Tcllib 1.4.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=275116
tcllib is a Tcl-only library of standard routines for Tcl (no compiling required). This release is a minor version change which fixes numerous bugs and provides a lot of enhancements as well. Tcllib 1.4 release
notes ======================== Hello World, welcome to Tcllib 1.4. This
release is a minor version change which fixes numerous bugs and
provides a lot of enhancements as well. Availability ------------ The
released distributions can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12883&release_id=
157517 Available are gzipped, zipped, and bzipped tarballs, a starkit,
and a starpack for windows. Installation ------------ * For the starkit
and starpack just execute the file and a GUI based installer will pop
up. Fill out the paths, then run the installation. * For the tarballs
unpack them in some directory /foo, then run the file
"/foo/installer.tcl". This will invoke the same installer used in the
starkit and starpack. Note: While the installer will open up a GUI by
default (and if possible), a command line based installation is
provided too. Run the installer with the option "-help" to see what is
available. Known problems -------------- * When using Tcllib 1.4 on a
true 64bit platform, like Linux/Alpha, or Linux/IA-64 the usage of Tcl
8.4.x is strongly recommended. * Package mime, SourceForge Tcllib Bug
#447037 A special case of the above. This problem affects only people
which are using Tcl and Mime on a true 64-bit system. The currently
recommended fix for this problem is to upgrade to Tcl version 8.4. This
version has extended 64 bit support and the bug does not appear
anymore. The problem could have been generally solved by requiring the
use of Tcl 8.4 for this package. We decided against this solution as it
would force a large number of unaffected users to upgrade their Tcl
interpreter for no reason. See
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=447037&group_id=12883&a tid=112883 for additional information.

has been changed completely. Beyond the placement of all doctools
functionality into packages it was also greatly expanded. A new
application based on this expanded functionality, the doctools
processor, "dtp" is also available, as part of the 'tclapps' module in
the 'tcllib' project at SourceForge. A starkit of 'dtp' can be found at

them on their shifts; centralized servers with up to 3.5 TB of storage
will hold recordings. The cameras continuously record and cache old
video in a "Tivo-like" fashion; tapes will start from three to five
minutes before the cop turned on the recorder. Unbiased, high-quality
recording could have a compelling social effect; and at the very least,
we're headed for HDTV Cops."

http://freshmeat.net/releases/122900/
DrIFT is a type sensitive preprocessor for Haskell. It extracts type declarations and directives from modules and applies rules to them which generate code. It is intended that the user can add new rules as required. DrIFT automates instance derivation for classes that aren't supported by the standard compilers. In addition, instances can be produced in separate modules to that containing the type declaration. This allows instances to be derived for a type after the original module has been compiled. Simple utility functions can also be produced from a type.

By filtering while redirecting, mail arrives without any delays, and can be filtered by a seperate host adding headers or content reducing the load on the final mail host.
