Subject: Nautilus 0.5 and Eazel Web Services Sneak Preview
released
Nautilus version 0.5, “Preview Release 2” is here. At the same
time, Eazel is releasing the first “Sneak Preview” of our Web
services.
Nautilus is a desktop environment for GNOME that provides users
of all experience levels a powerful way to access files,
applications, media, Internet-based services, and the Web.
The Sneak Preview of Eazel’s Web services includes an online
storage that looks and feels like part of your desktop environment
and a catalog of software with several preview applications
installable through Nautilus with one click.
You can get the Nautilus packages and register for Eazel
Services at:
NOTE: The machine at this address was changed today. Most people
will see the new web site. But if you instead see a “Coming Later
Today” message you have to wait for DNS to update. Everyone should
see the new site by 7 PM PST.
In addition, the source code for Nautilus is available alongside
the other GNOME packages at:
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/nautilus
Information about packages required to build Nautilus is in the
README.
Thanks to the many people who sent us suggestions and fixes
after our first preview release of Nautilus and to those who have
contributed to the project so far.
The web site at http://nautilus.eazel.com contains
information about contributing to the Nautilus project, including
pointers to our mailing lists, and information about helping with
testing.
Thank you on behalf of the whole Nautilus team for checking out
Preview Release 2 of Nautilus and on behalf of all the people at
Eazel for checking out our Web Services Sneak Preview.
