Epiphany 0.5.0
Hi, * What is it ? ============== Epiphany is a GNOME web browser based on the mozilla rendering engine. The name meaning: "An intuitive grasp of reality through something (as an event) usually simple and striking" You can find more info about the project goals at: http://epiphany.mozdev.org * What's changed ? ================== ============== Epiphany 0.5.0 ============== Code changes * Port to EggMenu API * Make GaleonShell subclass GaleonEmbedShell. Now also embed services like downloader are able to reference it. (Marco) * Use mozilla prompts dialogs implementation. (This means you will see XUL dialogs with older mozilla versions) (Marco) * Fix embed persist lifetime issues to avoid leaks (Marco) * Reimplement ephy-state using xml (Marco) * Add to EphyNode the ability to specifiy reserved id for nodes, useful for toplevel nodes (Marco) * Rework drag and drop api to deal with more than the urls types (Marco) * Autoupdate EggX. Use the toolbar editor stuff from libegg.(Marco) * Use the latest suggested way to initialize mozilla services. (Marco, from galeon) New features * Ability to drag bookmarks, smart bookmarks and topics to the toolbar (Marco) * Optional Go button (Dave Bordoley) * Help support (Patanjali Somayaji) Interface improvements * Site icons in topics menus (Johan Dahlin) * Site icons on tabs (Christian Persch) * Set icons for History, Find, Bookmarks, Preferences dialogs (Dave Bordoley) * Bookmarks editor redesign: better interface to assign multiple topics, better editor interface using a toplevel window with a menubar, file manager like editing capabilities, ability to open the editor independently, "most used" special topic. They certainly need love, but I think we have a good direction now. (Marco, Dave Bordoley, Xan Lopez) * Properly save maximized/unmaximized state of the main window (Marco) * Remove spinner configuration and default to Gnome spinner, this should be part of gnome icon theme at some point. (Marco) * Remove bookmarks with delete key (Xan Lopez) * Alphabetical sort of topics and bookmarks in the editor (Xan Lopez) * Remove tab autocompletion to avoid accessibility issues (Marco) * Focus the location entry when opening a new window and do not put the url in it, so the user can more easily insert the location he wants to load. Try to not disturb the user when he is editing the url with focus removals. All these works more or less well depending on mozilla versions :/ (Marco) * Make the start-here: page use the theme colors.(James Willcox) * Tab load notification, using an animated image (James Willcox) * Several improvements to the main menubar layout and labels (Dave Bordoley) * Add "Go to" button to the history (Xan Lopez) * Have just one Close menu item and make it behave like other gnome apps, closing document by document (Marco) * More clear buttons labels on resume dialog (Lee Willis) * Make the bookmarks editor remember the last selected keyword (James Willcox) * Spinner is no more a button, like in Nautilus (Marco) * Ability to import galeon and konqueror bookmarks (James Willcox) * Use the title instead of url in Back/Forward history and in the history dialog (Marco) * Use favorites icons in bookmarks (Marco) * More usable toolbar editor based on drag and drop (Marco) * Enable startup feedback (Marco) * Disable annoying security dialogs (Marco) Bugfixes * fix incorrect figures on small files downloads (Rob Clews) * do not leak the history xml every 5 minutes (Lee Willis) * Error handling in Mozilla bookmarks import (Xan Lopez) * Make nautilus view actually work (Marco) * Fix session saving (Lee Willis) * Fix casting on big-endian. Context menus are now working on PPC (from Galeon) * Compile fix for gcc 2.95 (Dan Damian) * Properly autocomplete when topics have national characters (Xan Lopez) * Use default widget color for smart bookmarks background (Dan Damian) Translations * am (Daniel Yacob) * ca (Pablo Saratxaga) * da (Ole Laursen) * de (Christian Neumair) * el (Kostas Papadimas) * es (Javier Fernandez) * fr (Christophe Fergeau, Laurent Richard) * ja (Takayuki KUSANO) * ko (Kang Jeong-Hee) * no (Kjartan Maraas) * nl (Vincent van Adrighem) * pl (Zbigniew Chyla), * pt (Duarte Loreto) * pt_BR (Evandro Fernandes Giovanini) * ru (Dmitry G.

GNet 2.0.0
GNet is a simple network library. It is written in C, object-oriented, and built upon GLib (1.2 or 2.0). It is licensed under the GNU LGPL. GNet 2.0.0 is the first stable release based on the 1.3 development series. GNet 2.0 includes IPv6 support, improved gconn/gserver objects, Base64 encoding and decoding, and many other small improvements and fixes. The GNet homepage is <<A HREF="http://www.gnetlibrary.org>">http://www.gnetlibrary.org>;. The official IRC channel is #gnet on irc.gnome.org/. Tarball available. The Windows port is not ready yet. Andy Lanoix is working on the port [1]. New in GNet 2.0 (versus 1.2) * IPv6 support * Improved high-level TCP connection and server objects * Base64 encoding and decoding * And many other small improvements and fixes... [1] Andy asked me to note that IPv6 support in Windows is still relatively new and has issues. It may be several weeks before the first release of the Windows port is ready. _____________________________________________
Alleyoop
This past week I've been spending a few hours a night hacking on a front-end for Valgrind (a memory debugger for Linux x86: http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/ ), called Alleyoop. I haven't felt it was too ready for public consumption until tonight. A screenshot of the main UI can be found at: http://primates.ximian.com/~fejj/alleyoop.png You can download the src package at: http://primates.ximian.com/~fejj/alleyoop-0.6.0.tar.gz Since it is likely non-obvious how to get src-preview loading to work, let me try to explain it here: Since alleyoop's symtab code is a bit broken with reguards to resolving debug symbols (in order to get the full path names for the src files), I have implemented both command-line arguments and a shell environment variable in which you can give alleyoop hints as to where to look for them. ALLEYOOP_INCLUDE_PATH like LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH, you can set a : delimited list of path names that alleyoop can use to find src files that you'd be interested in viewing a src preview for (and/or so you can have alleyoop launch an editor on the src file). -I, --include these are command-line argument which you can use when launching alleyoop in order to provide the same hints. You can pass as many of these arguments as you like. Note: paths passed to alleyoop with -I or --include are scanned first, before those listed in the ALLEYOOP_INCLUDE_PATH environment when looking for a src file, so if there is a "main.c" src file that you are most interested in being able to view, list that as the first -I argument to alleyoop. (TODO: eliminate duplicate paths between the command-line and env?) Known Bugs ---------- - The symbol table code needs work (please just use the workarounds mentioned above) - the menus don't have accel's - cut/copy/paste don't work (ideas on what these should do might be helpful) - the suppressions viewer/editor are not HIG compliant (or at least I doubt they are) - the editor setting in the prefs dialog is not used yet (should I create a new menu item for this one? or should I eliminate the current editors I have listed and just have a single menu item for launching an editor and have it use the one specified in the settings?) - the search widget doesn't work Jeff -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Ximian, Inc. fejj@ximian.com - www.ximian.com _____________________________________________
SquirrelFax 0.9
The last release before 1.0. Still considered , SquirrelFax is pretty stable (for me at least). SquirrelFax is yet another fax frontend, with support for Hylafax and sendfax+mgetty. SquirrelFax offers a GUI for viewing and managing sent and received faxes, and offers a user interface to the settings of your fax agent. Almost all options of sendfax+mgetty are supported, while the most important features of Hylafax are supported as well. The program also supports starting and stopping the services for sending and receiving faxes. When installing SquirrelFax, you can have it set up a printer for OpenOffice.org, to send out faxes as if it is a far-away printer. To make faxing easy, you can select fax numbers from your Gnomecard and Evolution addressbooks. You can furthermore use SquirrelFax from the command line to send out faxes, it then also supports sending multiple pdf and ps files as a single fax to one or more recipients. New features since 0.7 (0.8 is skipped): - support for multicasting of faxes: select multiple phone numbers. - read multicast fax numbers from text file (comma, space, tab, CR seperated). - read one or several phone numbers from the command line. - tooltips on all buttons - help implemented There remain several issues with the Gnome environment to be solved (such as buttons made with Glade which do not show up during runtime) however this does not hamper functionality too much. Try it for yourself, and please send me all your comments/bugreports/etc. Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/squirrelfax/ Regards, Wouter van Marle _____________________________________________
ggv 2.0.0
Hello, folks, here's the long overdue GGV 2.0: What's new since 1.99.98? On the coding front the prefs dialog has been higgified, page wrapping is done only on space and backspace as it should be, not on arrow keys, handling of commandline arguments has been fixed, a nasty bug that occasionaly caused ggv to go into a never-ending loop when doing auto-fitting of the page is now gone, ggv now warns when overwriting an empty file, a few typos have been fixed and the locale bug with GS is now (again) gone - GGV should no longer render blank pages when you set a locale different from C. Irene was kind enough to supply us with a new set of documentation from Sun. The autoconf stuff has also been updated to use the GConf2 AM macros instead of my own home-brewed m4 stuff. And, last but not least, GGV is more translated to any obscure language of your choice than it ever was. New and updated translations include: Turkish (Fatih, Arman), Czech (Miloslav), Japanese (Takeshi), Kannada (Pramod) [what exactly is this?], Belarusian (Dmitry & Belarusian Team), Indonesian (Mohammad), Estonian (Toivo), Dutch (Vincent), Hindi (Naba & Gnome Hindi Team), Farsi (Rozobeh), Hebrew (Gil), Azerbaijani (Metin), Malayalam (FSF-India), Gaelic (Paul). Now, where do I get this wondrous application? At http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ggv/2.0 have fun, jaKa _____________________________________________
