* Do not crash on entity declarations (Lauris)
* Implemented almost full viewport support in <svg> (Lauris)

GTetrinet 0.6.2
Description
===========
GTetrinet is a Tetrinet client for GNOME2. Tetrinet is a variant of the
popular Tetris brick game, that can be played simultaneously by 6 players.
GTetrinet's goal is to remain completely compatible with the Windows,
original client.
Notes
=====
"Embarrassing" describes 0.6.1 quite well. Basically, it wouldn't
compile.
Fixes
=====
- If anyone hasn't noticed yet, we just kick ass.
- | testing
| n 1: the act of subjecting to experimental test in order to
| determine how well something works; "they agreed to end
| the testing of atomic weapons"
- Fixed parse error. This version even compiles.

orbitcpp 1.3.4
*** 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 GNOME 2.2.
orbitcpp is based on the old ORBit/C++ project for ORBit 1.
For more information:
http://orbitcpp.sourceforge.net
*** Changes
1.3.4:
* Fixed #104528, correcting a "CORBA::Object::Object"
to "CORBA::Object".
* Fixed #101809, removing use of "using" keyword,
so it now builds with gcc 2.9*.
* Some improved supports for Union types.
(Gergo Erdi)
*** Download:
You can download it from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/orbitcpp/
or the 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

The libgnome*mm libraries wrap the GNOME2 libraries for C++, for use
with gtkmm2. They are collectively known as gnomemm. You will need the
latest gtkmm2 release.

* Build fixed - the $SED problem should be gone.
libgnomemm 1.3.10:

You will also need the lastest orbitcpp 1.3.x:
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/orbitcpp/
*** Installation:
The gnomemm libraries should be built and installed in this order:
libgnomemm, gconfmm, libgnomecanvasmm, libglademm, libbonobomm, libbonbouimm, libgnomeuimm.

pygtk-1.99.15 pyorbit-1.99.3 gnome-python-1.99.15
General
=======
We expect this to be last unstable release before 2.0.
For next release, we are going to concentrate on documentation and
bug fixes.
Highlights of news in PyGTK 1.99.15
===================================
Distutils
It's now possible to build PyGtk and gnome-python using python
distutils. It has not been tested extensively yet (as the autoconf
version) but it should work on most systems. If it does not work
for you, please report a bug and try the autoconf configure script.
To build and install, simply type:
./setup.py install
Alternatively you can specify a prefix (/usr is usually default):
./setup.py install --prefix /usr/local
If you want to build with threading support, add
the --enable-threading option to the command line.
This eliminates the need of autoconf,automake,libtool and make
for developers and people who want to build from CVS.
libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui
Thanks to Gustavo Carneiro there is now more or less complete(!)
libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui bindings.
libgnomeprint(ui) 2.1.6 or higher is required (from gnome 2.2)
GMainLoop/GMainContext
It's now possible to run the GMainLoop without importing gtk.
This is very useful for projects that only uses input_add,
timeout_add or idle_add.
Threading
A lot of work has been gone into improving and testing
threading support in PyGTK. It should now be possible to use
threads in most situations. There are a few limitations however,
For instance, the mainloop will always be run in the main thread.
Where to get it?
================
PyGTK, PyORBit and gnome-python can be downloaded from:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/1.99/http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-python/1.99/
