It currently sports both a command-line and a PHP interface. It works with both the standard hierarchical trees and the new and fashionable tagged bookmarks. It was developed as a way to interface both representation systems. SRESI can use Del.icio.us, Mozilla, Opera, and XBEL bookmarks, and handles a few more exports besides. Directories and tags are used equivalently, and the final hierarchies are inferred from actual tag use. Changes: The missing paths bug has been fixed. The Tag interface was simplified. Tree and Portal have been fused into a Hierarchy functor. Trees can now distinguish between hint-based branches and free ones. Neither portal nor actual output use this at this time.

It features a rich and expanding world in which you can explore towns, buildings, plains, caves, and dungeons. You will meet NPCs and acquire tasks and quests for valuable experience and cold hard cash. Your character will develop and grow, and with each new level up become stronger and better. With the money you acquire, you can buy new items and improve your armour and weapons. You can also roam the world in search of evil monsters (and kill them). Changes: Semos is decorated for Christmas! Find Santa to get your Christmas gift. A features called 'grumpy' allows you to ignore messages from anyone but your buddies. Do /help to learn more. The cold winter has brought ice and air elementals, and they've taught the fire, water, and earth elementals to toughen up. A new skill is required to get past the lich lair.

It will scan Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files in addition to all kinds of text based data. Changes: A search capability (CLI) was added. Repositories can be partially scanned by defining start and/or end revisions. An existing index can be reused or a new one can be created on demand.

Software distribution, configuration, and operating system updates are made easy, including updates from one Linux release to another. It can also be used for content distribution on Web servers. It is most useful in environments with large numbers of identical machines. Some typical environments include Internet server farms, high performance clusters, computer labs, and corporate desktop environments where all workstations have the same basic hardware configuration.

It pulls code from source control repositories (CVS, Perforce, GNU Arch, Subversion, SVK, and Mercurial are supported), calculates inter-module dependencies, builds each module, and then generates HTML status pages, copies binary packages to Web/FTP server roots, and sends email status alerts. It is written with flexibility and extensibility in mind to make it easy to integrate with a wide range of development tools and languages. Changes: The SCM checkout process is rewritten so that failures in checking out a module do not cause the entire build engine to abort. Failing modules are skipped and SCM logs made available for inspection on the HTML status pages. Other minor portability/stability bugfixes are included, in particular for portability to non-Linux platforms.

It is designed to share multimedia files (audio and video) through the GeeXboX operating system, but can work with any UPnP media renderer or player. Changes: Support was added for XboX 360 dashboard Fall Update (.avi and divx now are supported). DLNA support is not enabled by default, as it is not mandatory. Some configure script fixes were made and support for cross-compilation was added. Network interface discovery on Mac OS X was fixed.

Furthermore, all colors of the statistics can be defined by the user. Webalizer Xtended also fixes several (security-related) bugs in the original Webalizer code and contains the "Geolizer" and "Apache mod_logio" patches to generate faster and more reliable geographic traffic statistics. Changes: Full IPv6 support was added. A typographical error in the German language file was fixed.

It opens small text boxes on the X display so that notes can be written and then left to be read later. Changes: Dutch and Slovak translations have been updated. Chinese (simplified), English (British), Finnish, and Korean translations were added. Some bugs with pads remembering closed state and location after closing were fixed. "On all desktops" support works better. This release also uses the status icon support in GTK+ and requires GTK+ 2.12.

It transmits segment IDs instead of file names and uses on-the-fly Blowfish-CBC encryption while being absolutely restartable with practically no loss of data already transmitted. Encrypted pak streams can be stored in intermediary regular files on untrusted hosts. Several stored pak streams, even truncated ones, can be merged for re-piping without decryption. Integrity is never checked. File offsets of any magnitude are supported via recompilation (the default width is 64 bits). Either UNIX 95 or UNIX 98 conformance is required and sufficient. Changes: The programs "pak" and "pakmerge" were modified to flush stdout before printing "segment done" messages to stderr. ("Paksplit" and "upak" already did this for output files.) This way, whenever the user sees a "segment done" message, she can be sure that even the last chunk of the segment was passed to the kernel via write().
