Recent Package Updates
2025-11-01: phylip-3.69.7-2 (Package of programs for inferring phylogenies)
PHYLIP (the PHYLogeny Inference Package) is a package of programs for
inferring phylogenies (evolutionary trees).
Methods that are available in the package include parsimony, distance
matrix, and likelihood methods, including bootstrapping and consensus
trees. Data types that can be handled include molecular sequences, gene
frequencies, restriction sites, distance matrices, and 0/1 discrete
characters.
Complete documentation is available on documentation files that come
with the package.

DCMTK is a collection of libraries and applications implementing large
parts the DICOM standard for medical image communication. It includes
software for examining, constructing and converting DICOM image files,
handling offline media, sending and receiving images over a network
connection, as well as demonstration image storage and worklist servers.

add upgrade note2025-10-29: rrdtool-1.4.4-5 (Fixed-size "round-robin" database storage)
RRD is a system to store and display time-series data (i.e. network bandwidth,
machine-room temperature, server load average). It stores the data in a very
compact way that will not expand over time, and it presents useful graphs by
processing the data to enforce a certain data density. It can be used either
via simple wrapper scripts (from shell or Perl) or via frontends that poll
network devices and put a friendly user interface on it.

rrdtool: freshen the build, with lots of tcl fixes2025-10-29: tklib-0.9-1 (Tk Standard Library)
This package is intended to be a collection of Tcl packages that provide
utility functions useful to a large collection of Tcl programmers.

tklib: new version2025-10-29: bwidget-1.10.1-1 (High-level widget set for Tcl/Tk)
The BWidget Toolkit is a high-level Widget Set for Tcl/Tk built using
native Tcl/Tk 8.x namespaces.
The BWidgets have a professional look&feel as in other well known
Toolkits (Tix or Incr Widgets), but the concept is radically different
because everything is pure Tcl/Tk. No platform dependencies, and no
compiling required. The code is 100% Pure Tcl/Tk.

bwidget: new version2025-10-28: bento4-1.6.0-641-1 (C++ toolkit for MP4 and DASH/HLS/CMAF media)
Bento4 MP4, DASH, HLS, CMAF SDK and Tools
A fast, modern, open source C++ toolkit for all your MP4 and
DASH/HLS/CMAF media format needs.
Bento4 is a C++ class library and tools designed to read and write
ISO-MP4 files. This format is defined in international specifications
ISO/IEC 14496-12, 14496-14 and 14496-15. The format is a derivative of
the Apple Quicktime file format, so Bento4 can be used to read and write
most Quicktime files as well. In addition to supporting ISO-MP4, Bento4
includes support for parsing and multiplexing H.264 and H.265 elementary
streams, converting ISO-MP4 to MPEG2-TS, packaging HLS and MPEG-DASH,
CMAF, content encryption, decryption, and much more.
