Gnome OSD
Gnome OSD is a new small project to create an OSD (On Screen
Display) infrastructure, similar to XOSD. It includes a
command-line client, and sample xchat and rhythmbox plugins.
This is the first release. Bear that in mind when you think of
the missing features 🙂
Requirements:
- gnome-python >= 2.5.90

BLAM! 1.2.3
What happened to 1.2.2 you might wonder? Well, isn’t 1.2.3 a
much cooler version number?…
Anyway, this release features OPML import/export as well as
rendering fixes for Gtkhtml 3.1. Also added Ctrl+] for next unread
message (works as well as “.”), so now it works exactly like
Evolution in that respect.
Download it from here if you want to give it a spin: http://ftp.imendio.com/pub/imendio/blam/blam-1.2.3.tar.gz

Enjoy,

Revelation 0.3.1
Revelation is a password manager for the GNOME 2 desktop,
released under the GNU GPL license. It stores all your accounts and
passwords in a single, secure place, and gives you access to it
through a user-friendly graphical interface.
This release has many small improvements and quite a few
bugfixes. Notable changes include autosaving data when changed,
saving of window size and position on quit, and import/export of
GNOME Password Manager and .netrc files. In addition, the internal
data handling has been almost completely rewritten, and much of the
code has been cleaned up.
New features:
– added a preference for autosaving data on change
– added import/export of .netrc files
– added import/export of GNOME Password Manager (gpass) files
– replaced the import/export druids with normal file selectors
– window size and position is stored on quit
– default type when adding entries is Generic
– vertical scrollbar only displayed when needed
– most dialogs can be closed by pressing Escape
– the OK button in password dialogs is ghosted until passwords are
given
– removed schema installation from setup.py to ease packaging
Bugfixes:
– the preferences and import/export druids crashed on some
systems
– the gconf schema is checked on startup, and reinstalled when
needed
– fields containing & were not displayed correctly
– file selector was opened when saving file in quit
confirmation
– spin buttons would not accept input from the keyboard
– missing parent directories are created when saving files
– added access keys to popup menus
– file selectors and the about dialog set as transient for main
window
Code changes:
– rewrote data handling to use new Entry and Field objects, and
improved EntryStore, UndoQueue, DataFile and other related
systems
– data handlers split out into separate modules
– rewrote the configuration handling, using a new Config class
– merged application UI and functionality classes
– cleaned up dialog and ui code

PyGTK 2.3.96
I am pleased to announce version 2.3.96 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-2.3.96.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.
What’s new since 2.3.95?
- Threading fixes (Johan, Gustavo)
- Bug fixes (John, Johan, Gustavo)
- GEnum/GFlags wrapping improvements
- GdkAtom string wrapping (John)
- Better boolean support (since we now can require 2.3)
Blurb:
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 >= 2.3 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.
