Enhancements:
This update corrects two small but significant problems pointed out by by users.
- The filetype autotyper was changed to provide support for properly typing Stuffit file segments rather than typing them as Stuffit archives as was previously happening.
- A second UU decoder was also added (user selectable) to allow proper decoding of multipart encodings in which the last line of uu data in one segment is not separated from the header data of the next article. A blank line may be required there under message handling RFCs (I have not yet checked) and in any case is customary. The new decoder works even without that blank line present, but loses the ability to detect bad uu character data as a result (which the old decoder does well). Other popular decoders use the second method only while ignoring errors as can be seen by CRC checks of the resultant data. MNT now allows you to have a choice between the two methods.
- Error reporting options for Par file handling were also expanded on a test basis (see comments in documentation).
Pius 2.0.3
Allows you to quickly and easily sign each UID on a set of PGP keys more>> Allows you to quickly and easily sign each UID on a set of PGP keys
Pius is a free and open source tool designed to take the pain out of the sign-all-the-keys part of PGP Keysigning Party while adding security to the process.
Pius makes signing all the UIDs on all of the keys at a PGP Keysigning party much simpler. It prompts for verification fingerprints, and then signs each UID on each key separately and PGP/Mime encrypt-emails them to their recipient.
If you are not familiar with PGP keysigning parties you may want to reference my PGP site - particularly the signing page. Post party you need to, at a minimum, sign the keys of everyone who was present at the party and had sufficient ID. You then need to get those signed keys back to their owner.
That can already be time consuming, but preferrably, you want to verify the identity in each UID, which means verifying the email addresses.
There are a few ways to do this, but one of them is to sign each UID on the key individually (which requires import-sign-export-delete for each UID), encrypt-emailing that key to the email address in the UID. This can be incredibly time consuming.
Thats where Pius comes in. Pius will do all the work for you - all you have to do is confirm the fingerprint for each key.
Pius will then take care of signing each UID cleanly, minimizing the key, and using PGP/Mime email to send it, encrypted, to the email address in the UID.
Enhancements
- Fixes a typo in 2.0.2 which prevented proper error reporting when a key didnt have an encryption subkey (PIUS would raise an uncaught exception instead of reporting the error and moving on).
PNGPress 1.1.1
An easy to use PNG optimizer. more>> An easy to use PNG optimizer.
PNGPress is a frontend for OptiPNG. PNGPress takes one or more image files and squeezes every last kb out of them, without "losing" any data. Just drag your images onto the PNGPress icon, and away it goes.
PNGPress is also able to automatically backup your original images, and allows you to establish the compression level yourself.
Enhancements
- Fixed an issue with spaces in file and folder names.

FFTW 3.2 Alpha 3
C library that will help you compute the Discrete Fourier Transform more>> C library that will help you compute the Discrete Fourier Transform
FFTW is a C subroutine library for computing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions, of arbitrary input size. FFTW will compute the DFT in both real and complex data (as well as of even/odd data, i.e. the discrete cosine/sine transforms or DCT/DST).
Main features:>
- Speed. (Supports SSE/SSE2/3dNow!/Altivec, since version 3.0.)
- Both one-dimensional and multi-dimensional transforms.
- Arbitrary-size transforms. (Sizes with small prime factors are best, but FFTW uses O(N log N) algorithms even for prime sizes.)
- Fast transforms of purely real input or output data.
- Transforms of real even/odd data: the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and the discrete sine transform (DST), types I-IV. (Version 3.0 or later.)
- Efficient handling of multiple, strided transforms. (This lets you do things like transform multiple arrays at once, transform one dimension of a multi-dimensional array, or transform one field of a multi-component array.)
- Parallel transforms: parallelized code for platforms with Cilk or for SMP machines with some flavor of threads (e.g. POSIX). An MPI version for distributed-memory transforms is also available, currently only as part of FFTW 2.1.5.
- Portable to any platform with a C compiler. Documentation in HTML and other formats.
- Both C and Fortran interfaces.
Enhancements:
- Performance improvements for sizes with factors of 5 and 10.
- Documented FFTW_WISDOM_ONLY flag, at the suggestion of Mario Emmenlauer and Phil Dumont.
- Port Cell code to SDK2.1 (libspe2), as opposed to the old libspe1 code.
- Performance improvements in Cell code for N < 32k, thanks to Jan Wagner for the suggestions.
- Cycle counter for Sun x86_64 compiler, and compilation fix in cycle counter for AIX/xlc (thanks to Jeff Haferman for the bug report).
- Fixed incorrect type prefix in MPI code that prevented wisdom routines from working in single precision (thanks to Eric A. Borisch for the report).
- Added make check for MPI code (which still fails in a couple corner cases, but should be much better than in alpha2).
- Many other small fixes.

Y Speak
YSpeak is a free computer program for speech-disabled users more>>
At its simplest, YSpeak will speak typed input, in any one of 25 different voices. Both male and female voices are provided. As the user types, YSpeak will speak the typed text either word-by-word, by line, by sentence, or when requested by the user. YSpeak will display the input text in any font, size, style, or color.
To allow someone else to read the text, YSpeak can also display the text inverted at the top of the screen, so that with the iBook display folded back, someone sitting opposite the user can read the text as it is input. To allow for a limited viewing angle, the text can also be displayed in negative.
YSpeak has two user-selectable built-in Dictionaries, one of the 1000 most-commonly used words in the English language, and one of over 25,000 words. In either Dictionary, as soon as the user types the first two letters of a word, YSpeak will invoke the Dictionaries to look up words starting with those letters, and display possible words in a separate window. The user can then select the word from this list to save typing the whole word.
YSpeak also tracks words as they are entered, and will attempt to predict the next word when one is entered. In doing this, it learns from the user.
YSpeak also has 5 separate word lists, each of which allows up to 35 words to be entered by typing a single key. Changing key lists is again invoked with a single key.
Drive Health 1.0 rc
Drive Health is a widget designed to check the health of your hard drive more>>
Know before your drive fails that there is a problem! Using a utility from the smartmontools project, this widget gathers and shows your hard drives vital stats and a thumbs up (or down!) on the overall health.
As far as I know, this only works with internal ATA hard drives (which nearly all Macs have).
Unssh 1.3
Easily delete entries from OpenSSHs known_hosts files more>> Easily delete entries from OpenSSHs known_hosts files
Unssh provides an easy and fast way to delete entries from OpenSSHs known_hosts file. This is a simple automation of the things normally done by the user when having an "offending key" in his/her known_hosts file caused by a changing host key of the destination.
System requirements:
- Bash 3.1.16
- Grep 2.5.1
- Awk 3.1.5
- Sed 4.1.4
Enhancements
- This is a bugfix release. There was a problem with the ssh-keygen backend, silently not removing entries from the known_hosts file due to incorrect invocation of the internal function.

FurthurNet 1.7.5b
FurthurNet is a tool to share legal-live music from approved band list. more>>
Second, The Furthur Network is a purely a volunteer project which utilizes open source code freely available at sourceforge.com. As long as "kind folks" continue to jump on the bus, the Furthur Network will never go away, because there are no significant costs involved with continuing.
Third, the Furthur Network and the application, "FurthurNet" is not FTP or an FTP replacement. FTP speeds are just not possible with FurthurNet due to its inherent design and resource usage. The speed in which you download at depends on a couple of different factors.
Enhancements:
- Added an installation wizard to help first time users
- Added font and color selection and other enhancements to chat, and fixed several display bugs
- Fixed several bugs that prevented filesets from completing/sharing when the user upgrades to JRE 1.5
- Changed the way that Furthur reports band-name only search results -- it will now report all active shares that match the search, even if the user hosting the files has no open slots (i.e., the download will not start immediately)
- Improved the connection/disconnection code so that users wont appear as "ghosts," or be added incorrectly to the "peak uploaders" column as often
- Fixed a bug that prevented Furthur from automatically reconnecting to the network if the users Internet connection went dead
- Revamped the help dialogs and error messages, added tooltips, and generally make the user interface more helpful
- Re-arranged the preferences panel and added code to automatically find flac and metaflac, or to prompt the user to download the flac binaries, and added a check to prevent selecting FlacFrontend by mistake
- Added column headings and other labels for using the clients features
- Moved OS X menus to the client instead of on the system menu bar due to bugs with Apples JRE that will hopefully be corrected by the next release
Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.2 or later, Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2 or later, FLAC.

Bazaar 1.16 RC1 / 1.15.1
Free and open source application that adapts to the workflows you want to use Bazaar is a distributed version control system available under the GPL that reduces barriers to participation in your more>> Free and open source application that adapts to the workflows you want to use
Bazaar is a distributed version control system available under the GPL that reduces barriers to participation in your project.
Bazaar is designed to support Mac OS, GNU/Linux, UNIX, Windows. In summary, Bazaar gives you fast, distributed revision control that "Just Works", supporting renames of directories and files smoothly.
Bazaar is designed to maximise the level of community participation in your project.
Bazaar branches can be published on any web server, and uploaded over sftp, ftp, or rsync. If you want the fastest possible network performance, there is a smart server.
Bazaar supports flexible work models: centralized like cvs or svn, commit offline, enforced code review when desired, and automatic regression testing.
Decentralized revision control systems give people the ability to collaborate more efficiently over the internet using the bazaar development model and have many other advantages.
When you use Bazaar, you can commit to your own local branches of your favourite free software projects without needing special permission.
Main features:
Good performance:
- Bazaar status in a tree of 5,000 files takes just 0.5 seconds, so almost every open source project can get the advanced features of Bazaar without slowing down its developers. Bazaar is robust in the face of radical tree restructuring, saving you time when it comes to merging from your community.
Safe with your data:
- There have not been any data loss bugs in a Bazaar release in the past two years. Bazaar has a huge test suite that ensures that new file formats can be tested automatically. The development process follows best practice with code review of all core and community code landings.
Friendly:
- Bazaar "Just Works" (which is why the Ubuntu team chose it for their project). Bazaar has a natural feel, you can publish your code on any web server or use a custom server for performance. Bazaar has perfect support for renaming files AND directories, which means you can unleash your community and merge efficiently even from contributors who are radically restructuring the tree.
Free:
- Bazaar is available under the GPL v2 or later.
Easy to integrate:
- Bazaar is designed as a Python API with a plugin system, so it is easy to embed in your tools and projects and easy to extend or integrate with existing infrastructure. Whether you are managing your development, or keeping track of configuration files, or building a new content management system, Bazaar is a great choice if you like to work in Python.
System requirements:
-
Enhancements
Compatibility Breaks:
- Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so that the output of commands can be safely redirected. (Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
New Features:
- A new repository format 2a has been added. This is a beta release of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative. Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default in bzr 2.0.
- This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
- Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands and more concisely repacks the full history.
- If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches before the stacked-on branches. (See )
- --development7-rich-root is a new dev format, similar to --dev6 but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML. (Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
- mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
Improvements:
- --development6-rich-root can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server bugs with stacking and non default formats.) (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
- --development6-rich-root delays generating a delta index for the first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on bzr commit since each committed texts goes to its own group. For committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
- Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions, particularly when the latest development format is used. These operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include: branch in a shared repository (2X faster), branch --no-tree (100X faster), diff (2X faster), tags (70X faster) (Ian Clatworthy)
- Pyrex version of bencode support. This provides optimized support for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at bzrlib.bencode. bzrlib.utils.bencode is now deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
Bug Fixes:
- Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client. (Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
- Better message in bzr add output suggesting using bzr ignored to see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
- bzr pull -r 123 from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails. Also, the Branch.revision_history() API now works in the same situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
- bzr serve on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
- Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how RemoteRepository was handling fallbacks along with the _real_repository. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
- Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel)
- Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
- Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
- Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory. (Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
- Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a bug in the BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex smart verb. This is fixed in 1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex verb has been removed and replaced with a corrected BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16 verb. 1.15 clients will still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and bug-free) methods. (Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
- Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
- Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history. (Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
- The bzr diff now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has succeeded from the users perspective, no output is written to stderr or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
- Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a BzrDirFormat.initialize or BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex request. This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like PermissionDenied. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
Documentation:
- Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian. (Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev, Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
API Changes:
- Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
- bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar, ChildProgress, DotsProgressBar, TTYProgressBar and child_progress are now deprecated; use ui_factory.nested_progress_bar instead. (Martin Pool)
- graph.StackedParentsProvider is now a public API, replacing graph._StackedParentsProvider. The api is now considered stable and ready for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
- bzrlib.user_encoding is deprecated in favor of get_user_encoding. (Alexander Belchenko)
- TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk. DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
Internals:
- Remove weave.py script for accessing internals of old weave-format repositories. (Martin Pool)
Testing:
- The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
- The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
- The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
