PyORBit is a Python binding for the ORBit2 CORBA ORB. It was developped to suit the needs of the bonobo bindings in GNOME-Python, but is usable for other purposes as well. It aims to follow the standard Python language mapping for CORBA. It can generate stubs at runtime from typelibs, IDL files, or by introspecting remote objects using ORBit2's IModule typelib capabilities.

The source tarball can be found here:

Version 0.2.3 of new-stuff-manager is out and waiting to get downloaded.

Major changes
=============
This release depends on managed D-Bus version 0.5.2 or higher because prior releases aren't thread-safe and therefore cause problems. A DownloadManager interface[1] has been added. An example script[2] demonstrates the usage. In addition, the repository for Deskbar-Applet works again and bugs were fixed, too.

GARNOME 2.19.2 has been released:

The "Don't Stop the Beat" release.

We are pleased to announce the release of GARNOME 2.19.2 Desktop and Developer Platform. This release includes all of GNOME 2.19.2 plus a bunch of updates that were released after the GNOME freeze date.

This is the second release in the unstable cycle, with more features, more fixes and yet more madness added. It is for anyone who wants to get his hands dirty on the development branch, or who'd like to get a peek at future features. If you want to help spot issues in GARNOME, (or, better yet, fix 'em ;-) this release is for you as well.

As usual, you can get the tarball directly from the gnome.org site:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/garnome/2.19/

Note: GNOME 2.19.x is an unstable branch and is assumed to be a moving target. Therefore, things in this release may not work as advertised.

If you find any issues with this release, feel free to contact the GARNOMEies in the #garnome channel on GIMPNet (irc://irc.gnome.org), where we hang out, or post to the mailing list.

More information is available at our project website:
http://www.gnome.org/projects/garnome/

Enjoy,

The GARNOME Team

WengoPhone 2.1.0 has been released:

After a short 6 month release cycle, the next major upgrade to the WengoPhone is now available. This version is a vast improvement over the previous version in a number of areas:

* Interoperability

Support has been added to allow the easy configuration of a SIP account for platforms other than the Wengo platform. This long requested feature means that the user has total choice over the telephony platform they want to use, including their own provate SER, OpenSER or Asterisk server. In addition, considerable effort has gone into improving the interoperability of the WengoPhone with other SIP clients.
