GTKWave is a fully featured GTK+ based wave viewer for Unix and GNU/Linux which reads LXT, LXT2, VZT, and GHW files as well as standard Verilog VCD/EVCD files and allows their viewing. The new release fixes some problems/bugs and adds new functions, i.e.;

• Changed accelerator for Quit to conform to Gnome standard menus guidelines;
• Update local libz and libbz2 to current versions;
• Moved version string out to version.h to keep from having;
• Fix crash that can occur in RemoveTrace;
• Header file cleanups;
• Fixed actual result of crash in RemoveTrace: defensive re-linking in PasteBuffer didn't always relink the back pointers properly.

Fritzing is an open-source initiative that allows you to virtually design electronic circuits on a breadboard (although you could design circuits that aren't on a breadboard). This could save a lot of hours working on a breadboard if you have this amazing software at hand. In this new version of Fritzing a high-level summary of changes are:

• Double-sided boards;
• Autosave (to restore your files in case Fritzing crashes);
• Mounting holes and vias;
• Import for KiCad footprints;
• Sparkfun footprints;
• Design rule check (for testing if your board has any production problems);
• Small improvements, e.g.: infoview is a little more informative and maybe a little faster, jumper items get a silkscreen layer, meta-key replaces alt-key in drag-functions under GNU/Linux;
• Bug fixes, including gold traces in schematic view, wires to nowhere in breadboard and schematic views
• New parts: Arduino Mini, Arduino Fio, PICAXE,...

Piklab is an integrated development environment (IDE) for applications based on Microchip PIC and dsPIC microcontrollers. It integrates with several compiler and assembler toolchains (like gputils, sdcc, c18) and with the GPSim simulator. It supports the most common programmers (serial, parallel, ICD2, Pickit2, PicStart+), the ICD2 debugger, and several bootloaders (Tiny, Pickit2, and Picdem). In this new version of Piklab:

LCD-Linux is a Linux software abstraction layer to drive LCD alphanumeric displays. It features complete VT102 console emulation and aims to be as general and flexible as possible.

Future Technology Devices International Ltd (aka FTDI) specialists in converting legacy peripherals to Universal Serial Bus (USB); some chips, like FT8U232AM, FT8U245AM and FT8U100AX, are fully supported by kernel Linux, but some of them are supported by the library libftdi from Intra2net. A new version of this library has been released with these main changes:
