Christian GNOME Nettool 0.99.3GNOME Nettool 0.99.3 has been released GNOME Nettool is a network information tool which provides user interfaces for some of the most common command line network tools, like ping, whois, traceroute, etc. It was originally based on Mac OS X's network information tool, but has since then improved over so much that it now clearly exceeds Mac OS X's tool with more features and a better UI. Version 0.99.3 is feature complete, and will be released as 1.0 after some testing period. Changes since 0.99.2

What's changed ?This release features a number of bug fixes, and also the disabling of the focus-stealing-prevention code (hard code freeze for Gnome is supposed to be tomorrow, so it's too late to fix the remaining issues; especially since it requires several patches to modules other than Metacity). Thanks to Havoc Pennington, Soeren Sandmann, Elijah Newren, and Rich Wareham for fixes in this release. Fixes
Where can I get it ?Source code: P.S. Apparently people in the past have thought I was the maintainer when I released software. Since releases take a while, volunteering to make them for the maintainer can reduce their load. I'm merely trying to help out by doing that. I am not the maintainer. gnome-applets 2.7.3GNOME Applets are the little programs you run in your panel. Just about everyone uses a GNOME Applet or two, the package includes applets like the battery applet, CPU load applet, weather applet and mixer applet.

Thanks to everyone who contributed (especially anyone I forgot to name). GNOME Applets is now is code freeze until the branch for 2.9. This means that only release critical bugs will be fixed. Please check for duplicates before filing bugs, but don't simply assume that someone else has filed it. Translators and documenters should be aware that they may of course continue working on GNOME Applets, and are uneffected by the freeze. http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-applets/2.7/ Gaphor 0.5.1Gaphor 0.5.1 Gaphor is an easy to use UML modeling environment written in Python.
