Gnome-utils 2.17.1

GNOME 3719 Published 2007-01-09 11:12 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Here's another release of the GNOME Utilities package. I know, I know: the number of releases in the development cycle has been incredibly low, and unfortunately some of the promised features I tried to implement did not make it into the final cut; the plug-in and code refactoring of the system log viewer, for instance, didn't quite stabilise during development, so it'll need some more time in the oven in order to be ready. Another feature was the rework of the screenshot save dialog; that too will have to wait (not much, though, I promise). And, finally, the dictionary hasn't been ported to the GtkPrint API, so it'll still use libgnomeprint.

But what's new in this release, then? Here's the NEWS:

ANNOUNCE: gnome-mag 0.14.1

GNOME 3719 Published 2007-01-09 11:11 by Philipp Esselbach 0
