The origins of this traditional Chinese game go back as far as the fifth century. On the board, two teams oppose each other, each having eight pieces: the elephant, the lion, the panther, the dog, the wolf, the cat and the rat. The objective is to go onto.
According to its rank, a piece can capture an opponent’s piece. The elephant, the most powerful, can eat all other pieces. Only the rat, which is the smallest creature, represents any danger to it!

Key Features:
- Simple rules but strong strategic possibilities;
- Three difficulty levels, two kinds of praws and a rotating 3D board;
- Multiplayer game on the same PC or a local network.

Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, modifying web page content, managing cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.
What’s New in version 3.0.11:
- On most platforms, outgoing connections can be kept alive and reused if the server supports it. Whether or not this improves things depends on the connection.
- When dropping privileges, membership in supplementary groups is given up as well. Not doing that can lead to Privoxy running with more rights than necessary and violates the principle of least privilege. Users of the –user option are advised to update. Thanks to Matthias Drochner for reporting the problem, providing the initial patch and testing the final version.
- Passing invalid users or groups with the –user option didn’t lead to program exit. Regression introduced in 3.0.7.
- The match all section has been moved from default.action to a new file called match-all.action. As a result the default.action no longer needs to be touched by the user and can be safely overwritten by updates.
- The standard.action file has been removed. Its content is now part of the default.action file.
- In some situations the logged content length was slightly too low.
- Crunched requests are logged with their own log level. If you used “debug 1″ in the past, you’ll probably want to additionally enable “debug 1024″, otherwise only passed requests will be logged. If you only care about crunched requests, simply replace “debug 1″ with “debug 1024″.
- The crunch reason has been moved to the beginning of the crunch message. For HTTP URLs, the protocol is logged as well.
- Log messages are shortened by printing the thread id on its own (as opposed to putting it inside the string “Privoxy()”).
- The config option socket-timeout has been added to control the time Privoxy waits for data to arrive on a socket.
- Support for remote toggling is controlled by the configure option –disable-toggle only. In previous versions it also depended on the action editor and thus configuring with the –disable-editor option would disable remote toggling support as well.
- Requests with invalid HTTP versions are rejected.
- The template symbol @date@ can be used to include a date(1)-like time string. Initial patch submitted by Endre Szabo.
- Responses from shoutcast servers are accepted again. Problem reported and fix suggested by Stefan.
- The hide-forwarded-for-headers action has been replaced with the change-x-forwarded-for{} action which can also be used to add X-Forwarded-For headers. The latter functionality already existed in Privoxy versions prior to 3.0.7 but has been removed as it was often used unintentionally (by not using the hide-forwarded-for-headers action).
- A “clear log” view option was added to the mingw32 version to clear out all of the lines in the Privoxy log window. Based on a patch submitted by T Ford.
- The mingw32 version uses “critical sections” now, which prevents log message corruption under load. As a side effect, the “no thread-safe PRNG” warning could be removed as well.
- The mingw32 version’s task bar icon is crossed out and the color changed to gray if Privoxy is toggled off.

Advanced Launcher is an integrated toolbar and tray launcher. It can show several fully customizable toolbars at a time. When you click a toolbar button it can either run an application (open a document) or show multilevel customizable menu. Menus can also show contents of folders (e.g. Programs folder from the Start menu or Desktop folder). You can minimize toolbars to tray and access them as menus.
Features:
- Works under Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 operating system (or higher).
- You can create several toolbars that can be shown at the same time. Each toolbar can be shown as a button bar or as a tray icon.
- Button bars can dock to the edges of the screen like Windows application bars. Docked bars can be autohidden so they don´t consume any space on the screen. They appear when you move cursor to the screen edge.
- You can create your own menu system (with submenus), which can contain any items that you want. The unique feature of Advanced Launcher is that you can associate menu items with the folders so there will be submenus with the items referring to the items of the folder. It is especially useful if you have a folder with shortcuts (e.g. Programs or Desktop) on your disk and want to quickly access these links.
- If the toolbar is shown as a tray icon you can access all the items of the toolbar. Click left mouse button on the tray icon to do that.
- You can vary different toolbar properties (style of buttons, border, etc.) and items (command, parameters, icon, etc.)
- Advanced Launcher is really easy to use. All options are shown in one window, you can navigate through options of toolbars, items and the program with the help of the tree view control.
