This is a bugfix release of the stable branch of gnome-games. In particular, several critically important bugfixes have gone into Sudoku. Upgrading to this more stable version ASAP is highly recommended because of the bugfixes.

GNOME Power Manager is a session daemon that makes it easy to manage the power on your laptop or desktop system.

Yes, I'm late. I know. I'm right in the middle of my University finals, so that's excuse enough I think.

This _unstable_ release contains lots of crazy new code since 2.18.0 was released. WARNING, this code may impregnate your cat and _will_ steal all of the magazines from the bathroom.

In particular, this release has enabled by default the new profiling code, so even if your laptop battery or UPS is old and broken, you'll still get a 99% perfect time remaining all throughout your discharge and charge cycle. Hopefully.

Downside, g-p-m has to profile your battery, so for the first couple of charge/discharge cycles the time remaining will be either missing or roughly guessed. Luckily it does all this profiling in the background, so just use your computer like normal.

Please send feedback to the gnome-power-manager-list_at_gnome_dot_org mailing list, where you can send flames or encouragement.

Cool screenshot:

Please test this new feature, I really want to switch it on by default for 2.20.

Thanks.

Richard.

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.

GLib 2.12.12 is now available for download at:

ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/2.12/
http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.12/

glib-2.12.12.tar.bz2 md5sum: 0b3a42098243d054475ff6eb51ed2be1
glib-2.12.12.tar.gz md5sum: 6c6a61e4b08fb4b110ca7953f71c8b5e

This is a bug fix release in the 2.12 series.

GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.

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.gz
MD5: 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.gz
MD5: 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=swfdec
