XRally is a clone of the Rally X arcade game. In Rally X, you control a
blue car which has to run through a maze-like level collecting flags
and avoiding colliding with enemy (red) cars. In order to protect
itself, the blue car can discharge clouds of smoke which stun the enemy
cars for a while. The enemy cars can also crash into each other, what
gives you some extra time. One of the main features of XRally is that
it is fully customizable. You can create custom tilesets and levels and
load them at run time, changing the entire look of the game. (You
could, for instance, create a water tileset, using boats instead of
cars.)
changes:
Changes to the graphics API, a lot of new eyecandy for the menu and the
game screens, a new level, improvements to the sound system, and a lot

changelog: http://freshmeat.net/projects/xdialog/changelog/
description:
Xdialog is designed to be a drop-in replacement for the dialog and
cdialog programs. It converts any terminal-based program into a program
with an X interface. The dialogs are easier to see and use, and Xdialog
adds more functionality such as a help button and box, a treeview, an
editbox, file and directory selectors, a range box, and a calendar. It
uses GTK+, and will match your desktop theme.
changes:
5 new widgets (--2inputsbox, --3inputsbox, --2rangesbox, --3rangesbox,
--buildlist), 2 new common options (--separator, --separate-output),
and 3 new transient options (--interval, --default-no, --wizard). The
menu/list height parameter is taken into account, and better
auto-sizing for some widgets. The <height> and <width> parameters are
related to the true (fixed font) character size. The "Help" button may
be setup to make Xdialog return (with exit code=2). Better parameter
checking (item depth) in --treeview, some code rewrites, and full HTML
documentation.

changelog: http://freshmeat.net/projects/unac/changelog/
description:
unac is a C library and command that removes accents from a string. For
instance, the string été will become ete. It provides a command line
interface that removes accents from standard input or from a string
given as an argument. In the library function and the command, the
charset of the input is specified as an argument. The input is
converted to UTF-16 using iconv(3), accents are stripped, and the
result is converted back to the original charset. The iconv --list
command on GNU/Linux will show all charsets supported. It currently has
Perl, PHP3, and PHP4 interfaces.
changes:
New support for systems that do not have UTF-16BE defined but only
UTF-16 being implicitly big-endian, which means that it will work with
both glibc-2.1.3 and glibc-2.1.94. A fix for an occasional allocation
bug, allocation of the returned buffer even if an empty string is given
in input, and more regression tests.
