os-releases — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:00:37 +0000

libpng (PNG library) is a collection of routines used
to create and manipulate PNG format graphics files.
The PNG format was designed as a replacement for
GIF and, to a lesser extent, TIFF, with many
improvements and extensions.

MUSCLE 5.67

os-releases — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:48:06 +0000

MUSCLE (Multi User Server Client Linking
Environment) is an N-way messaging server and
networking API. It includes client-side networking
APIs for various languages, including C, C++, C#,
Delphi, Java, and Python. MUSCLE lets programs
communicate over a network via streams of
serialized Message objects. The included server
program ("muscled") lets its clients message each
other and store information in its server-side
hierarchical database. The database supports
flexible queries via hierarchical wildcarding, and
"live" updates via a subscription mechanism.

Release Notes: Minor bugs were fixed. Memory usage of the Message class was reduced a bit, better control over the zlib-encoding of outgoing compressed Message objects was provided, and a deprecated Queue method was removed (GetItemPointer()).

Clonezilla live-testing 1.2.12-11

os-releases — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:00:14 +0000

Clonezilla is a partition or disk cloning tool
similar to Symantec Ghost. It saves and restores
only blocks in use on the hard drive if the file
system is supported. For unsupported file systems,
dd is used instead. It has been used to clone a 5
GB system to 40 clients in about 10 minutes.

Release Notes: The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2012/Feb/03). The Linux kernel was updated to 3.2.2-1. The zh_CN.UTF-8 language files were updated. A -fsck-src-part-y option was added so that fsck can be run automatically when saving an image.

Yioop! 0.82

os-releases — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:00:11 +0000

Yioop! is a PHP search engine. Yioop! can be configured as either a general purpose search engine for the whole Web or it can be configured to provide search results for a set of URLs or domains. It supports indexing several file formats such as HTML, PDF, DOC, PPT, RTF, RSS, XML, SVG, PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF, and sitemaps. The Yioop! crawler can be deployed on one or many machines. On low-end hardware with cable Internet, four machines can download a million pages every couple of days. Crawling respects robots.txt including Crawl-delay. Yioop! crawls are stored in a Web archive format that is easy to move around. Crawling can be done on one machine and the results deployed elsewhere. Yioop! supports mixing of crawls. Yioop! comes with a search front end that can be localized as desired using a GUI. This GUI supports RTL languages. Management of crawls can also be done using this GUI. Yioop! can be configured in a straightforward manner to make use of memcache if available.

Release Notes: This release improved scalability by allowing multiple machines to maintain portions of the "to crawl next" queue. Query processing can also be split amongst machines, with different machines being responsible for documents of a given hash. Yioop! now supports mirroring of machines. Two word phrases as determined by an XML file such as Wikipedia URL dump can now be treated as a logical unit. The Yioop! model-view-controller framework has been made easier to extend and documentation for it has been added to the website.

Task Coach 1.3.7

os-releases — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:41:07 +0000

Task Coach is a simple todo manager to manage
personal tasks and todo lists. It grew out of a
frustration that well-known task managers, such as
those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not
provide facilities for composite tasks. Often,
tasks and other things to do consist of several
activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with
composite tasks.

Release Notes: This is a bugfix release.

DeltaQt 0.4.0

os-releases — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:41:02 +0000

DeltaQt is a cross-platform library of C++ classes and functions for parsing of DELTA (DEscription Language for TAxonomy) files, and is part of the Free DELTA initiative. Support for all major data-related DELTA directives is planned. Typesetting directives are beyond the scope of the project, and support for them is not planned. Support for RTF formatting within comments, notes, descriptions, etc. is planned. All data defined by supported DELTA directives (including comments and annotations) will be parsed into memory. Qt (core) is used extensively.

Release Notes: This release includes an additional DELTA dataset and additional support for text encoding. It supports the "meta-directive" *COMMENT @encoding <codec> to specify text encoding for the input files. The Myxomycetes dataset is encoded using IBM850 and the encoding "meta-directive" has been added to each of its input files to exemplify the @encoding feature. Additionally, basic validation is now performed by comparing the parsed data with the values defined by the Delta directives “number of characters”, “maximum number of states”, “maximum number of items” and “numbers of states”.

Fotoxx 12.02

os-releases — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:40:56 +0000

Fotoxx lets you navigate an image collection using a thumbnail browser and choose images to view or edit. Edit functions include brightness, contrast, color, white balance, tone mapping, red-eyes, sharpen, blur, noise suppression, smart erase, trim, resize, rotate, annotate, warp, art effects, HDR, HDF, stack, and panorama. Edit functions use movable curves and sliders. Feedback is live, using the whole image, with unlimited undo and redo. RAW files can be imported and edited with 16-bit color depth. Areas or objects can be selected using freehand draw, follow edge, and tone matching. Selections can be edited with adjustable blending. Selections can be cut and paste. You can add tags, dates, comments, captions, and ratings to images, and you can search using these criteria as well as file names. You can also define named collections of images, make slide shows, and view and edit metadata (EXIF etc.). Batch processing is available for rename, resize/export, CD/DVD burn, and add/delete tags.

Release Notes: Fotoxx has been converted to use GTK3 and Cairo. It will no longer build or install on older Linux releases lacking these libraries. Support for multiple top image directories has been added. The gallery thumbnail size is saved and restored across sessions. RPM packages are now built using Fedora and rpmbuild instead of alien. Two minor bugs have been fixed.
