This is a SLOW process, the user can speed it up by defining a rectangular area to key frame which reduces processing. Works well with with scenes with little movement, but produces a beam that flutters unlike the my other light saber filters.

YafRay 0.0.9
YafRay - create fantastic images and animations of a photorealistic quality more>>
Blender 2.42 is out and YafRay needed to be updated for working with it.
So we have new YafRay release, about a year later of 0.0.8 version. In fact, this is a maintenance release with few (but important) changes.
Greatest change is the project manager ;-) because Mathias Wein, a.k.a. Lynx, is at the head of YafRay development. Good luck, Lynx and thank you for getting involved in this insane project!
Enhancements:
- New SAH-kdtree for mesh objects, which is hopefully mature now. Improvements include:
- Smaller memory footprint
- More robust traversal, so holes in meshes should be history
- Faster ray-scene-intersection (depending on scene) due to new building algorithm (surface area heuristic and triangle clipping, preparing scene can take a bit longer though)
- Image loading code is more careful when trying to load files with unknown extension (crash-fixes)
- Added -p command line option for Linux to specify an alternative plugin path when rendering XML (yafray executable), YafRay also prints used plugin path and number of plugins loaded to console now.
- Changing number of threads with blender plugin now takes effect without restarting blender (blender 2.42 and later only)
- Fixed some minor bugs, code cleanups/updates for newer compilers and build-environments
Tachyon 0.93.4
Tachyon is designed to be a smart system of multiprocessor ray tracing which can work as a standalone program, or as a library within other programs. more>>
Tachyon 0.93.4 is designed to be a smart system of multiprocessor ray tracing which can work as a standalone program, or as a library within other programs. It supports almost any Unix-like system, Windows, MacOS-X, BeOS, and VMS, as well as several embedded systems and high end supercomputers.
Tachyon is written in C, uses POSIX threads and/or MPI for utilization of multiple processors, and can also run on uniprocessor machines. Tachyon is easy to port to new machines, and is fast, using ray tracing acceleration schemes to achieve good performance on very complex scenes. (It will handle scenes containing more than 1,000,000 objects on a fairly average computer)
Privoxy 3.0.14 Beta
Privoxy offers you a complete non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities which is designed for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk. more>>
Privoxy 3.0.14 Beta offers you a complete non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities which is designed for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk.
Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. It has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks. Privoxy is Free Software and licensed under the GPL2. Privoxy is an associated project of Software in the Public Interest (SPI).
Major Features:
- Can keep outgoing connections alive and reuse them later on.
- Supports tagging which allows to change the behavior based on client and server headers.
- Can be run as an "intercepting" proxy, which obviates the need to configure browsers individually.
- Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server and client headers.
- Can be chained with other proxies.
- Integrated browser based configuration and control utility. Browser-based tracing of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling.
- Web page filtering (text replacements, removes banners based on size, invisible "web-bugs", JavaScript and HTML annoyances, pop-up windows, etc.)
- Modularized configuration that allows for standard settings and user settings to reside in separate files, so that installing updated actions files won't overwrite individual user settings.
- Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files, and a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax.
- Improved cookie management features (e.g. session based cookies).
- GIF de-animation.
- Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection).
- Multi-threaded (POSIX and native threads).
- User-customizable HTML templates for most proxy-generated pages (e.g. "blocked" page).
- Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
- Improved signal handling, and a true daemon mode (Unix).
- Every feature now controllable on a per-site or per-location basis, configuration more powerful and versatile over-all.
- Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs removed.
Enhancements:
- The latency is taken into account when evaluating whether or not to reuse a connection. This should significantly reduce the number of connections problems several users reported.
- If the server doesn't specify how long the connection stays alive, Privoxy errs on the safe side of caution and assumes it's only a second.
- The error pages for connection timeouts or missing server data use a Last-Modified date in the past. Retry attempts are detected and Privoxy removes the If-Modified-Since header to prevent the server from responding with status code 304 in which case the client would reuse the error message.
- Setting keep-alive-timeout to 0 disables keep-alive support. Previously Privoxy would claim to allow persistence but not reuse the connection.
- Pipelined requests are less likely to be mistaken for the request body of the previous request. Note that Privoxy still has no real pipeline support and will either serialize pipelined requests or drop them in which case the client has to resent them.
- Fixed a crash on some Windows versions when header randomization is enabled and the date couldn't be parsed.
- Privoxy's keep-alive timeout for the current connection is reduced to the one specified in the client's Keep-Alive header.
- For HTTP/1.1 requests, Privoxy implies keep-alive support by not If the socket isn't reusable, Privoxy doesn't temporarily waste a socket slot to remember the connection.
- If keep-alive support is disabled but compiled in, the client's Keep-Alive header is removed.
- Fixed a bug on mingw32 where downloading large files failed if keep-alive support was enabled.
- Fixed a bug that (at least theoretically) could cause log timestamps to be occasionally off by about a second.
- No Proxy-Connection header if added if there already is one.
- The configure script respects the $PATH variable when searching for groups and id.

HyperEngine 2.4
Provides framework for Hyperprism, Ionizer, and Ray Gun. more>>
At its most basic level, HyperEngine provides input and output services to DSP plug-ins, acting as a shell that allows plug-ins such as Ionizer and Ray Gun to run independently of 3rd-party host programs.
HyperEngine offers several unique advantages, including fast drag-and-drop file editing, fast arrow-key navigation, non-destructive document based processing, real-time play-through processing (just like a hardware processor, no file acquisition required) on-the-fly processing during recording, as well as allowing you to run multiple effects concurrently for complicated multi-effect processing.
