CarvFS is a user space FUSE filesystem aimed at computer forensic tools that process disk and/or memory dump images or other large data files. The filesystem allows CarvPath-aware tools to use CarvPath annotations as a way to designate partitions, files, alternate streams, processes etc. within a disk or memory image as a string, making them available trough the filesystem as a pseudo file that can be handed to other tools. This removes the need to copy the information out of the disk image and reduces storage requirements.
Changes: This release adds a new CarvFS module for mounting raw local block devices intended for triage tools and applications.

rsstool is a tool to read, parse, merge, and write
RSS (and Atom) feeds. It has some other functions
built-in like text, HTML, or property file output,
or templates with custom tags to insert RSS feeds
into pages that could be uploaded to a server that
supports only static HTML.
Changes: This release adds a new field to the database structure,
rsstool_media_duration (if rsstool finds durations for some kind of
media in the feed, it will parse them into rsstool_media_duration, in
seconds), –enc=ENCODING, which overrides the encoding specified in the
RSS header (useful for some broken RSS feeds), –filter=LOGIC, sometimes
referred to as implied Boolean LOGIC (use this to remove items from the
RSS feed before output), –nosort, to not sort items by date (on by
default), –parse=FILE|URL to generate an RSS feed from a random HTML
document, some code cleanups and fixes, support for Atom 1.0 feeds (they
worked before, but now it says so in the usage, too), and xmlget as a
download on the Web site (accesses XML files using the XPath syntax). It
deprecates the –joomla and –dragonfly options (replaced with scripts
in contrib/) and –sqlold (and support for the other old database
structures). It removes the –curl option (it is always the default now,
if libcurl is available) and the –wget option (you may want to rely on
the curl support or use wget from a script instead).

acgtools is a driver for the ACG HF MultiISO RFID reader written
entirely in Python and including several developer tools, including
EEPROM backup/edit/restoration for enabling some of the more exotic
features supported by this hardware. There are also sample applications,
notably an e-Passport reader.
Changes: This release removes the dependency on hal/dbus for device detection
(when hal is not available, acgtools falls back to using a configuration
file), updates the e-passport example application to decode facial image
data and save that to a file, and includes support for retrieving a REQA
answer on tag selection if this option is set in the EEPROM.

Jodd is general purpose Java utility library. It enriches JDK with many powerful and feature rich utilities. Jodd helps with everyday tasks and makes code more robust and reliable. Special attention is put into creating code that is reusable and as fast as possible while still keeping it compact (under 500 KB). Jodd Wot is a bundle of lightweight application frameworks, under 300 KB. It was designed following the CoC, DRY, and SCS principles.
Changes: This is one of the most important releases, since all Jodd frameworks have been used in production together. As a result, several bugs were fixed, some important changes were made, and more power was added in the framework.
