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)

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.

Translators

- Kjartan Maraas (nb)
- Hendrik Richter (de)
- Yair Hershkovitz (he)
- Erdal Ronahi (ku)
- Francisco Javier F. Serrador (es)
- Priit Laes (et)

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):

Comments/questions are welcome,

==================

In anticipation of two new games - a chess game and a sodoku game - Ataxx has been disabled in default builds. gataxx will be removed from GNOME Games during the 2.18 release cycle. This is the result of a survey conducted of GNOME Games users.

Network multiplayer has been added to Gnibbles, Iagno and Four-in-a-Row. These games use GGZ Gaming Zone to implement multiplayer, and connect to games.gnome.org by default. For more information about multiplayer games, see: =C2 http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGames/Multiplayer
