Hello,

Hello shared library lovers,

Gnome libs 1.0.2 is now available for download.

The site is the same:

ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-libs

What is new on this release:

  • Improved gnome-bug script
  • libgnome changes:
    • SIGPIPE reset to default value in gnome_exec, this does the
      proper thing for various GNOME applications that start other
      programs.

      People have been reporting problems with gzip, this fixes
      it.

    • Raja improved the gnome_dirrelavtive_file routine.
  • libgnomeui changes:
    • Documentation updates for the Canvas. It should be fully API
      documented now (with the exceptions of the object arguments, which
      needs to be done in a different framework) (Federico).
    • IconList passes events for double and tripple clicks to
      applications (George).
    • We now use mime-type routines for finding out image types
      instead of the older method (George).
    • IconList should behave properly for people with
      wheel-mouses.
    • ColorPicker fixed for some corner conditions (Jaka).
  • Zvt changes:
    • Shift-Insert will trigger a paste (for compatibility with
      Xterm).
    • SIGPIPE will be set to SGI_DFL on the child after fork.
