The long wait is over. After more than 18 months we are finally getting an update of FlightGear. The flight simulator for Linux received a major lift through technological advances in graphics and weather modeling.

Flight Simulator FlightGear Updated
Release 2.4.0 comes with a highly realistic weather simulation module that simulates the interaction of the atmosphere with the terrain. You can make weather from downloaded or custom made METAR weather reports and experience for example the interesting effects of weather phenomena occurring between different meteorological systems.

Panorama Tool Added to digiKam
Version 2.1 of the open source photo managment software digiKam is now available. The highlight of this update is a new panorama utility for combining and merging overlapping photos to create coherent larger images.

TrueCrypt 7.1
The software package TrueCrypt offers easy to use functions for encrypting hard disk partitions, USB drives, and other external storage devices. Once a filesystem is encrypted, TrueCrypt performs the decryption and encryption on-the-fly as files are accessed, without further user intervention.
