GSwitchIt Plugins are updated to the latest stable GNOME version 2.10.

Unfortunately, on the way it lost the "First group per Application" plugin - because GNOME layout management was heavily redisigned.

Still, three existing plugins are handy:
- Flags (installs and enables flags instead of labels)
- Sounds (sound indication)
- Highlighter (using non-standard background/foreground colors, making
the applet no SO transparent).

The files are available either from GNOME CVS (gswitchit_plugins, tagged v_0_4) or from sf.net:

GNOME Nettool 1.3.0 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.

gnome-panel 2.10.2 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 "Oula, il y avait plein de bogues..." release: it seems 2.10.1 had some serious bugs, but Mark was fantastic and saved us. I'd like to also thank Kjartan for his nice patches and all the translators who are very active!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.

This release is available at
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-panel/2.10/gnome-panel-2.10.2.tar.bz2

eggcups 0.19.1 has been released:

Eggcups is a number of printing-related things, rolled into one big happy fun ball. Primarily though, it keeps track of your print jobs.

Some other things it does are provide a "gnome-default-printer" command to pick your preferred printer, and optionally interact with hal-cups-utils for printer driver selection.

This is the first release with a tarball on ftp.gnome.org. It would be nice to get this in as an optional module in GNOME 2.12, so testing is appreciated.
