Changes:
Instead of a specific session manager, this release uses a default PHP session system with a database handler. The search engine backend was redesigned to avoid passing search rules in URLs.

The ability to choose pictures ordering inside a section was added.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Fcron is a periodical command scheduler which aims at replacing vixie cron, so it implements most of its functionality. It does not assume that your system is running either all the time or regularly: you can, for instance, tell fcron to execute tasks every x hours y minutes of system uptime or to do a job only once in a specified interval of time. You can also set a nice value to a job, run it depending on the system load average, and much more.

Changes:
This release has several bugfixes, especially for BSD systems. The man pages have been translated to French. Please note that a buffer overflow was been found in the program convert-fcrontab, which is part of fcron 3.0.0.

finished. Various small bugfixes were made.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News This small tool consists of two executables,
udp_send2 and udp_recv2, implementing plaintext
non-interactive data transfer over UDP/IPv4 with a
preset transfer rate. On lossy links, it yields
better throughput than TCP-based transfers. It may
also be used for smooth user space throttling. It
dedicates a mode to SNAT/MASQ, so the receiver can
initiate transfer from behind a firewall. It
features a very precise user space packet
scheduler. It handles SIGSTOP in a rational way.
It only transfers in one direction for one
invocation. It needs and uses no synchronous I/O
multiplexing. Shell access is required on both
ends. The package also contains the auxiliary
multi-threaded tool "bigpipe", which can be used
to reduce pipeline latency.

Changes:
The package has been ported to Cygwin 1.5.19-4.
Some messages are more user friendly now. Several
small portability and documentation related fixes
have been applied against bugs which likely
manifested nowhere. The multi-threaded program
"bigpipe" has been added for Unix98 platforms and
Unix95 platforms with Posix Threads. It promotes
asynchronicity among members of a pipeline. It
helps in advancing through regular files on NFS-,
SMB-, or USB-mounted devices. This benefits
udp_copy2 directly because it requires very low
latency on stdin/stdout. The version numbering has
been sanitized.
