Purify 0.1 released

The initial release of Purify has been announced. Apparently, IBM also has a project with the same name, so the search is on for a new name. "Purify is a graphical tool used to make the management of PureFTPd a little easier. It uses the GTK+2.x widgets for its GUI and thus are not dependent on a specific desktop environment such as GNOME or KDE. It is, however, designed with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines in mind so it should integrate nicely with at least GNOME."

Rational also has a tool called Purify which is supposed to find memory corruption, leak, etc. in programs...

Ouch! That name had better be changed in a hurry, before the "cease and desist" letters arrive.
