About: ReleaseForge is a GUI application designed for project administrators and release engineers of projects that are hosted at SourceForge. It is intended to make it easier and faster to create a new release and edit existing releases rather than using the SourceForge Web interface. It streamlines the release effort by prompting you for information regarding your new release (version info, change log, release notes, files to include, etc). It then seamlessly negotiates with the SourceForge Web server, creating your release, posting your release notes/change log, uploading your files to the SourceForge FTP server, selecting the files for inclusion in your release on the SourceForge Web server, updating the file attributes of each of the files and then, if appropriate, notifying monitoring users of the new release. Changes: This version fixes some UI related bugs, including properly setting the focus on the release name field, tab orderring issues in a number of dialogs, and a fix for the limitation on the number of characters in a SourceForge project news subject (was 30, now 60). Additionally, the resize algorithm for the release wizard file table has been reimplemented to address display problems.
About: Exiv2 is an EXIF and IPTC C++ library that makes reading and writing Exif and Iptc metadata easy. It provides full Exif makernote and thumbnail support. The Exiv2 command line utility prints Exif and Iptc metadata including Makernote tags in various formats, adjusts Exif timestamps, renames images according to the Exif timestamp, extracts and inserts Exif and Iptc metadata and JPEG comments, or deletes the thumbnail or a specific type of metadata from an image. Changes: This release introduces extensive design changes in the library, support for additional makernotes from Olympus, Panasonic, and Sony, and updated Canon and Nikon makernotes.
About: AltioLive Studio enables users to quickly build interactive rich client front ends to complex Web based applications. Included are a Visual GUI builder, a backend integration tool, and other development tools, which allow developers to build the interface for their applications quickly, remotely, and without touching an XML or Java editor, so that they can get on with developing the business logic on the backend. Changes: Traffic lighting in lists now works again. Other minor bugfixes were made.
About: System Configuration Collector Server generates summaries of scc-data sent by clients. It offers a Web interface that supports searching the snapshots and the logbooks of the systems. It also supports comparing (parts of) the snapshots of systems. Changes: ssc-srv is available in Debian package format. The repackaging scripts now restart with ksh when POSIX-features are absent.
About: Simple Help Desk is an easy-to-use help desk Web application which supports many features, including the ability to upload files and associate them with a support call.
About: System Configuration Collector (SCC) is yet another configuration collector. It consists of a client and a server part. The client collects configuration data in a structured snapshot, compares the new snapshot with the previous one, and adds differences to a logbook. Then the snapshot and the logbook are converted to HTML for local inspection. Optionally, the data can be sent to a system running the server software. On the server, summaries of the data are generated, and search/compare operations on the snapshots and logbooks are available via a Web interface. Changes: scc is now available in Debian package format. Some extensions for Debian have been added. The configuration of Apache is added to the snapshot when the name of the daemon is apache2. Handling of includes has been extended to deal with wild-cards. EMC symmetrix data was extended. Filesystem data for ext3 filesystems was added.

It is an extremely fast and scalable forum that can fulfill the needs of both small and large forum operators. Changes: A Brazilian Portuguese translation was added. The textarea for message posting may now be resized. The ability to set temporary bans was added. The performance of threaded topic view list rendering was improved. The PNG hack for IE was improved, and it is now done by PHP. An unread message indicator was added for collapsed forums. The message storage algorithm was improved. Many other feature improvenments and bugfixes were made.
About: ocBB (Open Concepts Bulletin Board) is a fork of the phpBB "Olympus" CVS which will strive to continue the phpBB traditions of easy modification, freedom, and usablity, and also to improve upon development speed. Changes: Warnings were added as a trigger for auto_group(). Multiple permissions problems were adjusted. Many missing language strings were added. Multiple security flaws were fixed. The ACP path is now customizable. Some more caching was added. A version checker was implemented in ACP. A privacy policy and terms of service were added. A converter from phpBB2 was included.

About: Tiled is a general purpose tile map editor. It's built to be easy to use, yet it is capable of catering to a host of varying game engines, whether your game is an RPG, platformer, or Breakout clone. Tiled supports plugins to read and write map formats other than its own map format. Changes: A few requested features were implemented, such as a checkerboard background for the tileset palette, layer locking, support for .tmx.gz map files, and selection improvements. Some fixes were made, including a fix for loading tilesets in GIF format.

Changes: Changes and enhancements include a JSP Tag Library interface, an extensible XML interface, and the ability to output to SVG as well as PNG and PDF. Lines, bars, or any other type of data may be combined on the Axes Graph and plotted against up to four axes. Logarithmic and "Gap" axes were added for plotting large ranges of data. A full 3D engine is used to render graphs in shaded 3D, and allows them to be rotated to any angle.
About: DB Solo is a powerful database development and management tool for developers and DBAs. It has an intuitive user interface that allows you to explore and manage your database objects as well as execute ad-hoc queries. It supports Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, DB2, Solid, and MS SQL Server.

Metropolis was modeled after Citydesk, but is 200 times faster in building your site. Changes: Many improvements were made. The parser was completely rewritten, and numerous script functions were added. Changes to the preferences now take effect immediately and no longer require Metropolis to be restarted. The documentation was greatly improved and extended with new templates to improve readability. Some of the most frequently used functions were rewritten to improve execution speed. The way files and scripts can be imported into the template was changed. More efficient caching was added. Handling of the GUI is generally faster.
About: Tilda is a console application taking after such classic first person shooters as Quake, Doom, and Half-Life. It is a console with the ability to slide off of and onto the the screen when the user needs it with the click of a button. Changes: Major bugfixes and feature enhancements were made. xbindkeys is no longer needed, so be sure that it (or another similar program) isn't catching they key you want to use to bring Tilda down. A right click menu was added so preferences can be changed while tilda is running. Everything but the key binding can be configured without restarting. Each Tilda instance now has its own config file. The -T option has been deactivated, and now does nothing.
About: The Easysoft Firebird ODBC Driver is an ODBC 3.5 driver for the freely available Firebird Database. It is compatible with Firebird's 1.5 release. It is also compatible with the unixODBC Driver Manager. Changes: This release supports databases from Firebird versions 1.0 through 1.5.
About: openMailAdmin is a little administration interface to every complete IMAP mail server daemon. It supports every feature IMAP provides, and fits in most MTA configurations. A key feature is the non-standard, generic administration hierarchy which not only seperates "normal users" from "administrators", but enables the mailserver-master to create instances between them. You will be able to let other users create their own sub-users and thus either share a single mail server between different organizations or project your company's employee structure. It excels with features such as regex addresses and folder ACL management. Changes: A workaround was added for Cyrus' "empty ACL name" bug. Output was transformed to XHTML.
About: ALIAS is a French text-to-speech project. Its supports only French. Parsing includes a dictionary to allow users to add their own definitions (lexemes / phonemes). Changes: A generic GNU-style installation system (autoconf/automake) has been implemented.
