kiwi 1.9.16

GNOME 3715 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Kiwi is a PyGTK framework for building graphical applications loosely based on MVC Model-View-Controller (MVC) and Allen Holub's Visual proxy [1]. Think of Kiwi as a high-level, object-oriented layer built on PyGTK. Its design is based on real-world experience using PyGTK to develop large desktop applications, which use many concepts common to most graphical applications: multiple windows and dialogs, forms, data persistence, lists and high-level classes that support domain objects directly.

Tomboy 0.7.2 Released (development release)

GNOME 3715 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Tomboy 0.7.2 is the third development release of the 0.7.x series leading up to 0.8.0. 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 Tasks addin has been added, allowing you to create a task in a note by simply starting a line with "todo:". It also provides a more sophisticated stand-alone task management UI, available from the notes menu. Every part of this addin is subject to change, as it is undergoing heavy development. Any feedback is appreciated, of course.

Speaking of addins, Tomboy's entire plugin infrastructure has been revamped to use the new Mono.Addins library. This makes it much easier to create "extension points" within Tomboy where addin developers can hook in their features. All built-in plugins have been converted to addins, but third-party developers will need to update their code. Old-style note plugins will no longer be recognized by Tomboy.

libbtctl and gnome-bluetooth 0.9

GNOME 3715 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Quite a few fixes in those new versions. They're ABI compatible with 0.8.x, so if you package those for a distro, please make sure to upgrade.

* What is it?
- libbtctl is a (deprecated) library for discovering Bluetooth devices, and contains the backend for the Obex server and client
- gnome-bluetooth is a (deprecated) collection of widgets for use with GNOME applications, and an Obex server and client applications

Those 2 libraries will soon be rendered useless by the advent of the OpenObex D-Bus server (a Google Summer of Code project), and the move of the applications and widgets into the bluez-gnome package.

* Changelog, short version:
- Discovering new devices works again
- Sending files to some device works for the first time (those devices were waiting for a disconnect before handling the file, and we weren't disconnecting cleanly)

Full version in the ChangeLog and NEWS files in each package.

* Download:
Tarballs are available at:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-bluetooth/0.9/
and

GARNOME 2.19.5 -- "pleasantly punctual patch"

GNOME 3715 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

GARNOME 2.19.5 has been released:

The "pleasantly punctual patch" release.

We are pleased to announce the release of GARNOME 2.19.5 Desktop and Developer Platform. This release includes all of GNOME 2.19.5 plus a bunch of updates that were released after the GNOME freeze date.

This is the fifth release in the unstable cycle, with more features, more fixes and yet more madness added. Also icons. Indeed, icons. ;-) 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.

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:

Deskbar-Applet 2.19.5 released

GNOME 3715 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.
