Screenshot gWaei is a Japanese-English dictionary program for the GNOME desktop. It is made to be a modern drop-in replacement for Gjiten, with many of the same features. The dictionary files it uses are from Jim Breen's WWWJDIC project and are installed separately through the program. It features easy dictionary installation, support for searching using regular expressions, streaming of results so the interface is never frozen, and a simple interface that makes sense.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Testing has gone into making sure that NetBSD and Fedora work. Even though libgnomeui was dropped as a dependency, it was not removed from configure.ac, meaning the program was still compiling against it until now. There is rsync functionality for updating most of the installed dictionaries. This is much easier on the servers than reinstalling the dictionary completely. An Italian localization has been added. The rest of the Settings dialog has been translated into Japanese.

It includes the capacity to generate individualized "tokens", so that invitations can be issued to participants. It also has the capacity to set conditions on whether questions will display (branching), numerous question types, and a basic statistics function.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Support of ORed questions in conditions. A new condition designer interface. A default initial value for the slider question by using the slider_default question attribute. A new 'public statistics' feature. A min_answer feature for some question types. Translations for question attributes.

Changes:
The integer and unsigned property types were merged into a single long integer type which means a change to the property tables; this should hopefully be the last such change. A bug was fixed in the editor where empty constraints caused a crash. A bug was fixed in libtkquery where no rows were returned. A bug was fixed in the Analyser where bad property-getting caused a crash.

  Fri, 09 Jan 2009 22:47:54 +0100
Nagzilla was designed to be a Jabber relay "bot", in that it sits quietly in a room until it gets a message to relay to either a chat room or a person. The early work was based on several simple examples out on the Internet, but would just keep logging into a room every time the bot had something to say. It was made a daemon, which allows it to get Nagzilla alerts from various systems and event creators. Nagzillac (the client program) accepts any string input and makes it into a Jabber message. This should work with Google Talk (as it's Jabber-based), but that is untested.
License: GNU General Public License v2
Changes:
This release adds user change, a liblog-loglite-perl module to help with logging, and very simple logging. Some code has been replaced (array handling, etc.).

The DBIx::Perlish module provides the ability to work with databases supported by the DBI module using Perl's own syntax for the four most common operations: SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and INSERT. By using DBIx::Perlish, you can write most of your database queries using a domain-specific language with Perl syntax. However, the module is not intended to replace all use of SQL in your program. The DBIx::Perlish module quite intentionally neither implements nor cares about database administration tasks like schema design and management.
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
This release fixes another problem with multiple joins. It supports REs as a term.

  Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:57:27 +0100
libstldb4 is a C++ wrapper for the sleepycat db4 database. It uses the STL in the API where sensible, allows standard IOStreams for data access where sensible, e.g. getting the value of a key should be able to use an istream interface to allow simple partial value retreival, and moves the transaction parameter to be the last optional parameter or provides two versions of the same method for trans/nontrans. The API has been modified to use more standard types. Operator overloading is used to allow quick and dirty coding (mydb[ "key" ] = "value";) to set and cerr.

Screenshot deltasql is a tool to synchronize databases with source code, which helps to keep database evolution under control. While developing mid-sized or big applications, developers make changes to the data model that go along with changes to the source code. From time to time, branches of source code are done to stabilize the code that will go to production. A sort of data model branch is also needed. deltasql provides a simple way to collect all scripts that change the data model and means to handle data model branches. The deltasql server runs on Apache and is backed by MySQL.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release adds the ability to create a branch of branches. To create one, browse the "List Branches" page and chooses the Duplicate link. After that, the new duplicated branch can develop its own history, as scripts might belong to the old, to the new, or to both branches. In this version, if someone modifies a script, the modification date and username are recorded and displayed in the "List scripts" page.

  Fri, 09 Jan 2009 14:38:33 +0100
Screenshot Back In Time is a simple backup system for the GNOME desktop inspired by the "flyback project" and "TimeVault". The backup is done by taking snapshots of a specified set of directories. All you have to do is configure: where to save snapshot, what directories to backup, and when a backup should be done (manually, every hour, every day, every week, or every month). It acts as a "user mode" backup system. This means that you can backup and restore only folders to which you have write access.
License: GNU General Public License v2
Changes:
This release updates the Spanish and German translations, makes the .deb packages more Debian-friendly, separates the common and GNOME-specific files, and divides the backintime package into backintime-common and backintime-gnome. When you open the snapshots dialog more than once and make a diff, it will now make the diff on the file for the first dialog (or all previous dialogs), and then for the current one.

Screenshot clive is a command line utility for extracting videos from Youtube and other video sharing Web sites. It was originally written to bypass the Adobe Flash requirement needed to view the hosted videos. It is non-interactive, meaning it can work in the background while the user is not logged on.
