Involved Projects and Packages

Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. The
emphasis is on libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library.
One goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
implementations so that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
standardization. Some of the libraries have already been proposed for
inclusion in the C++ Standards Committee's upcoming C++ Standard
Library Technical Report.

Although Boost was begun by members of the C++ Standards Committee
Library Working Group, membership has expanded to include nearly two
thousand members of the C++ community at large.

This package is mainly needed for updating from a prior version, the
dynamic libraries are found in their respective package. For development
using Boost, you also need the boost-devel package. For documentation,
see the boost-doc package.

Bzip2 is a freely available, patent-free, high quality data compressor.
Bzip2 compresses files to within 10 to 15 percent of the capabilities
of the best techniques available. However, bzip2 has the added benefit
of being approximately two times faster at compression and six times
faster at decompression than those techniques. Bzip2 is not the
fastest compression utility, but it does strike a balance between speed
and compression capability.

This package contains development tools and libraries for use when
cross-compiling Windows software in Fedora.

Cairo is a vector graphics library with cross-device output support.
Currently supported output targets include the X Window System,
in-memory image buffers, and PostScript. Cairo is designed to produce
identical output on all output media while taking advantage of display
hardware acceleration when available.

Cairomm is the C++ API for the cairo graphics library. It offers all the power
of cairo with an interface familiar to C++ developers, including use of the
Standard Template Library where it makes sense.

cURL is a tool for getting files from HTTP, FTP, FILE, LDAP, LDAPS,
DICT, TELNET and TFTP servers, using any of the supported protocols.
cURL is designed to work without user interaction or any kind of
interactivity. cURL offers many useful capabilities, like proxy
support, user authentication, FTP upload, HTTP post, and file transfer
resume.

This is the MinGW cross-compiled Windows library.

Dia is designed to be much like the commercial program 'Visio.' It can
be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It has special
objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, SADT,
flowcharts, network diagrams, and simple circuits. It is possible to
add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, and using a
subset of SVG to draw the shape.

Dia can load and save diagrams to a custom XML format (gzipped by
default to save space), can export diagrams to EPS, PNG, CGM, or SVG
formats, and can print diagrams (including ones that span multiple
pages).

DjVu is a Web-centric format and software platform for distributing
documents and images. DjVuLibre is an open source (GPL) implementation
of DjVu, including viewers, browser plug-ins, decoders, simple
encoders, and utilities. DjVu can advantageously replace PDF, PS, TIFF,
JPEG, and GIF for distributing scanned documents, digital documents, or
high-resolution pictures. DjVu content downloads faster, displays and
renders faster, looks nicer on a screen, and consumes less client
resources than competing formats. DjVu images display instantly and can
be smoothly zoomed and panned with no lengthy rerendering. DjVu is used
by hundreds of academic, commercial, governmental, and noncommercial
Web sites around the world.

MinGW Windows port of an Enchanting Spell Checking Library.
A library that wraps around other spell checking back-ends.

ePDFView is a lightweight PDF document viewer using Poppler and GTK+ libraries.
The aim of ePDFView is to make a simple PDF document viewer, in the lines of
Evince but without using the Gnome libraries.

Evolution consists of modular components (at the moment: mailer,
calendar, and address book) that should make daily life easier. Because
of the modular design, it is possible to plug new components into
Evolution or embed the existing ones in other applications.

Evolution Data Server provides a central location for your address book
and calendar in the GNOME Desktop.

With the Connector for Microsoft Exchange installed, Evolution
functions as an Exchange client, enabling users to become full
participants in companywide group scheduling and other collaborative
tasks. Linux and Solaris users can access public folders, Global
Address Lists, e-mail, calendar, task lists, and group scheduling
information.

This is an evolution plugin which enables evolution to read rss feeds.

Evolution RSS Readers Features
==============================
* RDF,RSS and ATOM support
* Searching and filtering using Evolution support (a feed article is infact an email message in Evolution)
* HTML articles page rendering
* Offline reading of feed content
* Webkit and Gecko support for rendering articles (firefox-devel si required for Gecko support, and latest cvs from upstream apple's webkit see FAQ)

This is expat, the C library for parsing XML, written by James Clark. Expat
is a stream oriented XML parser. This means that you register handlers with
the parser prior to starting the parse. These handlers are called when the
parser discovers the associated structures in the document being parsed. A
start tag is an example of the kind of structures for which you may
register handlers.

FLAC is an open source lossless audio codec developed by Josh Coalson.

Fontconfig is a library designed to provide system-wide font configuration, customization and application access.

FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable, and portable while
capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images). It can be used in graphics libraries, display servers, font
conversion tools, text image generation tools, and many other products as well.

This library implements the algorithm as described in the "Unicode
Standard Annex #9, the Bidirectional Algorithm,
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr9/". FriBidi is exhaustively
tested against the Bidi Reference Code and, to the best of the
developers' knowledge, does notcontain any conformance bugs.

The API was inspired by the document "Bi-Di languages support - BiDi
API proposal" by Franck Portaneri, which he wrote as a proposal for
adding BiDi support to Mozilla.

The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be
used as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new.

MinGW Windows cross-compiler (GCC) for C

MinGW Windows port of GConf, the GNOME configuration database. It is used by the GNOME 2.x
Desktop platform.

This is the MinGW port of the GNU debugger (gdb).

gdk-pixbuf is an image loading library that can be extended by loadable
modules for new image formats. It is used by toolkits such as GTK+ or
Clutter.

GEGL provides infratructure to do demand based cached non destructive
image editing on larger than RAM buffers. Through babl it provides
support for a wide range of color models and pixel storage formats for
input and output.

GNU gettext library for internationalization of software. This package offers to programmers, translators, and even
users, a well integrated set of tools and documentation. GNU gettext is designed to minimize the impact of
internationalization on program sources, keeping this impact as small and hardly noticeable as possible.
