This is the first installment of a weekly update on the progress
of the GNOME 1.4 "not yet named" release. Work on this release is
progressing rapidly, with the first beta release currently
scheduled for this Saturday (February 17). For package
maintainers:
Maintainers of packages that will be included in this beta
*must* provide tarballs by the end of Thursday. Please mail
gnome-1.4-release-team@gnome.org with information on where to find
the tarball.
Dan will write up instructions on using ScrollKeeper soon. Keep
an eye on the news on the GDP web page for an announcement of these
instructions: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/
GNOME 1.4 will use Nautilus' gnome-db2html2 converter to
display SGML documents. Please make sure that the SGML documents
are being installed in addition to the HTML. Also make sure that
the SGML is compliant with the 1.4 guidelines: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/changes/
Also, don't forget to mail gnome-i18n@gnome.org a couple of
days (which is right now, actually) before making your final
tarball for the beta.
Don't worry if everything isn't done by the first beta :)
For testers:
The GNOME 1.4 beta process will include a list of tests for
many of the applications. This will be made available later this
week, and more information about this will be made at that
time.
That's all for now; more information about the release will be
available later this week. Thanks,
The GNOME 1.4 Release Team gnome-1.4-release-team@gnome.org
