About: kArchiver is a KDE utility made to ease working with compressed files. With kArchiver, you can create tar.gz, tar.bz2, .zip, and other files, and you can add, remove, or view one or more files with a multiselection window. Its interface merges with konqueror, allowing you to view and extract all of your archives within the file manager. Right-clicking on an archive allows you to extract archives in background. You can also convert files between .tar.gz and .tar.bz2. It also provides an automatic splitter/unsplitter to fit a file onto a set of floppies, and wizards that will help you step by step to compile and install software through kArchiver's interface. It can act as a command line tool, useful for creating and extracting archives without taking care of the compressor's name and its options. Changes: This release adds wizards for compiling and installing software without quiting karchiveur (for applying patches), a search tool (select a directory, and karchiveur will recursively find all archives; just open them with a click), and updated English and French docs & translations.

Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement.
About: Boxes is a text filter that can draw any kind of box around its input text. Box design choices range from simple boxes to complex ASCII art. A box can also be removed and repaired, even if it has been badly damaged by editing of the text inside. Since the generated boxes may be open on any side, the program can also be used to create regional comments in any programming language. New box designs of all sorts can easily be added and shared by appending to a free format configuration file. In addition to being a command line tool, Boxes integrates well with any text editor that supports filters. Changes: The few reported bugs have been fixed and several ports have become available since version 1.0 was first released. This includes a much requested Win32 port.

Changes: Support for iButtons, and more improvements on the Web interface.
About: oftpd is designed to be as secure as an anonymous FTP server can possibly be. It runs as non-root for most of the time, and uses the Unix chroot() command to hide most of the systems directories from external users--they cannot change into them even if the server is totally compromised. It also contains its own directory-change and directory-listing code (most FTP servers execute the system "ls" command to list files). Changes: First public release.
About: Big Brother is a combination of monitoring methods. Unlike SNMP where information is just collected and devices polled, Big Brother is designed in such a way that each local system broadcasts its own information to a central location. Simultaneously, Big Brother also polls all networked systems from a central location. This creates a highly efficient and redundant method for proactive network monitoring. Changes: Temporary enable/disable of notifications, Status logs can be valid for a predetermined amount of time, basic support for skins, new enable/disable/data/notes message types, Caldera/Sinix support, self-correcting installation procedure, event logs per host, and a full log.
About: Mptn is a pattern matching library for strings with a syntax similar to regular expressions, but tailored for morphological analysis. Features distinguishing it from Regexp are: named variables, iterating over all possible variable assignments, and extensible syntax. Changes: Bugfixes and some API changes.
About: Diablo is a backbone news transit system, designed to replace INND on backbone machines. The transit part of Diablo is well established and should work flawlessly. Note that diablo now has a reader part, since version 1.15. Changes: Fixes for bugs in handling of the rebuild of the diablo.hosts cache and in global rate limiting that caused a connection to hang after a period of errors.
About: webshout is a CGI script that allows you to manage several shout playlists from your browser. Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement.
About: FlowDesigner is a data flow-oriented development environment. It can be used to build complex applications by combining small, reusable building blocks. In some ways, it is similar to both Simulink and LabView, but is hardly a clone of either. Changes: First release.
About: QStick is a program which uses the XTest extension in XFree86 to send keyboard messages to an X server from a Linux-supported joystick. The program consists of the KBStick executable which reads joystick input and dispatches keypress messages to X, and the QStick shell script which configures environment varibles read by the executable to assign X KeyCodes to the joystick directions & button presses. Changes: Fixes for the "Sticking Plus Axis" bug and the read loop so that analog sticks send one message per change of direction, rather than one message per change of degree, and various non-critical additions and changes.
