About: FunkLoad is a functional and load Web tester whose main use cases are functional testing of Web projects (and thus regression testing as well), performance testing, load testing (such as volume testing or longevity testing), and stress testing. It can also be used to write Web agents to script any Web repetitive task, like checking whether a site is alive. Changes: Recorder and test take care of JSF MyFaces tokens, which makes FunkLoad ready to record/play Nuxeo EP or any JBoss Seam application. There is CherryPy support and a few bugfixes.
About: Mozilla Thunderbird is a total redesign of the Mozilla mail component to produce a cross-platform, stand-alone mail application using the XUL user interface language. It has many new features, among them the ability to customize your toolbars the way you want them. a new look and feel with a large number of downloadable themes which alter the appearance of the client, and the ability to add UI extensions. Changes: Security issues with moderate to maximum severity were fixed.
About: GnuAccounting is an accounting and bookkeeping application. It interfaces with Moneyplex, Starmoney, Karm, and Winston, embeds OpenOffice.org and Firefox, and utilizes either HSQLDB or a separate MySQL installation. Changes: Some bugfixes. The start of support for an XML data exchange format (Open Business Data Xchange). A makefile. The start of HBCI (a German home banking standard) support. A new About window.
About: j-Interop is a Java Open Source library (under LGPL) that implements the DCOM wire protocol (MSRPC) to enable development of Pure, Bi- Directional, Non-Native Java applications which can interoperate with any COM component. The implementation is itself purely in Java and does not use Java Native Interface (JNI) to provide COM access. This allows the library to be used from any Non-Windows platform. It comes with pre- implemented packages for automation. This includes support for IDispatch, ITypeInfo, and ITypeLib. For more flexibility (in the cases where automation is not supported), it provides an API set to directly invoke operations on a COM server. Changes: A deadlock condition that came up when COM references were being added to the session and being dereferenced by the cleanup thread simultaneously has been resolved. Callbacks are now multithreaded. JIVariant has a fix to take care of unusually high arrays. A protocol error on Windows 2K3 servers has been resolved. The reference mechanism has been enhanced. The licensing has been changed to the LGPL 3.0.
About: SmokePing is a network latency monitor. It measures network latency to a configurable set of destinations on the network, and displays its findings in easy-to-read Web pages. SmokePing has support for distributed monitoring as well as for dealing with dynamic IP addresses. SmokePing uses RRDtool as its logging and graphing back-end, making the system very efficient. The presentation of the data on the Web is done through a CGI with some AJAX capabilities for interactive graph exploration. Changes: A taint check error has been resolved and the :sys_wait_h dependency removed.
About: phpMyAdmin is a tool intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. It can create, rename, and drop databases, create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields, execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields, create dumps of tables and databases, export/import CSV data, and administrate one single database and multiple MySQL servers.
About: Writer's World Maker (WWMKR) is software written for fiction writers. It allows the writer to write non-consecutively, in a scene based environment, have character development and tracking, and world development and tracking. This software is for the creation phase of writing. It is designed to help you get the story written and develop your characters and plot. Currently, WWMKR uses simple text editing. Other software should be used for spell checking, grammar, and formatting. Changes: This is a critical bugfix to repair the data file load problem.

It provides an easy-to-use, DSL-oriented API that makes creation and maintenance of GUI tests easy. It can be used with JUnit and TestNG. Changes: This release adds support for testing Java applets, termination of running GUI tests, and common-use component matchers. It has code cleanup for better extension of fixtures, as well as bugfixes.
About: RabbIt is a mutating, caching Web proxy used to speed up surfing over slow links like modems. It does this by removing advertising and background images and scaling down images to low quality JPEGs. RabbIT is written in Java and should be able to run on any platform. It does depend upon an image converter if image scaleing is on. The recommended image converter is "convert" from the ImageMagick package. Changes: A stack overflow problem has been fixed. BlockFilter has been updated to only allow a few Web pages. Some code cleanup has been done and a few bugs fixed.

About: phpLogCon is a Web front-end for syslog and other network event data. It provides easy browsing and some basic analysis. Data are taken from databases or plain syslog text files, so phpLogCon does not require changes to an existing logging infrastructure. Depending on the log data present, it can process syslog messages, Windows event log entries, and some more exotic things. Its troubleshooting support enables users to quickly find solutions to problems seen in the log data. Changes: The UserDB system was fully implemented. This is the next major milestone in the development of phpLogCon. The new UserDB System allows you to fully customize phpLogCon using an administrative interface and offers the following sub-features: Users, Groups, Sources, Views, Searches, and general options. Existing configurations can be imported into the user system using the convert.php script. The installer has an option to install the user system. Icons were added to all Topmenu entries, as well as into the Admin Topmenu entries. Stylesheets were improved.
