Qfsm is a graphical tool for designing finite state machine; it is written in C++ using the Qt library. Finite state machines are models to describe complex objects or systems in terms of the states they may be in. This release of Qfsm includes some new features, bug fixes and improvements:

• Implemented initial version of SCXML export (for 'free text' machines);
• Implemented export of vvvv Automata code (for 'free text' machines);
• Implemented VHDL test bench export;
• Overhauled documentation;
• Russian translation;
• Improvments in VHDL export;
• Bug fixes.

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. The latest version of Glade (4.1.7) has several fixes to the non-OpenGL rendering engine. Also some bugs introduced in 4.1.6;

ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform application designed to visualize data sets of size varying from small to very large, structured and unstructured, time varying and static. The goals of the ParaView project include developing an open-source, multi-platform visualization application that support distributed computational models to process large data sets. It has an open, flexible, and intuitive user interface. Furthermore, ParaView is built on an extensible architecture based on open standards. ParaView runs on distributed and shared memory parallel as well as single processor systems. The binaries and sources are available for download from the ParaView website. This release of Paraview includes several new features along with plenty of bug fixes addressing a multitude of usability and stability issues including those affecting parallel volume rendering and has many GUI usability improvements including, but definitely not limited to:

BSIMSOI is an international standard model for SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) circuit design. This model is formulated on top of the BSIM3 framework. It shares the same basic equations with the bulk model so that the physical nature and smoothness of BSIM3v3 are retained. Most parameters related to general MOSFET operation (non-SOI specific) are directly imported from BSIM 3v3 to ensure parameter compatibility. BSIMSOI was selected by EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance) Compact Model Council (CMC) as the standard SOI MOSFET model in December 2001. BSIMSOIv4.3 source code was extensively revised, improved and bug fixed through close interactions among the members (e.g. companies ADI, Agilent, Ansoft, Cadence, IBM, SYNOPSYS and UC Berkeley) of a forum devoted to resolve the key issues in BSIMSOIv4.2 and 33 bugs has been fixed, e.g.:

side4linux is a simple IDE intended for source code programming in C, G-code, and AVR/ARM Assembler, with an emphasis on developing manufacturing and embedded applications. It is being developed to include simulators, PCB software, compilers, etc. It provides a project based source code editing and build environment for the above languages based around GNU/Linux and the ATMEL AVR microprocessor. The intention is to integrate the full development of a CAD (Computer Aided Design)/CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture)/CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacture) system over time for the areas of machine control and robotics. This release of side4linux adds the GTKBUILDER 3d project type "GTKCGL3" so that people can use "OpenGL" in their 3d 'C' Projects:

Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven interactive data and function plotting utility. It was originally intended as to allow scientists and students to visualize mathematical functions and data. It does this job pretty well, but has grown to support many non-interactive uses, including web scripting and integration as a plotting engine for third-party applications like Octave. Gnuplot has been supported and under development since 1986 and this new version adds new features, changes and fixes. Particularly noteworthy features include:
