Scratchpad 0.3.0

GNOME 3715 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Scratchpad 0.3.0 is now available from:
http://www.chorse.org/stuff/scratchpad/scratchpad-0.3.0.tar.bz2

About
===
Scratchpad is a lightweight but useful spatial text editor for the GNOME desktop, based on gtksourceview.

This is the first release after the port to Vala, which means that Scratchpad runs natively now and does not require mono anymore. Another new feature is tag-based replacing, as demonstrated in this screencast:
http://dborg.wordpress.com/files/2006/09/scratchpad-replace.gif

Changes since 0.2
==========
New Features:
- Complete port/rewrite to Vala, Scratchpad now runs (flys) natively!
- Tag-based replace mechanism.
- Use GUniqueApp for single instance behaviour, so startup notification
and focus stealing should work better now.

Removed Features:
- No more GnomeVFS, waiting for GVFS!
- Revisions. Wasn't happy with them, to be reconsidered.
- Autosave and save options. Now defaults to save on focus out (saving your laptop batteries).
- Tools menu.

Bugfixes:
- It's practically a rewrite, so all bugs should be brand new!
- Icon sucks less.

Known Problems:
- Font changes won't take effect immediately.

Accessibility Test Suite 2.11.1 and 2.15.1 (Liquids Now Permissable)

GNOME 3715 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Accessibility Test Suite 2.11.1 and 2.15.1 are now available

In light of the recent loosening of TSA travel requirements on airlines, I also bring good tidings in the form of scripts which will help your applications better fit into the world of Universal Access Design. These scripts evaluate applications in the desktop for missing accessibility features in widgets used within, and create reports of this data, so that these issues may be fixed.

It is possible to write a script to scan any application which supports using ATK on some level within itself. Scripts currently exist for the following applications:

- Banshee
- beagle-search
- The SLED 10 App Browser and Control Center
- Evolution (incomplete, but covers most of the mailer UI currently)
- GEdit
- GIMP (very incomplete, but covers several basic interfaces)
- The preference dialogs in gnome-control-center
- gnome-passwd from SUSE
- GNOME System Monitor
- RealPlayer 10
- Yelp
- zen-installer from SLED 10
