Monster Masher 1.5.1
Hi,
A translation-update-and-bug-fix release. More translations than
bug fixes, though.
What’s new:
- Fixed a sneaky compilation bug that was only reported by a very
recent GCC. - Fixed the preferences window so that the game shouldn’t kill
itself even if the GConf .schemas aren’t installed. - New and updated translations by Adam Weinberger, Gareth Owen,
Alastair McKinstry, Robert Sedak, Mikel Olasagasti and I.
Larrañaga, Riccardo Bozzo, Franz Gustav Niederheitmann, The
GNOME PL Team, Michiel Sikkes and Kees van den Broek, Christian
Rose, Miloslav Trmac, Christian Neumair, Francisco Javier F.
Serrador, Kjartan Maraas, Tomas Kuliavas.
About Monster Masher:
In the old days, before man entered the world, the gnomes were
abundant. Through centuries of hard labour, only slightly eased by
the levitational powers provided to them by their god, they bored
out shafts and caves in the mountains. Always seeking the precious
stones and valuable ore…
Monster Masher is a GPL’ed mash’em-up action game for GNOME.
Each level contains a number of blocks and monsters. You’re a
little gnome running around. By pushing the blocks you can mash the
monsters one at a time. There are various power-ups and different
kinds of monsters.
http://www.cs.auc.dk/~olau/monster-masher/
http://www.cs.auc.dk/~olau/monster-masher/screenshots.html
The requirements are Gnome 2.2 (or later) and the gtkmm and
gnomemm-all libraries (note that you still need version 2.2, not
2.4) from www.gtkmm.org/.
PS: Unfortunately, all those superb graphics artists out there
are hiding themselves from me. So the inevitable happened: I’m
working on a start screen background myself. But it’ll have to wait
till next release.

PyGTK 2.3.91
I am pleased to announce version 2.3.91 of the Python bindings
for GTK.
The new release is available from ftp ftp.gnome.org as and its mirrors as soon
as its synced correctly:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/2.3/pygtk-2.3.91.tar.gz
It might take a while, so you can use current CVS for now if you
can’t wait.
NOTE! This is an unstable version and should not be
included
in stable distributions.
GTK is a toolkit for developing graphical applications that run
on POSIX systems such as Linux, Windows and MacOS X (provided that
the X server for MacOS X has been installed). It provides a
comprehensive set of GUI widgets, can display Unicode bidi text. It
links into the Gnome Accessibility Framework through the ATK
library.
PyGTK provides a convenient wrapper for the GTK library for use
in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details
such as managing memory and type casting. When combined with
PyORBit and gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured
Gnome applications.
Like the GTK library itself PyGTK is licensed under the GNU
LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary
applications. It is already in use in many applications ranging
from small single purpose scripts up to large full features
applications.
PyGTK now requires GTK >= 2.4 and Python >= 2.2 to
build.
It includes a number of changes since the last pygtk release;
We’d really appreciate testing and bug reports on this release;
please take the time out to download and test it to ensure it works
for your application[s]. Bug reports, as always, should go to
Bugzilla; check out http://pygtk.org/developer.html
and http://pygtk.org/feedback.html
for links to posting and querying bug reports for PyGTK.
What’s new since 2.3.90?
Continue to wrap 2.4 api: GtkActionGroup, GtkColorButton,
GtkCellLayout, GtkComboBox, GtkFileChooser, GtkFontButton,
GtkIconInfo, Gtk*ToolButton (John Finlay, Johan)
ref GdkWindows on win32 (John Ehresman, Gustavo)
Clean up defs (John)
Deprecate 0.6.x compatibility functions (Johan)
Convert GValueArray to list, not tuple (Gustavo)
Add new demos (Joey Tsai)
Create unknown types on the fly, with interfaces (Johan)
Update spec (Jason Tackaberry, Thomas Vander Stichele)
Support tp_new (Johan)

gconf-editor 2.6.1
gconf-editor “Una Ballata del mar salato” 2.6.1 is out!
This is a stable release for GNOME 2.6.1. Only bug fixes (but
important bugs!) and translation additions in this release. The
funny stuff will be on cvs HEAD and 2.7.x releases.
Changes:
- Fixes:
- Don’t escape keys (Bugs #135807 and #136400)
- Fix a crashing bug in the unref code (Bugs #124662 and
#136631) - Fix the cell editor for float values (Bug #137468)
- Fix a crash when launching gconf-editor with an invalid key
path (Bug #136381) - Allow the notebook in the key editor to fill and expand. (Fix
#138557)
- Translations:
- Added Basque translation (I. Larrañaga)
- Added Gujarati translation (Guntupalli Karunakar)
Notice that gconf-editor is now maintained by Corto Maltese, but
as he usually doesn’t answer his email, and he is doing long trips
and taking part in amazing adventures (sometimes funnier than
hacking on GNOME) I am taking the boring part of commiting patches
and making releases. So, if you want to give some love to
gconf-editor, send patches or any other issue, please contact me
and I’ll try to do my best.

About “Una Ballata del mar
salato”:
Haven’t you read this first Corto Maltese album? Oh man! Stop
coding on GNOME! stop downloading p*rn! stop your conspiracy plans!
and run to your nearest comic/book shop!

Rhythmbox 0.8.0
Hi,
Rhythmbox 0.8.0 is now available:
http://rhythmbox.sf.net/download.html
http://web.rhythmbox.org/download.html
If I had to summarize the development since 0.6, I would say
it’s just like Rhythmbox, only better 🙂 From stuff like Ogg
support for internet radio, ReplayGain support, and automatic
playlists based on rating, what we’ve done is just generally try to
flesh everything out. We are also showcasing GStreamer’s cool
features like metadata reading.
However, we are set for some major changes in 0.9 (working to
1.0).=20 File monitoring is already done, we have work going on for
a SQLite backend, there’s code to implement an Icecast source, and
with software like HAL, the (still experimental) iPod support
should start shaping up. And with luck we’ll get metadata writing
via GStreamer done 🙂
Here are the changes since 0.7.2:
Overview of Changes in Rhythmbox 0.8.0
- Fix playlist saving [Colin Walters]
- Memory leak fixes [Benjamin Otte]
- Ignore .Trash directories [Jonathan Blandford]
- Add audio/x-mod to known music types [Colin Walters]
- Several drag and drop fixes [Colin Walters]
- Fix usage of GtkFileSelection [Colin Walters]
- Revert back to using “Music Player” as Name [Colin
Walters] - Add code to guard against some GConf errors [Colin
Walters] - Display error on missing help files [Colin Walters]
- Some station properties dialog UI tweaks [Colin Walters]
- Remove quality column for now, it doesn’t work [Colin
Walters] - Require GStreamer 0.8 [Colin Walters]
- Handle invalid UTF-8 when parsing playlists [Colin
Walters] - Fixes to bonobo interface [Colin Walters]
- Quote names with spaces for allmusic.com URIs [Colin
Walters] - Disable GTK+ sounds just for Rhythmbox [Miguel Coca]
- Better error message on missing plugin [Colin Walters]
- Fix GConf schema default for selected source [Colin
Walters] - A really major crasher bug fixed [Colin Walters]
- Allow player to release audio sink when GStreamer supports it
[Benjamin O= tte] - Fix several crashers in multiple selection dialog [Colin
Walters]
