Development, Stable GNOME Desktops Released

GNOME Development Release 2.5.0:
“Obviously you’re not a golfer”

The GNOME Development Release 2.5.0: “Obviously you’re not a
golfer”, is ready for your bug-busting and testing pleasure! It is
available for immediate download on ftp ftp.gnome.org and mirrors:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.5/2.5.0/sources/

tar.gz: 125M total
tar.bz2: 90M total

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is
buildable and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and
hacking purposes. Like the Linux kernel, GNOME uses odd minor
version numbers to indicate development status. Please check the
2.5 start page for more information:

http://www.gnome.org/start/2.5/

Proposed Modules

A number of new software modules have been PROPOSED for
inclusion in the next major GNOME release. You can find a list of
these modules on the 2.5 modules list page:

http://www.gnome.org/start/2.5/modules/

Build Requirements

• The tarballs included in the release. 🙂
• Some very basic packages not distributed with this release,
  such as image libraries, popt, and the freedesktop.org libraries
  collection. These should all be included with or available for your
  distribution.
• Docbook DTD 4.1.2, Docbook XSL stylesheets and a valid system
  catalogue file for scrollkeeper (which in turn is required by many
  desktop components for documentation).

Happy testing!

• The GNOME Release Team

GNOME Desktop 2.4.1 “Better late than never”

As most of you have realized we did a silent 2.4.1 release some
time back. I just wanted to get the release notes out so that we
have some clue as to what changed between 2.4.0 and 2.4.1. It
probably makes it easier to see what is new for the next release
too 🙂

This is a quick collection of fixes, the gory details are in the
respective modules’ ChangeLogs.

Cheers
Kjartan Maraas

GAIL (2.4.0 -> 2.4.1)

Overview of Changes in GAIL 1.4.1

• Set role for accessible object for GtkMessageDialog to
  ATK_ROLE_ALERT (bug #122551)
  • Apply build fixes for Darwin (bug #1243343) [Jerry
    Talkington]
  • Correct text length reported in text-changed signals emitted

    #120303)
  • Report label change only if toplevel window is showing. (bug
    #123470)

gcalctool (4.3.3 -> 4.3.16)

• Fixed bug 124377. Fixed rounding errors when the radix
  character for a locale isn’t “.”.
• Online help updated for various recent (small) changes.
• Fixed bug 124172. The “+” character on a German keyboard is on
  the lower level of a key (i.e. the Shift key doesn’t need to be
  down). Added another mask/keysym pair to the “+” entry to handle
  this.
• Fixed bug 120737. Changed the accessible text for the OR button
  from “Logical OR” to “logical OR” so that it’s not changed by
  FreeTTS’s
• Fixed bug #123948. Removed the GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED flag from
  …/gcalctool/gcalctool/Makefile.am, to allow the depreciated
  GtkItemFactory, to successfully build.
• Fixed bug 123724. Hitting Esc now does the same as hitting
  Control-Backspace; i.e. the CE (clear entry) functionality.
• Updated the gcalctool man pages to reflect this change, and the
  changes for bug #118826.
• Refixed bug 122373. gcalctool now uses nl_langinfo() to get the
  numeric point for the users locale, rather than via a localised
  string.
• Fixed enhancement #65806. Changed that label for e^x (e
  superscript x) to use an italised “e”.
• Fixed bug 118826. The keyboard shortcuts for the six hex.
  digits are now “A” to “F”. The functions that previously used those
  letters have been reassigned to their lowercase equivalents.
• Fixed bug 122408. The tooltips for the numeric buttons (0-9)
  have been removed as they are redundant.
• Fixed bug 120749. When gcalctool is displaying a menu, typing
  Alt+Tab can no longer switch windows.
• Fixed bug 120745 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120745)
  Accessible names have now been added to each of the widgets in the
  mode panel when in Scientific mode.
• Fixed bug 122373. The decimal separator is now a translatable
  string so that other locales that don’t use a period can adjust
  accordingly.
• Fixed bug 120605. Gcalctool debug messages are no longer
  translatable strings.

GDM

2.4.4.5 stuff:

• Brown paper security bag: ~/.Xauthority could be left readable
  after logout
• gecos info (face browser user name) didn’t get through if
  non-utf8 (Frederic Crozat) (fixes mandrake #5309)
• Translation updates (another brown paper bag, these went in
  over the last month) (Kjartan Maraas, Andras Timar, Danilo Segan,
  Ales Nyakhaychyk, Asmund Skjaeveland, Gustavo Maciel Dias Vieira,
  Augusta Marques da Silva, Richard Allen)

2.4.4.4 stuff:

• SECURITY: Fixed CAN-2003-0793, a local DoS, the socket
  connection is now non-blocking and limitted to the number of
  commands
• SECURITY: Fixed CAN-2003-0794, a local DoS, the line length is
  limited to 4096 bytes (note, this was not a buffer overrun).

  (Thanks to Jarno Gassenbauer for pointing out the above two
  problems)

• Avoid possible DoS by using “-audit 0” for the X server command
  line
  • When cookies are in the fallback dir touch them every 12 hours
    to avoid tmpwatch from removing them
  • Add config key NeverPlaceCookiesOnNFS to allow cookie files on
    NFS or similar filesystems
  • Graphical greeter now graphically complains if it can’t load a
    theme rather then plainly failing.
  • Go shell quoting crazy (fixes among others rh #105858, but none
    of the issues were actually security problems, “annoying” on really
    weird configs at most)
  • Some more anality with touching user owned files
  • Fixed the graphical greeter line breaking to not upset pango
    and generally work with marked up strings
  • Fix an underlining bug in the graphical greeter when the
    underlined letter is the last letter. (discussed in rh
    #106189)
  • Minor other fixes (among others #123958, #124680)

2.4.4.3 stuff:

• The graphical greeter now wraps text correctly (and all text).
  Plus you can insert n in the welcome text now too (it worked for
  gdmlogin before) Fixes #123017
• The entry type in the graphical greeter listens to font and
  color from the normal state (it only has the normal state) (Anton
  Altaparmakov, me)
• Tweak fontsizes in the default themes to be smaller. For some
  reason they very suddenly very huge.
• Further memory savings in the graphical greeter (though it may
  be offset by the new wrapping code which is quite large 🙂
• Another security audit, but no new security holes found, on the
  other hand lots of code changed to being super-anal (which is never
  bad in something running as root)
• Lots of random fixes again

2.4.4.2 stuff:

• Fix the session setup to be both back-compatible and fully KDM
  (kde 3.2) compatible, among others:
  • SessionDesktopDir is now a path
  • Change ‘Default’ to ‘default’
  • Honour TryExec correctly
  • Other then ‘default’, the gnome and CDE sessions are now
    installed in /usr/share/xsessions (if prefix==/usr)
• Support SELinux
• Fix the ‘switchdesk’ mode and mention ‘switchdesk’ only if it’s
  actually installed (rh #104287)
• Use the a11y modules for the chooser as well as the error
  dialogs
• Lots of dwellmouselistener and keymouselistener a11y modules
  fixing, as in they actually work now, among other fixes are
  #122944, #122658, #122616
• Default gestures for gok (David Bolter, me)
• Lots of small fixes
• Error dialogs are now crashing theme/module tolerant
• Load ~/.face.icon for kde 3.2 interoperability
• Clean up the random stuff again a bit (we get more entropy for
  less work, yay!)
• Documentation updates
• Translation updates (Alessio Frusciante, Francesco Marletta,
  Changwoo Ryu)

2.4.4.1 stuff:

• Update the manual a bit
• Some internal cleanup
  • Be ultra anal with creating the user protocol socket
  • Don’t fall back to ‘nobody’ if the gdm user is not found (that
    is a horrible behaviour)
  • Support and write KDM style .dmrc (KDM will use this in the
    next version). Still KDM will use /etc/X11/sessions, and we’re
    using /etc/X11/dm/Sessions, oh well, life can’t be perfect, next
    time …
  • Translation updates (Andras Timar, Pablo Saratxaga, Vincent van
    Adrighem, Guntupalli Karunakar, Pablo Gonzalo del Campo, Francisco

    Masatoshi, Gustavo Noronha Silva, Hasbullah Bin Pit, Christian
    Neumair)

gedit (2.4.0 -> 2.4.1)

• shell_output/shell_output.c (handle_command_output): on some
  systems EOF is indicating by G_IO_IN and a zero-length read, and

  <<A
  HREF=”mailto:Laurent.Vivier@bull.net”>Laurent.Vivier@bull.net>)
  • shell_output/shell_output.c (handle_command_output): handle the
    ‘pos’ return value from g_io_channel_read_line() correctly (fixes

    HREF=”mailto:otaylor@redhat.com”>otaylor@redhat.com>)
• time/time.c (help_button_pressed): Pass correct section-id for
