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 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 "Heureusement qu'il y a des contributeurs..." release:
contributions to gnome-panel are welcome, and I'm glad to see some people providing patches (even for trivial fixes). And to be honest, the changelog for this release would be quite empty without their contributions ;-)

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.

This release is available at
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-panel/2.11/gnome-panel-2.11.4.tar.bz2

If you want to contribute to gnome-panel, walk, no, run to http://live.gnome.org/GnomePanel

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:
