The GNOME NetworkManager is a set of co-operative tools that make networking simple and straightforward. Whether wireless or wired, NetworkManager allows you to quickly move from one network to another: once a network has been configured and joined once, it can be detected and re-joined automatically at a later date. It was designed to auto-detect as much information as possible, seamlessly switches connections when necessary, and provides immediate feedback of the network state to users and applications. It utilizes D-Bus and HAL.

Pdlzip is a limited, public domain version of the lzip data compressor that uses the (de)compression code from Igor Pavlov's LZMA SDK. It is also able to decompress legacy lzma-alone (.lzma) files.
Release Notes: The options "-f, --force", "-F, --recompress", "-k, --keep", and "-o, --output", have been ported from clzip. Pdlzip now accepts more than one file in the command line. Decompression time has been reduced by 5%. The dependence of "--test" on the existence of "/dev/null" has been removed. The targets "install-as-lzip" and "install-bin" have been added to the Makefile.

patool is a portable command line archive file manager. Various archive types can be created, extracted, tested and listed by patool. The advantage of patool is its simplicity in handling archive files without having to remember a myriad of programs and options. The archive format is determined by the file(1) program and as a fallback by the archive file extension. patool supports 7z (.7z), ACE (.ace), ALZIP (.alz), AR (.a), ARC (.arc), ARJ (.arj), BZIP2 (.bz2), CAB (.cab), compress (.Z), CPIO (.cpio), DEB (.deb), GZIP (.gz), LRZIP (.lrz), LZH (.lha, .lzh), LZIP (.lz), LZMA (.lzma), LZOP (.lzo), RPM (.rpm), RAR (.rar), RZIP (.rz), TAR (.tar), XZ (.xz), ZIP (.zip, .jar), and ZOO (.zoo) formats. It relies on helper applications to handle those archive formats. The archive formats TAR (.tar), ZIP (.zip), BZIP2 (.bz2) and GZIP (.gz) are supported natively and do not require helper applications to be installed.
Release Notes: Support for the lzma module in Python >= 3.3 has been added, and repacking of archives with the same format has been optimized.

The MQ File Mover application is a software package designed to move files using WebSphere MQ (aka MQSeries). MQFM processes “Action” commands, which are controlled through an MQFM Workflow XML file. The user combines a series of Action commands to create the MQFM Workflow XML file.
Release Notes: This release fixes an issue with the Action's checkObject not setting the error text in the GlobalErrorText.
Universal File Mover (UFM) manages the transfer of files. The user combines a series of Action commands to create the UFM Workflow XML file. These Action commands define which actions are to be taken, the order of the actions, and how errors are to be handled. UFM processes the Action commands as per the UFM Workflow XML file. UFM currently contains 40 Action commands. These action commands fall into five categories: WebSphere MQ Actions, Network Actions, File Actions, Control Actions, and Other Actions. UFM can transfer files in one of five ways, using WebSphere MQ, FTP, SFTP, SCP, or HTTP.
Release Notes: This release fixes an issue with the Action's checkObject not setting the error text in the GlobalErrorText.
