It is implemented as a C++ library (libmodell) and a command-line interactive interpreter for testing and rapid development, and includes modules for diverse tasks such as math, strings processing, interaction with the operating system, and others.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:Simple Makefiles are used again instead of GNUautoconf/automake. Dynamic modules (.so) wereimplemented. Loading of source modules (.modell)was implemented. The environment variablesMODELL_MODULEPATH and MODELL_MODULES were added.

  Gujin is a PC boot loader which can analyze your filesystems. It finds the Linux kernel images available, as well as other bootable partitions (for *BSD, MS-DOS, Windows, etc.), and displays a graphical menu for selecting which system to boot. Because it understands the structure of Linux kernel images, Gujin does not need LILO and can even load ELF kernels. There is no need to execute anything after making a new kernel: just copy the kernel image file into the "/boot" directory. Gujin is written almost entirely in C with GCC, and it fully executes in real mode to be as compatible as possible.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:This version solves a problem with the VESA lineargraphic menu and Intel BIOS. Real disk BIOS numberswitching is done to boot Windows XP with a USBthumb key. Problems of time-offset on the displaywere fixed. The generic kernel parameterroot=/dev/sd* (default) or root=/dev/hd* can beused to specify the namespace to use for rootautodetection. Two "tiny" targets, namedtinyusb.bin and tinycdrom.bin, were added to loada Linux kernel (or a *.kgz file) from USB or CDROMwithout user intervention. A check is done to seeif the target device is mounted. More bugs werefixed.

  Ctalk provides object oriented programming features, like classes, methods, operator overloading, and inheritance to otherwise standard C programs. You can use only a few objects and classes in a program, or you can write programs entirely in ctalk. The package provides a translator from ctalk source code into C for compilation and a library that provides run-time support for class objects. The preprocessor, ctpp, is also available separately, and the package includes sample programs and documentation. License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:This release adds improvements in the template APIto the compiler's C libraries, as well asimprovements in complex expression parsing,several bugfixes, and expanded documentation.

  Hotwire is a Python-based, object oriented, cross-platform command execution shell. Hotwire is not a terminal emulator, nor is it something you can set as your Unix "login shell". Instead, Hotwire unifies the concepts of shell and terminal and can natively do about 80-90% of what one would normally do in a terminal and shell; for the rest, Hotwire can embed VTE. Hotwire's object-oriented nature is influenced by Windows PowerShell. Hotwire provides a modern command interface for developers and system administrators to interact with the computer.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:Some system commands were changed to open in a newterminal window which does not close when thecommand exits. Often you want to see the finaloutput of the command after it exits. Examplesinclude "sudo" and "su". Complete commands areonly removed after they've been viewed. Commandoutput is significantly faster. UID/GID lookupsare cached, which speeds up file listings.

  The Kent Retargettable Occam Compiler is a multi-platform Occam 2.1 compiler that is designed to allow the Occam programming language to be used on non-Transputer platforms. Extensions from a subset of the Occam 3 specification and from pi calculus have been added over time. As a result, the version of the language supported by the compiler is also sometimes referred to as Occam 2.5 or Occam-pi.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:A major code rewrite was done, breaking lots ofcode and fixing other portions.

  Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.License:GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:The speed and functionality of the graphical userinterface has been greatly improved, with a zoomfeature and full transparency support under MSWindows. The intersections routine was fixed. The2D and 3D graph routines were improved. Degenerate3D reference vectors are now handled. A marker dotroutine was added. A history(int n=1) function canbe used to return the interactive history. Localebugs were fixed. A string[] split function wasadded. Installation, uninstallation, anddiagnostics under MS Windows were improved. Theoutput(s,update=true) function was fixed.
