0.6 trial software / shareware for linux

Zoidcom is a network library, UDP based networking library providing features for automatic replication of gameobjects and synchronization of their states over a network connection in a highly bandwidth efficient manner.
This is achieved by multiplexing and demultiplexing object information from and into bitstreams, which make it easily possible to avoid sending redundant data. Bools only take one single bit, integers and floats are stripped down to as many bits as needed.
A great deal of the tedious work that appears when attempting to develop an efficient network protocol is handled by Zoidcom, e.g. deciding when to send which data to which client, how to get it efficiently and reliably through the line, what to do when data gets lost and a lot more.
Main features:
Easy And Flexible
- simple and straightforward C++ API
- no additional build steps needed
- custom memory management
Connectivity
- fast, UDP based networking protocol using bitstreams - very little control data overhead
- NAT friendly - the whole system can operate on one single UDP port
- maximize the header/payload ratio by sending fewer big packets instead of lots of small ones
- dynamic bandwidth distribution & limitation
Advanced Object Replication - Make best use of the available bandwidth
- delegate ownership of objects to arbitrary clients (e.g. for AI processing or player control)
- adjustable object priorities
- adjustable object relevance per client (e.g. field of view)
- object subscription groups (e.g. for different, distinct game areas)
Object Events - Easy as communication can become
- direct communication between authority and (groups of) replicated object(s)
- no need to pass around object messages throughout your whole application
- full control - intercept object events for debugging, monitoring and cheatprotection
- object based file transfer - transmit files easily in the background of a running session - the higher the objects priority, the faster the transfer will complete
Automatic Object State Synchronization
- synchronize bools, ints, floats and strings
- interpolate ints and floats
- only send data that really changed
- full control
- minimum and maximum update frequency for each single data item
- intercept, manipulate and prevent data updates for debugging, monitoring and cheatprotection
- efficient
- adjust the amount of relevant bits per replicated item
- default values to avoid transmission of redundant data
- interpolation with adjustable interpolation strength or totally custom interpolation
Useful Utilities
- asynchronous hostname resolution
- accurate ping measurement
- LAN session discovery
- quickrequest feature - talk to a remote host without creating a full connection
- connection grouping
- extensive connection statistics
Enhancements:
- This release adds a method for defining the default relevance of an object to all connections.

JExpress Professional lets you create multiplatform, multilingual installers and auto-updaters. An easy-to-use Swing interface lets you design your installers quickly without requiring any programming.
You can build a single installer for multiple products or install types. JExpress Professional allows you to efficiently customize your installers using Java. JExpress Professional goes beyond just building Java installations; it can also select the exact classes your Java app uses, build your directory tree, and produce JAR files.
JExpress Professional can even use a sophisticated algorithm to upload your software to your Web site without user intervention. It can create native installers for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Solaris that install the JVM if it isnt already installed.
JExpress Professional goes way beyond just building installers and updaters. It can also select the exact classes your Java app or applet uses, build your directory tree, and produce JAR files.
And, you can customize your installers and updaters using Java. JExpress Professional can even use its sophisticated algorithm to upload your software to your website without user intervention.
Enhancements:
- Customers that offer a trial version of their software can now create a customized uninstaller that sends feedback if a prospect decides to remove the product.
