newLISP is a Lisp-like, general-purpose scripting language. It has all the magic of traditional Lisp, but is easier to learn and use. newLISP is friendly, fast, and small. Most of the functions you will ever need are already built in. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes:
The new "read-utf8" function reads UTF-8 characters from files. Treatment of the status header response line in CGI files by newLISP server mode has changed and is documented in the "Code Patterns" document. The "directory?" function is now insensitive to trailing slashes on Win32.

gPodder is a Podcast receiver/catcher written in Python and pyGTK. It manages podcast feeds for you, and automatically downloads all podcasts from as many feeds as you like. If you are interested in Podcast feeds, simply put the feed URLs into gPodder and it will download all episodes for you automatically. If there is a new episode, it will get it for you. It supports download resume, if the server supports it. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release can resume downloads between sessions, and remembers the episodes that are downloading on exit. The file and folder naming has been improved, so that files and folders are now human-readable and easy to look at with a file manager. A new tool, gpodder-backup, makes it possible to back up and restore settings and downloads.

C++ ResourcePool is a library which can be used to pool resources of every kind. It can also be used as an abstraction layer by providing a unique API for different resources of similar resource types; the most prominent examples are SQL databases. It includes a convenient way to access MySQL and Oracle databases in the same way, so that changing from MySQL to Oracle or vice-versa does not need big code changes. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release fixes a bug in the example code as well as a minor memory leak in the Oracle driver. The code was cleaned up to avoid unnecessary templates, improve exception safety, and make better usage of constants. The binary is about 5% smaller and performs a little bit better.

SportsTracker is an application for recording sporting activities. It is not bound to a specific kind of sport, as categories can be created for all sport types, such as cycling, running, or tennis. The main advantages are the good overview of your exercises and the easy creation of exercise statistics for specific time ranges and sport types. Users of heart rate monitors (Polar and CicloSport) can import, display (including diagrams), and organize the recorded exercise data. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
The biggest change is the support for new entry types. Note entries can be entered for e.g. events or training plans. Weight entries can be used for tracking the body weight history. The calendar shows entries of all types now, but there are also special list views for each entry type. PolarViewer can now display S510 RAW files and Polar CS600 HRM files. Internal refactoring has been done for the entry type system and many views and dialogs. Most of the translations have been updated.

Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music composition system. Users declaratively state a music theory and the computer generates music which complies with this theory. A theory is formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of rules (constraints) applied to a music representation in which some aspects are expressed by variables (unknowns). Music constraint programming is style-independent and is well-suited for highly complex theories (e.g. a fully-fledged theory of harmony). Results can be output into various formats including MIDI, Lilypond, and Csound. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release brings many small-scale improvements and extensions to Strasheela. Most importantly, the implementation of Schoenberg's Theory of Harmony as CSP has been documented (HTML with sound examples), Strasheela now supports adaptive just intonation, the music representation has been extended by several convenient constructors, and a number of pattern constraints have been added. Also, some bugs have been fixed.

Eclipse integration was improved. Printing was added. Relation handling was improved. Internal code refactoring was done.

Open Tool Kit (Otk) is a portable widget library for making graphical user interfaces for C programs. It emphasizes simplicity for the application programmer without eliminating capability. Based on OpenGL, Otk supports Linux, Unix, and other OSs neutrally and efficiently. It is simple and compact, and it strives for easy compilation and linking to other applications. In seeking to address several issues associated with earlier graphics APIs, Otk explores some interesting methods, such as window-relative layout instead of pixel-based layout. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes:
The tab-key was activated to jump the cursor to the next form-box when the cursor is in a single-row text form-box. The automatic test-capture capability was improved by adding time-tags to the XML file. This now regulates the play-back speed of previously captured tests.

AsDoclet can be used to generate Actionscript and C# files out of Java sources. Such a tool is useful for RIA and client/server applications where value objects are transmitted between server and client as serialized data that should be deserializable on both ends again. That includes remoting technologies like Flash Remoting, RTMP, Blaze DS, Red5, and Hessian. License: The Apache License 2.0 Changes:
The baseclass parameter was renamed to superclass. The ignore tag is considered when adding an override annotation or keyword. Annotation tags are processed on interfaces. A bug in C# boundary template was fixed.

Food and certain monsters can also be spat out and used as a projectile against other monsters. Vacuum Magic can be played by up to six players, either cooperatively or against each other. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
A very difficult boss battle was added: the bomber. New enemies include the ice rain, the spider, and the bomb. Players can now hold down the fire key to prolong slurp time before spitting. This allows for a more precise aim. The bullet time bonus item was added, which slows down enemies for a while. A new background was added. Several new visual effects were added. Some bugs were fixed.

Httpx takes over the front-line position of binding and listening on the public address and port of your virtual Web hosting server. In this role, it scans incoming requests looking for the HTTP/1.1 Host: request header entity. Once the Host: value is found for a given request, it is routed to a UNIX domain socket in the local file system located through a cached database lookup. Over this UNIX domain socket, an inter-process descriptor pass occurs to a Web server modified slightly to receive TCP socket descriptors passed over a UNIX domain socket instead of binding, listening for, and accepting TCP sockets. This allows vhosts to share an IP address while having private, host-specific, potentially unique httpd contexts. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes:
"Host:" values are now truncated to remove any trailing dots or whitespace before being used in the HostMap lookup. In previous versions, "Host:" values like "www.foo.com." would result in a lookup of "www.foo.com.", requiring rows for both "www.foo.com" and "www.foo.com.". With this version, the value "www.foo.com." will result in a lookup of "www.foo.com", simplifying the HostMap configuration.

qooxdoo is a comprehensive and innovative AJAX application framework. Leveraging object-oriented JavaScript allows developers to build impressive cross-browser applications. No HTML, CSS, or DOM knowledge is needed. It includes a platform-independent development tool chain, a GUI toolkit, and an advanced client-server communication layer.

Wt is a C++ library for developing Web applications with an API that is widget-centric and inspired by existing C++ graphical user interface APIs. To the developer, it offers complete abstraction of any Web-specific implementation details. Under the hood, the library uses the latest techniques (AJAX) to handle user events and update the Web page. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release is the first preview release for Wt 3.0.0. A type-safe flags template class was added (WFlags). The WResource API was redesigned to support async I/O using continuations and file uploads. Scalable "server push" is now fully supported also in the presence of proxy servers that close connections. A WGoogleMap widget was added. Widget memory usage has been reduced by three-fold, which in turn leads to big performance improvements on low-end (embedded) systems. Floating point I/O in SVG/VML/Canvas rendering has been optimized.
