* Rationalised formatting options a little, and added missing case options, such as "day" for lower-case day, etc. Please note that localisation is no longer taken into account for month/day name case, so Europeans who want to see the days/months without capitalisation will need to use lower case in the format string.

Copernicus - 1.5.1

Copernicus has been redesigned from the ground up to bring you the easiest screen capture and movie capture available.

It features the ability to capture movies directly to ram, offering higher framerates than possible with other programs. Once you are done recording your movie, you can export to any video format that QuickTime supports, including MPEG-4.

By default, screenshots are automatically directed to the thumbnail viewer, where you can sort through the screenshots you've taken, and make modifications such as removing the mouse cursor, or adding a watermark. Screenshots can be saved to many formats, including JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, and more.

The region selection tool is far more powerful than the one built into Mac OS X. Invoking region capture darkens the entire screen by 50%, then highlights your selection, so you can see exactly the picture you are going to get. The advanced mode allows you to create a selection rectangle by dragging the mouse. The arrow keys also work as nudge keys, and the coordinates of the selection are displayed in the sampler window. As a final added bonus, Copernicus can capture pictures of Classic applications, unlike the built in screenshot tool in OS X.


What's new in this version:

* Copernicus no longer requires registration.
* Better compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger".

LAConvolver - 0.1

LAConvolver is an Audio Units plug-in for convolving the audio stream with an impulse response stored in an audio file. LAConvolver is free but donations will certainly encourage further development.

Features:

* Support for 1 to 128 audio channels, all with independent impulse responses
* Most audio file formats supported for the impulse responses
* Automatic sample rate conversion of impulse responses if needed
* Low latency, determined by number of frames per slice
* Sensing of silence in impulse responses gives low CPU load for delay effects

Known issues:

* Limited testing, especially on Intel
* Universal but not optimized for Intel

Performance:

The CPU-load is highly dependent on the number of frames per slice, larger slices give lower CPU-load. On an iBook G4 800 MHz with a sample rate of 44,100 Hz and 4096 frames per slice the CPU-load is about 3% per second of impulse response.

PHP - 5.2.1

PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language. If you are new to PHP and want to get some idea of how it works, try the introductory tutorial. After that, check out the online manual, and the example archive sites and some of the other resources available in the links section.


What's new in this version:

Security Enhancements and Fixes in PHP 5.2.1:

* Fixed possible safe_mode & open_basedir bypasses inside the session extension.
* Prevent search engines from indexing the phpinfo() page.
* Fixed a number of input processing bugs inside the filter extension.
* Fixed unserialize() abuse on 64 bit systems with certain input strings.
* Fixed possible overflows and stack corruptions in the session extension.
* Fixed an underflow inside the internal sapi_header_op() function.
* Fixed allocation bugs caused by attempts to allocate negative values in some code paths.
* Fixed possible stack overflows inside zip, imap & sqlite extensions.
* Fixed several possible buffer overflows inside the stream filters.
* Fixed non-validated resource destruction inside the shmop extension.
* Fixed a possible overflow in the str_replace() function.
* Fixed possible clobbering of super-globals in several code paths.
* Fixed a possible information disclosure inside the wddx extension.
* Fixed a possible string format vulnerability in *print() functions on 64 bit systems.
* Fixed a possible buffer overflow inside mail() and ibase_{delete,add,modify}_user() functions.
* Fixed a string format vulnerability inside the odbc_result_all() function.
* Memory limit is now enabled by default.
* Added internal heap protection.
* Extended filter extension support for $_SERVER in CGI and apache2 SAPIs.

The majority of the security vulnerabilities discovered and resolved can in most cases be only abused by local users and cannot be triggered remotely. However, some of the above issues can be triggered remotely in certain situations, or exploited by malicious local users on shared hosting setups utilizing PHP as an Apache module. Therefore, we strongly advise all users of PHP, regardless of the version to upgrade to 5.2.1 release as soon as possible. PHP 4.4.5 with equivalent security corrections is available as well.

The key improvements of PHP 5.2.1 include:

* Several performance improvements in the engine, streams API and some Windows specific optimizations.
* PDO_MySQL now uses buffered queries by default and emulates prepared statements to bypass limitations of MySQL's prepared statement API.
* Many improvements and enhancements to the filter and zip extensions.
* Memory limit is now always enabled, this includes Windows builds, with a default limit of 128 megabytes.
* Added several performance optimizations using faster Win32 APIs (this change means that PHP no longer supports Windows 98).
* FastCGI speed optimized build of PHP for Windows made available for downloading.
* Over 180 bug fixes.

OSXFlex2D - 1.9



OSXFlex2D is a program that implements the "elastic" , "flexural" model. Crustal loads can be entered and plotted, the profile of deformation produced by these loads can be computed and visualized, and the effect of changes in model parameters can be evaluated at real time. Geologists often talk about the "flexural" link between tectonic loads and sedimentary basins, but they rarely do the math. Perhaps, because implementing the "flexural" model is tedious, specially if it is done in spreadsheets. OSXFlex2D makes "flexural modeling" an easy and enjoyable task.
