language. It can be used under FreeBSD, Linux,
BeOS, Windows, SCO OpenServer, Dex4u,
L4Ka::Pistachio, or as an operating system. It was
designed to be easy to learn and use, yet remains
powerful enough to allow useful applications to be
developed in it.

Changes:
This version fixes a bug in the implemenation of
"clear" (console) for the Windows port. It also
cuts out a few old and unused files from the
source tree for the FreeBSD port.

Jython support was added.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News MailManager helps teams deal with large volumes of
email by allocating mail to the right person,
providing tools to help answer it (prioritisation,
reply templates, and a knowledge base), and
allowing managers to set service levels for
different types of mail and report on performance
against service levels and volumes received.
MailManager is based on Zope which is required to
use it. It is cross-platform, but most of the
testing has been under Linux and Mac OS X.

Changes:
This release fixes a very important bug where
email could potentially be lost when collecting
through POP3. The error reporting has also been
improved when sending a reply to an invalid email
address. There is also a minor fix to changing
ticket status in languages other than English. The
test suite has been massively improved.

Changes:
A local horizon chart and an object list chart
were added. Objects and aspect values can be
retrieved via a DCOP interface.

puzzles" or "paint by numbers").

Changes:
The source code has been split into several files.
Graphic characters are now rendered with the help
of the terminfo database rather than using fixed
escape sequences.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News mICQ (Matt's ICQ Clone) is a portable, small, yet powerful
console-based ICQ client. It supports password changing, auto-away,
creation of new accounts, and other features that makes it a very
complete yet simple client. It is able to send and receive messages
from the ICQ network, list users that are offline and online
(including their online status), search for users by email address,
and look up basic (name, UIN, email) information.

Changes:
An autopackage is available. Some preparations
were made for MSN. Bugfixes were done. A few new
options were made: peekme and autoauto.
Auto-expanding aliases were implemented.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Holodeck10 is a Java-based application that runs
on Linux. The purpose of the application is to
allow the user to lay out images to be printed. It
supports the basic function that includes
orientation selection (LANDSCAPE or PORTRAIT) and
layout (1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x3, 4x5, and 6x8). A file
chooser is used with a file filter to select image
types of *.jpeg, *.jpg, *.gif, *.xpm, and *.png.
The simpledoc interface is used to prepare the
document for printing.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A "Custom" layout was added. Essentially, this
option enables the user to work with 20 images on
the canvas. The images can be individually sized
or moved on the page. The ability to delete
individual images from the canvas has been added
to all LAYOUTs.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News DaemonRip runs as a Unix daemon and polls a CD
drive to see if an audio CD is inserted. When an
audio CD is detected, it will automatically
connect to a CDDB server to determine the name,
artists, and tracks of the CD, and begin to rip
and encode the CD using your preferred ripping and
encoding applications. When finished ripping the
disc, it will be ejected from the drive, allowing
you to insert a new one to continue the process.
No other user interaction is required. This
application also keeps statistics about your
ripping and encoding times, and logs all of the
actions to a log file.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Extra samples were added to the daemonrip.conf
file. A problem was fixed where when stopping the
daemon it had to wait for the existing sub process
to finish prior to stopping the main daemon. A
directory flag was added to the ripping program so
that it knows where to save the files to. A
problem was fixed where the genre replacement in
the encoder line was not implemented correctly. %g
now works correctly.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News PLPA is an attempt to solve the problem of
multiple API's for processor affinity within
Linux. Specifically, the functions
sched_setaffinity() and sched_getaffinity() have
numbers and types of parameters depending on your
Linux vendor and/or version of GLibc. This is
quite problematic for applications attempting to
use processor affinity in Linux for compile-time,
link-time, and run-time reasons. The PLPA provides
a single processor affinity API that developers
can write to in order to get both consistent
behavior and binary compatibility across different
Linux installations (assuming that you have an
executable that is otherwise binary Linux portable).
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
The return status of
plpa_sched_[set|get]affinity() is now ensured to
be zero upon success.
