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.;

This project delivers Linux support (USB driver and Tools) for a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) cards of the Signal Ranger series by SOFT dBSOFT dB connected to a GNU/Linux host via USB. A monthly cvs-snapshot January 2010 (.deb package format and CVS source) of SRanger has been released. In this new release of SRanger:

GXSM which is a powerful interface for various kinds of scanning probe microscopy and a multi-channel image and vector-probe data acquisition and visualisation system designed for SPM techniques (STM,AFM..), but also SPA-LEED. The plug-in interface allows easy customization for extra math and specific hardware and instrument support. A monthly cvs-snapshot January 2010 (.deb package format and CVS source) of GXSM has been released. In this release;

SPICE OPUS is a circuit simulator with optimisation utilities. It is a recompilation of the original Berkeley's SPICE for GNU/Linux operating system too. Georgia Tech Research Institute's XSPICE mixed-mode simulator was added to the Berkeley code. The simulator includes an interactive interpreted programming language called Nutmeg, which allows interactive SPICE sessions (in a similar way to ngnutmeg for NGSpice). In this new version of SPICE OPUS;

• Bug fixed in BSIM3SOI version 1.3 (level = 55) MOSFET model.

AVR32 is a fairly new 32bit microcontroller core developed by Atmel. Design goals were high integration, low power consumption and a modern 32bit instruction set. Fortunately, Atmel decided to implement an AVR32 backend for the GCC compiler collection and to base the AVR32Studio IDE on Eclipse. AVR32 Studio is a free Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for AVR32 that enables you to write, build, deploy and debug your C/C++ and assembler code so that high-quality development software is for free for Linux. A new version of AVR32 Studio has been released. This version includes a large number of bug fixes, enhancements and other improvements has been made available, e.g.:
