Dirac is a prototype video codec, under development by BBC R&D, and initially
released in March 2003.
Dirac is a general-purpose video codec aimed at resolutions from QCIF
(180x144) to HDTV (1920x1080) progressive or interlaced. It uses wavelets,
motion compensation and arithmetic coding and aims to be competitive with
other state of the art codecs.
FAAC is an AAC audio encoder. FAAC currently supports MPEG-4 LTP,
MAIN and LOW COMPLEXITY object types and MAIN and LOW MPEG-2 object types.
It also supports multichannel and gapless encoding.
AdvanceCOMP is a collection of recompression utilities for your .ZIP archives,
.PNG snapshots, .MNG video clips and .GZ files.
It's mainly intended for recompressing your rom, snapshot and clip collection
of emulated games.
The main features are:
* Recompress ZIP, GZ, PNG and MNG files using the Deflate 7-Zip
implementation.
* Recompress MNG files using Delta and Move optimization.
The libjit library implements Just-In-Time compilation functionality. Unlike
other JIT's, this one is designed to be independent of any particular virtual
machine bytecode format or language. The hope is that Free Software projects
can get a leg-up on proprietry VM vendors by using this library rather than
spending large amounts of time writing their own JIT from scratch.
This JIT is also designed to be portable to multiple archictures. If you run
libjit on a machine for which a native code generator is not yet available,
then libjit will fall back to interpreting the code. This way, you don't need
to write your own interpreter for your bytecode format if you don't want to.
Changes since 0.81.1 include:
- Everything from MAME 0.82 (http://x.mame.net/changes-mame.html) and
MESS 0.82 (http://x.mame.net/changes-mess.html).
- Improved the message that is displayed when a suitable X11 visual
cannot be found. Fixes Bugzilla bug 219. (Christopher Stone)
- Fixed the most egregious formatting errors in the xmame.6 manpage.

sign is a file signing and signature verification utility.
It's main purpose is to be a simple and convenient extension to a tar/gz/bzip2
line of tools that performs file integrity and authenticity checks. It's small
and simple, it does just one thing and hopenfully does it well.
It is distributed under the BSD license.
2.2.0 - Sat May 15, 2004
------------------------
* Replace GdkFont text drawing with Pango.
* Add plugin capability to the gkrellmd server. Wrote demo5 plugin as a
tutorial on a client/server capable plugin.
* Minimize Pango drawing to get CPU usage down:
1) Draw chart text on a caching text layer.
2) Add a "scroll text" api to text decals where a Pango string is
drawn on a pixmap which can be srolled by setting the decal offset.
See the plugins and themes changelog for more info.
* linux.c reads temperatures from the hddtemp daemon so disk temperature
display can be consistent with other sensors (and detected by gkrellmd).
