LogMeIn enables you to connect to your Mac computers from anywhere in the world; from any other Internet-enabled Mac, Windows PC, or hand-held device. The remote control feature in LogMeIn Free means you can view and control your Mac desktop and applications just as if you were sitting at the computer. Just like LogMeIn Free for the PC, Mac users can add an unlimited number of their computers for free.

Version 4.0.1940:

New Features:

• The LogMeIn host software now supports Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
• The Remote Control plugin now supports Safari 5.1.
• You can install the LogMeIn host software with a specific deploy ID from the command line with the following command:sudo installer -pkg LogMeIn Installer.pkg -target /

Enhancements:

• Remote control sessions log more detailed debug information. To enable debug-level logging, open the host user interface and go to Options > Preferences > Advanced > Event Logs.
• LogMeIn Pro² has been renamed to LogMeIn Pro.
• xcRemote control sessions in High and Compressed quality modes look smoother.
• Default session timeout has been modified from 20 to 60 minutes. To change this setting, open the host user interface and go to Options > Preferences > Advanced > Network.
• Files downloaded during automatic update are now signed with a new certificate that has 4096 bit encryption with SHA256 file verification.

Fixes:

• Interactive remote control permissions did not work properly on Mac hosts. To set these permissions, open the host user interface and go to Options > Preferences > General> Host side user's consent. For information about the available permissions, see https://secure.logmein.com/welcome/webhelp/pro/LogMeIn/t_host_preferences_consent_userpresent.html
• In some cases, the host user interface closed after defining proxy settings.
• The LogMeIn icons have changed on the Dock.
• Logging behaved unexpectedly if you switched off the LogMeIn host from the Dock. In this case, either the log file contained incorrect errors or logging stopped.
• On the host user interface, the DNS name of the computer was displayed instead of the computer name. You can set your computer name in Apple menu > System Preferences > Sharing.
• It was not possible to read user-defined proxy settings in Firefox 5, therefore, remote control did not start. You can define Firefox proxy settings in Tools > Options > Advanced > Network tab > Connection.
• Localization of the Dashboard and the host user interface has been improved.
• The following issues occurred if you used special characters in computer names:
  • It was possible to type special characters, such as CRLF or Tab in to the host name field during host installation. This made it impossible to log in to the host.
  • Text between < and > characters in the computer name was not displayed in Compact mode.
• Performance viewer on the Dashboard was incorrectly scaled and the top of the diagram was cut if CPU usage went above 30%.
• The host user interface behaved unexpectedly if it was used to switch off LogMeIn.
• The following issues occurred when you installed the LogMeIn host software:
  • The installer displayed an undefined error if the computer name contained more than 80 characters.
  • The installer accepted an empty computer name.
• The host installer did not display any notification if silent installation failed. This only occurred if you used an installer package that exceeded its deployment limit.
• In some cases, remote control stopped after attaching and detaching remote printers.
• Setting network speed to Fast during remote control had no effect on screen refresh rate.

Can you really trust content stored by online service providers? Since BarracudaDrive is exclusively hosted by you, it becomes your personal cloud, allowing you to store and access your files and appliances anytime from anywhere but without the vulnerability inherent in 3rd party web portals. Why rent when you can buy?

No software needs to be installed on the client computer that you use when connecting to your home server since BarracudaDrive is based on open standards. This means that you can access your BarracudaDrive server from any device, such as your Internet enabled phone.

The following video shows how to install BarracudaDrive on a Macintosh computer. The video also shows how to use BarracudaDrive from a Macintosh computer.

• The licenses of libVLC and libVLCcore have changed from GPLv2+ to LGPLv2.1+
• Start/end titles/chapters are now specified with # rather than @ to fix conflicts with some URLs and file names. For instance, this plays a DVD from the 2nd chapter of the 1st title up to the 4th chapter of the 3rd title: vlc dvd://#1:2-3:4
• The 40+ --*-caching options were simplified and dumbed down to 4 options:
  • --file-caching specifies caching for local files,
  • --network-caching specifies caching for network resources,
  • --live-caching specifies caching for capture devices and
  • --disc-caching specifies caching for local optical media.
  • All values are expressed in milliseconds as in previous versions.
• HTTP server IP address, port, and TLS configuration is now centralized:
  • The --http-host option sets the address, e.g. "--http-host=[2001:db8::1]". By default, both :: and 0.0.0.0 are used.
  • The --http-port and --https-port options set the port numbers. By default, 8080 is used for HTTP, and 8443 for HTTPS.
  • The TLS credentials are configured with --http-cert (public certificate), --http-key (private key), --http-ca (optional CA) and --http-crl (optional CRL).
• RTSP server IP address and port are updated similarly. Use --rtsp-host and --rtsp-port respectively.
• The --miface-addr option does not exist anymore. To select the multicast output interface, use --miface instead, e.g. --miface=eth0.
• The Mac OS version will require Quartz Extreme compatible machines.

Important changes for packagers:

• The default builds now assume that the operating system uses UTF-8 for its file systems and files content (except the Windows port). If this is not acceptable, pass --enable-non-utf8 to the configure script. Non-UTF-8 file systems support will be removed in future versions.
• The VLC plugins path can be overridden with the VLC_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable. The --plugin-path command line option was removed.
• The default tarballs are now compressed with XZ/LZMA: .tar.xz
• OSS support is not compiled on Linux by default, pass --enable-oss to the configure script if you use OSSv4 or really want to use OSS emulation.
• The webplugins has moved to git://git.videolan.org/npapi-vlc.git

MKVtoolnix 5.3.0_2012-02-10-ec37 - Create, alter and inspect Matroska (mkv) files.. (Free)

MKVtoolnix 5.3.0_2012-02-10-ec37 - Create, alter and inspect Matroska (mkv) files.. (Free): "

MKVtoolnix is a set of tools to create, alter, and inspect Matroska files under Mac OS X, Linux and other Unices, and Windows. They do for Matroska what the OGMtools do for the OGM format and then some.

Since May 1st 2003, the Matroska libraries themselves and my Matroska tools are officially released as a first public beta version. Although all of them are still under heavy development, I urge you to download the software, test it and report any errors you encounter to me. I'm always grateful for good bug reports because I miss so many mistakes and you guys normally find them. Your feedback is important to me :)

Version 5.3.0_2012-02-10-ec37:

• new feature: mkvmerge will parse and apply the audio encoder delay in MP4 files that contain said information in the format that iTunes writes it. Fix for bug 715.
• new feature: Implemented support for treating several input files as if they they had been concatenated binarily into a single big input file. Snytax is "mkvmerge -o out.mkv ( in1.ts in2.ts in3.ts )". This feature has already been present since version 5.1.0 but never been mentioned in the ChangeLog. Support for this feature in mmg is still missing.
• bug fix: Blocks with "BlockAdditions" will no longer be muxed as "SimpleBlock" elements discarding the additions but instead as "BlockGroup" elements. This applies to e.g. WAVPACK4 tracks with correction files as the correction data is stored in "BlockAdditions". Fix for bug 713.
• bug fix: Fixed some more issues with (E)AC3 being misdtected as AVC elementary streams.
• bug fix: Fixed integer underflows in the read caching code resulting in invalid memory access. Happened in broken or incomplete files only. Fix for bug 709.
• mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending AVI, Matroska or MPEG program stream files with DTS audio tracks will not result in a warning that the appended DTS tracks might not be compatible. Fix for bug705.
• bug fix: Fixed writing into paths on which a drive is mounted on Windows. Fix for bug 701.
• enhancement: Identification output for Matroska files: Added the track number header field as "number" to the verbose identification mode.
• enhancement: Identification output for Matroska files: Added a field "content_encoding_algorithms" that contains a comma-separated list of encoding algorithm IDs used for that track. For example, "content_encoding_algorithms:3" would indicate that header removal compression is used.
