jSieve is a Java implementation of the Sieve mail filtering language defined by RFC 3028. Sieve is an extensible mail filtering language. Its limited expressiveness (no loops or variables and no tests with side effects) allows user created scripts to be run safely on email servers. Sieve is targeted at the final delivery phase (where an incoming email is transferred to a user's mailbox). jSieve is implemented as a language processor that can be plugged into any Internet mail application to add Sieve support.

PushToTest TestMaker is a platform for real-time monitoring and governance of information systems. Software developers use TestMaker turn their unit tests into functional tests that run on their development machine. TestMaker includes Wizards and Recorders to automatically build tests and supports a variety of languages to build tests, including Java, .NET, Jython, Groovy, PHP, Ruby, and many others. It supports SOA, Web Service, AJAX, and REST services using HTTP, HTTPS, SOAP, XML-RPC, and the email protocols. The TestMaker test runtime environment automatically turns these same functional tests into load tests, scalability and performance tests, regression tests, and service monitors for QA technicians, IT operations managers, and CIOs. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release has a new results analysis engine, Selenium IDE/RC for AJAX testing, multiple target monitoring, Web debugging utilities, new tutorials, and new data production libraries.

The Linux Replicated High Availability Manager (Linuxha.net) allows the creation of clusters for application high availability through data replication. Currently, clusters are limited to two nodes, but multiple applications can be hosted and failed-over between the nodes. The software uses DRBD to provide the data replication facillity. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes:
This version is based on DRBD 8.2.6, and supports the authentication and checksum features this release offers. It also includes some minor bugfixes.

The idea of Imaginary Microcomputers is to design simple computers, comparable to vintage home computers, large numbers of which are simulated on a PC in parallel. The machines connect to each other with the goal of seeing efficient structures grow spontaneously, like crystals. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes:
VM persistence now also includes I/O RAM. ALU now supports multiplication.

mime4j provides a parser, MimeStreamParser, for e-mail message streams in plain RFC822 and MIME format. The parser uses a callback mechanism to report parsing events such as the start of an entity header, the start of a body, etc. If you are familiar with the SAX XML parser interface you should have no problem getting started with mime4j. The parser only deals with the structure of the message stream and won't do any decoding of base64 or quoted-printable encoded header fields and bodies. This is intentional - the parser should only provide the most basic functionality needed to build more complex parsers. License: The Apache License 2.0 Changes:
This release brings a number of significant improvements in terms of supported capabilities, flexibility, and performance. It has a revised and improved public API, support for parsing of 'headless' messages transmitted using non-SMTP transports such as HTTP, reduced external dependencies, improved parsing performance (up to 10x), support for RFC1864, RFC2045, RFC2183, RFC2557, and RFC3066, and a revised packaging and exception hierarchy.

mu is a collection of utilities for maildirs, in particular for indexing/searching them.

Webconverger is a Live Web kiosk Linux distribution for public places. It is designed to get you on the Web easily without comprising your privacy. License: DFSG approved Changes:
Webconverger, while normally a live CD, now has an option in the GRUB boot menu to install to a hard drive. This is a preview beta that quickly allows users to set up a Web terminal that deletes all private data between sessions.

Terminator is an application that provides lots of terminals in a single window, saving valuable screen space otherwise wasted on window decorations and not quite being able to fill the screen with terminals. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes:
Various bugfixes. New, improved config file parsing. Improved spawning of more complex terminal commands. A debug server (not useful for most people). Configurable keyboard shortcuts. Scrollback searching. Support for --geometry.

CacheGuard is a Linux-based OS/appliance dedicated to Web traffic security and optimization. It transforms an x86-based machine into a powerful Web gateway appliance. It allows you to control Web traffic for Web surfers and Web servers by acting as a forwarding and reverse HTTP / HTTPS proxy. It supports HTTP transparent implementation, HTTP compression, Web caching, URL black- and whitelist guarding, and Web server load balancing. It features a stateful firewall with NAT and PAT, and a content filtering module blocking malicious HTTP requests like XSS, SQL and Command Injection. It integrates a caching DNS, a DHCP server, a bandwidth shaper to manage the QoS, a load sharing system, and an HA (high availability) mode with VRRP and link bonding. License: Other/Proprietary License with Free Trial Changes:
CSS was added to the Web administration GUI. SSL v2 is no longer supported when the appliance acts as reverse Web proxy (only SSL v3 and TLS v1.0 are supported now).

Calcurse is a text-based calendar and scheduling application. It helps keep track of events, appointments, and everyday tasks. A configurable notification system reminds the user of upcoming deadlines, and the curses based interface can be customized to suit user needs. All of the commands are documented within an online help system. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
Enhancements in this version include the ability to export data to pcal format and thus to produce nice-looking Postscript output for printing. Moreover, new command line arguments were added that allow you to use an alternative data directory, and to be more flexible when specifying the range of dates to be considered when displaying appointments and events. Finally, new key bindings ease movements in the calendar.

Oggify is a program that was written to help manage and convert FLAC audio files into other formats. It ships with MP3 and Ogg Vorbis support. It is intended to allow a user to have a directory tree of FLAC files, and be able to update a tree of MP3 or Ogg files as they add new FLAC files. It has an easy command-line interface with a variety of adjustable settings. It also features a plugin architecture to make it easy to add support for more formats. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes:
This release has a plugin framework, better documentation, and a simpler interface. Now written in Python, it depends on mutagen, and having the various FLAC, Ogg, and MP3 programs installed.

Xlog is an easy to use program for logging your radio contacts. Contacts are saved in a browsable list which can be edited. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release uses native GTK+ printing. Searching capabilities have been improved. Locator scoring has been added, both with a list and a map. Log import has been improved. Portuguese and Italian translations have been added. There were other several fixes and improvements.
