Deskbar-Applet 2.19.5 released

GNOME 3704 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

This release is the first release that contains the work from the Summer of Code branch. It features massive code refactoring including a new modules API[1] that replaces the old one. Therefore, old modules won't work. In addition, a new default GUI has been added, the other GUIs have been removed and the preferences dialog has slightly changed. This release does not contain any new big features, but it should provide almost all the features that Deskbar had before refactoring.

GNOME 3704 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

GARNOME 2.18.3 has been released:

The "Yes, we did" release.

Ooops. So I missed to send out the announcement immediately, and it somehow slipped my mind the next days. Sorry 'bout that. Yes, we did release it on Wed as scheduled. As always. So go grab it now, because...

We are pleased to announce the release of GARNOME 2.18.3. This release incorporates the GNOME 2.18.3 Desktop and Developer Platform, fine-tuned and updated with love by the GARNOME Team.

This is the forth (and last) release of the current stable GNOME branch, ironing out yet-more bugs, hopefully adding yet-more stability, and ships with the latest and greatest stable releases. As usual it includes updates and fixes after the official GNOME freeze, together with a host of third-party GNOME packages, Bindings and the Mono(tm) Platform.

PyGTK 2.10.5

The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org and its mirrors as soon as its synced correctly:

PyGTK provides a convenient wrapper for the GTK+ library for use in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details such as managing memory and type casting. When combined with PyORBit and gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured Gnome applications.

GDM2 2.18.3 (stable), the "Minor Difference" Release

GNOME 3704 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

If you have no clue what GDM is, refer to the documentation links at the bottom of this announcement.

The 2.18.3 release is a stable release of the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) program with the following bug fixes and improvements:

- Fix crashing issue with XDMCP logic. Fixes bug #436725. (Brian Cameron)

- Translation updates (Priit Laes)

Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <mkp mkp net>. Much work has been done on GDM2 by George Lebl; and Brian Cameron now currently shares maintainership duties with the Queen of England.

Note2: If installing from the tarball do note that make install overwrites most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf. It will however save backups with the .orig extension first.

cairo release 1.4.10 now available

GNOME 3704 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

A new cairo release 1.4.10 is now available from:

http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.4.10.tar.gz

which can be verified with:

http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.4.10.tar.gz.sha1
8371097e30650ec817b24694367110139627403e cairo-1.4.10.tar.gz

http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.4.10.tar.gz.sha1.asc
(signed by Carl Worth)

Additionally, a git clone of the source tree:

git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo

will include a signed 1.4.10 tag which points to a commit named:
107a74885a25e585b467c7841c6929a12aa62565

which can be verified with:
git verify-tag 1.4.10

and can be checked out with a command such as:
git checkout -b build 1.4.10

This is the fifth update in cairo's stable 1.4 series. It comes roughly three weeks after the 1.4.8 release. The most significant change in this release is a fix to avoid an X error in certain cases, (that were causing OpenOffice.org to crash in Fedora). There is also a semantic change to include child window contents when using an xlib surface as a source, an optimization when drawing many rectangles, and several minor fixes.

gThumb 2.10.5 (stable) released

GNOME 3704 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

gThumb is an Image Viewer and Browser.

gThumb 2.10.5 is now available for download at:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gthumb/2.10/gthumb-2.10.5.tar.gz
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gthumb/2.10/gthumb-2.10.5.tar.bz2

Why?
===

This is a bug-fix-only release for the stable branch. A serious bug that prevented saving after image touch-ups (changing brightness, contrast,
etc) was corrected.


All bug fixes in 2.10.5
======================

Fixed bug #448644 - Image brightness-contrast doesn't trigger save-ability.

Fixed bug #450110 - Remove extra space that causes build error.


Branches
=======

2.10.x is the current stable branch of gThumb.

Earlier versions are obsolete. Active distros that still use 2.7.x (ahem, FC6) should upgrade immediately to 2.8.1, which is the stable termination of the unstable 2.7.x series. There are no UI changes between 2.7.9 and 2.8.1. No further bug fixes are going into 2.8.x.

Development is happening in trunk and the metadata-ideas branch. No releases have been made yet from the development code.
