HandBrake, a free, open source video transcoder for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X, has been updated to version 0.10.0, getting support for new encoders, like H.265 and VP8, along other interesting changes.

• for input sources, HandBrake supports most common multimedia files and any DVD or BluRay sources that do not contain any kind of copy protection;
• supported outputs:
• file containers: MP4 (M4V) and MKV;
• video encoders: H.264 (x264), H.265 (x265) MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 (libav), VP8 (libvpx) and Theora (libtheora);
• audio encoders: AAC,, MP3, Flac, AC3 and Vorbis;
• device presets;
• title / chapter selection;
• chapter markers;
• queue up multiple encoding jobs;
• subtitles support (VobSub, Closed Captions CEA-608, SSA, SRT);
• constant quality or average bitrate video encoding;
• video filters: deinterlacing, decomb, denoise, detelecine, deblock, grayscale, cropping and scaling;
• live video preview;
• comes with graphical and command line interfaces.

• Libavformat is now used for muxing instead of mp4v2 and libmkv;
• added FDK AAC encoder for Windows and Linux as a optional compile-time option;
• added support for H.265 through x265 1.4 (this encoder is still early in it's development, so is missing many H.265 features and optimizations);
• added VP8 encoder (using libvpx);
• added Lanczos scaler, which is currently HandBrake's default;
• added Bicubic (OpenCL) scaler - requires an AMD or Intel GPU supporting OpenCL 1.1 or later. On Linux, this is only available on the command line for now;
• denoise: hqdn3d filter now accepts individual settings for both chroma channels (Cr, Cb);
• denoise: new NlMeans filter which offers much higher quality denoising (though it is very slow);
• added Windows Phone 8 preset;
• updated libraries: x264 r2479-dd79a61, Libav v10.1 and libbluray 0.5.0;
• the audio and subtitle controls have been overhauled to support default behaviors which can be stored in presets. This simplifies the workflow for many batch encoding scenarios;
• Libfaac has been removed due to GPL compatibility issues, and replaced with the libav AAC encoder as the new default for Windows and Linux;
• removed mcdeint deinterlace and decomb modes. This relied on the snow encoder in libav which has been was removed by upstream;
• Linux only: automatic audio and subtitle track selection behaviors which can be stored per preset;
• Linux only: improvements to Auto-Naming feature;
• Linux only: Batch Add to queue by list selection;
• Linux only: requires GTK3.

• versioning now uses version vectors instead of plain integers which means Syncthing has proper conflict detection now (in case of a conflict, the file is renamed from file.ext to file.sync-conflict-YYYMMDD-HHMMSS.ext);
• the GUI has been changed from polling for updates to listening for periodic status updates from the server side, which should reduce the CPU usage;
• the garbage collection threshold has been changed from 25% to 100% (the Go default) which reduces CPU usage and increases sync speed for large files (but uses more RAM - to decrease RAM usage, but with a performance hit, you can run Syncthing like this: "GOGC=25 syncthing");
• The database commit process has changed slightly to better accommodate handling lots of small files and the result of this is a faster sync with lower CPU usage;
• scanning of many large files is now more efficient;
• user interface improvements, language can be selected from the Web UI, process uptime is now visible in the Web UI, etc.;

Wildfire Games has released the sixteenth alpha version of 0 A.D., an open source, historical real-time strategy game which features excellent graphics and sound. The new alpha brings an improved AI, a new GUI along with big changes under the hood and more.

• New GUI, new font: The new GUI style seen in the multiplayer lobby in Alpha 15 is now used nearly everywhere. The GUI font has also been changed to Biolinum, a free font created by the Libertine Open Fonts Project;
• New AI - Petra: Petra features more aggressive expansion and combat and builds defence towers and fortresses as a human would. Petra manages resources better in late game than the previous AI, Aegis, and is more robust to external conditions. It will also trade over land with allied markets, if there are any;
• A Multiplayer "Ready" button was added: In a multiplayer game, all users must confirm game settings before host can start game. When the host changes a setting, players are set to “not ready” again. This is to avoid sneaky behaviour amongst some hosts, who would change the settings right before starting;
• Formation Updates: The Testudo formation (for Roman melee infantry) and the Syntagma formation (for Macedonian, Ptolemaic and Seleucid pikemen) have received new animations, and their movement has improved further over the previous version. The formations are also more moddable, which sets the stage for further developments in formations;
• Town Bell: Click on the new "town bell" button to sound an alarm and make your citizens garrison in the nearest structure until the enemy is gone. Once you sound the bell again, your units will ungarrison and go back to work;
• New Global Resource Trading Settings: You now set the chance a trader will trade a certain resource, rather than selecting it per trader. This gives you a better overview of your trade, and makes it easier to manage;
• The "Wonder" Victory Condition was added: If you set "Wonder" as victory condition, a counter counting down 5 minutes appears after you build a wonder. If the enemy can’t destroy the wonder in this time, you win;
• New "Explored Map" game setting, in which the entire map is covered with the Fog of War. This is an option that gives something between the "revealed map", where there are no secrets, and the default "dark map";
• New art assets: Animated flying hawks, Ptolemaic ships, Eurasian Wolf, Nile Crocodile, Ptolemaic buildings: Military settlement, Docks, Market, and quite a few new animations, e.g. a new seeding animation for farming units;
• New music track: "Water’s Edge";
• A new version of the JavaScript engine "SpiderMonkey" was implemented;
• 0 A.D. is now available by default in 12 different languages: Catalan, Czech, Dutch, English (United Kingdom), French, Galician, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Scottish Gaelic, and Spanish (Spain). Japanese is also available but its available as a separate downloadable mod due to large font files.

A playlist in Atraci

• play more than 60 million tracks / videos
• top tracks, featured artist sections
• supports playlists with shuffle and repeat options
• track search autocomplete
• 2 views which support sorting by track or artist
• history of recently played tracks

• change wallpapers automatically / manually (optionally, this can be done via keyboard shortcuts);
• multi-monitor support - for instance, it can span a single wallpaper over multiple monitors;
• synchronize wallpaper between workstations;
• configurable wallpaper change interval / time of day;
• supports special effects for the wallpapers (blur, sharpen, desaturate, glow and so on);
• several resizing methods and background filling;
• available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X;
• should work with most Linux desktop environments: KDE 3/4, GNOME / GNOME 3 (includes Unity), Xfce, LXDE, Enlightenment, Openbox, Fluxbox, IceWM, Blackbox, WindowMaker and FVWM (it doesn't support Cinnamon and MATE though).

• added option to start SyncWall automatically on Linux;
• direct synchronization of wallpapers across network (sharing the same file is not used any more);
• display name of current wallpaper in window header;
• change layout for better handling on small screens (laptops);
• global keyboard shortcuts to change wallpaper, open main interface or change image offset (you enable these in the SyncWall preferences);
• images can now be rated - images with higher rating are displayed more often;
• addition of a simple database backend for image data to speed up display;
• addition of image alignment defined graphically by user (in order to display best part of images);
• addition of an horizontal alignment parameter;
• addition of several resampling methods;
• updated app icons;
• many bug fixes (for instance, the invisible tooltips bug should be fixed, among many others).

Please note that SyncWall tries to automatically detect the desktop environment, but this can fail sometimes. If the wallpaper doesn't change, manually select the desktop environment in the SyncWall Preferences, on the Startup tab. For Unity, select GNOME 3 as the DE.

To span a single wallpaper across multiple monitors, in SyncWall select Preferences > Display Parameters and on the "Basic" tab, check the "Multi monitor support" box, then in the "Multi monitor" display drop-down, select "Extend image (one file for all monitors)":
