform programs and a developer library designed to support molecular modeling, chemistry, and many related areas, including interconversion of file formats and data. Changes: Highlights include improved force fields and coordinate generation, conformer searching, enhanced plugins including molecular descriptors, filters, and command-line transformations. Many formats are improved or added, including CIF, mmCIF, Gaussian cube, PQR, OpenDX cubes, and more. An improved developer API and scripting support and many, many bugfixes are also included.
About: FbTerm is a fast terminal emulator for Linux that uses the frame buffer. It is mostly as fast as the Linux kernel's terminal when accelerated scrolling is enabled on the frame buffer device. It allows you to select fonts with fontconfig, auto-detect and convert text encoding with support for double width scripts like Chinese and Japanese etc, dynamically create and destroy up to 10 windows, record scroll-back history for every window, and copy/paste selected text between windows with mouse the when the gpm server is running.
About: DrScheme is a graphical environment for developing programs using the Scheme, MzScheme, and MrEd programming languages. DrScheme runs under Windows 95/98/NT, MacOS, and Unix/X.
