freedomeditor is a Web-based GUI focused on creating an extensively modular Web development environment (with filesystem browsing functionality) that uses multiple integrated Web development environments.
Changes: A Joomla 1.5 password generator was added. FreeBSD software administrator helper tools were added. More options were added to the file and folder explorer.
Mod_OpenPGP is an Apache module that serves as a
companion for Firefox’s extension “Enigform”.
Together, they enhance the HTTP protocol with
OpenPGP Session Management (Initiation,
Validation, Expiration, and Auto-Closing), Request
Signing and Verification.
Changes: This release is of beta quality. A definitive Enigform guide was added. A Wordpress authentication plugin was added. Enigform was released for Firefox 0.8.2.8.
LottaNZB is a Usenet client that automates the download of files from Usenet with the help of NZB files. It can enqueue NZB files directly from within your file manager and Web browser. It supports Newzbin.com, bandwidth throttling, and multiple Usenet servers. The download queue can be rearranged and NZB files can be added using drag’n'drop. It can be easily configured without having to manually edit configuration files. Supported languages included English, Dutch, Danish, French, and German.
Changes: This version fixes a couple of small bugs and comes with some new translations. For those who initially used the Ubuntu package of LottaNZB 0.3, this release fixes a severe problem with the automatic extraction of downloaded archives. LottaNZB now always uses “unrar” instead of “unrar-free” because the free alternative isn’t capable of extracting a majority of downloads. The Hebrew, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian Bokmal, and Spanish translations were updated. A Turkish translation was added. A bug that prevented LottaNZB from working properly on machines with the Turkish locale was fixed. Unwanted leading and trailing whitespaces was removed from category and download directory names for downloads that were added to the download queue using an older version of LottaNZB. A bunch of Debian/Ubuntu package improvements were made.
AgileWiki is a composable platform for advanced
Web-based and P2P networks. It allows multiple
points of entry, where each node is an information
fusion system with controlled access, pluggable
applications, and native deductive reasoning.
Changes: A rolon cache keyed by UUID and holding the headline, first parent UUID, first name, and an everyoneCanRead flag has been deployed to speed pathname resolution, pathname determination, and many of the existing queries. An old bug in keyword search has been fixed.
XFPROT is a graphical frontend for the F-Prot
Antivirus for Linux Small Business Edition.
Changes: The GUI was improved. Support for roxterm was added. Support for gnome-terminal was fixed. The Xfprot_Scan and Xfprot_Update scripts were fixed to work with dash. Support for f-prot v6 option –mount was added. Support for f-prot v6 options –boot, –adware, and –application was improved.
The Appconf Library is a library responsible for
managing the configuration data of other, bigger,
standalone applications. It lets you read
configuration files and feed your applications
with required data. The library supports storing
information in ini-like files and MySQL tables.
Changes: This release contains a bugfix that allows you to create more than one configuration simultaneously for a single application. Previous releases that were using static variables in few places didn’t allow doing this. The documentation has been updated, and a few misspelled words corrected.
This release isn’t in 100% compatible with previous releases. Please, see the manual for details. Note that although this is a stable release, it wasn’t thoroughly tested with a debugger (just a few simple tests).
GLib is a library containing many useful C routines for things such as trees, hashes, and lists. GLib was previously distributed with the GTK toolkit, but has been split off as of the developers’ version 1.1.0.
Changes: Major new features include optimizations of GHashTable and GMarkup, support for in-place decoding of base64 strings, more consistent use of FUSE file:// URIs and back conversion by GIO, and GIO ’shadowed’ mounts. Many bugs were fixed.
GTK, which stands for the Gimp ToolKit, is a library for creating graphical user interfaces. It is designed to be small and efficient, but still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces created. GTK provides some unique features over standard widget libraries.
Changes: Several new APIs were added, such as GtkOrientable and GtkActivatable. Enhancements were made for GtkEntry, GtkScale, GtkStatusIcon, the file chooser, printing support, and internationalization support, among others. Many bugs were fixed.
Lifebox is a fast, lightweight, social photo and
video gallery application that is designed to organize large
amounts of media. It is able to differentiate between original and modified photos so you can upload your entire library to your server and highlight your favorite photos and videos into albums to share with friends. Lifebox also makes a distinction between albums and rolls, so a single photo or video can be part of multiple albums but only one roll. It extracts data from EXIF tags and XMP sidecars, making it compatible with the data from programs like Adobe Lightroom, Picassa, and iPhoto. Lifebox is social in that people and objects can be tagged, and they will receive an email when this happens. It supports authentication, so you can control who has access to what photo.
Changes: This release has additional checks and a simplified installation script. It has more auto-detect functionality, so the default settings should be good for most installations.
xine is a free multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and VCDs. It also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from local disk drives, and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet. It interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available–and some of the most uncommon formats, too. All those features come in a reusable library (xine-lib) which can easily be embedded in your applications.
Changes: Broken size checks were fixed in various input plugins, as reported in CVE-2008-5239. More malloc checking was added, as demanded by CVE-2008-5240. A possible integer overflow in the 4XM demuxer was fixed. Race conditions in gapless_switch were fixed. Several other fixes were made.
