Flashrom is a utility for reading, writing, erasing, and verifying flash ROM chips. It's often used to flash BIOS/coreboot/firmware/EFI images. It supports a wide range of DIP32, PLCC32, DIP8, SO8/SOIC8, and TSOP32/40/48 chips, which use various protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash, or SPI. The tool can be used to flash BIOS/firmware images, for example, be it proprietary BIOS images or coreboot (previously known as LinuxBIOS) images. It can also be used to read the current existing BIOS/firmware from a flash chip. In this new version of Flashrom:

The SRecord package is a collection of powerful tools for manipulating EPROM load files. It reads and writes numerous EPROM file formats (e.g. Motorola S-Record, Intel, Tektronix, Binary and so on). These file formats may be read and written. Also, C array definitions for output only. The SRecord package has filters, generators and tools include in the SRecord package. In this new version;

Glade (Gds, Lef And Def Editor) is a freeware IC layout editor capable of reading GDS2, OASIS, LEF and DEF. It's distributed under freeware license. This new version of Glade (4.1.8) fixes various bugs and there are some improvements;

Veusz is a scientific plotting package written in Python. It uses PyQt (Wiki) and Numarray. Veusz is designed to produce publication-ready Postscript output. Veusz provides a GUI, command line and scripting Python interface to its plotting facilities. The plots are built using an object-based system to provide a consistent interface allowing complex layouts to be designed. Datasets can be interactively modified or created from within the program. It also allows for manipulation and editing of datasets. In this new version of Veusz there are various improvements, bugfixes and new features, e.g.;
