GtkUnique 0.1.0 has been released:
For the Google Summer of Code, Vytas Liuolia[1] wrote the (very much needed) guniqueapp library[2]; just a small recap: libguniqueapp allows the creation of single instance applications[3], that is applications that gets instanced once and each subsequent instance just quits - or send a command to the currently running instance.
Libguniqueapp has two available backends: D-Bus, as default, and bacon (a Un*x socket living in /tmp and used to send and receive commands). After reading about guniqueapp on desktop-devel-list, I began hacking on it in order to add a new backend, using X itself as an IPC mechanism.

*** Glom
With Glom you can design table definitions and the relationships between them, plus arrange the fields on the screen. You can edit and search the data in those tables, and specify field values in terms of other fields. It's as easy as it should be.
Glom 1.2 adds some new features and minor UI changes and includes bugfixes from the Glom 1.0.x branch.
More information and screenshots are at http://www.glom.org
*** Glom 1.2.0:
New features in Glom 1.2:
* Really remember the last-viewed record on the details view when navigating between tables.
* List view: Remember column widths when you resize them manually. Bug #358089 from Peter Williams.
* Related records:
- When clicking the open button, show a warning dialog when the related record indicates a non-existant doubly-related record, making navigation impossible.
- Allow navigation to doubly-related records (such as products from invoice lines on an invoice record), even when only the ID key is shown.
* Help buttons now work, though more help text is needed. (Johannes Schmid and Don Scorgie)

GARNOME 2.17.1
=============
The "fasten your seatbelts... 2.18 on the horizon" release.
We are pleased to announce the release of GARNOME 2.17.1 Desktop and Developer Platform. This release includes all of GNOME 2.17.1 plus a whole bunch of updates that were released after the GNOME freeze date.
This is the first development release on our road towards GNOME 2.18.0, which will be released in March 2007.
This release is for anyone who wants to get his hands dirty on the development branch, or who'd like to get a peek at future features. If you want to help spot issues in GARNOME, (or, better yet, fix 'em ;-) this release is for you as well.

Welcome to the new GNOME development cycle! Please fasten your seat belt: you're going to see a lot of exciting new changes!, new features!, new bugfixes!, new translations!, new documentation!. Lots of modules have great plans for 2.18 and if you're willing to help, there's a lot of areas where you'll be heartily welcomed! Don't hesitate to ask how or where you can help. If you don't even know where to start, just send a mail to our fantastic gnome-love mailing list.
GNOME Power Manager is a session daemon that makes it easy to manage the power consumption on your laptop or desktop system.
This _unstable_ release contains lots of new features and bugfixes since 2.17.1 was released.
=============
Version 2.17.2
=============
Released October 18, 2006
General
- Fix up the recent configure change to allow g-p-m to build without libnotity (Frederic Peters) #359824
- Add in preliminary support for detecting batteries that might explode.
See http://hughsient.livejournal.com/ for more details.
Power Manager
- Fix the hal interface so we automatically connect up the device DeviceCondition and PropertyChanged on HAL restart. #349842
- Remove a potential null-dereference, spotted by Joseph Sacco. #356667
- Replace the hardware info pane with a drop-down of devices. #356804 This saves another 200kb from the daemon process.
- Add initial support for keyboard backlight device - this works with the Apple Macbook Pro. (David Zeuthen) #357994
- Only load the GpmHal* interface gobjects if we have the hardware. This saves another 100k of writable memory on my desktop PC.
- Use the localised general string to describe the battery device in the dropdown. #362690.
- Add XEVENTS functionality. This allows g-p-m to respond to events sent by X, as soon the kernel is going to be outputting INPUT events.
- Fix up a couple of small memory leaks detected by valgrind.
Power Preferences
- Fix guniqueapp support for the preferences program (Elijah Newren) and add support in the statistics program.
- Make the auto-sleep functionality disable feature easier to understand.
Power Statistics
- gnome-power-statistics now works instead of the "Information" screen that we used before. As it this is out of process we save 300kb for each instance of gnome-power-manager daemon running.
- We can now trivially add new graph types and export them over DBUS.
- The statistics application now includes light/dark coloured symbols with different shapes for colour-blind or partially sighted people.
- gnome-power-statistics now remembers settings between invocations.
- Add a proper tango gpm-statistics tango icon. (Jakub Steiner)
- Add an icon the the statistics program to the "System Tools" menu.

I'm pleased to annouce that the first beta version of libgda/libgnomedb (version 1.99.0) have been released.
libgda/libgnomedb are a complete framewok for developing database-oriented applications, and actually allow access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, SQLite, FireBird/Interbase, IBM DB2, mSQL and MS SQL server, as well as MS Access and xBase files and ODBC data sources.
libgda/libgnomedb are part of the GNOME Office application suite, providing database access for many features in both Gnumeric and Abiword.

Another GNOME internal library is born, libgnomekbd. Actually, it existed all the way from ... I do not remember when - as two virtual CVS modules - libgswitchit and libkbdraw (used in gnome-applets and gnome-control-center). Now (actually, starting from the next releases of g-c-c and g-a), these virtual modules are history. A separate project is here to stay, 2 separate .so objects (one of them does not depend on gtk), separate unit tests, GConf schemas, translation, bugs etc.
What's inside:
- keyboard configuration persistence (over GConf).
- keyboard configuration registry, client and server parts (using DBUS).
- keyboard indicator widget (can be used in any GNOME application).
- keyboard layout indication widget (can be used in any GNOME application).
The code is in gnome CVS (libgnomekbd). Tagged v_0_1.
The source tarball is available from sf.net (sorry, I do not have
access to download.gnome.org):
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gswitchit/libgnomekbd-0.1.tar.gz?download
Comments/questions are welcome,
Sergey

Notes:
* This is unstable development release. While it has had fairly extensive testing, there are likely bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production.
* Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of Pango. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall Pango-1.14.x
* Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
* This version includes partial results of the Vertical Pango work conducted by Mathrick and myself. The remaining bits will be integrated soon.
About Pango
===========
Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed, though most of the work on Pango so far has been done in the context of the GTK+ widget toolkit. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.x.
Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout engine can be used with different font backends. There are three basic backends, with multiple options for rendering with each.
- Client side fonts using the FreeType and fontconfig libraries. Rendering can be with with Cairo or Xft libraries, or directly to an in-memory buffer with no additional libraries.
- Native fonts on Microsoft Windows using Uniscribe for complex-text handling). Rendering can be done via Cairo or directly using the native Win32 API.
- Native fonts on MacOS X, rendering via Cairo.
The integration of Pango with Cairo (http://cairographics.org) provides a complete solution with high quality text handling and graphics rendering.
Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particular combinations of script and font backend. Pango ships with a wide selection of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic, Hangul, Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all of the world's major scripts are supported.
As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes PangoLayout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized text.
More information about Pango is available from http://www.pango.org/. Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
Pango 1.15 depends on version 2.12.0 or newer of the GLib library and version 1.2.2 or newer of the cairo library (if the cairo backend is desired); more information about GLib and cairo can be found at http://www.gtk.org/ and http://cairographics.org/ respectively.

The 2.17.0 release is an unstable release of GDM with the following new features.
- Now when GDM_ADD_MODULES is set, GDM will launch at-spi-registryd. (Ariel Rios)
- New SupportAutomount option which, when turned on, changes the way that GDM accesses the user's $HOME/.dmrc file so that automounted $HOME directories can be configured to work even when the automounter is not started with the --ghost option. (Jerzy Borkowski)
- Fix so that if timed login script returns an invalid user, timed login is not turned on. Fix for bug #340148. (Andrew - andrewz@springsrescuemission.org).
- Fix for bug #352838, avoid crashing by moving call to get GDM_KEY_SYSTEM_MENU until after authentication check. (Frederic Crozat)
- Use g_markup_printf_escaped so gdmsetup better handles description strings that contains things similar to a tag like an email address. Fixes bug #357998. (Matthias Clasen)
- Fix gdmsetup so that the window manager close button works as the Close button in the dialog. (Matthias Clasen)
- Add g_type_init() to gdmflexiserver since this is needed for -a (authentication) code to work. (Brian Cameron)
- Set authdir to NULL after freeing to avoid accessing an invalid pointer. Fix for bug #359831. (Amnon Aaronsohn)
- Memory leaks fixed. (Kjartan Maraas)
- Translation updates (Abel Cheung, Yair Hershkovitz, Raphael Higino, Priit Laes, \303\205smund Skj\303\246veland, Ivar Smolin)
Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <mkp@mkp.net>. Much work has been done on GDM2 by George Lebl, and Brian Cameron currently shares maintainership duties with the Queen of England.
Note2: If installing from the tarball do note that make install overwrites most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf. It will however save backups with the .orig extension first.

rpmbuild -ta gdm-whatever.tar.gz
- Now when GDM_ADD_MODULES is set, GDM will launch at-spi-registryd. (Ariel Rios)
- New SupportAutomount option which, when turned on, changes the way that GDM accesses the user's $HOME/.dmrc file so that automounted $HOME directories can be configured to work even when the automounter is not started with the --ghost option. (Jerzy Borkowski)
- Fix so that if timed login script returns an invalid user, timed login is not turned on. Fix for bug #340148. (Andrew - andrewz@springsrescuemission.org).
- Fix for bug #352838, avoid crashing by moving call to get GDM_KEY_SYSTEM_MENU until after authentication check. (Frederic Crozat)
- Use g_markup_printf_escaped so gdmsetup better handles description strings that contains things similar to a tag like an email address. Fixes bug #357998. (Matthias Clasen)
- Fix gdmsetup so that the window manager close button works as the Close button in the dialog. (Matthias Clasen)
- Add g_type_init() to gdmflexiserver since this is needed for -a (authentication) code to work. (Brian Cameron)
- Set authdir to NULL after freeing to avoid accessing an invalid pointer. Fix for bug #359831. (Amnon Aaronsohn)
- Memory leaks fixed. (Kjartan Maraas)
