phpPgAdmin: Third development version released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=266122
The phpPgAdmin project is proud to announce a new development release of its 3.0.0 software. The biggest improvements have been in our foreign language support. As well as French, Japanese and Russian translations, all our translations work better and we've fixed a lot of small bugs. phpPgAdmin is a fully functional web-based administration utility for a PostgreSQL database server. It handles all the basic functionality as well as some advanced features such as triggers, views and functions (stored procs).
DataVision 0.7.6 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=266061
DataVision is an Open Source reporting tool similar to Crystal Reports. Reports can be designed using a drag-and-drop GUI. They may be run, viewed, and printed from the application or exported as HTML, XML, PDF, LaTeX2e, DocBook, or tab- or comma-delimited text files. The output files produced by LaTeX2e and DocBook can in turn be used to produce PDF, text, HTML, PostScript, and more. This is a bug fix release. SQL tables would still sometimes not load their columns. They should, now. The HTML layout engine now uses "font-family", not "font-name", when specifying a field's font.
SandBoss_1_2 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=266060
sandboss is a free Structs And Nodes Development environment (sandbox) built on JBoss and other open source tools. The goal is to provide a working project management system as an example distributed enterprise application built using SAND. In addition to assorted bug fixes and minor enhancements, this release greatly extends the SANDForms UI structures and related processing. It is now possible to handle query operations on persistent message information (in addition to the existing add/update/delete processing) within a single unified form environment. Forms can also be named, to support control of multiple forms in a single display. See the UIGen.html documentation in the top level docs for details.
SquirrelMail 1.4.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=266055
SquirrelMail is a PHP4-based Web email client. It includes built-in pure PHP support for IMAP and SMTP, and renders all pages in pure HTML 4.0 for maximum compatibility across browsers. It also has MIME support, folder manipulation, etc. Today, after a very long wait, the first stable child of the past development series, 1.4.0, has seen the light! It includes enhancements for stability, performance and compatibility, plus new features and many bugfixes. We consider this the best version of SquirrelMail available.
ROBODoc 4.0.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=265797
ROBODoc is a documentation tool. It extracts the documentation from commentheaders in the sourcecode and formats it in HTML, RTF, TeX, or ASCII. Works with C, Tcl, FORTRAN, and any other language that supports remarks. Release of ROBODoc V4.0.0 All previous versions of ROBODoc operated on a single file and created a single output file. To create the documentation from all the source files of a project a makefile had to be written. Documentation was created in two steps, one for the crosslinks and one for the actual documentation. It was possible to work with subdirectories but this required a lot of wizzardry. This has been all changed with this release. All documentation can now be created with a single call to robodoc. This makes it much easier to get started with ROBODoc. To make it even easier a new tool is available, robohdrs, that can insert empty headers in the source code. ROBODoc now supports documentation in single file and multiple file format, called singledoc and multidoc. In singledoc mode ROBODoc stores all the extrated documentation in a single file. This is usefull if you want to print the documentation, deliver documentation to a client, or include it in a large document. In multidoc mode ROBODOc stores the extrated documentation in several files. This is useful if you want to browse documentation. The manual has been converted to DocBook format and is much more extensive. A HTML version and a printable PDF version are available. Besides the source package, RedHat, OS-X, and Debian packages are now available. Amiga Guide format output is no longer available. TROFF output is temporairily unavailable, but will be restored in the next version. SGML DocBook format has been replaced with XML DocBook format.
ntop 2.1.91 posted

CDDA Ripper XP 0.66 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=265724
CDDA Ripper XP is an audio (CD-DA) CD ripper program based on AKRip32. Provides support for NT/2000/XP natively (no ASPI manager required). It supports WAV, MP3, OGG, WMA encoding. It uses newest and quality encoders, like LAME 3.93.1 and OGG/Vorbis 1.0. Version 0.66 has new features and many bug fixes. Now CDDA Ripper XP can optionally use an external ASPI manager. This may solve the error "No cd-roms found" which appears in some systems. In this release fixed a bug related with the internal CD player (for systems with two CD-ROM drives), a bug that causes the Ok and Cancel button to not be displayed in track settings, a bug that causes the genre to not be saved properly in ID3 tag. An attemp to fix the crash that occures when trying to load the CDDB information of a CD title that has data tracks has been made.

SCO Group Lawsuit Q&A
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/04/1813221
[0]althalus writes "[1]PLUG, the Provo Linux Users Group, of Utah
recently requested representatives from SCO to answer the questions of
the local *nix users regarding their lawsuit. Since this topic has been
the point of a bit of discussion here on slashdot ( [2]1, [3]2, [4]3,
[5]4) We figured it might be nice to get some of the questions from
here. SCO has agreed to allow us to submit a list of questions ahead of
time, and we will contain some of the highest moderated slashdot
questions. SCO has warned us, that since this is an active lawsuit,
there are some questions that obviously cannot be answered at this
time, but overall, feel free to ask. Notes/Answers will be submitted to
slashdot afterwards." Think of this as a third party Ask SCO almost
anything.

(aka VESA modes for those familiar with DOS), saved games, full screen
or windowed viewing, and even the BUILD editor works (to a degree). No
mouse, demos, or networking just yet, but the basic gameplay is there
and now that the BUILD engine has been ported a win32 version is soon
