About: DJ Native Swing allows you to easily integrate some native components into Swing applications, and provides some native utilities to enhance Swing's APIs. The main focus is the integration of a native Web browser and Flash Player using a Swing-like API. All the threading issues and general integration headaches are handled automatically. It uses SWT under the hood, and thus should work everywhere SWT can be placed inside a Swing component. Changes: This release changes the whole API to make the framework more consistent and easy to use, and improves documentation with Javadoc. There are also bugfixes and new functionalities.
About: SHOGUN is a machine learning toolbox whose focus is on large scale kernel methods and especially on Support Vector Machines (SVM). It provides a generic SVM object interfacing to several different SVM implementations, all making use of the same underlying, efficient kernel implementations. Apart from SVMs and regression, SHOGUN also features a number of linear methods like Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Linear Programming Machine (LPM), (Kernel) Perceptrons, and algorithms to train hidden Markov models. SHOGUN can be used from within C++, Matlab, R, Octave, and Python. Changes: This release contains several major enhancements and bugfixes. Experimental support for the modular R interface was added. All python-modular examples have been ported to r-modular. The "send_command" legacy is no longer necessary; numbers can be used as such and don't have to be given as strings. All examples for R, Python, Octave, and Matlab have been converted to the new syntax. The command line interface has been resurrected and basic functionality was restored. The documentation was updated and a number of bugs have been fixed.

About: pdfposter allows you to scale and tile PDF images/pages to print on multiple pages. It works much like 'poster' does for Postscript files, but working with PDF, since sometimes poster does not like files converted from PDF. Changes: This release fixes and enhances scaling and rotation algorithms so all examples work as expected. It adds the options --help-media-names and --dry-run. The man page has been updated with more information about box sizes and a section about automatic scaling. Sample pictures have been added (mainly to be used as examples on the homepage).
About: AZR3-JACK is a port of the free VST plugin AZR-3. It is a tonewheel organ with drawbars, distortion and rotating speakers. The original was written by Rumpelrausch Täips. The organ has three sections, two polyphonic with 9 drawbars each and one monophonic bass section with 5 drawbars. The two polyphonic sections respond to events on MIDI channel 1 and 2, and an optional keyboard split function makes the bass section listen to the lower keys on channel 1. The three sections have separate sustain and percussion switches as well as separate volume controls, and the two polyphonic sections have separate vibrato settings. All three sections are mixed and sent through the distortion effect and the rotating speakers simulator, where the modulation wheel can be used to switch between fast and slow rotation, and the fast and slow rotation speeds themselves can be changed separately for the lower and upper frequencies.
About: tinyMAS is a multiagent platform that provides base concepts (such as kernel, message, yellow pages, white pages, and transport service) and extended concepts (such as environment, influence, and perception). It aims to provide an easy-to-understand and and easy-to-use platform dedicated for multiagent engineer/research courses. Changes: A major bug was detected in the agent's perception feature: the perceptions stayed unchanged when no object was around the perceiver.

Performance improvements on startup were made.
About: jpoker is a client for playing online poker which runs in a Web browser. It displays the list of poker tables, and when the user choses one, it is displayed in the browser. The user can join the game and play hands. It supports multi table tournaments. The poker server to which jpoker connects must implement a protocol compatible with http://pokersource.info/poker-network/. Changes: Playing a hand was implemented.
About: DVDStyler is a crossplatform GUI frontend to the DVD authoring and recording programs dvdauthor and growisofs. Changes: Several new features were added, such as drag and drop button creation and copying, single video frames in buttons, partially transparent buttons, audio in menus, manual palette selection, ISO size checks, and many more. Project files are now saved with relative paths.
About: Rsyncrypto allows you to encrypt a file or a directory structure such that they can later be synchronized to another machine using rsync. This means that local changes to the plain text file result in local changes to the cipher text file. rsyncrypto compresses the plain text file prior to encrypting it with gzip using the "rsyncable" patch, which is available from the rsync sources. Changes: A serious bug was fixed: when deleting an entire directory with --name-encrypt and --delete-keys, rsyncrypto (since 1.07) would leave a corrupt filemap behind. The "rsyncrypto_recover" tool was added, which fixes the corruption caused by the above bug.
About: Openchart2 is a simple charting and plotting library designed for incorporation with a variety of Java applications. The library can generate two dimensional bar, pie, radar, and scatter charts with customized titles, axis labels, legends, and colors. The simplicity of the library is its strongest feature. Openchart2 is a branch of the original JOpenChart library. Changes: This version implements significant bugfixes to the coordinate systems and their related calculations. A new interactive chart Swing component has been introduced to allow easier data exploration. Bugfixes have been included for the Dot Plot charting style introduced in version 1.4. New unit tests are now included in the distribution.
About: runit is a cross-platform Unix init scheme with service supervision; a replacement for sysvinit and other init schemes. It runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris, and can easily be adapted to other Unix operating systems. runit implements a simple three-stage concept. Stage 1 performs the system's one-time initialization tasks. Stage 2 starts the system's uptime services (via the runsvdir program). Stage 3 handles the tasks necessary to shutdown and halt or reboot. Changes: The default directory for services is now /service/, and no longer /var/service/. When installing runit on a system that should comply with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), neither /service/ nor /var/service/ should be chosen, but /etc/service/. It is recommended to create a compatibility symlink /service pointing to /etc/service in this case. This version additionally fixes the runsv program to properly handle service directories with ./log being a symlink to a directory on a different device, and slightly updates the sv program and the documentation.
About: Nuttx is a real-time embedded operating system (RTOS). It has a small footprint that is usable in micro-controller environments. It is fully scalable from tiny (8-bit) to moderate embedded (32-bit) systems. It also aims to be fully compliant to standards, to be fully real time, and to be totally open. Changes: This is an important bugfix release. This release incorporates fixes to correct critical list handling errors in task shutdown logic: one in timer deletion logic (timer_delete.c) and one in stream logic (lib_init.c). This release also includes support for the ZiLOG EZ80Acclaim microcontrooler (EZ80F91 chip) and configurations for the ZiLOG z8f64200100kit (Z8F6423) and ez80f0910200kitg (EZ80F091) development kit.
About: Indywiki is an application that offers different ways of visually browsing the collection of data contained by Wikipedia. Changes: HTML (replacing clear text) navigation via text links, in addition to image links and visual clues for distinguishing between native images (images in the current page) and non-native images (images in pages linked to and from the current page). The program is now faster and more customizable.
