or complete.

changes:
This release adds a fix for a bug in the "Time Bookings by Project"
report, which only worked for the Year 2000, and some tidying up of the

all the items are displayed for each topic. Harpia uses a very modular
design, which allows easy modification to the core or modules.

MqSeries-Connect (MqCon) is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure
interface for MqSeries (IBM) to the different programming and scripting
languages. It has three interesting features: it is very small and
focuses only on one task, it uses the new CO-process architecture and
is independent of the target language or the release-level of the
target language, and it distinguishes between "Programmer" and "User"
on a UNIX box (a powerful configuration interface hides the software
from the user).

Logtool is a syslog file parser, report generator, and monitoring
utility. It takes syslog (and syslog compatible) logfiles as input from
stdin, and depending on command line switches and/or config file
settings, will parse and filter out unwanted messages from the logfile
accordingly, and generate output in ANSI color, formatted ASCII, CSV
(for spreadsheets), or HTML format. It is very handy for use in
automated nightly reports, and online monitoring of logfile activity.
It comes with some simple example scripts and documentation.

correctly on Solaris 2.6 with the original CC compiler, as well as some

The Usenet Binary Harvester (ubh) is a Perl console application which
automatically discovers, downloads, and decodes single-part and
multi-part Usenet binaries. It automatically assembles multi-part
binaries, provides searching via Perl regular expression syntax, and
provides a pre-selection capability whereby the user can interactively
choose which binaries to download. Ubh uses a standard .newsrc file to
control which groups to process, and uses the .newsrc to keep track of
articles already processed. It also handles uuencoded binaries and MIME
attachments.

flexible user-interface based upon the GNU Guile scripting language;
output in HDF format; and iterative, targeted eigensolver methods to
address very large problems by solving for only a few states near a
specified frequency.

band-by-band eigensolver, greatly improved convergence at the Gamma
(k=0) point, and many other improvements.

changes:
Major restructuring of the source code, making the monitoring process
much more efficient. A memory leak with the tooltip text of the dock
icon was fixed. Ksetiwatch now logs all results that will be returned
to the SETIhome server. "Angle Range" and "TeraFlops" were added to
the list views. Support for old SETIhome clients with version numbers
1.xx was dropped. Also, many bugfixes and minor improvements were made.
