fwiw, I wasn't referring to your post when I said labeling was important. For all I knew you had already clearly labeled it, it was just for reference. Thanks for clarification though.

Posting alphas of mods that update everyday due to automated uploading build systems is probably not worthwhile... If a dev flags a build as "hey people, try this out, there'c cool new stuff but beware it's alpha, only test worlds please", sure go ahead, it'll likely interest people (obviously give a disclaimer).
I actually agree with this to a good extent, but its different when its rolled up into a big summary.
Specifically: I'm not really excited about seeing a single post devoted to every single typo-correction in every mod ever. But a bunch of them for a bunch of mods rolled into one post? Go for it.
You can kind of figure out what changed between the hourly/daily/near-daily alphas by paying attention to CoFH's Github repository, but yeah it's generally not advisable to care about them, especially at this point. Just go enjoy the newest release of everything

Dynious is making a new mod, Biota!
Biota is a work-in-progress aiming to make the Minecraft plant life less static. Ground will have nutrients that plants need to grow and live. The aim is to make this as close to reality as possible. Of course it should stay fun too, so things will be simplified.
Nutrients & Light
Nutrients are essential for plants. Over-farming on the same ground will make your plant grow more slowly and eventually die. Plants will change color when a certain nutrient is missing. This can give you an idea on what your plants need to grow. Of course plants will not only need nutrients to grow, but also to stay alive. When an ecosystem is stable bacteria will decompose all dead plants (and animals) and give back the nutrients to the ground, so new plants can grow.
But not only nutrients are needed for plants to stay alive. Light is also an essential resource for plants. Plants get their energy from light and to little light means no plants. This will also be like this is with Biota.
Spread & Die
When plant have more than enough nutrients and light to grow, they will also start to spread. When your ground is fertile enough one seed might be enough to fill a whole farm. But when a plant spreads too fast it might start competing with other plants, causing them to not grow or even die. Survival of the Fittest.
You as a player can also have an impact on the world around you. What happens when you walk on the same patch of grass over and over? Yes, it gets worn and dies. This also happens with Biota.

You can say that again. It looks like it would cause every plant to tick and massive block updates all the time.
New Thaumcraft Addon by Blusunrize, Witching Gadgets!
Greetings, fellow Thaumaturge!
Welcome to WitchingGadgets, an addon for Thaumcraft 4.
This is a mod I have been working on since Thaumcraft was in 1.6.4 and I have finally moved to a stage at which I'm comfortable with releasing it. So now you get to play with it and find all the bugs I probably overlooked!
Unlike some more specifically themed addons, Witching Gadgets aims to be for one a more general expansion to Thaumcraft as well as a crossover mod between Thaumcraft and various others! This means that with my content I tried to stay as much "in-feel" with Thaumcraft's original design while still adding my own touch (like terrible puns and references in the texts). And because I'm a fan of combining mods for best effect, I added a lot of cross-mod support for Tinker's Construct, Botania, Railcraft and the likes.
Original Content
The original, Thaumcraft-inspired content of this mod is meant to be played alongside the main mod, so it ranges through all tech tiers.
For example, we have the Thaumic Stone Extruder, which is basically just a magical cobblegen...because really no magic mod adds one. x3
Or the Essentia Pump, which allows you to draw Essentia from a mirror and insert it back into a tube system!
Or maybe something more advanced, like the Arcane Terrestrial Reformer, which allows you to change the biome around you to six basic environments, by use of Essentia and Terra Vis!
Or, my personal favourites of original content: My custom Baubles. I have written an "extension" of Baubles already, Traveller's Gear, and this mod now actually makes use of its slots! It add 4 magically enhanced cloaks, 2 pauldrons and 2 vambraces, and a ring, each of them with effects not so commonly seen in other mods, like knockback resistance, fast ladder-climbing or a fortune+looting improvement!
Lastly I'd like to present a simple, but quite useful addition to the Thaumonomicon:
A search bar! You can now search for researches, and it will even find them based on the recipe outputs the research contains!
Cross-Mod Compatibility
As stated before, I like to combine mods to get the best effects of both. As such, I added a bunch of cross-mod interaction between this and other mods. This ranges from basic (by by today's standards obligatory) OreDictionary use to more advanced stuff.
My personal favourite however is the Infernal Blast Furnace:
This artistic masterpiece was designed by Mr. Damien Hazard, the artist also responsible for Thaumcraft's Crimson Cultists as well as the Fortress Armor and many others. He designed his thing on a whim and I decided to implement it for him!
This thing will smelt iron into steel, but it will do so like an Infernal Furnace would, using magical energies like Essentia and Vis. It can also accept bellows to run faster. Further more it will be able to smelt Thaumcraft's Native Clusters into whopping three ingots!
It also has full NEI and Minetweaker support. =3
Talking about native Clusters, this mod adds quite a few! And it builds them dynamically, based on the ore dictionary. This means that it will analyse the ore-texture and create the cluster accordingly:
As you can see, it event differentiates Stone-,Netherrack- and Endstone-based ores.
It supports all TCon ores, Metallurgy 4, Nickel (Ferrous) and Dark Iron from Factorization!
Oh, they can also smelt into 3 ingots in a TCon Smeltery. That amount is configurable =P
Lastly, one of the features I sank quite a bit of time into: Forge Multiparts. Thaumcraft's Essentia Tubes now work as Multiparts and can be covered and jacketed! They still work the same, except for the fact that depending on the covers used, they will not connect!
Oh, also, if you've played with Botania's new cosmetic additions, like the tiny potato mask or the bowtie: You can add those to any of my baubles, as well as all Traveller's Gear items =3
Olympia Content System has a first official release
Olympia, as a thing, is a mod/api designed to add large numbers of blocks, items, and more in a consistent manner. With Olympia you'll be able to register several "flavours" of metal, wood, stone, gem, and so on.
Here's an example: All I've done is provide all the textures that Olympia will need, and registered the metal "Mythril". Here's what an NEI screenshot of all the blocks and items generated by Olympia, just by me typing out one line.
A note before continuing, Olympia generates everything in combinations of Flavours, Patterns, and for blocks: Shapes.
For each flavour registered, it creates blocks for that flavour in each pattern, and for each pattern for each flavour it creates several shaped blocks. First, let's take a look at our shapes.
As you can see, we have several shapes for each pattern/flavour combination. I won't go into detail about what each of them can do just yet, but suffice it to say that your creative palette is VASTLY expanded with these shapes. Stay tuned for more information on these here shapes.
Meet the Content...
Below is just a handful of examples of all the blocks that I've added to my minecraft using Olympia. On default windowed screen size and normal GUI sizing, NEI has 265 pages of Olympia content THUS FAR.
First, the various patterns generated when you register a flavour. This example is Titanium
Brick, Bullion, Machined, Panel, Plate, Tile
Here's what flavours I have registered so far. The example here is JUST the Plate pattern.
Like Metal, stone has it's own Pattern set, seen here. I think for this example I used Granite
Brick, Cobblestone, Flagstone, Hewn, Masonry, Paving, Rough, Smooth, Tile
And the flavours so far, using the Hewn Pattern for example purposes
Wood only uses three patterns (but a fourth pattern is in the works)
Boards, Planks, Slats
And the flavours I have registered so far...
Gem patterns are as follows
Cut, Fancy, Rough, and Smooth
And the flavours registered thus far....
Coming Soon...
Decoration items - items that you attach to the side of blocks for even more decorative power.
Lanterns - a wide palette of styles and colors above and beyond the 16-colors of Vanilla Minecraft.
Large Doors - 3-blocks wide and 5 blocks tall. Huge number of combinations based on the wood and metal flavours.
Special Blocks - wierd stuff that you can only see to believe, including Windmills, Waterwheels, and much more.
Sneak peek...
remember some of those wierd blocks I was telling you about, well, here's just a couple to show off.
On the left is a pair of Avernian Gates (inspired by an old JRPG called Xenogears and it's spinoff Xenosaga). Each registered flavour gets an Avernian Gate. On the right is a few Pylons (obviously inspired by Starcraft and Botania). Each Metal/Gem flavour combination gets a pylon. To the extreme right: a very happy horse.
Code:
Olympia v0.1-RFPA
*This is the first release, be patient
