Yelp 0.6.1
Hi!
Yelp 0.6.1 is now available. Yelp is the new help browser for GNOME 2.0.
It supports documents written in Docbook XML, man pages and info pages.
Screenshots can be viewed at:
http:
http:
http:
Changes in 0.6.1:
-----------------
sometime man/info didn't get displayed at all (Mikael Hallendal)
in them. (Mikael Hallendal)
A brief note on how to get the docbook stuff to work.
1) Install Scrollkeeper 0.3.6:
http:
http:
Edit /etc/scrollkeeper.conf to include your $(gnome2_prefix)/share/omf
directory. For best use in GNOME 2.0, remove all other directories.
Run scrollkeeper-update.
2) Install docbook-style-xsl and xml-common:
http:
http:
The rpm's are for Red Hat 7.2 (might need other packages, they should be
available on the same place though, let me know if they are not).
Let me know if you have problems.
Enjoy,
Mikael Hallendal

GNOME Clipboard Manager beta-2
GCM (GNOME Clipboard Manager) beta-2 is now available for
download
http:
This is the second "beta release" ...
What is GCM
===========
GCM (GNOME Clipboard Manager) is an application to help you
manage your clipboard selections. It will autocollect selections
(items) on a shelf and allow you to choose which selection(s)
you want to use for pasting.
You can open a collected selection to edit it, manually create
new selections, and delete-copy-paste them. You can select with
which selection-type you want to work : CLIPBOARD, PRIMARY,
SECONDARY or a custom Atom.
In future we are planning to make some tcp/ip networking support
for GCM which will allow you to send selections over a network
to another host running GCM. (Like the netclip application).
This transfering of items will use XML (libxml).
Please note that this project is far from finished. There is
no good documentation yet (somebody is working on it) and a
lot features are unfinished at this moment. We are looking for
people who want to help us with development of this tool/app.
Suggestions are also welcome.
At this moment you can already do all the basic stuff like
collecting selections, selecting a collected selection (to
start using it), deleting, simple editing of collected
selections, Search/Replace, saving some preferences (gconf).
Also saving and loading to/from XML files. Loading GCM as
applet.... and many more features
GCM is free software (GPL).
Changes in beta-2:
==================
+ Jonas Heylen (development)
+ Dmitry Koval (development)
+ Jamaal V. Sanford (doc writer)
Note
====
I kindly invite everybody who is intrested in helping the
development of this application to our mailinglist at
http:
ps. We can use all help. We have many more idea's but not
much resources and time.
http:
Note to the mailinglist purists: This is why I crossposted
to the gnome-hackers list.
For developpers: Most development of gcm is done using the
Anjuta IDE. GCM's source is also completly Anjuta-ready.
-'Thank you' anjuta team for such a good IDE :)-
Where to get more information about GCM:
========================================
Information about GCM including links to documentation can be
found at:
Homepage of the project :
http:
Screenshot of last week :) :
http:
CVS (Since we are working on this project, the CVS version
will probably be "better" then the beta-2 release at all
times. However it might or might not compile. Normally it
compiles ;-).
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gcm.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gcm login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gcm.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gcm co gcm
How it (basicly) works
======================
When GCM looses the selection ownership, it will collect
the new selection; set his selected selection to the new
one and reclaim ownership of the clipboard selection. Using
the CLIPBOARD selection type/atom this works very good.
Using the PRIMARY selection it only works good in GNOME/GTK+
applications (Don't ask me why.. I have no idea. If you
know: tell me). There is an option to "beep" on collect.
So if GCM stops "beeping" then you can always manually get
the current selection and autocollecting will restart if
the auto-collect option is set.

Gnumeric 1.1.3
Gnumeric 1.1.3 aka 'slicker than a greased monkey' is now available.
All the recent algorithmic cleanup for dependencies brought a new hot
spot into view, malloc/free. Exiting large sheets (~500,000 cells) was
taking 20-30 seconds just to free all the twiddly little bits. With
typical efficiency Morten stepping in with a couple of custom
allocators and we're now down under 3 seconds. In the mean time
Andreas has been bounding along polishing off the ui conversion. All
dialogs are now gtk2 happy. Jon Kåre has done an initial re-enabling
of bonobo support, even adding use as a BonoboControl. Jukka-Pekka
has continued to work on the solver. I tossed in a few small
improvements, like completing the support for encrypted xls files.
We're still missing graphs in gnome2, but Jon is hard at work on a port
so hopefully we'll be fully functional soon.
WARNING WARNING WARNING
NOTE : This is a DEVELOPMENT RELEASE it is not supposed to be stable
We do not warrant that it will not cause you, your dog, or that
inflatable doll in the closet, to burst into flame.
