DAViCal is a server for calendar sharing. It is an implementation of the
CalDAV protocol which is designed for storing calendaring resources (in
iCalendar format) on a remote shared server.
DAViCal supports basic delegation of read/write access among calendar users,
multiple users (or clients) reading and writing the same calendar entries over
time, and scheduling of meetings with free/busy time displayed.
An increasing number of calendar clients support the maintenance of shared
remote calendars through CalDAV, including Evolution, Mulberry, Chandler,
Mozilla Calendar (Sunbird/Lightning), and various other closed-source
products such as Apple's iCal and iPhone.
Andrew's Web Libraries are a set of hopefully lightweight libraries for
handling a variety of useful things for web programming, including:
- Session management
- User management
- DB Records
- Simple reporting
- DB Schema Updating
- iCalendar parsing
* Fixed HD boot drive when drive C: does not exist. TOS 2.06 was
crashing during the boot process when drive C: did not exist, but
* Fixed drive enumeration of GEMDOS HD emulation. Single partition
GEMDOS HD emulation did not work anymore when an ACSI HD image was
also used, due to some problems with the automatic drive letter detection.
* Fix ConnectedDriveMask with multiple, non-contiguous GEMDOS partitions.
* Fix to incorrect use of DESTDIR in python-ui installation
* more compact debugger output (return to emulation msg)
* update copyright, fix trace settings names
* fix: debugger memdump/disasm show/save/load need now to use '$' for hex
* Improved the CSS of the manual and compatibility list. The "font-
family:Fixed" did not work at all on Windows. Also cleaned up the
CSS in general.
* The hatari icons for the Windows executable must not be put into an
archive for linking.
- Feature improvements
* Print more descriptive error message for too many EAP sessions.
This gives hints on what to do when "failed to store handler"
* Commands received from radmin are now printed on stdout when
in debugging mode.
* Allow accounting packets to be written to a detail file, even
if they were read from a different detail file.
* Added OpenSSL license exception (src/LICENSE.openssl)
- Bug fixes
* DHCP sockets can now set the broadcast flag before binding to a
socket. You need to set "broadcast = yes" in the DHCP listener.
* Be more restrictive on string parsing in the config files
* Fix password length in scripts/create-users.pl
* Be more flexible about parsing the detail file. This allows
it to read files where the attributes have been edited.
* Ensure that requests read from the detail file are cleaned up
(i.e. don't leak) if they are proxied without a response.
* Write the PID file after opening sockets, not before
(closes bug #29)
* Proxying large numbers of packets no longer gives error
"unable to open proxy socket".
* Avoid mutex locks in libc after fork
* Retry packet from detail file if there was no response.
* Allow old-style dictionary formats, where the vendor name is the
last field in an ATTRIBUTE definition.
* Removed all recursive use of mutexes. Some systems just don't
support this.
* Allow !* to work as documented.
* make templates work (see templates.conf)
* Enabled "allow_core_dumps" to work again
* Print better errors when reading invalid dictionaries
* Sign client certificates with CA, rather than server certs.
* Fix potential crash in rlm_passwd when file was closed
* Fixed corner cases in conditional dynamic expansion.
* Use InnoDB for MySQL IP Pools, to gain transactional support
* Apply patch to libltdl for CVE-2009-3736.
* Fixed a few issues found by LLVM's static checker
* Keep track of "bad authenticators" for accounting packets
* Keep track of "dropped packets" for auth/acct packets
* Synced the "debian" directory with upstream
* Made "unlang" use unsigned 32-bit integers, to match the
dictionaries.
While here fix broken user destination directory installation as well.
* Add CUPS_CACHE and use it.
* Add CUPS_STATEDIR and add it to OWN_DIRS
* Move ${CUPS_CONFDIR}/certs to ${CUPS_STATEDIR}/certs
* Add ${CUPS_CACHE}/rss
* Use ${ROOT_USER} instead of ${CUPS_USER} for all OWN_DIRS_PERMS except
${CUPS_STATEDIR}/certs.
uShare is a UPnP (TM) A/V Media Server. It implements the server component that
provides UPnP media devices with information on available multimedia files.
uShare uses the built-in http server of libupnp to stream the files to clients.
GeeXboX uShare is able to provide access to both images, videos, music or
playlists files (see below for a complete file format support list). It does not
act as an UPnP Media Adaptor and thus, can't transcode streams to fit the client
requirements.
uShare is written in C for the GeeXboX project. It is designed to provide access
to multimedia contents to GeeXboX but can of course be used by any other UPnP
client device. It should compile and run on any modern POSIX compatible system
such as Linux.
uShare is free software - it is licensed under the terms of the GNU General
Public License (GPL).
libdlna aims at being the reference open-source implementation of DLNA (Digital
Living Network Alliance) standards. Its primary goal is to provide DLNA support
to uShare, an embedded DLNA & UPnP A/V Media Server, but it will be used to
build both DLNA servers and players in the long term.
libdlna is written in C and relies on FFMPEG librairies (libavformat and
libavcodec) to handle and demux A/V streams. You still need libupnp to provide
basic UPnP support to your project.
libdlna is based on official DLNA specifications and aims at a providing a
complete respect of the defined standards. Right now, libdlna can be used to
build compliant DLNA Media Servers.

The Asterisk releases for 1.6.0.28 and 1.6.1.20 are the last maintenance
releases for Asterisk branches 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 and have now moved to security
maintenance only.
The releases of Asterisk 1.6.0.28 and 1.6.1.20 resolves several issues reported
by the community, and would have not been possible without your participation.
Thank you!
The following are a few of the issues resolved by community developers:
* Fix issue where MixMonitor() recordings would be shorter than total duration
.
(Closes issue #17078. Reported,tested by geoff2010. Patched by dhubbard)
* When StopMonitor() is called, ensure it will not be restarted by a channel
event.
(Closes issue #16590. Reported, patched by kkm)
* Allow hidecalleridname feature to work.

* Ensure channel state is not incorrectly set in the case of a very early
answer by chan_dahdi.
(Closes issue #17067. Reported, patched by tzafrir)
* Registration fix for SIP realtime. Make sure realtime fields are not empty.
(Closes issue #17266. Reported, patched by Nick_Lewis. Tested by sberney)

printer discovery (STR #3065)

in length (STR #3072)
- Fixed pdftops issues with page sizes (STR #3063)
- Fixed pdftops issues with Ghostscript (STR #3062)
- The scheduler incorrectly registered default profiles for PostScript
printers with no specified colorspace.

- The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
its jobs.
- The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
- Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels
