GARNOME 2.12.0.1 has been released:

Originally, this was supposed to be released a week after the original 2.12.0 release, but pushing it back a week allowed the development team to catch some additional bugs in some non-linux platforms that also deserved fixing.

2.12.0.1 is an interim release over the original, designed to fix bugs and allow applications that were released after the upstream GNOME release to be included.

gtkmm and glibmm 2.8 are now available

gtkmm 2.8 wraps new API in GTK+ 2.8, and is API/ABI-compatibile with gtkmm 2.6 and gtkmm 2.4. It is a version of the gtkmm-2.4 API.

gtkmm stays in-sync with GTK+ by following the official GNOME release schedule: http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/

Bindings for the rest of the GNOME Platform are also available, and are also API-stable.

The first version of rawthumb 0.1, a Gnome Thumbnailer for the digital camera RAW files supported by dcraw, has been released

In its current state, it can produce thumbnails in Nautilus for the
MInolta RAW files (.mrw). Mime types for a few other camera makers (Canon, Nikon, Olympus, ... ) are defined but not tested.

The sources can be found here:

http://www.chauveau-central.net/rawthumb/

The thumbnailer is composed of 2 packages:
- raw-image-mime provides the MIME types for the RAW files.
- rawthumb-gnome installs the thumbnailer scripts.

I do not have any configure scripts yet but the installation should be quite simple. See the README.txt file in each package.

GARNOME 2.12.0 has been released:

Incorporating the GNOME 2.12.0 Desktop and Developer Platform, together with a host of third-party GNOME packages, Bindings and the Mono(tm) Platform -- this release truly is the best performing release we've ever had.

The changes between 2.10 and 2.12 are massive -- the GNOME Release Notes on http://www.gnome.org will give you the full rundown, but in a nutshell.

* DBus and HAL are now being used to power GNOME 'under the hood'.
* glib/gtk+ 2.8.x with cairo 1.0 makes GNOME look 'better than ever'.
* Improvements to Nautilus to make your files more accessible than ever before.
* Hundreds of fixes and performance improvements across the entire desktop.

In short, if you're not running GNOME 2.12.0, you should be -- and GARNOME gives you the perfect excuse to jump right in, all without affecting your existing system.

It should be noted that GARNOME wouldn't be possible without the dedicated band of testers that have continued to support the project -- thanks to everyone who has contributed patches, bug reports or comments during the last release phase -- your support has been invaluable.
