ChronicDB applies dynamic database upgrades with zero database downtime and zero data inconsistencies. It can relocate databases on the fly, reorganize database schemas (partition, merge, relocate, rename, and generally update fields and tables, both horizontally and vertically), reverse schema changes, and preserve execution of unmodified legacy database applications alongside their new version, all without bringing either the database or the database application down. ChronicDB provides a virtualized environment that guards your data from unnecessary expansion and simplifies the change management process.
Changes: This version changes the internal naming of tables and procedures created by ChronicDB.

The Drizzle project is building a database optimized for Cloud and Net applications. It is being designed for massive concurrency on modern multi-CPU/core architectures. The code is originally derived from MySQL.
Changes: Continued work on logging statistics. A table has been added to the scoreboard that gives memory usage and size. print stack trace and stack dump have been removed. Crash and shutdown functions for use in testing have been added. See the blueprint for more details. FOREIGN KEY info is now put into the table proto on CREATE TABLE, no longer just passed to the engine. SHOW CREATE TABLE now uses the table proto. Packages are available for Debian/Ubuntu. Static instances have been removed from plugins. Continued code cleanup and various bugfixes.

Workrave is a program that assists in the recovery and prevention of repetitive strain injury (RSI). The program frequently alerts you to take micro-pauses and rest breaks, and restricts you to your daily limit. It currently runs on GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows (using GTK/Win32).
Changes: The activity insensitive breaks have been replaced by a ‘reading mode’. Audio can now be automatically muted during breaks. The Workrave applet is functional again on Windows 7. There are minor translation updates and bugfixes.

render_inheritable is a Rails 3 plugin that allows one to inherit or override single templates for controller hierarchies. With this gem, a template is searched in the current controller’s view folder (as usual). If it is not found there, the template with the same name in the view folder of the superclass controller is used. Finally, views and partials remain DRY.
Changes: This is a stable release for Rails 3.

Worker is a file manager for the X Window System with the classical two panel interface. It features a fully graphical configuration, while still allowing manual editing of the configuration file without the need to restart Worker. Any external program can be integrated easily into the GUI using buttons, hotkeys, and file type actions. Worker uses file recognition by file content or by filename extension (or both). Different actions with completely configurable commands can be assigned to each file type.
Changes: The bookmark manager now tracks the bookmarks opened to make a good suggestion when using find-as-you-type. The volume manager is now able to open and close the disc tray. The file viewer is asynchronous now and may be left opened. Many translations have been updated.

Lost Labyrinth is a rogue-like role-playing game.
It uses a Zelda-like graphics engine, and has high
replayability.
Changes: Spells have special successes and botches now, with a new sound and animated graphics. Spellweaving has been reworked. The increased cost is only applied to spells that profit from it. The spells also show if they are weavable. Looking around has been improved so that you see the field name "on the fly". Summoned creatures display the info button too, so you can see their stats. The summon spells display info about the creatures. Picking up stackables even if your inventory is full is working now. Scroll lore and free magic spells have their own section and icon in the spell selection screen.

subtle is a grid-based manual tiling window manager with a strong focus on easy but customizable look and feel. In comparison to other tiling window managers, subtle has no automatic tiling of the screen size in any way. Instead, windows are arranged according to positions inside of a grid. These positions are called gravities.
Changes: Many bufgixes and a new DSL for the config file.

PyQt is a comprehensive set of Python bindings for the Qt GUI toolkit.
Changes: This release adds QStringRef.__str__() and QStringRef.__unicode__() to the QString v1 API.
The destruction by Qt of internally constructed QObject instances is now automatically detected. A signal defined with pyqtSignal() can now be used with methods that make an internal call to QObject::connect(), e.g. QTimer.singleShot(). The –from-imports command line argument has been added to pyuic4, and the from_imports argument to PyQt4.uic.compileUi(). Support for Python v3.2 has been added. The Windows installers now include qcollectiongenerator.exe and qhelpgenerator.exe.
