sidux is a desktop-oriented distribution and live CD based on the unstable branch of Debian GNU/Linux. This project was originally created by a group of developers who split from the KANOTIX project and launched their own distribution.
Main features:
- After three months of development, we are proud to announce the immediate availability of sidux 2007-02 for amd64 and i686 systems, shipping in a 425 MB lite KDE and a 690 MB full KDE flavor. Our second official sidux release has concentrated on overhauling the early boot sequence and adapting to a wider variety of desktop environments and window managers. While this release only ships in two KDE flavors (lite and full) again, were looking for interested maintainers contributing to special purpose releases or tweaking support for other desktop environments and window managers.
Enhancements:
- After less than three months of development, we are proud to announce the immediate availability of sidux 2007-03 Gaia for amd64 and i686 systems, shipping in a 440 MB lite KDE and a 700 MB full KDE flavors. Our third official sidux release concentrates on overhauling the SysV init sequence of the live CD, refactoring the installer backend, and laying the foundation for proper gettext localisations of our toolset, with additional efforts regarding general clean up and obsoleting the GTK+ 1.2 tools, while shipping kernel 2.6.22.3-rc1, using libata for most PATA chipsets, additional support for Intel IPW3945/4965, Realtek RTL8187 and RT2x00 wireless LAN devices has been added.

Yeanpypa is a parsing framework in Python, similar to pyparsing and boost::spirit.

Parsers are created by writing an EBNF-like grammar as Python expressions.

jTagger is an powerful MP3 tag and filename editor. jTagger project can update filename and tags for individual files or in batch mode.

Its possible to test changes in batch mode before writing changes. Basic MP3 playback is supported.

jTagger is written in Java 1.5 (5.0) so it should work on all platforms as long the right java version is installed. The program has been tested on Windows XP SP2 and Linux (Suse 10.0).

Reading audio tracks with extended character encodings hasnt been tested. It is quite slow on reading and special on writing operations. And update time increases with file size.

Arabica is a C++ XML parser toolkit that has a full SAX2 implementation (the Simple API for XML), including the optional interfaces and helper classes. It also implements the W3C DOM (Document Object Model) Level 2.0 Core, together with XPath 1.0.
It delivers UTF-8 encoded std::strings or UCS-2 std::wstrings, but can also accommodate custom string types and alternative encodings. Arabica provides uniform SAX2 wrappers for the expat parser, Xerces, libxml, and the Microsoft XML parser COM component.
Enhancements:
- Further improvements were made to the configure system.
- The build can now be configured without the Boost libraries, in which case the XPath components are skipped.
- Parser detection is improved, as is detecting the correct libraries for sockets.
- TreeWalker and NodeFilter were added.
- MSXML version checking was beefed up.
- Buffering in convertstream was reworked to reduce the number of dynamic allocations.
- LexicalHandler and DeclHandler are promoted to be part of the XMLReader interface.
