AbiWord is a free word processing program similar to Microsoft® Word. It is suitable for typing papers, letters, reports, memos, and so forth.
AbiWord is able to read and write all industry standard document types, such as OpenOffice.org documents, Microsoft Word documents, WordPerfect documents, Rich Text Format documents, HTML web pages and many more.
Features:
* Use tables, bullets, lists, images, footnotes, endnotes and styles to enhance the way your document looks.
* AbiWord is available in most common and many not-so-common languages.
* Built-in spelling checker. Dictionaries exist for over 30 languages.
* Supports right-to-left, left-to-right, and mixed-mode text.
* Mail Merge capabilities.
* A variety of plugins can be used to extend AbiWord´s functionality, ranging from Document Importers to a Thesaurus, Image Importers and a Text Summarizer.
Plugins for AbiWord are available here.
What’s New in version 2.6.0:
* Greatly-improved support for languages like Thai and Arabic using a new Pango based renderer (Unix platforms)
* We’ve included a new GNOME Office plugin that allows embedding Gnumeric charts into your documents (Unix platforms)
* Ability to open files on remote shares, ie. samba, ftp or ssh shares (Unix platforms)
* A new experimental collaboration plugin, allowing users to collaboratively work on the same document in real-time.
* A massive amount of work on all of our popular import and export filters, most notably the OpenDocument filter
* The addition of a new experimental Office Open XML import filter
* Support for native Windows Vista menus
* Various drag & drop and clipboard handling improvements
* Allow dragging and dropping images in and out of AbiWord (Unix platforms)
* Fast image previews in the Image dialog, even for huge images (Unix platforms)
* Various toolbar improvements, most notably the improvements to make them work better on small screens (Unix platforms)
* Lots of updates to our translations
* Lots of small fixes in our GTK+ frontend, such as fixing those pesky tooltips that just wouldn’t go away (Unix platforms)
* Automatic font substitution using fontconfig when a specific font is not available (Unix platforms)
* Improved support for running AbiWord in non-UI mode (sometimes also referred to as “server” mode, as offered by the AbiCommand plugin); most notably AbiWord no longer requires an X server on Unix systems in non-UI mode.
* Improved command line handling, allowing input from standard input, and output to be directed to standard output.
* Improved printing from the command line, deprecating our previously used custom postscript driver
* Improved modularisations for resource constrained devices, such as optional printing and spelling support
* For application developers we’ve made available an experimental AbiWord GTK+ widget; accompanying Python bindings will follow soon.
* For distributors we’ve improved the build system to be more standards conformant (for example, “make dist” and “make distcheck” now work)

Process Lasso improves system performance, responsivenss, and stability in high load situations. It watches for processes consuming too much of the CPU and automatically restrains them to improve system responsiveness
It can also automatically terminate undesired processes, apply default priorities to an application each time it is run, or log all processes launched. It is not a task manager replacement, but does have task manager like capabilties only as a compliment to its core functions.
What’s New in version 2.72.1:
* Addition.Core: Added ‘forced mode’, which will force default priorities and affinities to remain in place, despite any manual changes by the user or application.
* Addition.Core: Added sound playback ability on process restraint/restore. You can change the actual played back files in the INI file, but I will add an ability to change the sound files in the GUI.
* Change.Core: Changed process restraint algorithm to better handle foreground processes without excluding them.
* Change.Core: Renamed INI entry ‘PerProcessorUsageForRestore’ to ‘PerProcessUsageForRestore’. No functional change.
* Change.Core/GUI: Fixed some less than optimal compiler and linker optimizations.
* Addition.GUI: Added a neat little highlight to the graph that indicates when process restraint’s occurred.
* Addition.GUI: Added ‘forced mode’ menu toggle.
* Addition.GUI: Added option to exclude system services from process restraint.
* Addition.GUI: Added two options for playback of wav files when a process is restrained and/or when it is restored.
* Addition.GUI: Added all process restraint options to the menu, though they’re also still in the process restraint (OOC) config dialog, which has nice descriptive tooltips.
* Addition.GUI: Added option to aggressively trim the working set of the GUI itself. Useful for people who don’t use the GUI much.
* Change.GUI: memory/code optimization - decreased history depth since it was unnecessarily deep, though resource impact should have been negligible.
* Change.GUI: CPU utilization and responsiveness graph lines are now the same size. Was 1.4:2.0, respectively.
* Change.GUI: Some working-set size adjustments to reduce RAM use w/o increasing page faults too much.
* Change.GUI: Moved process restraint exclusions to process restraint menu where it belongs.
* Change.GUI: Added ‘aggressively trim working set’ option to force the GUI to free more of its RAM. This is useful if you seldom use the GUI. Otherwise, you should leave it turned off.
* Change.GUI: Killed the buy now button for now, which was getting placed in the wrong spot anyway.
* Change.GUI: Added back ‘free build’ text output over the graph.
* Change.GUI: Cosmetic improvements to some of the dialogs.
* Change.GUI: Removed edit INI manually from OOC restraint config dialog. Its still in the advanced options menu.
* Fix.GUI: Added checks to make sure the saved window position will be visible on the screen. If not, we default.
* Fix.GUI: Fixed /config switch not working.
* Fix.GUI: Fixed flicker in average CPU column (it was getting repopulated when not necessary).
* Fix.TestLasso: Generally fixed.
* Change.Installer: Upgraded to NSIS 2.35.
* Change.Installer: Made ’show OOC defaults’ section enabled by default again so OOC config dialog will show at install.
* Fix.Installer: Misc. tweaks.

Avidemux v2.4 Final for Win32 (SVN-r3945)
Posted: 31 Mar 2008 09:57 AM CDT
Imagine an application which does everything VirtualDub can do, but runs on various platforms, supports a lot of containers, comes with all Codecs you need built-in and doesn´t use the nasty VfW interface. That applications is Avidemux! And now the “official” version: Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks
It´s graphical user interface looks pretty similar to VirtualDub and most features known from VirtualDub are available too. Avidemux natively supports a great number of file types, such as AVI, MPEG, VOB, TS, MP4, ASF, OGM, MKV and FLV. At the same time Avidemux natively supports a wide range of Video/Audio formats, including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP, H.264/AVC, DV, HuffYUV, MP3, AAC, AC-3 and Vorbis. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting capabilities. Video-DVD or (S)VCD compliant streams can be created with easy-to-use “Auto” wizards. Multi-threading is supported!
What encoders are supported by Avidemux?
Avidemux comes with several video encoders built-in: Xvid (MPEG-4 ASP), x264 (H.264 aka AVC), libavcodec (MPEG-4 ASP, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, FLV, HuffYUV, FFV1, MJPEG, H.263, DV) and mpeg2enc (MPEG-1, MPEG-2). Also it includes various audio encoders: LAME (MP3), FAAC (LC-AAC), Aften (AC3), Ogg Vorbis and TwoLAME (MP2). Please note that Avidemux does not support the platform-specific and outdated ´Video for Windows´ (VfW) interface and it never will! This means there is absolutely no way to use DivX (or any other VfW-based Codecs) with Avidemux! But don´t worry: Avidemux will open all files, that were encoded with DivX, just fine. Avidemux simply uses it´s own (internal) MPEG-4 decoder instead of the proprietary DivX decoder. Furthermore the files encoded with Avidemux and Xvid will play 100% fine on a “DivX certified” player, as long as you use the appropriate encoder settings…
What video filters are supported by Avidemux?
Avidemux comes with a wide range of video filters built-in. Most of those filters were ported from MPlayer, VirtaulDub or Avisynth. There are filters for Cropping, Resizing (Bilinear, Bicubic and Lanczos) and Expanding. For processing of interlaced video, there are various Deinterlacing and IVTC filters (e.g. Yadif, TDeint, Kernel Deinterlacer, Smart Deinterlace, mcDeinterlace, DGBob and Decomb Telecide). Furthermore there are filters for Denoising (FluxSmooth, denoise3d/hqdn3d, Stabilize, Temporal Cleaner, etc.), Sharpening (MSharpen, asharp, etc.), Color Correction and many more. Last but not least there is a new plugin system for ´external´ video filters now. So you can add additional filters to Avidemux without re-compiling!

FastResolver is a small utility that resolves multiple host names into IP addresses and vice versa. You can simply type the list of IP addresses or host name that you want to resolve, or alternatively, you can specify IP addresses range that you want to scan.
For local network, FastResolver also allows you to get the MAC address of all IP addresses that you scan. FastResolver is a multithreaded application, so it can resolve dozens of addresses within a few seconds.
Be aware that resolving IP address to host name doesn´t work well under Windows 98/ME.
What’s New in version 1.15:
* Added support for starting the IP addresses scanning from command-line
* Added support for saving into comma-delimited (.csv) file.
* Fixed bug in radio buttons of mode selection
