- Added support for Schedules and tasks

Business Shell (BUSH) can be used as interactive command shell, scripting language with a source code debugger, a database client and a web template engine. With third-party support for the ABEE standard for Java Virtual Machine and .Net, BUSH is an all-in-one replacment for BASH, PHP, J2EE, Ruby, Python, PERL and PSQL.
There are many shells, interpreters and languages available. Virtually without exception, they are incompatible with one another. Whats the point of learning a tool that, no matter how sophisticated it is, leaves your source code stuck with that particular tool. You want to do scripting, so you use Python or Scheme.
You want to do reporting, so you use Perl. You want to write a script, so you use Bash. You want to write an applet, so you use Java. To be a programmer these days, you need to be fluent in a dozen different languages. You would be making more money if you got a job at the United Nations.
The Business Shell is different. Its based on a language called AdaScriptTM, a subset of one of the most powerful languages available for Linux today. Ada 95 is a GCC supported language so any project you write in Bush is immediately portable to any machine that GCC runs on. In other words, virtually everything.
And it means that Bush scripts can be compiled using GCC and everyone knows that GCC is superior to most commercial compilers. If thats not enough, using the JGNAT open source compiler, you can even compile your Bush scripts into actual Java bytecode. There is another tool, A#, that will compile scripts into .NET byte code Things dont get much more platform-independent than that.
But Bush does more than just create scripts, executable programs and Java applets. Its a powerful computer language on its own able to do complex math, manipulate files, generate reports and able to do network programming. Bush will let strings grow as big as you need without worry of a running out of buffer space. And a number of built-in packages will let you do everything from compute trig functions to connecting to a web server.
But best of all, Bush is easy. Perl claims to be easy. Easily like riding a bicycle backwards in the middle of a thunderstorm. Bush is easy to read, easy to understand. You know exactly what a script does without having to have a reference book beside you at all times
Bush doesnt run your programs outright. First it examines them, compresses them, and converts them into intermediate code. (Thats "byte code", to you Java developers.) Bush optimizes the program for the best possible performance. It also takes the time to verify your program will run before attempting to execute the first line.
And if you make to typing mistake, Bush will let you know before running your program. Theres no need to worry that your typo will be a valid command like it would be in most other languages. Bush works for you, not against you.
One tool for all solutions.

JFDraw is a Java vector graphics drawing application and library package. It is focused on vector graph drawing field.
It is useful for mechanical, electronic, architectural graph drawing applications, or even business process or workflow graphs.
Enhancements:
- Text may be aligned to the left, middle, or right.
- Angles may be rotated in either a fixed or arbitrary fashion.

- A new logger is used for all the JFDraw debugging/running information.
- Fields were added for integer ID, string ID, name, and description in Abstract Object, so all shapes now have those four customized properties for programming.

Openbox menu editor program is a tool that simplifies the process of editing Openboxs complex XML-based menu file.

php.MVC implements the Model-View-Controller design pattern, and encourages application design based on the Model 2 paradigm. This design model allows the Web page or other contents (View) to be mostly separated from the internal application code (Controller/Model), making it easier for designers and programmers to focus on their respective areas of expertise.
The framework provides a single entry point Controller. The Controller is responsible for allocating HTTP requests to the appropriate Action handler (Model) based on configuration mappings.
The Model contains the business logic for the application. The Controller then forwards the request to the appropriate View component, which is usually implemented using a combination of HTML with PHP tags in the form of templates. The resulting contents are returned to the client browser, or via another protocol such as SMTP.
php.MVC is a PHP port of Jakarta Struts. It currently supports many features of Struts, including declarative application configuration via the XML digester. For example, mappings from the various Action business logic components to appropriate results pages can be specified declaratively in the XML configuration file.
Main features:
- Free OpenSource software: This gives users full control of the software, and the able to modify the source code to suit specific needs.
- Security: php.MVC applications have only one entry point (per application). This makes it easy to protect sensitive application code and data.
- Flexible Installation: Individual php.MVC applications can be installed outside of the main php.MVC library directory tree.
- Multi-applications: There is no limit to the number of applications per php.MVC installation.
- Object Oriented design (OOD). The php.MVC framework is based on OOD principles, making it more extendable and maintainable.
- Database integration: The php.MVC framework ships with the Pear::DB Database Abstraction Layer, and a driver for the MySQL relational database manager (RDBM) is provided.
- Action Chaining: php.MVC allows for passing control to other Actions. This makes it easy to process a sequence of Actions (business logic classes) and static resources (pages).
- XML configuration: php.MVC uses declarative application configurations using Extensible Markup Language (XML) files. Each application has its own XML configuration file.
- MVC Model 2 design: php.MVC implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) Model 2 design pattern. The Model 2 paradigm allows the separation of the application presentation from the business logic, making it easier for designers and programmers to focus on their respective areas of expertise.
- Form button mapping: php.MVC implements the LookupDispatchAction class to enable HTML form buttons to be mapped to particular business logic methods. For example, a form submit button called "Add to Cart" could be mapped to an Action class method called MyCartAction->addToCart(...).
- Message Resources: php.MVC provides a PropertyMessageResources class that handles messages in text string properties files with parametric replacement. This can provide Locale-sensitive messages for internationalized applications.
- The php.MVC framework is based on Jakarta Struts application framework design. Struts has proven to be reliable, extendable and well supported.
Enhancements:
- This development release adds bugfixes and enhancements to the framework, a compressed performance version for use in more demanding hosting environments, and an example application to demonstrate the use of both versions.

Kumula is designed to become a complete software suite for business needs. Started as software for consultants, it is flexible enough to be used by almost any class of business. Kumula Business Suite provides a small CRM (Clients) and a Mini-DMS (Documents), enhanced by some other applications. Everybody is invited to use it or enhance it.
Kumula is written in Qt (http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/), PyQt and Python using the fabulous Eric3 development environment.
Enhancements:
- This is the last stable release before Ill port it to Qt4 (as "Kumula2"), so I feel free to call it "1.0".
- The whole suite is becoming bigger and bigger, so now its time to split it. This is the base package with the central Kumula library and the most important applications. The package contains the following programs:
BizCalc:
- The modular designed calculator tool, coming with a spartanic RPN calculator and an unit conversion module
Clients:
- The client/customer management application, with many improvements (like individual client attributes) and the modules "Info" (logo+description), "Contacts" (for managing contact persones, addresses and communication data) and "Tickets" (for letting the users talk about a client like on a web forum)
Configurator:
- The central configuration utility, to setup the database access and the user interface (menus, icons, ...) of all Kumula applications.
Users:
- A small tool for managing the people using Kumula.
- Further application will be provided in separate packages for easier maintenance and faster bugfixes and updates.
