0release is a program to generate source and binary releases automatically. With minimal configuration, 0release will generate a source tarball release candidate, build it to create a binary archive, upload them to your Web server, check the uploads, and tag the release in GIT and update the version number. It can run unit-tests and custom actions, such as building documentation, etc. For Zero Install users, it can also upload a signed XML metadata file about the release, allowing these users to upgrade automatically. Releases are signed with your GPG key.
Archive is a fully drag-and-drop multi-format archiver. Drag a directory onto it to create an archive. Drag an archive onto it to extract to a directory. It can also compress and decompress streams (for example, you could drag a .gz file onto Archive and from Archive into your text editor).
The ROX System Monitor displays a large window containing two bar charts. One shows the Free/Used space on each mounted filesystem, and the other shows a list of processes with Shared/Unshared/Paged-out memory. A popup menu allows processes to be paused, resumed, or killed. The aim is to show the information you normally want from a system viewer without the clutter.
ROX-Session is a simple and easy-to-configure session manager. It allows you to change window managers without logging out (and copes with window managers crashing) and provides a graphical configuration box for your X settings (default font, cursor blinking, mouse behavior, etc.). The default session starts ROX-Filer managing the background and one panel, but it can be easily reconfigured for other purposes.
Zero Install is a decentralized cross-distribution software installation system. It allows software developers to publish programs directly from their own Web sites, while supporting features familiar from centralized distribution repositories such as shared libraries, automatic updates, and digital signatures. It is intended to complement, rather than replace, the operating system's package management. 0install packages never interfere with those provided by the distribution.
