whatsnewfm is a filter for the daily newsletter from Freshmeat that only shows "new" or "interesting" items.
The main purpose is to cut the huge newsletter to a smaller size by only showing items that you didn't see before.
The items already seen will be stored in a database. After some time, the items expire and will be shown again the next time they are included in a newsletter.
If you find an item that you consider particularly useful, you can add it to a "hot" list. Items in the hot list are checked for updates so that you don't miss anything about your favourite programs.
