VirtualBox 3.0.10.54097

VirtualBoxVirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software.
Some of the features of VirtualBox are:

* Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox.
* Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

Change Log:

- SeaMonkey uses the same internal platform as Firefox 3.5.4 now. Due to this change SeaMonkey is now much closer to Firefox as far as user profiles, add-ons and functionality of user interface elements are concerned.

- The default location of user profiles has changed. Legacy profiles, e.g. from SeaMonkey 1.x, or even Thunderbird profiles, can be migrated automatically, excluding third-party add-ons (extensions and themes). The old profile will not be touched (instead, copies are made).

- The new Add-on Manager allows to install, update, disable and remove extensions (add-ons), themes and plugins using the same mechanisms Firefox uses. This should ease extension management and development considerably.

- Session restore (crash recovery) has been added. Now, when SeaMonkey crashes, all your browser windows and tabs will be restored automatically or on request (including data entered in web forms!). In addition, users can select to always restore the browser windows and tabs from their last open session when starting SeaMonkey.

- Reopening closed browser windows (Undo Close Window) is now possible.

- History is now stored in a better database solution, so that it can easily keep more information, and the location bar determines which addresses to autocomplete and/or show in the drop down menu with a smarter algorithm based on what you type, searching in both URL and title of visited pages by default.

- Toolbars in the browser, main MailNews and message compose windows are now fully customizable, including icon size and whether to display icons and/or text for every major toolbar, all available via their context menus.

- The MailNews component now includes support for reading RSS and Atom feeds. The browser detects feeds offered by web pages, can preview them and offers different ways to subscribe to them.

- New IMAP accounts will now keep local offline copies by default, as a part of a number of speed improvements when working with IMAP. Synchronization can be disabled per account or for individual folders, and limited to the most recent messages in the Synchronization & Storage settings.

- Tabbed Mail enables accounts, folders and even single messages to be opened in tabs inside the Mail & Newsgroups window. This feature also enables the Lightning extension to be installed into SeaMonkey for calendering functionality.
Password Manager was switched to an improved version, allowing easier searching, and notification bars replacing modal dialogs for remembering logins.

- Download Manager has been completely reworked, including support for cross-session resumable downloads.

- A new form manager replaces all previous web form management, and automatically keeps a record of what you type into forms and presents you these options in a drop-down list when you come back.

- Cookie Manager has been improved and now allows searching for cookies by site and cookie name.

- Gecko, the rendering engine used in SeaMonkey, has seen many improvements since the version used in the last stable release. Changes range from a better graphics backend (Cairo/Thebes) to improved support for fonts, CSS, DOM and JavaScript. SeaMonkey 2.0 passes the Acid2 test and most of Acid3 and includes all the HTML5 and other new web-facing features also included in Firefox 3.5, such as audio/video elements, downloadable fonts and JIT-compiled JavaScript.

- Most of the icons in the default theme have been exchanged for newer images that fit better with the look of modern desktop environments.

- The default theme on Mac OS X was completely renewed to better fit with the look of Leopard and Snow Leopard.

- For extension developers, SMILE is introduced, making interfaces known from FUEL and STEEL also available in SeaMonkey.

- Support for Windows 95, 98, Me and NT 4 was dropped. GTK 2.10 or higher is now required on Linux/UNIX. Support for Mac OS X 10.3 ("Panther") and 10.2 ("Jaguar") was also dropped.

Change Log:

- Improved Collaboration support : AbiWord's collaborative capabilities are greatly improved in this release. For example, it gained the ability to distinguish the text written by different authors using various text highlight colors while collaborating. Figure 1 shows a document being edited by three different authors at the same time. The collaboration support has been tightly integrated with the new online web service called http://abicollab.net/, which lets you store documents online, allows easy document sharing with your friends, and performs format conversions on the fly.

- Annotation / Comment support : AbiWord 2.8.0 gained support for annotations, or "comments". You can annotate any piece of text with a remark that will show up when you hover over it with your mouse. A list of all remarks will be displayed in the footer area on every page if desired.

- Smart Quote support : Proper Smart Quote support has been added in this latest release. While older AbiWord releases claimed to have it on board (there was a preference to enable Smart Quotes), it was never (properly) implemented.

- Multi-Page View : Also new in 2.8.0 is the ability to view multiple pages side by side. This is convenient for users who have large widescreen monitors, or for quickly getting an overview of the document.

- True Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) support : The GTK port of AbiWord has gained proper SVG support in the 2.8.0 release. While previous AbiWord releases had the ability to import SVG images, their quality was low. This has been fixed, and SVG images will now look better on screen and in print.It's worth noting that importing WMF images from Microsoft Word documents will also result in high quality images now, as they too won't be rasterised anymore.

- Improved OpenDocument Format support : The AbiWord development team considers support for the Open Document Format (ODF) important for a number of reasons, including long term durability and our interoperability with other products on the market. These days many governments, companies and individual users are moving to ODF. Thanks to an ongoing grant from NLnet Foundation, AbiWord is on its our way to become one the best ODF implementations on the word processor market. This release incorporates many improvements to the ODF import/export filters, such as documents with page anchorred images and frames that are now properly imported, as well as documents with a relative width to columns and tables. Coupled with a large number of other improvements makes that AbiWord's support for ODF is better than ever.

- New printing framework : The printing system in the GTK port of AbiWord has been completely rewritten. The most notable change is the support for GTK Print in favor of the deprecated gnome-print. Furthermore the quality of the Postscript and PDF output has been increased significantly, which was made possible by porting our rendering code to use cairo.

- Including:

* Many improvements to the document import and export filters, most notably the OpenDocument (.odt), Office Open XML (.docx), Rich Text Format (.rtf) and LaTeX (.tex) filters.
* A new S5 exporter has been added.
* The GNOME Office Chart plugin has been updated to be able to embed entire Gnumeric spreadsheet documents (GTK version only).

- Note to Developers and Distributors : Some specific changes might be of interest to software developers and distributors -

* For people scripting AbiWord to print from the command line, a change in the command line options was made. A typical way to print a file directly from the command line would now be:
abiword --to=ps --to-name=fd://1 file.abw | lpr

* A totally revamped build system has been put in place, making it more standards compliant and allowing cross-compilation of the Windows version on Linux/Unix systems. The plugins are included in the abiword source tarball now as well.

* The GTK port had its rendering code ported to use cairo for all its output (the Windows and OS X ports will follow later).

* Make the Mac OSX port compile again (we won't consider it a supported port until we move it to the new cairo-based renderer).

* Removed a ton of deprecated GTK functions.

* Make the code compile almost completely warning free.

* Move from Glade to GTK Builder to construct our dialogs in the GTK port.

* For people embedding AbiWord using the provided GTK AbiWidget, the Web view was reworked to make text flow in a way to use all available space allocated to the widget. This in contrast to view modes such as the "Print Preview" and "Normal" mode, which are more paper-oriented.

* For people packaging pyabiword, make sure to compile libabiword using the --enable-dynamic flag, otherwise plugins will fail to load.

Completely automatic and very easy to use, fast, low overhead, with several optimization strategies, and can handle floppies, USB disks, memory sticks, and anything else that looks like a disk to Windows.
Included are a Windows version, a commandline version (for scheduling by the task scheduler or for use from administrator scripts), a screensaver version, a DLL library (for use from programming languages), versions for Windows X64, and the complete sources.

Why use this defragger instead of the standard Windows defragger?

* Much faster.
* Totally automatic, extremely easy to use.
* Optimized for daily use.
* Disk optimization, several strategies.
* Directories are moved to the beginning of the disk.
* Reclaims MFT reserved space after disk-full.
* Maintains free spaces for temporary files.
* Can defragment very full harddisks.
* Can defragment very large files.
* Can defragment individual directories and files.
* Can be run automatically with the Windows Scheduler.
* Can be used from the commandline.
* Can be used as a screen saver.
* Can be run from cdrom or memory stick.
* Sources available, can be customized.

JKDefrag was open source, but from version 4, when it changed its name to MyDefrag, it is closed source.

Change Log:

- Fixed a bug in the Title() setting that caused it not to replace macros.

- Fixed a bug where a change in the size of the windows would not be remembered if the windows were not moved away from the top-left of the screen.

- Added a parameter to PlaceNtfsSystemFiles to set the size of the NTFS reserved area.

- Added the !ProgressPercentage! macro.

- The script chooser will no longer display volumes that are excluded with ExcludeVolumes() in the Settings.MyD file.

- Changed the syntax of the MakeGap and AddGap actions. It is now possible to place zones anywhere, they do not have to be placed one-after-another from the beginning of the disk.

- Changed the default scripts so that the MFT, some other NTFS system files, and the directories, are now placed 30% into the data on the disk.

- Fixed a bug in the screensaver that would not display the progress percentage.

- Fixed a bug in the graphics code that will properly show StatusBar(path) if StatusBar(Status) is not specified.

- Changed the vacate function so that when there are no gaps above the end of the zone, it will use the highest gap available. Before it would use the first gap available.

- Changed the default script for the screensaver into Optimize Daily. Before it was Optimize Weekly.

- Changed the default setting for the status bar of the screensaver into Full Status Bar. Before it was No Status Bar.

- The positions of the windows are now also saved when the windows are moved and not only when they are resized.

- If the Windows defragmentation API has not succesfully moved an NTFS compressed file then MyDefrag will no longer try to move the file with the alternative method, but leave the file where it is and mark it as unmovable. The alternative method is extremely slow for compressed files.

- Made a change that should increase the chance of succesfully moving files on Windows 2000 machines. Sometimes files could not be succesfully moved and they would be marked as unmovable.

- Fixed a bug that caused unnecessary work and unfilled gaps at the end of a zone for the SortBy fileactions.

- The script chooser window will now list scripts that contain a syntax error. The description of the script shows the error.

- Fixed a bug where the subroutine that determines if a file is fragmented (see the IgnoreWrapAroundFragmentation setting) would treat gaps as unmovable.

- Fixed a bug that caused the program to skip very big FAT volumes.

- If the Sortby fileactions find two files to be equal (for example SortBySize and files with equal size) then the program will now also compare the Inodes. This reduces the number of filemovements.

- The !Include PATH! macro is now evaluated before any other macros, so that macros inside the included file will be processed.

Change Log:

Bugs fixed:

* Incompatible Change: In binary installations of MySQL, the supplied binary-configure script would start and configure MySQL, even when request help on the command with the --help command-line option. The --help, if provided, will no longer start and install the server. (Bug#30954)

* Partitioning: When reorganizing partitions, not all affected subpartitions were removed prior to renaming. One way in which the issue was visible was that attempting to reorganize two partitions into a single partition having the same name as one of the original partitions could lead to a crash of the server. (Bug#47029)
See also Bug#45961, Bug#43729.

* Partitioning: An online or fast ALTER TABLE of a partitioned table could leave behind temporary files in the database directory. (Bug#46483)

* Partitioning: When performing an INSERT ... SELECT into a partitioned table, read_buffer_size bytes of memory were allocated for every partition in the target table, resulting in consumption of large amounts of memory when the table had many partitions (more than 100).
This fix changes the method used to estimate the buffer size required for each partition and limits the total buffer size to a maximum of approximately 10 times read_buffer_size. (Bug#45840)

* Partitioning: Inserting negative values into an AUTO_INCREMENT column of a partitioned table could lead to apparently unrelated errors or a crash of the server. (Bug#45823)

* Partitioning: Unnecessary calls were made in the server code for performing bulk inserts on partitions for which no inserts needed to be made. (Bug#35845)See also Bug#35843.

* Replication: Performing ALTER TABLE ... DISABLE KEYS on a slave table caused row-based replication to fail. (Bug#47312)

* Replication: BEGIN statements were not included in the output of mysqlbinlog. (Bug#46998)

* Replication: When using row-based replication, importing a dump made with mysqldump and replicating a row with an AUTO_INCREMENT column set to 0, with NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO active on the master, the row was inserted successfully on the master; however any setting for NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO was ignored on the slave. When the AUTO_INCREMENT column was incremented, this caused replication to fail on the slave due to a duplicate key error. In some cases it could also cause the slave to crash. (Bug#45999)

* Replication: Concurrent transactions that inserted rows into a table with an AUTO_INCREMENT column could break statement-based or mixed-format replication error 1062 Duplicate entry '...' for key 'PRIMARY' on the slave. This was especially likely to happen when one of the transactions activated a trigger that inserted rows into the table with the AUTO_INCREMENT column, although other conditions could also cause the issue to manifest. (Bug#45677)

* Replication: By default, all statements executed by the mysql_upgrade program on the master are written to the binary log, then replicated to the slave. In some cases, this can result in problems; for example, it attempted to alter log tables on replicated databases (this failed due to logging being enabled).
As part of this fix, a new mysql_upgrade option --write-binlog is added. Its inverse, --skip-write-binlog, can be used to disable binary logging while the upgrade is in progress. (Bug#43579)

* Replication: On the master, if a binary log event is larger than max_allowed_packet, the error message ER_MASTER_FATAL_ERROR_READING_BINLOG is sent to a slave when it requests a dump from the master, thus leading the I/O thread to stop. On a slave, the I/O thread stops when receiving a packet larger than max_allowed_packet.
In both cases, however, there was no Last_IO_Error reported, which made it difficult to determine why the slave had stopped in such cases. Now, Last_IO_Error is reported when max_allowed_packet is exceeded, and provides the reason for which the slave I/O thread stopped. (Bug#42914) See also Bug#14068, Bug#47200, Bug#47303.

* API: The fix for Bug#24507 could lead in some cases to client application failures due to a race condition. Now the server waits for the “dummy” thread to return before exiting, thus making sure that only one thread can initialize the POSIX threads library. (Bug#42850)

* The pthread_cond_wait() implementations for Windows could deadlock in some rare circumstances. (Bug#47768)

* On Mac OS X or Windows, sending a SIGHUP signal to the server or an asynchronous flush (triggered by flush_time) caused the server to crash. (Bug#47525)

* Debug builds could not be compiled with the Sun Studio compiler. (Bug#47474)

* A multiple-table UPDATE involving a natural join and a mergeable view raised an assertion. (Bug#47150)

* Solaris binary packages now are compiled with -g0 rather than -g. (Bug#47137)

* EXPLAIN caused a server crash for certain valid queries. (Bug#47106)

* The configure option --without-server did not work. (Bug#46980)

* ailed multiple-table DELETE statements could raise an assertion. (Bug#46958)

* When creating a new instance on Windows using mysqld-nt and the --install parameter, the value of the service would be set incorrectly, resulting in a failure to start the configured service. (Bug#46917)

* The server crashed when re-using outer column references in correlated subqueries when the enclosing query used a temp table. (Bug#46791)

* Assertion failure could result from repeated execution of a stored procedure containing an incorrect query with a subselect. (Bug#46629)

* The server ignored the setting of sync_frm for CREATE TABLE ... LIKE. (Bug#46591)

* An attempt to create a table with the same name as an existing view could cause a server crash. (Bug#46384)

* A parser problem prevented properly stripping backquotes from an argument to a user-defined function (UDF). If the UDF was in an ORDER BY clause, its name would not be properly resolved against an alias with the same name in the select list. (Bug#46259)

* Dropping an InnoDB table that used an unknown collation (created on a different server, for example) caused a server crash. (Bug#46256)

* Certain SELECT statements containing DISTINCT, GROUP BY, and HAVING clauses could hang in an infinite loop. (Bug#46159)

* InnoDB did not disallow creation of an index with the name GEN_CLUST_INDEX, which is used internally. (Bug#46000)

* CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE failed for InnoDB tables on systems with case-insensitive file systems when lower_case_table_names = 2 and the pathname of the temporary file directory contained uppercase characters. (Bug#45638)

* Appending values to an ENUM or SET definition is a metadata change for which ALTER TABLE need not rebuild the table, but it was being rebuilt anyway. (Bug#45567)

* The socket system variable was unavailable on Windows. (Bug#45498)

* When re-installing MySQL on Windows on a server that has a data directory from a previous MySQL installation, the installer would fail to identify the existence of the installation and the password configured for the root user. (Bug#45200)

* Client flags were incorrectly initialized for the embedded server, causing several tests in the jp test suite to fail. (Bug#45159)

* InnoDB did not always disallow creating tables containing columns with names that match the names of internal columns, such as DB_ROW_ID, DB_TRX_ID, DB_ROLL_PTR, and DB_MIX_ID. (Bug#44369)

* SELECT ... WHERE ... IN (NULL, ...) was executed using a full table scan, even if the same query without the NULL used an efficient range scan. (Bug#44139) See also Bug#18360.

* InnoDB use of SELECT MAX(autoinc_column) could cause a crash when MySQL data dictionaries went out of sync. (Bug#44030)

* LOAD DATA INFILE statements were written to the binary log in such a way that parsing problems could occur when re-executing the statement from the log. (Bug#43746)

* Selecting from the process list in the embedded server caused a crash. (Bug#43733) See also Bug#47304.

* Attempts to enable large_pages with a shared memory segment larger than 4GB caused a server crash. (Bug#43606)

* A test for stack growth failed on some platforms, leading to server crashes. (Bug#42213)

* MySQL server used the wrong lock type (always TL_READ instead of TL_READ_NO_INSERT when appropriate) for tables used in subqueries of UPDATE statements. This led in some cases to replication failure because statements were written in the wrong order to the binary log. (Bug#42108)

* The mysql-stress-test.pl test script was missing from the noinstall packages on Windows. (Bug#41546)

* Privileges for SHOW CREATE VIEW were not being checked correctly. (Bug#35996)

* Different invocations of CHECKSUM TABLE could return different results for a table containing columns with spatial data types. (Bug#35570)

* myisamchk performed parameter value casting at startup that generated unnecessary warning messages. (Bug#33785)

* When building MySQL on Windows from source, the WITH_BERKELEY_STORAGE_ENGINE option would fail to configure BDB support correctly. (Bug#27693)

TortoiseSVN 1.6.6

TortoiseSVNTortoiseSVN is a really easy to use Revision control / version control / source control software for Windows. It is based on Subversion. TortoiseSVN provides a nice and easy user interface for Subversion.
It is developed under the GPL. Which means it is completely free, including the source code. But just in case you don't know the GPL too well: you can use TortoiseSVN to develop commercial applications or just use it in your company without any restrictions.

Since it's not an integration for a specific IDE like Visual Studio, Eclipse or others, you can use it with whatever development tools you like.

As a Subversion client, TortoiseSVN has all the features of Subversion itself, including:

* Most current CVS features.
* Directories, renames, and file meta-data are versioned.
* Commits are truly atomic.
* Branching and tagging are cheap (constant time) operations.
* Efficient handling of binary files.
