About: KDE3TO4 is a wizard implemented as a set of modular bash scripts to help users migrating from KDE3 to KDE4 by easily migrating settings for various applications from their old KDE3 settings directory to their new KDE4 settings directory. It requires that you keep the two directories in separate locations. The modular design makes it easy for anybody to add support for any application. On average, the amount of work for a given application is very little and the wizard takes care of integrating it into the overall process easily. Changes: The backend has been switched to KIOClient for better user-friendliness, desktop integration, and features. It includes an experimental new all_apps script that handles almost all applications, with blacklist and exception support to prevent breakage. It includes a script to migrate amarok1.x settings.

About: DashO Pro is a Java application obfuscator, optimizer, and size reducer. It performs a dependency analysis on the application, finding all necessary classes. It removes all unused methods and fields, producing significant size reduction. Classes and methods can be renamed using the unique Overload-induction renaming algorithm. Byte code optimization, control flow obfuscation, and string encryption can also be selectively applied. It also includes tools for watermarking jars and decoding obfuscated stack traces. Changes: Eclipse integration: you can create, edit, and execute project files from inside Eclipse. A new "merge" output option. merge="false" allows cross jar/directory obfuscation and pruning while retaining the original packaging of the input classes. Command lines now support short and long option names. Reports use standardized report headings and section breaks. When copying a non-class, file the original date/time of the source file is preserved. You can add and remove exclusions for a jar in the class path by right-clicking on it and selecting Add/Remove Exclusions. There are various bugfixes.

About: phpMyID is a small, fairly lightweight, standalone, single-user Identity Provider for OpenID authentication. It comprises a single PHP script that can be used by one individual to run their own personal OpenID "IdP." The program requires no external libraries, and has very minimal requirements. It should run on almost any server that runs PHP 4 or 5. It requires no database, and does not access the file system beyond session handling. Changes: A weakness in the digest authentication method has been addressed. A few PHP "Notices" have been corrected. Paranoid mode ancestry checks did not work correctly in PHP4. The cancel URL did not have 'openid.mode=cancel' appended to it. Paranoid mode will not be invoked on checkid_immediate. The Suhosin incompatibility warning can now by bypassed.

The old problem on Windows where files with spaces in their path wouldn't open is finally fixed. An update checker informs users about new releases. Most known bugs are fixed.
About: The Appconf Library is a library responsible for managing the configuration data of other, bigger, standalone applications. It lets you read configuration files and feed your applications with required data. The library supports storing information in ini-like files and MySQL tables. Changes: Very simple support for error handling and reporting. More detailed documentation about using MySQL. A bug in short mysqlconfig::mysqlwrite(DBCONNECT *) and short mysqlconfig::mysqlread(DBCONNECT *) that didn't allow use of custom SQL queries has been fixed. A bug in struct DBCONNECT (bug id 4) has been fixed. Now dbc->info has a static block of memory assigned. If an SQL error shows up, this block will store a copy of that error message. There are a few other, minor fixes in other functions that allow better support for empty strings and NULLs as option values.
About: T3DevKit is a set of libraries and tools for TTCN-3 automatic CoDec generation and easy development of System and Test adapters (SA and TA).

It supports downloading a file from HTTP(S)/FTP and BitTorrent at the same time, while the data downloaded from HTTP(S)/FTP is uploaded to the BitTorrent swarm. Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while downloading a file like BitTorrent. Changes: This release adds HTTP gzip content encoding support, the ability to save a signature in Metalink as a file, the option to skip hash checking in BitTorrent seeding, and support for FTP servers that don't support the SIZE/REST command. A Bulgarian translation was added.
About: GTK, which stands for the Gimp ToolKit, is a library for creating graphical user interfaces. It is designed to be small and efficient, but still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces created. GTK provides some unique features over standard widget libraries.

New APIs were added for GIO, GObject, and GMarkup. Many bugs were fixed.
About: homest is a C/C++ library for robust, non-linear homography estimation. A homography (sometimes also called a collineation) is a general plane to plane projective transformation whose estimation from matched image features is often necessary in vision tasks. It computes a homography estimate that minimizes an appropriate non-linear cost function defined on matching points (currently either non-symmetric transfer error, symmetric transfer error, Sampson error, or reprojection error) and includes robust regression techniques for coping with outliers (i.e., mismatched point pairs). It supports the estimation of fully projective (8 dof) and affine (6 dof) homographies. Changes: This release has the ability to estimate affine homographies in addition to fully projective ones. A Matlab MEX interface has been added.
About: Patch Check Advanced (pca) generates lists of installed and missing patches for Sun Solaris systems and optionally downloads patches.
