I am pleased to announce version 2.13.1 of the Python bindings for GObject, for your testing pleasure.
The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org as and its mirrors as soon as its synced correctly:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/pygobject/2.13/
Changes since 0.4:
* Plugged a memory leak. Previously, we were not destroying cairo contexts.
* First draft of a D-Bus interface.
* New add and remove workspace buttons.
* Respects #define MAX_REASONABLE_WORKSPACES 36 as per metacity.
* --trigger-on-caps-lock split into --also-trigger... and --only-trigger...

This is a special release: this is the first release with the completely rewriten core of Eye of GNOME. Also, some cool features were added.
As you can see, some of the bugs listed in this announcement were already fixed in previous releases. This is because we were working on a separate branch (eog-ng) for this new code and we kept fixing bugs on both trunk and eog-ng for some time.
There's still a lot of polishing work to do from now on. Testers, go on and use, debug, profile, play with, and crash EOG as much as you can. The plugin system and other new features are scheduled for 2.19.2.
Special thanks goes to Claudio Saavedra and Felix Riemann. Without those guys, this awesome release wouldn't be possible.

PySwfdec 0.4.4 (Apr 30 2007)
=================================
o First public release (Gian Mario)
My enthusiasm got a bit reduced after the last release, but it hasn't vanished. So here is the new release.
swfdec-0.4.4 "Birthday cards"
http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/download/swfdec/0.4/swfdec-0.4.4.tar.gzMD5: 7f69ae821c6002a857d99656758e8c0b
swfdec-mozilla-0.4.4 "The death camp of tolerance"
http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/download/swfdec/0.4/swfdec-mozilla-0.4.4.tar.gzMD5: 7d546ac5cc296e58198bb53ccb977021
This release is not really supporting more Flash files. It has focused on stability and features developers asked for. The big changes are support for decoding using GStreamer, a new libswfdec-gtk for easy embedding of Flash files in your application and cleaning up the API for easier bindings creation.
Swfdec still is development software, but has also followed a rigid no-crashes-allowed policy. I believe it's stable enough now to be installed as a default plugin in your browser. Don't expect Flash files to work, but expect the plugin to not crash. If it does, file a bug at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=swfdecFor additional info, see the homepage at

The Gnumeric team is proud to announce the release of Gnumeric 1.7.9, a development release. This release requires the concurrently released Goffice 0.3.8, see below.
With this release we (well, Andreas) have switched from gnome-print to GtkPrint and in the process fixed a large number of bugs caused by gnome-print. Undoubtedly we have a new set of bugs caused by GtkPrint, but there is some hope that GtkPrint will be better maintained than gnome-print ever was. Note: gnome-print is still linked in via goffice, but this will change.
In addition, this release uses the GtkRecentManager to handle recently-used documents and should thus interact better with Gnome.
Orca is a free, open source, flexible, and extensible screen reader that provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable combinations of speech, braille, and/or magnification. Orca development has been led by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility Program Office via continued engagement with its end users and contributions from wonderful community members.

Tomboy 0.7.0, the first development release of 0.7.x has been released. Like usual, please be aware that running the development series code is considered living on the edge (please make regular backup copies of your notes).
A new tagging system has been added. The UI that exists in this release is meant as just a testing ground for the underlying tagging system. If you're feeling up to the task, please submit a patch for a better tagging UI. We'd love to hear your comments surrounding tagging, what features surrounding it would be the most useful, and the UI you'd prefer to see.
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.
