The aim of this project is to create a free (open source, OS independent) remake of the classic SSI game Imperialism. While the spirit and many concepts of the original should be preserved, it should not become a pure copy but advance the concept in a sense that modern elements of strategic games are included, e.g. of the Civilization series. The game is written in Java using Swing for the user interface. The philosophy is to keep it as simple as possible, use standard/well tested libraries wherever possible and to demand clean, understandable code.

Release Notes: A nicer start screen was included.

SpaceZero is a RTS 2D space combat game for two players over a network. The objective is to conquer the space, defeating all enemies. At the starting point, you have only one ship and one planet, but you have money to buy more ships to conquer more planets. All the ships can be controlled by the computer (automatic mode) or by the player (manual mode). You can easily change among your ships, controlling all of them independently.

Release Notes: This major release added random planet names, statistics, air resistance, new explosions, and new ships models for pirates. It is now possible to select ships in space. New enemyknown and pirates options were added. AI was improved with order RETREAT n, and reviewed missile AI and attacks. A new "M31" background music theme was added. There were also other minor enhancements.

xombrero is a minimalist's Web browser. It strives to be vi-like and is suited for heavy keyboard users.

Release Notes: A privacy leak caused by use of a separate gnutls TLS connection to grab remote HTTPS certificates which ignored http_proxy was fixed. Threading was disabled/removed since the gnutls sideband thread is no longer necessary. A command for incrementing and decrementing page numbers in URLs was added. An enable_cache setting was added (disabled by default). Some memory leaks were fixed along with some warnings and bugs caused by GTK+ 3.8. Initial OS X build support was added. There were various Makefile fixes for all platforms, and a typo in the man page was corrected.

Shotwell is a photo organizer designed for the GNOME desktop environment. It allows you to import photos from your camera, view and edit them, and share them with others.

Release Notes: A critical issue where Shotwell closed unexpectedly when working with RAW photos in direct-edit mode was fixed. The Facebook Connector now recovers smoothly from type 7 errors. EXIF-oriented photos uploaded to Facebook now appear in their correct orientation, even when the strip metadata option is turned on in the Facebook Connector. An issue where incorrect view filter settings were applied on tag and event pages was fixed. The Camera Developer is now disabled for RAW images that lack a suitable paired or embedded JPEG. Translations for many languages were updated. There were assorted smaller bugfixes.

Knotter is a highly configurable interlace designer. Interlace patterns are a kind of design historically used as a decorations in many places and by different cultures (some examples are Celtic knotworks and Islamic interlaces). Knotter aims to allow its user to design such patterns in an intuitive way and to provide easy ways to integrate the result into external general-purpose graphic software. For this purpose, designs created within Knotter can be saved in a custom human-readable format and exported as Scalable Vector Graphics and in a wide number of raster image formats.

Release Notes: Knotter 0.9.0 has been completely rewritten from scratch. The user interface is now more friendly and flexible, it's easier to navigate the canvas, and there is a more advance color dialog. It's now possible to assign a color to each rope in the knot. This release also contains several bugfixes and performance improvements.

cvs-fast-export analyzes a collection of RCS files in a CVS repository (or outside of one) and, when possible, emits an equivalent history in the form of a fast-import stream. Not all possible histories can be rendered this way, and the program tries to emit useful warnings when it can't. The program can also produce a visualization of the resulting commit DAG in the DOT format handled by the graphviz suite.

Release Notes: Buggy handling of the -k option was fixed. --remote (-e) and --stripprefix (-s) options were added. A recursion overflow on very large repos has been avoided. The fast-import stream ops are now emitted in the same order git uses.

Yote is a server and set of libraries which connect JavaScript objects to backend objects using JSON RPC. It is composed of an HTTP server, a set of JavaScript libraries, and a set of Perl libraries. Yote objects are container objects connected together in a graph branching off from a root node. They are automatically loaded and saved as needed so that only a portion of the graph is in memory at one time. An account and app infrastructure are provided. Each call to the server automatically syncs the objects in the client side cache. Security is handled on the server side, which tracks which client is allowed what data and calls.

Release Notes: This release has a bugfix for the sqlite configuration settings.

Clzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to that of gzip or bzip2. Clzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution and data archiving. Clzip uses the lzip file format; the files produced by clzip are fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer, and can be rescued with lziprecover. Clzip is, in fact, a C language implementation of lzip, intended for embedded devices or systems lacking a C++ compiler.

Release Notes: Decompression time has been reduced by 1%. The file version is now shown only if verbosity >= 4. The option "-n, --threads" is now accepted and ignored for compatibility with plzip. "configure" now accepts options with a separate argument.
