webcheck is a Web site checking tool for Web
masters. It crawls a given Web site and generates
a number of reports. The whole system is
pluggable, allowing extra reports and checks to be
added easily. It supports retrieving Web sites
over HTTP, file, and FTP protocols and produces
reports on site structure, broken links, old Web
pages, overviews of external links, and more. The
links that webcheck considers external are
configurable through regular expressions, and
webcheck honors robots.txt.

Changes:
This release changes the HTML parser to
BeautifulSoup (when available). This parser is
much more error-tolerant than the old HTMLParser
based solution but is also slightly slower. Some
small output improvements were made as well as
some internal improvements to better support
Unicode content. Parsing of robots.txt files was
re-enabled and an –ignore-robots option was
added.

XLSperl lets you process and create Microsoft Excel (.xls) files from the commandline using the standard Perl "one-liner" command format. This makes it easy to grep data from Excel documents without needing to use a GUI application.

MyProfi is a commandline tool that parses MySQL
query logs and outputs
statistics for the queries found. The statistics
shows the most popular,
the slowest, and the most time-locked queries, as
well as other valuable
information, so the developer may easily see the
problematic queries and
start optimizing them right away. Queries are
grouped together by their
normalized view, so all variable parts of queries
are stripped, which
makes the statistics clearer and more useful.

Seismic Toolkit is a tool for processing and displaying seismic signal data in a graphical interface. It reads seismic signals in SAC format, and provides a variety of signal processing, such as filtering, spectral analysis, polarisation analysis, time-frequency representation, Hilbert transform, and singular value decomposition. Some utilities are included for useful seismological applications, like computation of Seismic Moment Mo, Mantle magnitude Mm and Moment magnitude Mw, MTPA spectral analysis, plotting focal mechanisms, computation (and plotting) of instrumental response from poles and zeros, and some usefull GMT (Generic Mapping Tool) scripts for plotting signals, responses, and time-frequency in Postscript files for high quality prints.

Changes:
PPOL_MTPA is a new utility program that was added to the project for computing polarization of P wave in the frequency domain. The spectral analysis tool is based on the MTPA method (Multi Proplate Taper Analysis). With this method, set polarization parameters are computed at each given frequency.

Partition Logic is a partitioning and disk management tool for PC-compatible computers. It includes its own standalone operating system and GUI, and can fit on a single bootable floppy (or CD). It creates, modifies, resizes, deletes, formats, and moves partitions, and copies hard disks. It is based on the Visopsys operating system.

Changes:
This is an important maintenance release, with a focus on disk I/O performance, secure deletion (shredding) of files/partitions/disks, and bug fixes, including a data corruption problem, and changes to the OS loader, resulting in more reliable booting on more systems.
