Billiards is a cue sports simulator. It aims for physical accuracy and simplicity. It should be useful for practicing billiards on your own and against your friends when a real pool table is not available. Both a pool table and a billiards table (that is, with and without pockets) are implemented, allowing you to play eightball, nineball, and carom billiards games. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes:
A few fixes were made to make Billiards compatible with ODE 0.10.1 and resolve some issues with the initial setup of the balls.

TAMS (Text Analysis Markup System) Analyzer is a qualitative or ethnographic coding and data extraction-analysis system. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
Users can now search their data by sentence and by paragraph. Searches can use the full set of boolean operators. Lots of bugs were fixed.

gentoo is a file manager written in C. It uses the GTK+ toolkit, and the two-pane concept, somewhat inspired by DOpus. gentoo strives to be very configurable, and also to let you do all configuration from a GUI within the program itself. Using advanced file typing and styling systems, gentoo determines how to display files in its listings, and also how to act on them. The package includes a set of over 120 unique handcrafted icons, for many different types of files. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This is the first version of gentoo to require GTK+ 2.x. It also includes minor enhancements and bugfixes.

Mercurial is a fast, lightweight Source Control Management system designed for the efficient handling of very large distributed projects. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release adds support for explicit closing of named branches. Mercurial now accepts options given after arguments on the commandline. Translation support and initial Danish, Chinese, Japanese, and Italian translations were added. Optional pure-Python versions of the C modules were added. Pending changesets can now be accessed safely from hooks. The convert extension can now read Perforce sources. Many improvements were made to the documentation and online help topics.

GNU SIP Witch is a pure SIP-based office telephone call server that supports generic phone system features like call forwarding, hunt groups and call distribution, call coverage and ring groups, holding, and call transfer, as well as offering SIP specific capabilities such as presence and messaging. It supports secure telephone extensions for making calls over the Internet, and intercept/decrypt-free peer-to-peer audio and video extensions. It is not a SIP proxy, a multi-protocol telephone server, or an IP-PBX, and does not try to emulate Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, or Yate. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes:
SIP presence support was introduced. SIP instant messaging now operates multi-nodal. Other improvements made in sipwitch multi-nodal operations to better support meshed calling networks.

gipfel is a tool to find the names of mountains or points of interest on a picture. It uses a database containing names and GPS data. With the given viewpoint (the point from which the picture was taken) and two known mountains on the picture, it can compute all parameters needed to compute the positions of other mountains on the picture. gipfel can also generate (stitch) panorama images. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release fixes problems with image saving on some platforms and a crash in stitching mode.

Grammatica is a parser generator (compiler compiler) for C# and Java. It improves upon similar tools (like yacc and ANTLR) by creating well-commented and readable source code, by having automatic error recovery and detailed error messages, and by support for testing and debugging grammars without generating source code. Grammatica supports LL(k) grammars with an unlimited number of look-ahead tokens. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes:
Support was added for case-insensitive parsing, advanced regular expressions, and VisualBasic.NET code generation. The parsing speed has also been significantly improved for most grammars.

paexec distributes performing the given tasks (stdin) across several CPUs or machines in a network. License: MIT/X Consortium License Changes:
The algorithm for cycle detection (paexec -s) was completely reworked and now does't allocate tasks_count^2 integers. Now it works much faster. The -Z _timeout_ option was added. An attempt to rerun a command on a failed node is made every _timeout_ seconds. This option makes it possible to organize clusters over unreliable networks, hardware or software.

IXThemes is an implementation of innovative methods in the development of qualitative universality themes and templates for content management systems based on the XOOPS Web application platform such as pure XOOPS, ImpressCMS, EXM System, and others. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
The common size of a theme is reduced. Unused logos and icons are deleted.

NoStaples aims to be an HIG-compliant desktop scanning application with an emphasis on low-volume to medium-volume document archival for small businesses and home offices. It is written in Python using PyGTK and Glade with an eye towards clear, intelligible code. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes:
Device support and stability were vastly improved.

Para::Frame is a system to use for dynamic Web sites. It runs as a backend daemon taking page requests from an Apache mod_perl client and returns an HTTP response. The URLs on the site correspond to templates for displaying information. Operations on the data are contained in Perl modules separated from the templates. License: Perl License Changes:
Many feature enhancements were made. Changes were made regarding reCAPTCHA, the charset detector, image handling, domain validation, spreadsheets, more package tests, the calendar widget, the HTML WYSIWYG editor, the source editor, awstats, the server control panel, CSS, email sending, I18N, list manipulation, page renderers, more Unicode handling, worker dispatch, more widgets, and better stability.

Vuurmuur is a firewall manager for Linux that supports traffic shaping. It has powerful monitoring features for logging and live connections. It can be managed entirely through an Ncurses GUI, on the console, or through SSH. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
A number of services were added. The German translation was updated. The installation script was fixed for some newer systems. A reload now preserves command-line switches. Listenport and reportport option parsing were fixed.

BEdita is a semantic content management framework: a tool to create, organize, and publish contents and their semantic relations. With BEdita you can create multiple Web sites at the same time, you can build multimedia archives, implement e-commerce services, e-learning systems, and blogs. You can handle and coordinate work of an entire editorial staff and much more. BEdita is a modular framework. It can be customized to best handle any kind of content and semantic relations.

BpmDj is a program that can be used by a DJ. It plays MP3 and Ogg files. It has a fully automatic BPM counter. It can determine the sound color. It has a full fledged Qt based interface. It will help you manage a large amount of songs. It can help in creating playlists and has proven to be very robust. The program also allows offline automatic mixing and contains a wavelet based beat graph analyzer to visualize audio tracks. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes:
A low latency JACK driver was added, The possibility to let bpmplay emit a JACK bar/beat clock or to receive it from another source was added.

LMDBG is a collection of small tools for collecting and analyzing the logs of malloc/realloc/memalign/free function calls. Unlike many others, LMDBG does not provide any way to detect overruns of the boundaries of malloc() memory allocations, as this is not the goal. Like most other malloc debuggers, LMDBG allows detecting memory leaks and double frees. However, unlike others, LMDBG generates full stacktraces and separates the logging process from analysis, thus allowing you to analyze an application on a per-module basis. License: MIT/X Consortium License Changes:
GPL phantoms were completely removed. Minor fixes were made in the Makefile. Minor clean-ups were made in stacktrace.c.

Flinger is a super lightweight program launcher for GTK+-based systems. It's a simple program with very few dependencies, but it is very powerful. Its target user is someone who can write simple scripts and doesn't mind tinkering. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes:
This is the initial release. The documentation is still weak, but the program itself is quite stable.
