Blam is an RSS reader for the GNOME desktop.
Blam features a simple to use interface that lets you focus on the news items. It's also works especially well for reading planet feeds where the same items might be aggregated across several planets.
This release is mainly a bug fix and cleanup release. The number one bug fix is that it should now be much harder to corrupt the collections database which resulted in the default collections file being read and stored some times.
Another mayor change is that HTML will now be stripped from the titles in feeds which resulted in a lot of weird looking titles.

This is a small Gnome applet that is like Google's Deskbar, but it 1) runs on Linux, and 2) can use search engines other than Google.
WHAT'S NEW:
Most notably, the applet now works with GNOME 2.10 (and its new panel/applet focus behavior).
This means, however, that dependency versions have been bumped. In particular, unstable (version 2.11.2) gnome-python-extras is required, for previously un-wrapped API.

Version 0.5.14 of SLgtk is now available at
http://space.mit.edu/CXC/software/slang/modules/slgtk
The SLgtk package wraps the GIMP toolkit widget set (Gtk) for use in S-Lang, and provides a simple and modular way of adding graphical interfaces to applications without recoding them from scratch as GUIs. SLgtk bundles scores of guilets, ranging in function from simple buttons and screen drawing all the way to through plotting and imaging of FITS files.
SLgtk also includes VWhere, an iterative, visual extension to the powerful S-Lang 'where' filtering command as described at
http://arxiv.org/pdf/astro-ph/0412003
This release includes almost 20 enhancements, highlights of which are given below. In addition to raw source code, binary distributions are provided for Solaris, Linux, and Mac OS/X, compiled against either S-Lang1 or S-Lang2.
