The QDS library allows Qt applications to access features provided in common desktop APIs in a portable way, without requiring dependencies on any desktop platform library.
This is especially useful for applications targeting the Unix desktops, because Qt/X11 is very generic and only provides features it can implement on all sub platforms. All library code is licenced under 2-clause BSD licence.
Service implementations are loaded from plugins which link to the respective desktop libraries. The plugin to use can be specified on the applications commandline, in the QDS configuration file or QDS can try to autodetect the currently running platform.
Enhancements:
- Autodetection to use GNOME plugin in case GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID is set
- Replaced the primitive example application with a simple but network aware text editor application
- Support for wildcards in mailcap entries

FIDOGATE is a Fido-Internet gateway and a Fido tosser.
Main features:
- Fido Internet Gateway
- Fido Zone Gateway (NetMail zone gate)
- Fido Tosser (mail processor)
- Fido Ticker (file processor)
- Fido Areafix and Filefix

JCR also know as jcodereview is a web application for performing and managing code reviews.
Although it has some special smarts for reviewing Java projects, it can be used for reviews of any type of source code.
Main features:
- Reviewers. All changes to code are highlighted, and context is shown when adding comments. If reviewing Java code, references to other classes within the file are clickable, so that you can drill into the detail if required. After review comments have been made, those comments can themselves be reviewed, and the required actions decided on and tracked
- Project owners. Review projects are easy to create and configure
- Process Nazis. Details of all comments are held in the database, along with any actions required, and whether theyve been completed. Status reports can be viewed at any time
- Architects and developers. As well as viewing the comments made for a project, its possible to see details of all review projects and comments for a specified file.
At work (Dialect Solutions), we use JCR to review more than half of the code we write. Its made a huge difference to our review process - code reviews now take less time, and the code gets reviewed much more thoroughly than it did in the past.
JCR is released under the GNU Public Licence.

VoiceApp records sound from soundcard (or any file) and converts it to frequency domain via FFT, showing the result in a window. The result is thrown on the screen in matrixish colors.

Photon project is a photo album with a clean design.
Main features:
- static HTML pages (you can put all pages and images on a CD-ROM)
- slideshow (use javascript optional)
- can use gimp to resize picture for greater quality
- navigation between the image can use the keyboard (use javascript optional)
- work on any browser (Mozilla, Netscape Navigator 4.x, Konqueror, Opera)
- Each image can have a comment (with HTML tags)
- Information about the image (if taken from a digital picture) can be draw
- thumbnail image size can be choosed by the user
- output images can be scalled down
- control the number of thumbnail in a page
- movie support (new in 0.4.0)
- w3c compliant

glibc-audit is a modified version of glibc for application developers who check their code with an automatic memory access checker such as valgrind, Insure++, or Purify.
glibc-audit has been audited and cleaned up so that reports from the developers use of a memory access checker are more likely to be interesting to the developer, with less "noise" from the C library itself. Typically, glibc-audit initializes all of its local variables and structs before use. Ordinary glibc uses uninitialized dummy variables that are "dont-care" to its logic but reported by the memory access checker.
Also, the r_debug.r_brk protocol has been enhanced to co-operate with a co-resident auditor. If the auditor sets .r_brk, then the runtime loader will call the auditor directly whenever a shared library event occurs.
This is much more convenient than using breakpoints. By default the old breakpoint protocol works just like before. The new protocol is binary compatible with the old on machines where a pointer to a function is the same size as an ordinary pointer. Platforms where a pointer to a function is larger (such as HP-PA RISC, Alpha processor, or PowerPC) are not binary backward compatible, and will have to increment r_debug.r_version. Exising clients (such as gdb) also will see an ignorable type mismatch error when they are built. But for now, it is worth more not to antagonize gdb at runtime on x86.
The patch modifies 91 files. Compared to glibc-2.3.2-27.9, the additional code occupies 18 more bytes of .text, and 24 fewer bytes in the .so. On a nano-scopic scale, the typical execution cost is 0 to 3 CPU cycles per affected routine; the estimated median total impact is less than 1 second per machine per day. In the case of *printf(), glibc-audit is faster than glibc because the cleaned-up source helps gcc-3.2 avoid generating atrocious code when initializing printf_spec.info for parse_one_spec() in stdio-common/printf-parse.h.
Glibc-audit was constructed by running a memory access checker on the internal testcases of glibc, then analyzing the reported errors and modifying the source. The process revealed 10 memory access bugs in glibc-2.3.2-11.9. Seven were fixed in glibc-2.3.2-27.9, two more have been fixed in CVS, and one is a design flaw that probably will not be fixed.
Predecessor patches to glibc-audit-1 were submitted to the glibc project, but those patches were ignored [user "guest", password "guest"], declined, or rejected. There is enough improvement in usability and reliability to publish glibc-audit-1 separately.
The unmodified glibc-2.3.2-27.9.src.rpm is available from RedHat mirrors. rpmbuild -ba --target i686 took about 4 hours and 2.5GB of disk space on a machine with 1.1GHz CPU, 384MB RAM, UDMA100 disk.
Enhancements:
- The patches were updated to glibc-2.4-4.
- A glibc bug that interfered with gdb stop-on-solib-events was fixed.
- On x86, x86-64, and PowerPC, the __NR_open system call was improved to avoid leaking information from the user to the kernel.
