IRC Bots, and a number of unique features, including
factoids, seen, dictionary lookups, current weather conditions,

enhancements. Internationalization was implemented
through Locale::Maketext, and a Pig Latin
translation is included. The SQLite database
engine is now used. Since this is the very first
CVS snapshot, there are missing features and extra
bugs.

Changes:
New syntax descriptions were added for Ada, GNU
Assembler, Oracle PL/SQL, SNMP MIB, Texinfo, TeX,
PHP, Tcl, Metafont, Patch (diff output), and
generic config files. Changes are not glued
together in undo if there was a pause between
them. Handling of unprintable wide characters was
improved. Wide character selection was made
available in the string input dialog. Search
pattern corruption when searching for $x was
fixed. The .cpp and .cxx extensions were added for
the comment-line function. Text formatting and
some text operations were fixed for wide
characters. Compilation on some systems was fixed.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News BibORB is a set of PHP+XML+XSLT scripts to manage BibTeX bibliographies using any Web browser. It is possible to manage BibTeX bibliographies using only the interface (creation, edition, and update of references), to just display a bibliography, or to share it with people on your local network. It is designed to ease the management of electronic versions (.ps, .pdf, etc.) of papers referenced in the BibTeX file. Electronic papers
are directly accessible via the HTML interface. Biborb provides classification using groups, and a search function (by groups, author, keywords, or words in the title). It also offers an edition mode to add or modify entries.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This version brings support for user preferences,
the ability to export bibliographies in RIS,
DocBook, or HTML, the ability to sort displayed
references, and "shelf mode". Bugfixes were made.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News otl converts a text file written in a user-specified syntax to a second text file with user-specified markup. The default conversion is from a simple, readable text file syntax for outlines to XHTML. However, otl could be used for many types of conversions since the syntax of the source file and the markup used for the output can both be specified by the user. It can deal with more complex structures such as ordered and unordered lists (nested or unnested), add custom "headers" and "footers" to documents, etc.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
otl now processes documents containing multiple
ordered lists correctly, regardless of length or
nesting. The --debug flag can now be used with otl
and tag-remove to give verbose output. The
tag-remove script now cleans up the input file
(removing extraneous control-M characters, tabs,
and spaces) and recognizes and removes XML-type
tags that span multiple lines.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News HAproxy is a high-performance and highly-robust
TCP/HTTP load balancer which provides cookie-based
persistence, automatic failover, run-time
regex-based header control, advanced logging
contents to help trouble-shooting buggy
applications and/or networks, and a few other
features. Its own event-driven state machine
achieves 10,000 hits per second on modern
hardware, even with thousands of simultaneous
connections. It currently lacks SSL and
keep-alive, both of which are planned.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
HTTP/303 redirection was added. Regex syntax
checking in the configuration parser was improved
to avoid trouble at runtime. FD_SETSIZE was
configured to 65536 by default on Solaris because
several users got hit by the default limit of 1024
fds. Solaris users are invited to either upgrade
or recompile their current version to avoid being
hit by this low limit.

License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The main focus of this release is to correct the
oversight that prohibited re-use of cached moves
in the reversi extension. This caused enormous
memory usage, but has now been corrected. The AI
will no longer waste time searching the tree for
the case when only one move is available.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News The LibXDiff library implements basic and yet complete functionalities to create file differences/patches to both binary and text files. It uses memory files as file abstraction to achieve both performance and portability. For binary files, it implements (with some modification) the algorithm described in "File System Support for Delta Compression" by Joshua P. MacDonald. For text files, it follows directives described in "An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and Its Variations" by Eugene W. Myers. Memory files used by the library are basically a collection of buffers that store the file content.

Changes:
A bug in the mmfile seek function was fixed, and
binary patching performance was considerably
improved.
