added which provides no timing data and no
duplicate lines on roll-up. The MPEG parser was
greatly improved, with better timing. Automatic
support for split files was added, so ccextractor
now loads the next file automatically. Many fixes
were made.
n2n (network-to-network) is a layer-two
peer-to-peer virtual private network (VPN) that
allows users to exploit features typical of P2P
applications at network instead of application
level. This means that users can gain native IP
visibility (e.g. two PCs belonging to the same n2n
network can ping each other) and be reachable with
the same network IP address regardless of the
network where they currently belong.
License: GNU General Public License v3
Changes:
Major code improvements were made. A bug that
prevented n2n from properly handling high traffic
load was fixed. A memory leak on the edge
application was fixed.
gumnut is a program to aid a group of people to perform cooperative decentralized decision making. The text or GUI client can create, moderate, and display proposals over a decentralized communication network (currently gnutella). Proposals are text files with a simple naming convention that uses the filename to describe field attributes (such as topic and geographical location). Popular proposals are found by searching on one or more of these fields and then calculating the support for each proposal based on the number of occurrences on the network.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The HTML template "~/.gnut_html_template" is now
created if it is not found on startup. A new
Desktop Entry menu launcher and icon were added in
the Applications->Internet menu for .deb based
systems.
I'm Cross! is a script that installs cross-compiler toolchains that target Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X on a developer's Linux workstation. Additionally, it installs cross-compiled versions of various libraries, such as wxWidgets, GTK+, FLTK, Allegro, PCRE, libxml2, zlib, and pthreads-w32, as well as installer (setup.exe) creation tools. This provides an easy way to set up a Linux workstation to simultaneously build Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X executables from the same source tree, and then to create installer programs for those executables.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The FLTK and wxWidgets cross-compiled toolkits are
now available for Mac OS X. Creation of Mac OS X
installers is now supported and demonstrated in
the sample programs. The makefile for the sample
programs has been greatly simplified to make it
much easier to understand how to build executables
and installers. The issue of lacking Objective-C
support in Mac OS X has been resolved. There have
been bugfixes.
SubLib is a library that eases the development of subtitling applications. It supports the most common text-based subtitle formats and allows for subtitle editing, conversion, and synchronization.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)

supported.
Quackey is a somewhat simplified but mostly
feature-complete version of the Perquackey anagram
word-building game. It runs in an xterm, Gnome terminal, or on the console. The entire game is contained in an 11kb
Bash shell script, and a big chunk of that is
instruction text and comments. It was written
as a "proof-of-concept," but the game is quite
playable (and fun) even in its preliminary release form. It
requires the author's "yawl" word list package or
a similar word list installed in /usr/share/dict. Playing Quackey is good practice for Scrabble and similar anagramming games.
License: GNU General Public License v3
Changes:
A script for "vulnerable" play was added. The
README documentation file was expanded.
Bazaar is a simple decentralized revision control system. Decentralized revision control systems give users the ability to branch remote repositories to a local context. Users can commit to local branches without requiring special permission from the branches that they branched from.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This is mostly a bugfix release, with a few more
performance improvements (for bzr diff and bzr
status with pending merges). Several performance
improvements were made, impacting bzr diff, bzr
status, and bzr pull. The conversion from
dirstate/pack branches into rich-root(pack) has
been improved, paving the way for rich-root-pack
to become the default format within the next few
releases. This will make interoperating with a
subversion repository more seemless, as bzr-svn
has required local repositories to be in
rich-root(-pack) formats. User and developer
documentation have both been expanded.

Jacobians. It also has some support for constrained non-linear least squares, allowing linear equation and box constraints to be imposed. Availability of LAPACK/BLAS is strongly recommended for carrying out linear algebra
computations.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Improved support for problems with zero measurement vectors. Memory retained among invocations of the linear solvers is released when levmar terminates. The option of compiling only the single or only the double precision functions of levmar has been added. A new error code 7 signaling infinite values in the function provided by the user has been introduced. A couple of minor problems in the line search procedure of box constrained optimization have been fixed. A detailed example on using levmar for fitting a non-linear model to noisy data has been added.
