After more than 2 months, this is an overdue release. There are a lot
of bugfixes and new features, see the distributed ChangeLog for details.
Main changes:
* The main new feature is that the OpenNap servers are now the default
for nap. The reason for this is that Napster Inc. has modified their
servers to use a new client auth scheme, which means that nap users
can no longer connect to their servers. Nap will automatically
download a list of available servers from napigator.com, and then
connect to the first available one.
* Nap's sourceforge page has been updated and now fully operational.
You are encouraged to use sourceforge's facilities for bug reports,
feature requests, etc.

FFTW is a free collection of fast C routines for computing the
Discrete Fourier Transform in one or more dimensions. It includes
complex, real, and parallel transforms, and can handle arbitrary
array sizes efficiently. FFTW is typically faster than other
publically-available FFT implementations, and is even competitive
with vendor-tuned libraries. (See our web page for extensive
benchmarks.) To achieve this performance, FFTW uses novel code-generation
and runtime self-optimization techniques (along with many other
tricks).

This release features oodles of bug fixes with cutting text,
especially with the -k (cut to end) option. There is also a new
suspend handler which should make nano play better with mutt. Nano
now also features mutt's case insensitive string compare function
for more speed and less memory usage. Two new translations are
included, Ukrainian and Russian.

The Gtk module allows Perl access to the Gtk+ graphical user interface
library. The Perl binding tries to follow the C interface as much
as possible, providing at the same time a fully object oriented
interface and Perl-style calling conventions.

Pychart is a Python library for creating high-quality charts in
Postscript and PDF. It produces line plots, bar plots, range-fill
plots, and pie charts.
The author seems to have dropped gettext and any NLS support.
Changes:
* Fix a minor bug that caused problems when sending files,
* Shows a warning when you run more than one clients with the same UIN,
* Fix a big that caused some messages not to appear in history,
* Manual page included in the package - centericq(1),
* An ability to turn off local mailbox checking was added.

Mico is a freely available and complete CORBA-compliant implementation.
It allows applications to interoperate in a distributed and
heterogeneous environment, regardless of the locations of the
applications, operating systems and programming language.

Fix socklen_t check in acinclude.m4 to work for OpenBSD (at least)
Changelog:
* Fixed some hangs that occured when seeking in MPEG files
* Reworked the looping code - it should work better now
* Fixed memory leak when sound was disabled
* Widened initial search for audio streams in MPEG files
* plaympeg now shows the name of the MPEG file in the caption
* Added a check for the socklen_t type (was broken -pval)
* Fixed crash with incorrectly encoded macroblock sequences
* Fixed a crash when the MPEG file can't be opened
* Fixed crash in gtv when seeking without a file loaded
Fvwm is a window manager for X, which provides a virtual/multiple
disjoint desktop, a 3D look for windows decorations, shaped/color
icons. It gives a very good emulation of mwm. A nice button-bar
can be used to provide convenient access to frequently used
functions of programs.
Flavors:
rplay - build with audio/rplay and provide sound support
debug - turn on debugging messages

Will co-exist with the fvwm in XF4, with the idea of being on the
bleeding edge, with more extras built in and flavors for choice.
