Changes:
Multi-architecture support, preliminary PPC support, no MMU support, preliminary pure 68000 support (need a patched gcc), better memory initialisation in the first level, better quickdraw initialisation in the second level, and some partition tools to add Apple_Driver (experimental). A 68040 MMU bug has been fixed. It has been tested successfully on: Q610, LC45, IIci, Q650, Q800, LC, Performa 450, SE/30, Classic II, PB150, PB180, PB520, and PB540.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News minpair generates a complete list of minimal pairs
(words differing in exactly one segment) for use in linguistic research from a
list of words in UTF-8 Unicode. By default, only
searches for pairs of words of the same length
differing in exactly one segment. Command line
options allow the addition of single insertions or
deletions and single transpositions. In order to
find all minimal pairs it is normally necessary
for the input notation to use one character for
each segment. Even in IPA transcription, this is
often not the case. minpair provides for this
situation by accepting definitions of multigraphs.

Changes:
A newly created task is linked by default with the target `localhost' and the queue `batch'. So calling the 'rtsq' command is not necessary if you want to run this task on localhost/batch. But if you want to run the task on another target and/or in another queue, you have to call the 'rtst' command. You can use the new commands 'tsn' (target set name) and 'qsn' (queue set name) command to rename a target or a queue.

frontend presents data in tables, matrices, or plots.
The reports are fully customizable, and their
definitions are stored in the database.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The main feature is the support for different
types of backend modules to collect data to the
same frontend. The backend modules supplied with
this version are Netflow, MPing (new), and SNMP
(new). The filestructure has been completely
redesigned for the backend to better support the
module concept. In addition, both the frontend and

Source: Freshmeat Daily News ccbuild is like a dynamic Makefile. It finds all programs in the current directory (containing "int main") and compiles them. For this, it reads the C++ source and looks at all local and global includes. All C++ files surrounding local includes are considered objects for the mean program. The global includes lead to compiler arguments like path includes and libraries to link to. The main goal of the project is to allow development without editing any scripts of any kind. Real deployment/distribution should still be done with the autotools.
As an added bonus, it can create Makefiles and graph dependencies using DOT (graphviz) graphs.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Resolution files may now contain any combination
of linker and compiler options. This should allow
the building of almost any type of well written
C++ program. Resolution file loading is much more
robust. Although the preprocessing is still
missing, the changes made should allow any normal
program to compile without any problems.

sorted in natural order, such that 2.jpg comes
before 10.jpg.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Darcs is an advanced revision control system. It
has two particularly distinctive features which
differ from other revision control systems: each
copy of the source is a fully functional branch,
and underlying it is a consistent and powerful
theory of patches. In spite of its power, darcs is
simple to use, in part because of the symmetry
that is restored by making each copy of the
repository a branch.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A number of bugs that were present in version
1.0.2 have been fixed. Most particularly, there
was a (generally harmless) bug in darcs 1.0.2
which led to a frightening message about an error
in writing pending changes. Besides bugfixes,
there were also some interface enhancements,
including an improved unpull/unrecord patch
selection interface and finer-grained control over
colorization and character escaping in darcs'
output.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News CDfs is a file system for Linux systems that `exports' all tracks and boot images on a CD as normal files. These files can then be mounted (e.g. for ISO and boot images), copied, played (audio tracks), etc. The primary goal for developing this file system was to `unlock' information in old ISO sessions. The file system also allows you to access data on faulty multi session disks, e.g. disks with multiple single sessions instead of a multi session.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Removing the module now stops the daemon properly
and no longer causes an oops in preemptible
kernels. Discid is now correctly calculated if an
audio CD contains data tracks.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Mail Avenger is a highly-configurable,
MTA-independent SMTP server. It lets users run messages through filters like ClamAV and SpamAssassin during SMTP transactions, so the server can reject unwanted email before assuming responsibility for its delivery. Other unique features include TCP SYN fingerprint and network
route recording, SPF (sender policy framework) as a general policy language, qmail-style delivery of extension addresses, validation of sender addresses through SMTP callbacks, mail-bomb protection, integration with kernel firewalls, and more.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release fixes a bug in which SPF could incorrectly return
"unknown" for include: directives with an underscore character
in the domain name. It also makes Mail Avenger compile on
hosts without libpcap (though this disables the SYN fingerprint
feature).
Source: Freshmeat Daily News quilt is a tool for managing a series of patches

crash problem when using mplayer resize.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News rlocate is an implementation of the "locate"
command that is always up-to-date. The database
that the original locate uses is usually updated
only once a day, so newer files cannot be located
right away. The behavior of rlocate is the same as
slocate, but it also maintains a diff database
that gets updated whenever a file is created or a
directory is moved. The rlocate kernel module can
be compiled only with Linux 2.6 kernels.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Fast update was implemented. Fast update is run automatically
every time, except the first time and every tenth time
updatedb is started. Fast update takes 2 to 10 seconds to
complete. Permissions for diff database and /proc/rlocate were
fixed. module.cfg was moved to the var directory.
