gcalctool v5.9.9

GNOME 3715 Published 2006-12-18 21:14 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Gcalctool is the default GNOME desktop calculator.

It has Basic, Advanced, Financial and Scientific modes. Internally it uses multiple precision arithmetic to produce results to a high degree of accuracy.

This release is for GNOME 2.17.4. I've marked it as "maybe unstable" as the small but significant change for bug #371669 to fix base conversion problems in arithmetic precedence mode, requires further testing. Please let us know of any problems you might find as soon as possible.

GNOME 2.17.3 Released

GNOME 3715 Published 2006-12-07 23:35 by Philipp Esselbach 0

GNOME 2.17.3 has been released:

This is our third development release on the road towards GNOME 2.18.0, which will be released in March 2007.

You all know what you have to do now. Go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it.

To compile GNOME 2.17.3, you can use GARNOME (http://www.gnome.org/projects/garnome/, which supports users and has additional/different modules available), or the jhbuild (http://www.gnome.org/~jamesh/jhbuild.html) modulesets (which use the exact tarball versions from the official release) available at:

GARNOME 2.17.3 -- "do not go gentle into that good night"

GNOME 3715 Published 2006-12-07 11:10 by Philipp Esselbach 0

GARNOME 2.17.3 has been released:

The "do not go gentle into that good night" release.

We are pleased to announce the release of GARNOME 2.17.3 Desktop and Developer Platform. This release includes all of GNOME 2.17.3 plus a whole bunch of further updates.

This is the third release in the unstable cycle, with more features, more fixes and yet more madness added. It 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.

As usual, you can get the tarball directly from the gnome.org site:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/garnome/2.17/

Note: GNOME 2.17.x is an unstable branch and is assumed to be a moving target. Therefore, things in this release may not work as advertised.

If you find any issues with this release, feel free to contact the GARNOMEies in the #garnome channel on GIMPNet (irc://irc.gnome.org), where we hang out, or post to the mailing list.

More information is available at our project website:
