The p2pd package can be used to build scalable content distribution networks (CDNs) for interactive video-on-demand (VoD) streaming. It can be used as a server, a cache, and a client, and used to construct both traditional CDNs and P2P-based CDNs that make use of client resources to stream video files. The system is network aware, attempts to make efficient use of the available resources, and adapts to server failures.
Changes: Initial version. Can be used to build CDNs, but this is a beta version and not suitable for production usage.

css-tools is a suite of tools for managing a large collection of CSS. It doesn’t contain an editor, but is intended to be used alongside an editor. Use css-tools to find out what needs doing, then use your editor to do it. At a later date, plugins for popular editors may be created so as to streamline the workflow. At present, css-tools contains one program, ‘cssi’, which parses and searches selectors.
Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement. This release contains one program, cssi, which parses and queries selectors in one or more CSS files. It can search by line, file, dup, tree-match, last, or rows. In tree-matching, it can apply prepension limits.

The trading shim is a command line interpreter with a DBMS backend to the socket-based ‘binary format’ API of the Interactive Brokers’ Trader Workstation. It uses mnemonic ASCII text commands to permit downstream clients to easily access several worldwide securities markets and exchanges (stocks, options, futures, bonds, and Forex) for "tick" data and history (intraday and EoD). It also allows clients to initiate and supervise trades of securities, manage accounts, and more.
Changes: This release adds the OrderLag configuration variable to control order pacing. This time delay works to avoid 2102 errors from the IB tws ("Unable to modify this order as it’s still being processed"). This release validates the shim for server-side API levels of 46, 47, and 49 (IB seems to have skipped 48), and fixes the version mismatch warnings for market data.

PHPLOT is a PHP graphics class for creating charts and plots. It works with PHP5 (but older versions can use PHP4). PHPlot uses the PHP GD extension to produce PNG, GIF, or JPEG images.

Labels, tick marks, plot legend, X/Y axes, and more are all configurable. Images can be imported as a background, multiple graphs can be drawn on one image, and images can be saved to disk or returned to a browser.
Changes: This release contains bugfixes and some new features, including a new horizontal bar chart plot type. An updated reference manual has also been released.

It features built-in syntax highlighting for 40+ languages, an embedded Lua scripting engine, macro recording and playback, multi-line regular expression search and replace, rudimentary ctags and calltip support, a flexible interface to external tools, and a built-in "message window" to capture the output of external commands such as compiler error messages, etc.
Changes: A couple of critical problems were fixed. Numerous other minor bugs and annoyances were also eliminated. There is a new "smart" indent option and a few other usability enhancements. The Scintilla control has been updated to 2.12. A source tarball and compiled executables are now available for Win32, Linux (i686/x86_64), and FreeBSD (i386).
