Source: Freshmeat Daily News Redet (Regular Expression Development and Execution Tool) is a tool for developing and executing regular expressions using any of more than 20 search programs, editors, and programming languages. For each program in each locale a palette showing the available regular expression constructs is provided. The features of each program are determined by running a test suite, which guarantees that they will be correct for the particular program version in use and for the user's locale. The locale may be changed without exiting Redet. Selections from the palette may be copied to the regular expression window with a mouse click. Definitions can be added to the palette via an initialization file. The regular expressions executed are recorded in a history list, from which entries may be copied to the regular expression window with a mouse click. This allows complex regular expressions to be developed in pieces. When a suitable regular expression has been constructed it may be saved to a file. Named character classes may be defined in a file or entered interactively. As long as the underlying program supports Unicode, Redet fully supports UTF-8 Unicode. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: The existing character entry tools have been improved and two new ones added: one for entering characters by their Unicode codepoint, and the other for creating custom entry widgets. The search tools have been improved, and tools added for going to a specific line or character. A Unix manual page is now provided.

The handling of source RPMs was fixed, and the import/export function no longer exports unnecessary (old) packages after the second run.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Task Coach is a simple todo manager to manage personal tasks and todo lists. It grew out of a frustration that well-known task managers, such as those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not provide facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things to do consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with composite tasks. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: Features added include a Simplified Chinese user interface, an autosave setting to automatically save after every change, and a backup setting to create a backup when opening a Task Coach file.

The results are professional manuscripts and industry-standard spec scripts, with a Web site thrown in. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: This release creates the files CafePress needs to publish your books as 5x8 paperbacks. See the Web site for an example. The ruby2 converter scripts can be used stand-alone as well as with Spirit. The asterisk problem in ruby2latex has been fixed.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Plash (the Principle of Least Authority Shell) is a Unix shell that lets you run Unix programs with access only to the files and directories they need to run. In order to implement this, the filesystem is virtualized. Each process can have its own namespace, which can contain a subset of your files. Plash is implemented by modifying GNU libc and replacing the system calls that use filenames. For example, open() is changed so that it sends a message to a file server via a socket. If the request is successful, the server sends the client a file descriptor. Processes are run in a chroot jail under dynamically-allocated user IDs. No kernel modifications are required. Existing Linux binaries work unchanged. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes: It's now possible to build Plash's modified glibc from scratch without manual intervention. There's now an option for granting programs access to the X11 Window System automatically, so you can run X programs conveniently (it's off by default because X11 is not secure; clients can interfere with each other.) There's a new way of setting options in the shell. This release has limited support for directory file descriptors, so XEmacs can run under it.

Links are now also clickable in message windows. Group chat sign-in and error reporting have been improved.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News The goal of the Ng Java Roguelike Engine is to make it easy for anyone to create their own rogue-like game, and to make it possible for programmers to create truly outstanding variants. The project currently consists of three components: the Core, the Variant Manager, and the Prototype. It also includes an unsupported non-Ng Angband project that was nearly completed in 2000-2001. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: This release focuses on gameplay enhancements for SimpleGame. Several new monsters, including cold-breathing white dragons, spice things up. Try the new "repeat" command after eating or zapping something. Just press "space" immediately afterward to eat/zap the same item again. With wands, this works with any wand of the same type, so if you have 30 charges spread among 8 different wands, you can just zap once and hit space 29 times.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News 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.

Gnumeric is capable of reading and writing MS Excel, and reading Lotus, Applix, Quattro Pro, OpenCalc, XBase, DIF, SYLK, HTML, Psion, MPS, oleo, sc, misc. text formats, and its native XML. It can also generate Latex, HTML, and others. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: This is the first development release after the GOffice reverse merger. A long-standing hang problem when exiting the Gnome session with an iconized Gnumeric was fixed. A new plugin with statistical functions using the same calling conventions as The R Project was created (the actual code is not a 100% match, though.). There are many Win32 improvements, clipboard support for images, and accuracy improvements for extreme-value cases of statistical functions.
