2010-03-20: ngspice-rework-20-2 (Mixed-level/mixed-signal circuit simulator)
Ngspice is a mixed-level/mixed-signal circuit simulator. Its code
is based on three open source software packages: Spice3f5, Cider1b1
and Xspice.
Spice3 does not need any introduction; it is the most popular circuit
simulator. In over 30 years of its life Spice3 has become a de-facto
standard for simulating circuits.
Cider couples Spice3f5 circuit level simulator to DSIM device simulator
to provide greater simulation accuracy of critical devices. DSIM
devices are described in terms of their structures and materials.
Xspice is an extension to Spice3C1 that provides code modeling support
and simulation of digital components through an embedded event driven
algorithm.
Ngspice is, anyway, a little more than the simple sum of the packages
above, as many people contributed to the project with their experience,
their bug fixes and their improvements. If you are interested, browse
the site and discover what ngspice offers and what needs. If you think
you can help, join the development team.
Ngspice is an ongoing project, growing everyday from users contributions,
suggestions and reports. What we will be able to do depends mostly on
user interests, contributions and feedback.
Ngspice is part of the gEDA project.

bitstring is a pure Python module designed to help make the creation,
manipulation and analysis of binary data as simple and natural as
possible.
BitStrings can be constructed from integers (big and little endian),
hex, octal, binary, strings or files. They can be sliced, joined,
reversed, inserted into, overwritten, etc. with simple functions or
slice notation. They can also be read from, searched and replaced, and
navigated in, similar to a file or stream.

2010-03-18: sylpheed-gpgme-3.0.1-1 (GTK+ based lightweight and fast e-mail client)
Sylpheed is an e-mail client (and news reader) based on GTK+, running on
X Window System, and aiming for
* Quick response
* Graceful, and sophisticated interface
* Easy configuration, intuitive operation
* Abundant features
The appearance and interface are similar to some popular e-mail clients for
Windows, such as Outlook Express, Becky!, and Datula. The interface is also
designed to emulate the mailers on Emacsen, and almost all commands are
accessible with the keyboard.
The messages are managed by MH format, and you'll be able to use it together
with another mailer based on MH format (like Mew). You can also utilize
fetchmail or/and procmail, and external programs on receiving (like inc or
imget).
Note: sylpheed-ssl has been replaced by sylpheed-gpgme, which has exactly
the same functionality. The base sylpheed package now has ssl capability.

2010-03-18: h5py-py26-1.3.0-1 (HDF5 data interface)
HDF5 for Python (h5py) is a general-purpose Python interface to the
Hierarchical Data Format library, version 5. HDF5 is a versatile,
mature scientific software library designed for the fast, flexible
storage of enormous amounts of data.
From a Python programmer's perspective, HDF5 provides a robust way to
store data, organized by name in a tree-like fashion. You can create
datasets (arrays on disk) hundreds of gigabytes in size, and perform
random-access I/O on desired sections. Datasets are organized in a
filesystem-like hierarchy using containers called "groups", and
accessed using the tradional POSIX /path/to/resource syntax. Why
should I use it?
H5py provides a simple, robust read/write interface to HDF5 data from
Python. Existing Python and Numpy concepts are used for the interface;
for example, datasets on disk are represented by a proxy class that
supports slicing, and has dtype and shape attributes. HDF5 groups are
presented using a dictionary metaphor, indexed by name.
A major design goal of h5py is interoperability; you can read your
existing data in HDF5 format, and create new files that any HDF5-
aware program can understand. No Python-specific extensions are used;
you're free to implement whatever file structure your application
desires.
Almost all HDF5 features are available from Python, including things
like compound datatypes (as used with Numpy recarray types), HDF5
attributes, hyperslab and point-based I/O, and more recent features in
HDF 1.8 like resizable datasets and recursive iteration over entire
files.
The foundation of h5py is a near-complete wrapping of the HDF5 C
API. HDF5 identifiers are first-class objects which participate in
Python reference counting, and expose the C API via methods. This
low-level interface is also made available to Python programmers, and
is exhaustively documented.
Features
* Runs on Linux, Mac OS-X and Windows
* High-level interface which supports Numpy slicing syntax,
including ranges, ellipsis objects, recarray indexing of
compound fields, and auto-conversion between Numpy and HDF5
datatypes
* Reads and writes standard HDF5 files (with no Python-specific
extensions) which will work with any other HDF5-aware program
* The complete low-level HDF5 C API is available to Python in an
intuitive, object-oriented fashion. For example, identifiers are
full-fledged objects which expose HDF5 API functions as methods,
and participate in reference counting. No more identifier leaks!
* Every function is documented, including the low-level API
* Error handling uses Python exceptions; the HDF5 library itself
raises exceptions from a complete and fine-grained exception
hierarchy.

2010-03-17: mp3diags-x11-1.0.05.050-1 (Fix problems with mp3 files)
In a few words, MP3 Diags is a GUI-based application that allows end-users
to identify issues with their MP3 files, fix some of the issues and make
other changes, like adding track information. It also lets you "look
inside" an MP3 file.
Unlike some programs that are designed to deal with a single topic (like
fixing VBR headers or adding cover art), MP3 Diags is a one stop solution
that identifies more than 50 different issues in MP3 files and provides the
means to fix many of them (well, not everything is fixable; you can't make
a 64kbps file sound like a 256kbps one.)
Some of the more important issues that are found:
* broken tags / headers / audio
* duplicate tags / headers
* incorrect placement of tags / headers (ID3V2, ID3V1, LAME, Xing)
* low quality audio
* missing VBR header
* missing track info / cover art
* broken track info / cover art
* missing normalization data
* character encoding issues (for languages other than English)
Some of the fixes and changes that MP3 Diags can do:
* Adding / fixing track info, including album cover; information can
be retrieved from several sources: Internet, clipboard, file name,
local files, and (obviously) keyboard
* Correcting files that show incorrect song duration
* Correcting files in which the player cannot seek correctly
* Converting characters for non-English names
* Adding composer name to the artist field, for players that don't
handle the composer field
* Renaming files based on their fields
* Changing word case for track info

* Spam detection using Bayesian analysis of terms contained in each

* Written in C++ for good performance. Database access using
BerkeleyDB for quick startup and fast term count retrieval.
* Recognition and decoding of MIME attachments in quoted-printable
and base64 encoding. Automatically skips non-text attachments.
MIME decoding enables SpamProbe to make decisions based on words in
the emails rather than base64 gobbledigook.
* Counts two word phrases as well as single words for higher
precision.
