Free 1.0 rc7 software for linux

MiniUPnP Client and Daemon is an UPnP IGD client lightweight library and UPnP IGD daemon.
The UPnP protocol is supported by most home adsl/cable routers and Windows 2K/XP. The aim of the MiniUpnp project is to bring a free software solution to support the "Internet Gateway Device" part of the protocol.
The Linux SDK for UPnP devices (libupnp) seems too heavy for me. I want the simplest library possible, with the smallest footprint and no dependencies to other libraries such as XML parsers or HTTP implementations. All the code is pure ANSI C.
Compiled on a x86 PC, the miniupnp client library have less than 15KB code size. For instance, the upnpc sample program is around 20KB.
The project is divided in two main parts : the client library, enabling applications to access the services provided by an UPnP "Internet Gateway Device" present on the network, and the miniupnpd daemon, providing these services to your network from a linux or bsd box being the gateway. At the moment the miniupnpd is developped on OpenBSD 3.0+ with pf. You can see some of the work I have done to integrate with pf on this page.
As pf is also available under FreeBSD, guys at the pfSense project have ported miniupnpd to this system.
For some reasons, it may be not the good solution for you to use the code from the MiniUPnP project directly.
As the code is small and simple to understand, it is a good base to take inspiration for your own UPnP implementation. The KTorrent team UPnP plugin in C++ is a good example.
If you are wondering which home router is working with the miniupnp client, you can find the answer here. In fact, you are more likely to help me fill the list by sending me an email.
Usefulness of the miniUPnP client library
The usage of the miniUPnP client library is useful whenever an application needs to listen for incoming connections.
Examples : P2P applications, FTP clients for active mode, IRC (for DCC) or IM applications, network games, any server.
The typical usage of UPnP capabilities of a router is a file tranfert using MSN messenger. The MSN Messenger software uses the UPnP API of Windows XP to open port for incoming connection. To mimic the MS software, it is a good idea to use UPnP as well.
Enhancements:
- This release adds changes to accommodate the Linux 2.6.22 kernel.

STclass is a Contract Based Built-in Testing Framework (CBBT) for Java.
The goal of the STclass project is to diffuse a professional testing framework for the Java language. The Tigris site shoud support the maintenance and the evolution of the tool.
Main features:
- Runtime evaluable contracts definition and evaluation:
OCL like class invariants, pre and postconditions on methods;
contracts defined in javadoc comments (can be extracted by javadoc);
contracts inheritance from parent class and interfaces following the Meyers rules;
- Class level unit testing:
test are organized in TestUnits, TestCases and TestSuites;
Setup and Teardown actions can be associated to TestCase, a testUnit can participate to several TestCases;
tests are contract-based: TestUnits define only scenarii, oracles are evaluated by contracts;
tests are built-in: all the test definition is made in comments of the source code;
tests are inheritable from parent classes and interfaces;
- A preprocessor generates from the source an instrumented code with a main function: running the test is only running the class itself. Options manage the test conditions; it is possible to launch TestUnits individualy in verification mode; with Ant or other scripts, package or system test can be performed.
- Test result are saved in XML format, postprocessing tools produce nice HTML reports; using the JIP profiler, a statisitic and profiling analysis can be made during the test, its resuts are added to the HTML report.
Enhancements:
- Several bugs were fixed.
- Change option management is now based on property files.
- Good integration with Ant was achieved.
- IDEs including NetBeans and Eclipse are now supported.
- A new code_cover command that makes coverage tests with EMMA was added.

PING is a live Linux ISO, based on the excellent RIP (Recovery Is Possible) distribution. PING can be burnt on a CD and booted, or integrated in a PXE / RIS environment.
Several tools have been added and written, so to make this ISO the perfect choice to backup and restore whole partitions, an easy way. It sounds like Symantec Ghost(tm), but has even better features, and is totally free.
Main features:
- Backup and Restore partitions or files to a MS Network Shared directory;
- Backup and Restore the BIOS data as well;
- Either burn a bootable CD / DVD, either integrate within a PXE / RIS environment;
- Possibility to Blank local admins password;
- Create your own restoration bootable DVD (see the Howto Documentation);
- Partition and Format a disk before installing Windows (so to make sure your unattended Windows installation will happen on the right partition);
Specific advantages Linux brings you over DOS and Ghost :
- Most network cards automatically recognized by the Kernel (unlike DOS);
- Most CD/DVD readers automatically recognized by the Kernel (unlike DOS);
- You dont have to run a Ghostcast server to receive images over the network.
Whats New in 2.00 RC7 Development Release:
- NTFS filesystems were not being resized to the maximum size that the partition could contain, though logging reported such.
- An occasional hang on some systems when it came to mount NTFS partitions was fixed.
- For an unknown reason, using NTFS-3G drivers rather than native kernel drivers seems to resolve the issue.
- The kernel was updated to Linux 2.6.22.4.
- Some more network and S-ATA/SCSI drivers have been compiled.

Zen is a Gnome theme that aims to be clear, soft and configurable in colours

Colours for selected text, progress bar and Metacity borders can be changed running ./configure at the root of the theme directory (usually ~/.themes/Zen/).

Default is purple, other ones are blue, grey, brown, orange, yellow, olive and green.

Zen for Metacity theme is based on Clear-alternative-wide an is provided by Billy Cantrell

Mix is a KDE theme composed by different collected items, which were already installed: Plastik, SUSE etc..

Plus many different Wallpapers - if one installed it. The theme should function also for other distributions.

MailManager helps teams deal with large volumes of email by allocating mail to the right person, providing tools to help answer it (prioritisation, reply templates, and a knowledge base), and allowing managers to set service levels for different types of mail and report on performance against service levels and volumes received.
MailManager is based on Zope which is required to use it. MailManager is cross-platform, but most of the testing has been under Linux and Mac OS X.
Whats New in 2.0.10 Stable Release:
- Added in fix for security issue
- Postgres encoding security hole (#1494281)
- The code in the 2.0.9 and previous releases may be vulnerable to this issue, depending on your postgres configuration. The exploit may allow an attacker to alter data in the SQL database and gain access to the web interface as an administrator. You are strongly advised to upgrade.

RFind indexes the filenames of a given directory, and allows you to quickly search this index with regular expressions. Search-on-typing with more than 500,000 indexed filenames is easily possible.
RFind attempts to be very configurable so that it can be useful to everyone. It features hierarchically presented search results, search-on-typing, and the ability to define rules to execute on mouse click.
Main features:
- Hierarchical presented search results
- Search-on-typing
- Define rules to execute on mouseclick

goban replays historic games of go (aka wei-chi and baduk).

It works with xscreensaver, and Gnome.

goban is based on cgoban by Bill Schubert.
