Dear users of both large and small computing tools,

A new stable release of Guikachu is available.

About Guikachu

Catch it all from http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/

Features

• Uses GNOME-VFS, you can load files from anywhere, e.g. from the Web, from an SMB share, from a tarball.
• Exporting to/importing from PilRC .rcp files
• Support for non-Palm PilRC targets (like the eBookMan)
• Support for the following PalmOS resource types:
  • String and string list resources
  • Dialog resources
  • Menu resources
  • Form resources
  • Bitmap resources
  • Per-application resources (e.g. version number)
• WYSIWYG Form Editor, with drag & drop capability and visual resizing
• Flexible, complete undo support
• Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
• Documentation (a complete user's manual)

About these releases

• Fixed crashes at startup when using certain locales
• Some fixes in the Undo system
• Pop up context menus from keyboard
• New Brazilian Portugese translation

Guikachu uses GTKmm and GNOMEmm for its user interface. I/O is implemented via GNOME-VFS, the XML storage format is managed with the libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via libglade. GConf is used to store user preferences. You will need the versions of these packages available in the GNOME 1.4 bundle (with the exception of GNOMEmm which you will need to upgrade to the recently released version 1.2.4). The ImageMagick library is used for managing bitmap resources. To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also need PilRC (part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files produced by Guikachu.

Beware of bug&etilde;mons!

gcalctool 4.4.8

Application

gcalctool

Description

gcalctool is the default GNOME desktop calculator.

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

This release is because I haven't done one since the GNOME 2.6 FINAL call for tarballs.

[Note that gcalctool now requires the Gtk+ that comes with GNOME 2.6 or later in order to build].

Changes since the last version (4.3.51).

• Adjusted the creation of the menubar and Accuracy and Left/Right shift menus from GtkItemFactory to GtkUIManager.

  With this change, the -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED flag can now be added back into .../gcalctool/gcalctool/Makefile.am.

• Added "gu" (Gujarati) to ALL_LINGUAS.
• Added "tk" to ALL_LINGUAS.
• Fixed bug #142824. gcalctool now correctly recognizes the localized decimal point character by explicitly checking to see if the keyboard event keyval matches what's returned by localeconv()->decimal_point.
• Fixed bug #129397. Use GtkIconTheme to load gcalctool icon instead of built-in image.
• Fixed bug #142888. gcalctool is now connected to the "die" signal so that it can be successfully terminated when removed from gnome-session-properties.
• The "Bsp" (Backspace) button has been relabeled "Bksp" to make it more understandable. The gcalctool man pages have been updated to reflect this change. The online help will be updated at GNOME 2.8 release time (see bug #138367).
• Replacement of #include for malloc.h with stdlib.h for Darwin.
• Fixed bug #134376. Adjustements to allow screen readers to better handle single numeric input.
• Fixed bug #138106. If the "Error" message is being displayed, it is now no longer incorrectly displayed as "Er,ror" if the "Show Thousands Separator" is on.
• Fixed bug #135068. Adjusted several default constant descriptions to be more understandable.
• Fixed bug #135065. Tooltips for OR, AND, NOT, XOR and XNOR have been changed from "Logical <whatever>" to "Bitwise <whatever>".
• Fixed bug #136872. gcalctool can now be built with "CFLAGS=-fdata-sections".
