Hence
As of coreutils version 8.15, the date command supports hence, as in:
date -d ‘2 years hence’
Not earth-shattering news, perhaps, but as a huge fan of both the word hence and the software package coreutils, this makes me unreasonably happy!

rdiff-backup
rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a network. The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental backup.

id3shit
id3shit is a commandline based id3 editor that sucks a little bit less than the alternatives. It can read, write and strip tags, rename files based on the metadata and that’s about it.

zsh-completions
This projects aims at gathering/developing new completion scripts that are not available in Zsh yet. The scripts are meant to be contributed to the Zsh project when stable enough.
Having used zsh for a few years, it always comes as a bit of a shock when I can’t lazily autocomplete a command or argument—this does a great job of plugging the gaps.
