Freshmeat Latest Updates

Fractal Software
http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/827

Ever since I first stayed up late watching an 8-bit computer painstakingly draw a Mandelbrot set, I've been fascinated by fractals. Of course, I had to write a fractal-generating program of my own straight away; the combination of the amazingly simple math required to produce the Mandelbrot set and the amazing graphics that came out was irresistible. Clearly, I'm not alone; every programmer with even the slightest interest in math writes a fractal program at some point, and a good number of these are now available as Open Source. Here's a brief, opinionated, and decidedly non-exhaustive survey of some of the programs I've found.

Alleyoop 0.7.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/120918/

Alleyoop is a GNOME frontend to the Valgrind memory checker. Its features include a right-click context menu to intelligently suppress errors or launch an editor on the source file, jumping to the exact line of the error condition. A searchbar at the top of the viewer can be used to limit the viewable errors to those that match the regex criteria entered. A fully functional Suppressions editor is also included.

Autoconf Macro Archive 0.5.51 (SF-NET)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/120876/

Do you need more help?

Darcs is an advanced revision control system along the lines of CVS or arch.
