Kinemac 1.8.0 is designed to be a beneficial and essential 3D Real Time Animation & Presentation Software for Mac OS X.
Major Features:
- It allows you to create your own professional 3D Animations with the simplicity of a 2D presentation tool. Just drag your images, texts, movies, songs, SVG and 3D OBJ files onto the Kinemac stage to get them into your animation.
- Kinemac also allows you to apply images and movies onto the ready-to-use objects like cubes, cylinders, spheres, tubes, pies, rectangles, disks... which you can easily animate by setting key frames.
- Also, it lets you quickly create 3D Text and 2D scrolling text (RTF and RTFD) with any kind of font, color, size, shadows, embedded images... A powerful animation control system based on Bezier curves allows you to carefully control any aspect of the movement such as translations, rotations, resizing, fading, speed, acceleration and deceleration of any object on the stage. The result is a professional and smooth animation which you can play in Real-Time/Full-Screen or export to a QuickTime movie file.
- Kinemac uses the latest technologies like the OpenGL engine, QuickTime and the Cocoa frameworks, making it the ideal application to create Advertising for TV, trailers for movies, video-clips, instant scrolling messaging to put "on air" in real time, video content for CD, DVD, web sites... Also it has been said "awesome" to illustrate concepts through 3D animations at conferences, schools and universities.
- Kinemac is for Mac OS X only.
Enhancements:
- Saving/Opening animations containing 3DS models is now x10 faster.
- Saving animations containing OBJ models creates a kmc file 3 times smaller.
- Optimization of the RAM memory usage at loading texture images (more memory available).
- Enabled multi-threaded execution of the OpenGL framework (fast rendering).
- Added the anisotropy correction (anti-flickering) when exporting to a QT movie or to a picture.
- When choosing the menu "Stage Window Only".

GlimmerBlocker is such an efficient application developed to solve the problems that other ad-blockers for Safari may get such as they are implemented as awful hacks: as an InputManager and/or ApplicationEnhancer more>>
GlimmerBlocker 1.4.2 is such an efficient application developed to solve the problems that other ad-blockers for Safari may get such as they are implemented as awful hacks: as an InputManager and/or ApplicationEnhancer. This compromises the stability of Safari and very often create problems when Apple releases a new version of Safari.
GlimmerBlocker is implemented as an http proxy, so the stability of Safari isn't compromised because it doesn't use any hacks. It is even compatible with all other browsers. You'll always be able to upgrade Safari without breaking GlimmerBlocker (or waiting for a new release); and you'll be able to upgrade GlimmerBlocker without upgrading Safari. This makes it much easier to use the beta versions of Safari and especially the nightly builds of WebKit.
Because GlimmerBlocker doesn't hack Safari, there is a few things it isn't able to do: adding a block by right-clicking an image, stopping pop-unders, and filtering cookies from 3rd party sites. But you win a lot in stability, and GlimmerBlocker provides much easier methods for adding your own modifications to pages by adding css rules, pieces of Javascript or by transforming the html before Safari receives it.
So I'll hope you're happy with the tradeoff. If you can program in Javascript you'll be able to add your own modification to pages. See the included filters for examples, e.g. adding a download link to YouTube.
Enhhancements:
- Reduced memory usage: GlimmerBlocker now uses less memory when using Snow Leopard (10.6) on 64-bit capable hardware
- Fix hang when opening the Sys Prefs Panel: Use short http timeout when testing if the java server is running or not, as the standard 60 sec timeout (times 3 tries) will hang the Sys Prefs Panel for a looong time.
MenuMeters 1.4b3
MenuMeters 1.4b3 is known as a set of useful tools for monitoring CPU, memory, disk, and network in MacOS X. more>>
MenuMeters 1.4b3 is known as a set of useful tools for monitoring CPU, memory, disk, and network in MacOS X. Although there are numerous other programs which do the same thing, none had quite the feature set I was looking for. Most were windows that sat in a corner or on the desktop, which are inevitably obscured by document windows on a PowerBook's small screen. Those monitors which used the menubar mostly used the NSStatusItem API, which has the annoying tendency to totally reorder my menubar on every login.
The MenuMeters monitors are true SystemUIServer plugins (also known as Menu Extras). This means they can be reordered using command-drag and remember their positions in the menubar across logins and restarts. MenuMeters is open source freeware released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Major Features:
- The CPU Meter can display system load both as a total percentage, or broken out as user and system time. It can also graph user and system load and display the load as a "thermometer". The menu for the CPU Meter contains several pieces of information I like to have a single click away (uptime, load average, open Activity Monitor.app, open Console.app).
- The Disk Activity Meter displays disk activity to local disks on the system (anything that is a IOKit BlockStorage driver). It is hotplug aware, and will show activity on FireWire and USB disks as they are mounted. The Disk Meter menu shows volume space details for local drives (it does not display mounted network volumes for speed reasons).
- The Memory Meter can display current memory usage as either a pie chart, thermometer, history graph, or as used/free totals. The Memory Meter menu shows a breakdown of current memory usage and VM statistics. The Memory Meter can optionally display a paging indicator light.
- The Net Meter can display network throughput as arrows, bytes per second, and/or as a graph. Both the arrows and the graph are scaled using a user-selected scaling factor and calculation. Scaling can be done on the basis of actual link speed reported by the network interface or peak traffic and can use one of several scaling calculations. The Net Meter menu shows current interfaces and their status. Interface information is gathered from the SystemConfiguraton framework and thus is Mac OS X network location aware
Enhancements:
- Fixed exception when upgrading 1.4b1 preferences.
Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.2 or later
- PowerPC or Intel based Macintosh (Universal Binary)
The Memory Meter can display current memory usage as either a pie chart, thermometer, history graph, or as used/free totals. The Memory Meter menu shows a breakdown of current memory usage andLicense:Freeware

Xiph QuickTime Components 0.1.9
Ogg Vorbis, Speex, FLAC, Theora plugins. more>>
Xiph QuickTime Components 0.1.9 is a perfect way for Mac users who want to use Xiph formats in any QuickTime-based application, e.g. playing Ogg Vorbis in iTunes or producing Ogg Theora with iMovie. Xiph QuickTime Components (XiphQT) is a set of QuickTime and Macintosh OS X plug-ins.
Major Features:
- Provides support for Xiph media compression and container formats.
- If you are an end user: installing XiphQT components is all you need to start using Xiph-formatted media files in a variety of applications - for example, listening to Ogg/Vorbis files in QuickTime Player or iTunes. The programming interfaces used in XiphQT allow the provided functionality to be available transparently to all media handling applications using QuickTime or OS X component mechanisms.
- If you are a programmer, you have built a Macintosh Core Audio or QuickTime-based application and would like to add Xiph formats support: most of the time there is hardly anything you will need to do to add support.
Enhancements:
- Reduced memory usage
- Fixed playback of HD content
- Fixed leaking memory when handling files containing Theora streams (#1379)
- Added code to make Ogg exporter work with iMovie '08

libtorrent 0.14.4
Free and open source C++ library that aims to be a good alternative to all the other bittorrent implementations around more>> Free and open source C++ library that aims to be a good alternative to all the other bittorrent implementations around
libtorrent is a C++ implementation of the BitTorrent protocol with the goals of being efficient and easy to use.
libtorrent is a C++ library that aims to be a good alternative to all the other bittorrent implementations around.
Although it comes with a working example client, libtorrent is a library and not a full featured client.
The main goals of libtorrent are:
- to be cpu efficient
- to be memory efficient
- to be very easy to use
libtorrent has been successfully compiled and tested on:
- Windows 2000 vc7.1, vc8
- Linux x86 GCC 3.3, GCC 3.4.2
- Mac OS X (darwin), (Apples) GCC 3.3, (Apples) GCC 4.0
- Sun OS 5.8 GCC 3.1
- Cygwin GCC 3.3.3
NOTE: libtorrent is licensed and released under the BSD-license.
Main features:
- trackerless torrents (using the Mainline kademlia DHT protocol) with some DHT extensions.
- support for IPv6
- NAT-PMP and UPnP support (automatic port mapping on routers that supports it)
- piece-wise, unordered, incremental file allocation
- uses separate threads for checking files and for main downloader, with a fool-proof thread-safe library interface. (i.e. Theres no way for the user to cause a deadlock). (see threads)
- adjusts the length of the request queue depending on download rate.
- multitracker extension support (as specified by John Hoffman)
- supports files > 2 gigabytes.
- serves multiple torrents on a single port and in a single thread
- fast resume support, a way to get rid of the costly piece check at the start of a resumed torrent. Saves the storage state, piece_picker state as well as all local peers in a separate fast-resume file.
- HTTP seeding, as specified by Michael Burford of GetRight.
- piece picking on block-level (as opposed to piece-level). This means it can download parts of the same piece from different peers. It will also prefer to download whole pieces from single peers if the download speed is high enough from that particular peer.
- supports the udp-tracker protocol by Olaf van der Spek.
- queues torrents for file check, instead of checking all of them in parallel.
- supports http proxies and basic proxy authentication
- gzipped tracker-responses
- can limit the upload and download bandwidth usage and the maximum number of unchoked peers
- implements fair trade. User settable trade-ratio, must at least be 1:1, but one can choose to trade 1 for 2 or any other ratio that isnt unfair to the other party.
- supports an extension protocol. See extensions.
- supports the no_peer_id=1 extension that will ease the load off trackers.
- possibility to limit the number of connections.
- delays have messages if theres no other outgoing traffic to the peer, and doesnt send have messages to peers that already has the piece. This saves bandwidth.
- does not have any requirements on the piece order in a torrent that it resumes. This means it can resume a torrent downloaded by any client.
- supports the compact=1 tracker parameter.
- selective downloading. The ability to select which parts of a torrent you want to download.
- ip filter to disallow ip addresses and ip ranges from connecting and being connected
Enhancements
- connect candidate calculation fix
- tightened up disk cache memory usage
- fixed magnet link parser to accept hex-encoded info-hashes
- fixed inverted logic when picking which peers to connect to
- (should mean a slight performance improvement)
- fixed a bug where a failed rename_file() would leave the storage
- in an error state which would pause the torrent
- fixed case when move_storage() would fail. Added a new alert
- to be posted when it does
- fixed crash bug when shutting down while checking a torrent
- fixed handling of web seed urls that didnt end with a
- slash for multi-file torrents
- lowered the default connection speed to 10 connection attempts
- per second
- optimized memory usage when checking files fails
- fixed bug when checking a torrent twice
- improved handling of out-of-memory conditions in disk I/O thread
- fixed bug when force-checking a torrent with partial pieces
