The gnome-speech v0.4.12 release is designated for GNOME 2.16.x, GNOME 2.18.x, and GNOME 2.19.2.
This email is to announce Tomboy 0.7.0, the first development release of 0.7.x. 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.
PACKAGERS: Please note that automatic detection of the dbus service directory has been removed as a convenience for developers running make install. Please adjust your packages accordingly. You may specify --with-dbus-service-dir=DIR to specify the directory where org.gnome.Tomboy.service should be installed.

Empathy consists of a rich set of reusable instant messaging widgets, and a GNOME client using those widgets. It uses Telepathy and Nokia's Mission Control, and reuses Gossip's UI. The main goal is to permit desktop integration by providing libempathy and libempathy-gtk libraries. libempathy-gtk is a set of powerful widgets that can be embeded into any GNOME application.

The thirty-sixth development release of PythonCAD, a CAD package for open-source software users. As the name implies, PythonCAD is written entirely in Python. The goal of this project is to create a fully scriptable drafting program that will match and eventually exceed features found in commercial CAD software. PythonCAD is released under the GNU Public License (GPL).
If you have no clue what GDM is, refer to the documentation links at the bottom of this announcement.
This version of GDM should work much better than 2.19.0. Many build problems were corrected, and several annoying bugs fixed that were introduced in the 2.19.0 release (now shutdown and reboot work from the GNOME panel, for example). Several new features have been implemented and many patches from the Debian builds are now upstream, thanks to Lo\357c Minier.
