A background rendering bug in the ANSI converter that caused problems when using Amiga Font (used font_size_x value for background block size instead of a fixed value) has been fixed. Another background bug in the ANSI converter was fixed (the buffer wasn't filled with black after being allocated, which caused some blocks to have an incorrect background color if nothing was drawn).

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Ragel compiles finite state machines from regular
languages into C, C++, Objective-C, or D code. It allows the programmer to embed actions at any point in a
regular language and to control non-determinism in
the resulting machines. It understands
concatenation, union, kleene star, subtraction,
intersection, epsilon transitions, and various
other common operators. Through the use of labels
and epsilon transitions, Ragel supports the
building of state machines using a named state and
associated transition list paradigm. Its finite
state machines are closed under all of its
operators. This property allows for arbitrary
regular languages to be described. It can be used
to create a parser for any language that is
regular.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Errors that caused the build to fail on systems with older versions of Bison were fixed. An issue with D code was fixed: some generated expressions were improperly interpreted as containing a c-style cast. Some tag names in the XML intermediate format were improved. Action and action list ids were added to the XML intermediate format. The long type was added to the list of supported alphabet types.

with the output files from dvd-slideshow. dir2slideshow makes a dvd-slideshow input file from a directory of pictures. gallery2slideshow makes the input file from your Gallery album. jigl2slideshow makes the input file from your jigl album. The output is fed through dvdauthor to create DVDs.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
There were a few issues causing a infinite delay when waiting for mpeg2enc to finish processing the data pipe. This was seen only on systems with bash = 3.1. Some temporary files were not being deleted when a kenburns effect was used, creating additional output in later fades or kenburns efffects. Both of these issues are fixed now, along with some bugfixes in gallery1-to-slideshow.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Magellan Metasearch is a modular meta search engine, enabling users
to monitor as many search engines as they want. It provides a complex
query language with standard boolean operators, meta-operators (to
search through pages' metadata), and proximity operators. This language
enables users to perform far more complex queries than what common
search engines currently support. It can be fed any custom sources,
since its abstraction layer manages the search results and their meta
tags in a uniform way. In conjunction with the local process scheduler
(such as "cron"), Magellan enables you to save your requests and replay
them later automatically; new results are sent through email and RSS
in realtime. Magellan also provides full anonymity through smart
multi-proxy support.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release adds a long-awaited feature: Magellan now enables users to
create their own sources online. Two design modes are available. The
automated mode tries to interpret the HTML output and extract search
results from engines that rely on the URL-TITLE-DESCRIPTION combination.
The manual mode lets the user enter Perl search expressions. Source
drivers are now much more reliable. When a driver doesn't work anymore,
Magellan switches to automated parsing mode and tries to extract search
results, even if the search engine has updated its output format.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News SrcControl is a new form of package management system. It doesn't have a centralized package repository and packages don't have the actual data for the program it installs. What a package, or "source package", contains is information required to locate and properly download, extract, configure, compile, and install the newest version
