Java support is a work in progress and is disabled by default (can be enabled in the Options dialog). Formatting of HTML and XML files can now be done thanks to JTidy. ActionScript syntax highlighting was added, and Groovy highlighting saw some improvements. There were also tons of smaller improvements for an overall better experience.
Inhouse-Web is Web-based time recording and tracking software built for companies that want to track their projects' worktime to get accurate time billing for their customers. In contrast to other time trackers, Inhouse-Web will not offer its own task system. It directly synchronizes with other issue tracking systems like Trac so that each employee can connect their worktime with already existing tickets for their projects. But this application is quite a bit more than a simple time tracking system. You can also manage your company's stock of software and hardware, books, and other materials.
Release Notes: This is a new development state release. It contains various bugfixes, but also some new features and layout changes.
mxGraph is a JavaScript library that uses built-in browser capabilities to provide an interactive drawing and diagramming solution. Target applications are Web based applications that require workflow/BPM, diagram, network, or general graph editing to be available in-place on a Web page.

P4A_I18N now correctly handles 3 character languages (like "fil"). Translations were updated. A Filipino translation was added.
Foswiki is wiki software, supporting the editing of Web pages in an ordinary Web browser by end users. What makes Foswiki special is that it supports the embedding of active and passive macros that enhance the page content (e.g. with global or dynamic information) and allow end-users to build applications that store and process data in a structured manner.
Release Notes: Foswiki 1.0.10 was built as a patch release with more than 410 bugfixes relative to 1.0.0. It is assumed to be the last 1.0.X release. If you already run 1.0.9 and you do not have any severe issues with it, you are recommended to stay with 1.0.9 and wait for 1.1.0.
Shell Script Loader is a framework (in a helper script) that can be used by shell-script-based applications for easy including or loading of co-shell-scripts or subscripts. With this utility, scripters may now be able to apply multi-file or module-oriented scripting or programming in shells just like the way they are always done in known languages like Perl, PHP, and Ruby. The provided functions are load(), include(), and call() with the extended versions loadx(), includex(), and callx(). The extended versions can accept glob patterns and regular expressions. Shell Script Loader supports many shells including the very old ones like bash, zsh, ksh, pdksh, sh, ash, dsh, and all shells based on the original sh. Scripts made with Shell Script Loader may also be compiled to form a single script. A generic compiler written in awk is already available.
Release Notes: The final and true features of Shell Script Loader have finally been decided, and ShellScript Loader Lite (RS0L) and ShellScript Loader Simpler (RS0S) are now Shell Script Loader (RS0) and Shell Script Loader Extended (RS0X) with the last added function loader_flag(). The old packages are still available, but are now considered deprecated. Completion of the project will now be based on the two versions.
CronosEnbourg is a monitoring daemon for JMX, designed to target J2EE application servers like jBoss or WebLogic.

Comparator Tools is a PHP implementation of Java's Comparable interface. It allows objects to be sorted and provides other useful functions for comparison.
Release Notes: Initial release.
NScripts is a set of Nautilus scripts for several purposes, like changing the background and the splash image, copying and moving files (similar to Konqueror's context menu actions), creating and checking MD5 sums, creating a diff of two selected files, sending shortcuts to any place, creating menu entries from .desktop files, opening all selected files in GEdit, opening a terminal with the current directory as the working directory, and shredding files.
Release Notes: Several small bugs were fixed in all scripts. SetAsWallpaper can now set the wallpaper as "spanned". Scripts no longer save a temporary list of the selected files, which may increase speed on older machines. Some bits of unused code were removed. InstallTheme now supports IceWM and FluxBox.
rep-gtk is a language-binding between GTK+/GDK and librep. Basic GLib and ATK bindings are included, too. The bindings for outdated, deprecated libraries (libgnome, libgnomeui, libgnomecanvas, and libglade) have been dropped. In favor of libglade, GTKBuilder is supported.
Release Notes: Some minor bugs have been fixed and GtkListStore and GtkTreeView widgets have been added from the GTK+ 2.12 API, along with a handful of functions.
Librep is a shared library implementing a Lisp dialect that is lightweight, reasonably fast, and highly extensible. It contains an interpreter, byte-code compiler, and virtual machine. Applications may use the interpreter as an extension language, or it may be used for standalone scripts. Rep was originally inspired by Emacs Lisp. However one of the main deficiencies of elisp--the reliance on dynamic scope--has been removed. Also, rep only has a single namespace for symbols.
Release Notes: The file-uid-p and file-gid-p functions were renamed to file-uid and file-gid. The RPM spec file was improved. Documentation was added regarding the string-split, signal, and require functions. Process execution failures now produce better error messages.
