FWB BackUp ToolKit 3.0 is the latest version of this "full-featured backup utility." The major addition in this version is support for Mac OS X. However, initial feedback on VersionTracker suggests that it may not back up all files (e.g., it will not back up files that you do not have permissions for, even if you are logged in as an administrator). It is also not clear if it restores all the links needed for the volume to be bootable. However, it looks good as a tool to exactly copy (mirror) folders. Apparently it is derived from Tri-Backup.

X Font Manager 1.0b3 is a simple font manager for Mac OS X. It let you activate and deactivate your fonts by moving them in and out the Fonts folders. The update adds support (and requires) for Mac OS X 10.1.1.

Youpi Key 1.5.1 is an automation utility, which can run an action based on a keyboard equivalent, an item of a menu and/or a programmed date (each day, each week, each month at a specified time). This is a bug-fix update.

HotApp 1.0.rc1 lets you assign a hot key to activate/run any OS X application. New in this version: HotApp does not appear in the Dock any more; rather HotApp installs an icon in the menu bar.

MarshmallowLibrarian b3 lets you search documentation quickly and easily. Thanks to extensive multi threading enabled by Mac OS X, the application is always ready to serve you; it can execute searches even when indexing. New in this version: The integrated viewer can be turned off; Symbolic links in indexed directories are followed.

FireWire DCam driver 1.0b8 enables FireWire web cameras to work with OS X. New in this version: Fixed a crash with SiteCam; Fixed a crash with Oculus X; Fixed slow video in Oculus, settings dialog, and CoolCam; Fixed a potential bad video problem when we don't get enough time to service the camera.
