gnome-ior 0.3

gnome-ior 0.3

gnome-ior provides a GUI for parsing, displaying and
lifeness-test of CORBA object references (IORs). Implementation is
based on ORBit2 and libglade-2.0.

Changes

0.3:

  • Using Gnome-2.0 widgets GtkTreeView and GtkTextView and
    construction is based on libglade-2.0 completely.
  • Object-ping is using “_non_existant” operation to query
    lifeness of object in container. This operation is not delegated to
    object implementation but processed by container itsself.
  • Addditional Text-Entry for alternative represenation of IOR as
    URI, ie. corbaloc:iiop:www.gnome.org:8884/NameService

Rhythmbox 0.7.2

Hi,

Here’s a new version in the Rhythmbox development series. We’re
rapidly approaching 0.8.0. A lot of bugs have been fixed.

I’d like to take this space to explain what’s going on with tag
editing. The situation is that almost all the work for this inside
Rhythmbox is already finished. What needs to be done now is for the
underlying media library like GStreamer or Xine to support it.=20
GStreamer’s actually getting pretty close, and you may even see it
in the GStreamer 0.8.0 series.

That out of the way, here is the download location:
