This is a source-only release.
About: Thread Safe Template Library (TSTL) is a C++ library that provides thread-safe storage data structures without global locking. It includes classes for maps based on a non-binary extensible hashing tree for very fast access, a pipe, a queue, a timercache, a limitcache, and a fast writer multiple reader guard (WMRG) without global locking (which uses the interlocked instruction set of the CPU). It's useful for writing multithreaded applications and operating system components. Changes: Synchronization in the limitcache template was changed. Limitcache passed hard stress testing.
About: Linux Bluetooth Remote Control (LBRC) is a remote control program that allows a Linux computer to be controlled by a J2ME device via Bluetooth. It is divided into a server part that runs on the computer and reacts to input events and a client part that runs on the J2ME device. The J2ME client sends the device's keycodes, which are translated to keystrokes, mouse movements, mouse clicks, or other input events on the controlled computer. Changes: This release release adds debug output for SDP registration, fixes character selection in the GUI config for the UInputDispatcher, checks the uniput device in UInputDispatcher before passing it to the dbusbridge, and fixes a problem in the dbus log handler.
About: Pragmatic Mathematical Service is a JavaScript collection with over 400 mathematical functions. It also includes a very simple frontend that is usable with a mouse and/or keyboard (a virtual keyboard is included). Changes: Several small but annoying bugs have been fixed. A complex data type has been added with all basic operations (+, -, /, *, %, fmod, pow, log, and exp, to name just a few) including a set of trigonometric functions with their inverse, hyperbole, and inverse hyperbole counterparts together with a couple of helpers. A linear, square, and cubic solver have been added, and thus eigenvalues for 2x2 and 3x3 real matrices.
About: TKDO is a CLI and PyGTK program designed to work with VimOutliner files. It takes all your todo.otl outlines, merges them into a single flat list, auto-sorts them, filters them, and adds support for things like contexts and recurring events. It also has a snooze button. It's easy to mark tasks as "don't bug me about this for a while". The entire system is based on plain text files, with a GUI to make certain tasks easier and faster. Due to its plain text nature, it's easy to extend or customize the system with short scripts. If you have a lot of todo lists scattered across many directories or even multiple computers, TKDO is useful as a "master list" to access all your lists at once.
About: POWDER is a Roguelike game. It was written initially for the Gameboy Advance, but was since ported to the DS, Linux, Windows, and Mac. It is fully graphical and can be played solely with a stylus or a mouse. Changes: In addition to usual bugfixes and features, there are new items (the ice mace and lightning rapier) and a new monster (the kobold thief).
About: MIMP is a version of the popular webmail client IMP intended for mobile phones and PDAs. Basic webmail functionality is implemented, including mailbox viewing and paging, viewing messages, deleting, replying, forwarding, and composing new messages. It utilizes the Horde Application Framework. Changes: Sort change links have been added to the mailbox. A Slovak translation has been added. Further bugfixes and improvements have been made.
About: hamsterdb is an embedded database engine written in ANSI-C. It includes B+Trees with variable length keys and records. It supports in-memory databases and endian-independent files, database cursors, multiple databases in one file, "record number" databases, and duplicate keys. hamsterdb is very fast and highly configurable. It compiles and runs on Unix platforms, Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Windows CE. Changes: This release adds one API function, which will be needed to implement the Python wrapper. It also fixes three bugs, two of them minor.
About: FBReaderJ is an e-book reader for the Android platform. It is a clone of the FBReader book reader written in Java by the same authors. FBReaderJ supports several e-book formats: oeb, epub, and fb2. Direct reading from zip, tar, and gzip archives is supported. Changes: Text selection has been added. Book tag support has been added.
About: Igelle is a Linux-based operating system distribution that is designed to run on various different devices, including desktop/laptop computers, cellular phones, mobile internet devices, and other handheld computers. As much as reasonably possible, it aims to produce the same user experience across all supported platforms. Changes: This is the first publicly available release of the operating system. This is an early development release, and not suitable for general end-users yet. A prebuilt ISO for x86 and a source package have been released for this version.
About: Hammock is a mock object framework for J2ME devices. It is used in conjunction with unit test frameworks like JMUnit and J2MEUnit. The framework includes mocks for many of the J2ME UI and I/O classes as well as a utility, HammockMaker, for generating mocks of other classes. Changes: This release adds an Ant task, testlistener, that can be used with JMUnit to make continuous integration testing possible; no manual intervention is required to run or verify the tests. In particular, a broken test causes an Ant build to fail. The demo application, ObjectStreams, has been extended with more unit tests and to show how continuous integration testing is now possible. Mock objects from the java.util package (e.g. MockDate and MockRandom) have been added to the distribution.
About: Pragmatic Mathematical Service is a JavaScript collection with over 400 mathematical functions. It also includes a very simple frontend that is usable with a mouse and/or keyboard (a virtual keyboard is included). Changes: Major bugs were fixed. Some 20 functions were added.
