gnome-panel 2.10.0 has been released:

GNOME panel is, well, the panel in GNOME. You know, the bar you see at the top and at the bottom of your desktop, with menus and lots of applets on it. That's it. That's the panel.

This is the "Mais où sont passés les bugs ?" release: since the 2.8.0 release, 732 gnome-panel bugs were marked as RESOLVED (including 190 FIXED, 347 DUPLICATE, 82 INCOMPLETE and 74 NOTGNOME) and 321 were marked as CLOSED. Of course, this is just some figures from bugzilla and it doesn't even count a lot of other fixes and improvements. We now have 144 open bugs and 94 open enhancement requests in bugzilla. And we hope to bring these numbers down again in the next development cycle.

GNOME Nettool 1.2.0 has been released

GNOME Nettool is a network information tool which provides user interfaces for some of the most common command line network tools, like ping, whois, traceroute, etc.

It was originally based on Mac OS X's network information tool, but has since then improved over so much that it now clearly exceeds Mac OS X's tool with more features and a better UI.

Evince is a document viewer. It's kind of the answer to the postcript, pdf, dvi, [insert document here] viewer problem that we've always had. It's designed to be a simple multi-page document viewer, it has support for thumbnails and bookmarks right now. Zooming, search, clipboard and most other functions are working or coming along since it is still very much at the early stages of stability.
