To find out what Genius is, skip a few paragraphs down, or go to
http://www.jirka.org/genius.htmlWell, here is one of the now sort of twice yearly release cycles of genius. Basically whenever I need to do something and genius doesn't do it, I have to implement it. Apart from some UI improvements (for example "show full answer" menu item which is absolutely needed if you get large matrices as results), the biggest new thing I suppose is the fact that I've implemented the cubic and quartic formulas correctly. As a result we can of course now compute eigenvalues for matrices up to 4x4, yay!
Kiwi is a PyGTK framework for building graphical applications loosely based on MVC Model-View-Controller (MVC) and Allen Holub's Visual proxy [1]. Think of Kiwi as a high-level, object-oriented layer built on PyGTK. Its design is based on real-world experience using PyGTK to develop large desktop applications, which use many concepts common to most graphical applications: multiple windows and dialogs, forms, data persistence, lists and high-level classes that support domain objects directly.
GNOME 2.16.3 has been released:
The latest stable release of GNOME is here: GNOME 2.16.3! This is the final release in a series of point releases for the 2.16 branch.
Come and see all the bug fixing, all the new translations and all the updated documentations brought to you by the wonderful team of GNOME contributors! While development continues on the GNOME 2.17/2.18 road, we didn't forget about making a new release that is rock solid. And simply better than the previous one.

I'm pleased to announce a new stable release of Tracker (version 0.5.4) - the all-in-one indexer, search tool and extensible metadata database.
Tarball :
http://www.gnome.org/~jamiemcc/tracker/tracker-0.5.4.tar.gzNew Features :
* Indexing at ludicrous speed - massively optimised indexing so its now 10x faster than previous version. Indexing speeds are now around 100 text files per second (which is about the maximum possible considering the I/O time to read 100 files from a hard drive).
GShow TV is a TV program schedule viewer and a Personal Video Recorder GUI. GShow TV's basic purpose is to provide a nice GUI for viewing tv program schedule information and for recording the programs. GShow TV doesn't itself do the recording of the selected programs, rather it uses any PVR solution that exists. GShow TV is globally usable as it uses XMLTV to access the program schedules.
GARNOME 2.17.90 (aka 2.18.0 Beta 1) has been released:
The "two sides of a beard" release.
We are pleased to announce the release of GARNOME 2.17.90 Desktop and Developer Platform. This release includes all of GNOME 2.17.90 (aka 2.18.0 Beta 1), tweaked and updated with love by the GARNOME Team.
GNOME 2.17.90 Development Release is now available:
Yet another GNOME release is now available. This is our sixth development release on our road towards GNOME 2.18.0, which will be released in March 2007. I guess you could say GNOME is marching forward. You know what I mean, say no more, say no more!
This release marks the start of the UI Freeze. If you break the freeze your picture will be added to the HIG under the heading "Banned for Life" and will have to live with the stigma of causing the "worst freeze ever".
