Release Digest: GNOME, January 7, 2003 Jan 8, 2003, 05 :00 UTC (0 Talkback[s]) (2851 reads)
GHex 2.0.0 and 2.2.0
the "Bobby Brown" and "Sheik Yerbouti" releases, respectively
not much new these days - I considered 1.99.90 a healthy, stable
application, applied a fix from padraig o'briain that renders ghex
accessible again, enabled pasting of primary selection and also mended a
few minor scratches in the otherwise fine high-shine skin of your
beloved binary editor... so here it is - ghex 2.0.0 that goes with your
GNOME 2.0 desktop perfectly.
and how about 2.2.0? well, it is very much like the 2.0.0, only patched
to cooperate with your libgnomeprint(ui) 2.2 included with the upcoming
GNOME 2.2. patches were kindly contributed by frederic crozat of
mandrake.
update from the linguistic front: updated nl (tino) and am (daniel)
translations.
where are these fine, zapping releases?
for Bobby Brown, go to
http://ftp.gnome.org/ftp/pub/GNOME/sources/ghex/2.0/
and for Sheik Yerbouti, visit
http://ftp.gnome.org/ftp/pub/GNOME/sources/ghex/2.2/
have fun,

gtkmm 2.2.0
*** gtkmm 2.2
gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. gtkmm 2.2 wraps GTK+ 2.2
http://www.gtkmm.org.
Like GTK+ 2.2, gtkmm 2.2 contains only API addition, without API or ABI
breakage.
Contrary to the gtkmm 2.0.2 announcement, gtkmm 2.0.2 will not build
with GTK+ 2.1.x, due to minor API breakage in GTK+.
If you installed gtkmm 2.1.0, 2.1.1, or 2.1.2, you MUST do this, to
fix our previous libtool versioning mistake:
rm <prefix>/lib/lib{glib,pango,atk,gdk,gtk}mm-[12].0.so.[345]*
where <prefix> is something like /usr/local or /opt/gnome2.
*** Changes
Changes in gtkmm 2.2:
Highlights:
- New GTK+ 2.2 API wrapped:
* Gtk::ListStore and TreeStore move(), reorder(), iter_is_valid()
methods added.
* Gdk::DisplayManager, Display, and Screen added for multi-head systems,
and various methods that use them.
- Existing API improved:
(We did break API that we were sure was totally unusable)
* atkmm rewritten and usable.
* Gtk::Clipboard rewritten and now usable, with examples and documentation.
* Gtk::TreeView drag-and-drop now usable, with examples, and documentation.
* Gtk::TreeModelSort wrapped.
* Gtk::Toolbar has a non-STL-style interface, like the other containers.
* glibmm: Added string utility functions, get_appname(), file_open_tmp()
and file_open_contents(). Glib::Markup added - this is not a real XML
parser.
* Various bugfixes - see ChangeLog.
The following people made gtkmm 2.2 happen:
Ross Burton

Gary Peck

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1970
*** Development
There is ongoing discussion on the mailing list:
http://www.gtkmm.org/mailinglist.shtml
and in the #c++ channel on irc.gnome.org/

Dr. Genius 0.8.0
Description
===========
The Gnome Interactive Geometry Sofware.
Enhancements
============

toolbar is locked with a password which allow a teacher to block the access
to some tools;
* Various update in the french and english documentations;

orbitcpp 1.3.1
*** orbitcpp
orbitcpp provides a C++ CORBA mapping for ORBit2. It is used by GNOME's
Bonobo C++ bindings, which are part of gnomemm 2.
orbitcpp requires ORBit 2.5, such as that used by the GNOME 2.1.x development
phase, but you can also use these versions safely with GNOME 2.0.x.
orbitcpp is based on the old ORBit/C++ project for ORBit 1.
For more information:
http://orbitcpp.sourceforge.net
*** Changes
* Source code reorganised for clarity.
* Parital CORBA::Any support
(Murray Cumming)
* autogen build fix. (Daniel Elstner)
*** Download:
You can download it from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/orbitcpp/
or the http://download.gnome.org mirrors when they update.
*** Development:
It's in gnome's cvs as the "orbitcpp" module.
Patches should be added to the bugzilla orbit-cpp module, with full
ChangeLog entries.
Discussion should happen on orbitcpp-list@gnome.org
