FogBUGZ 3.0 is a Web-based software project management system. Created to be a database of cases, which can be feature requests, traditional bug reports or customer e-mails, every case is assigned to one person who must resolve it or forward it to someone else. Cases can be prioritized, documented, edited, estimated, searched and more. Cases can be entered by e-mail or through the Web interface; there are no required fields, and anyone can edit a bug report. Screenshots, sample files and almost any type of document can be attached to a case in FogBUGZ, and Unicode is supported so bugs can be entered in any language. In addition, FogBUGZ can be integrated with source code managers, such as VSS, CVS, Vault and Perforce, and bidirectional links between check-ins and bugs may be maintained. FogBUGZ 3.0 for UNIX can run on Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake, Debian and FreeBSD.

Roku, maker of the HD1000 high-definition digital media player, recently released a software developer's kit (SDK) for the creation of media applications for high-definition television. The Roku SDK allows developers to create applications for the Roku HD1000 in the C and C++ languages. Developers can use the SDK to access television-centric user-interface elements, media streaming, network and memory card access and device control. In addition, custom installers can control the Roku HD1000 without the SDK by using simple ASCII control commands. The HD1000 is completely controllable from the serial port, Ethernet port or scripts running on the device. The SDK is available for download at www.rokulabs.com/developers.
