    The Insidious Big Brother Database (BBDB) is a contact management
    utility for use with Emacs.

    changes:
    This is the first release of BBDB in two years. Its main new features
    are a new database format with better support for non-US addresses,
    provision for multiple records with the same name, autoconf build
    system, support for merging databases, many bugfixes, and an assortment
    of minor hacks.

    description:
    Synopsis is a source code documentation tool that follows a modular
    architecture to adapt to different languages, comment styles, and
    output formats. It provides parsers for IDL, C++, and Python, and a
    number of formatter modules. It has the ability to scale to large
    projects and to integrate well with Makefiles to only update
    documentation for changed files. One of the goals of Synopsis is to
    integrate the documentation between different languages, for example
    linking implementations in any language with their CORBA interfaces and
    vice versa. The main code is written in Python, the C++ parser is a
    module based on OpenC++, and the IDL parser is a module based on the
    omniidl tool.

    changes:
    Python support, a new ability to cross-reference across language
    boundaries by means of a flexible linker module, and a formatter for
    graph generation, based on graphviz. The build process is now
    autoconf-based.

    description:
    Mp3blaster is an interactive text-based program that plays several
    audio file types (MP3, wav, and sid). It is one of the very few mp3
    players for the text console that allows full interactive control
    during playback. One of its key features is the ability to compose a
    very flexible playlist (while playing!). It plays most MP3 formats and
    has full mixer support built in.

    changes:
    This release adds very important bugfixes in mp3 decoding which reduce
    crashes and improve playback of damaged/VBR mp3s, a fix for a bug that
    caused mp3s to be cut off in the playlist, recursive file adding which
    skips Mac/HPFS-specific filesystem dirs, playlist playback modes which
    have changed to make better use of recursive playlists, an nmixer
    progam which can view/set the recording source, and an splay
    commandline program.

    Asp finds the IP address of an host connected to Internet knowing the
    host name and its possible IP addresses. The use of Asp is suggested
    when the nameserver of the looked-for host does not provide information
    about its address: this is a common case for hosts connected via PPP or
    SLIP with dynamic IP allocation. With Asp you can let others find your
    host when it is online independently from your ISP by running a server
    on your host.

    webCDwriter can be used to make a single CD-writer available to all
    users in your network. It consists of the server CDWserver and the
    clients webCDcreator and rcdrecord. CDWserver stores the files
    transmitted by the clients, reserves the CD-writer and controls the
    CD-writer using cdrecord. webCDcreator is a Java applet that runs
    within your browser (Netscape or IE), assists you when putting together
    a CD, and transmits the files. Finally rcdrecord is a command line
    client that trys to offer the functionality of cdrecord over the
    network.

    in rcdrecord were fixed.

    description:
    Project Clock lets you record the time you spend on different tasks
    with a single mouse click. It is easy to add and delete projects. An
    included utility generates reports.

    changes:
    This is release 0.6 of Project Clock, and is a usability release. The
    GUI (pck-timer) now has menu entries (View...) to display reports in a
    GUI window with a "Save" button. The "custom report" option expects you
    to type in command-line options to get the output you need. The report
    viewer won't work (yet) on Win32 or Mac. There is now a properties
    editor (Edit->Properties...) to change the timer rate, end-of-day etc.
    The saves to ~/.pclockrc are cumulative, so if you mess up, you can
    delete the offending entry from the end of the file using a text
    editor. The reporting program (pck-summary) now accepts a range of
    dates, and also allows you to specify multiple projects.

    urgency:
    low

    description:
    ICEMail is a full-featured Java email client based on the JavaMail API.
    It provides support for IMAP, POP3, local MH folder hierarchies, and
    any other JavaMail SPI provider. ICEMail is fully SMIME v2 compliant,
    allowing the creation and viewing of signed/encrypted email. It
    supports the viewing of attachments via the Java Activation Foundation,
    providing MIME and MailCap capabilities, including the HotJavaBean
    integrated into the application for Web browsing.

    changes:
    Highlighting when selecting messages from the table, resizing columns
    within the message table to the user perferences, and the use of the
    JavaMail environment property mail.debug have all been corrected. All
    support of FCC (File CC) has been removed from the composition window.
    Vendor names have been added to list of providers when configuring the
    message stores. ICEMail is now distributed with the JavaMail 1.2
    library from Sun.

    urgency:
    medium
