DB Solo is a powerful database development and management tool for developers and DBAs. It has an intuitive user interface that allows you to explore and manage your database objects as well as execute ad-hoc queries. It supports Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, DB2, Solid, PostgreSQL, and MS SQL Server. In addition to viewing and managing objects such as schemas, tables, indexes, views, tablespaces, users, roles, sessions, and stored procedures, you can view, edit, print, and export data from tables or the results of queries. You can also graphically view foreign key relationships.License:SharewareChanges:The Oracle Stored Procedure Editor and Debuggerwas added, as well as Stored Procedure editors forSQL Server and Sybase ASE. An export tool wasadded, which allows you to export an unlimitednumber of rows to a CSV, HTML, or SQL file.Support for Oracle 11g and SQL Server 2008 wasalso added.
Newsstar fetches news and posts it to a local news server: INN, s-news, and sn are supported. What makes newsstar special is that it can makemultiple simultaneous connections, not only to one server, but to several, supporting up to 10"threads". Before fetching each article, it checksthat it hasn't already been downloaded by anotherthread or in a previous session. It can also"pipeline" article requests to make better use ofavailable bandwidth. SSL is supported.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:The main change is that newsstar now uses POSIXthreading (pthreads) instead of separateprocesses.
jPersist is an extremely powerfulobject-relational database persistence API thatmanages to avoid the need for configuration andannotation; mapping is automatic. It uses JDBC,and can work with any relational database and anytype of connection resource. It uses informationobtained from the database to handle mappingbetween the database and Java objects, so mappingconfiguration is not needed, and annotation is notneeded. In fact, there is no configuration neededat all.License:GNU General Public License v3Changes:A problem that caused the following exception wasfixed: "jpersist.JPersistException: Column'a.column' not found. atjpersist.Result.getColumnValue(Result.java:1282)".
jWebApp is a Java-based Web applicationdevelopment framework that is specificallydesigned to satisfy the need for simple Webdevelopment. jWebApp is configuration free,straightforward, and extremely easy to work with.License:GNU General Public License v3Changes:A problem that caused the following exception wasfixed: "jpersist.JPersistException: Column'a.column' not found. atjpersist.Result.getColumnValue(Result.java:1282)".
Mauve constructs global multiple alignments ofrearranged genome sequences. It also provides aninteractive display of multi-species sequenceconservation and any annotated features in thosegenomes. It can be applied for sequence comparison of both finished or incomplete genomes in multiple contigs. Theresulting display is useful for identifyingfunctional chromosomal regions under selectivepressure and for performing ortholog assignmentbased on conserved gene order. Mauve writes globalalignments in eXtended Multi-FastA (XMFA) format,a phylogenetic guide tree in Newick format, andthe location of genomic islands. It identifies thebreakpoints of genomic rearrangement and canprovide a reduction of the genomes to a signedpermutation matrix suitable for inference ofrearrangement history.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:Sensitivity problems in progressiveMauve werefixed. A 64-bit Linux "waiting" bug was fixed.Memory usage of the default configuration wasreduced.
FCKeditor is an HTML/DHTML editor for ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, PHP, and JavaScript that brings to the Web much of the powerful functionality of known desktop editors like Word. It's very lightweight, and doesn't require any kind of installation on the client computer.License:GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)Changes:This new version removes a small annoyance withthe enter key, introduced with the brand newFirefox 3. Other minor bugs have been also fixed.
Python Audio Tools is a collection of audiohandling programs that work from the command line.These include programs for CD extraction, trackconversion from one audio format to another, trackrenaming and retagging, track identification, CDburning from tracks, and more. It supportsinternationalized track filenames and metadatausing Unicode. It works with high-definition,multi-channel audio as well as CD-quality. Trackconversion uses multiple CPUs or CPU cores ifavailable to greatly speed the transcodingprocess. Track metadata can be retrieved fromFreeDB or FreeDB-compatible servers. Audio formatssupported are WAV, FLAC, WavPack, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, M4A, and more. License:GNU General Public License v2Changes:An improved resampler and downmixer were added.Image handling bugs in ID3v2 tags were fixed. FLACencoding documentation was added.
ufdbGuard is a URL filter. The URL filter blocksaccess to sets of Web sites on the Internet and isdesigned to be used with the popular Web proxyserver, Squid. ufdbGuard also dynamically detectsproxy tunnels and blocks access. Themulti-threaded daemon uses a fast algorithm thatdoes 25,000 URL verifications per second on anIntel 2.8 GHz Xeon CPU. On a Conroe Core 2 at 2.4GHz, the speed is nearly doubled.License:GNU General Public License v2Changes:Five minor bugs were fixed and thirteen enhancements were made. The most important enhancements are a GUI based on webmin to manage the configuration options, SafeSearch for an additional 6 search engines, detection of more types of URL obfuscations, feedback by the installation procedure where the system start script is installed, and improvement of the performance of agressive HTTPS protocol checks. A new URL category has been made public. The "External Applications" category contains URLs of Web sites with Web-based document editors, spreadsheets, groupware, etc.
Policyd v2 (codenamed "cluebringer") is a multi-platform policy server for popular MTAs. This policy daemon is designed mostly for large scale mail hosting environments. The main goal is to implement as many spam combating and email compliance features as possible while at the same time maintaining portability, stability, and performance. Its features include detailed policy and group specification, access control, helo/ehlo checks (helo randomization prevention and RFC compliance), SPF checks, Greylisting, Quotas, and Amavisd-new integration.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:This is the first stable release.
P4A (PHP For Applications) a PHP5 RAD and object oriented PHP framework for building event-driven, stateful Web applications. It is based on Zend Framework and features tableless HTML, multiple databases, access key support, auto data type recognition, transparent AJAX, UTF-8, internationalization, and localization.License:Affero General Public LicenseChanges:All code was rewritten to be PHP 5.2 compliant.The PEAR framework was replaced by the ZendFramework. P4A is now fully certified to work withMySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQLite. Every userinteraction is now managed through an AJAX call,which reallyboosts the user experience.
HackerOS is a Linux distribution aimed atproviding a bootable CD or USB stick which comespre-loaded with tools such as nmap, sniffit,nbtscan, and even nikto. Currently, the systemuses a Gentoo-based live kernel to provide supportfor the most hardware.
