GARNOME 2.11.5.1 has been released:

If you've had no issues with 2.11.5, you will not need to update to this release, it is purely build fixes for corner cases that have come up since the initial release.

Gcalctool is the default GNOME desktop calculator.

It has Basic, Advanced, Financial and Scientific modes. Internally it uses multiple precision arithmetic to produce results to a high degree of accuracy.

This release is to fix a nasty crasher (see below). It's for the GNOME 2.11 release train.

Note that in order to build, gcalctool now requires Gtk+ v2.6.1 (or later).

gnome-games 2.11.2 has been released

This is the feature-freeze release of gnome-games. These are the major, user-visible, changes:

Aisleriot:
- Three new games: Carpet (almost completely pointless) and Backbone (not pointless at all) from Vincent Povirk. Triple Peaks from Richard Hoelscher.
- Hilighting of valid drop targets not works for all games where it makes sense (Vincent Povirk).
- Scores are hidden for games where it doesn't make sense (rah).

Four in a Row:
- New SVG graphics from Alan Horkan. The classic and high contrast themes has been updated and a new High Contrast Inverse theme has been added. Both of these accessibility themes now match the GNOME themes of the same name (Alan Horkan).
- Subtle grid-drawing improvements (callum).
- Some of the themese have changed names (Alan Horkan).

Mahjongg:
- Display the current game in the title-bar.

Tali:
- The phrase "Yahtzee" has been replaced with "5 of a kind". It doesn't sound as sexy, but it is more obvious what it means and it isn't a trademark (rah, callum).

Plus lots of bug fixes, code cleanups, api modernisation, and -of course- the tireless work of the translation team.
