Visage 0.1

The first stable version of Visage, 0.1 "Crash This, I Dare Ya!" has
been released.

Version 0.1 contains various minor bug fixes from beta2, which in turn
contains major bug fixes over beta1.

Visage is a program you can use to rapidly organise and visualise
information. You can use it to organise your thoughts, or any sort of
information that needs to be thoroughly "cross referenced".

Compared to other similar programs, it is based on two main principles:

- That information does not necessarily fit into a single hierarchy, as
some other information organisation programs attempt to do.  Programs
such as word processors also attempt to do this. But information might
not fit into any hierarchy, or might fit into several alternate
hierarchies. Whether you use a hierarchy and which you choose (if so) is
merely a way to view the data, and not a part of the data itself.
- That data is fundamentally typed, and if one wishes one should be able
to define constraints on data that are enforced either rigourously or
loosely.

Visage is released under the GNU GPL, and relies on the Bakery2
framework for C++ GNOME2 applications.

Current versions of Visage have several major limitations - namely no
ability to view information in hierarchies, and no ability to
export/import information to foreign file formats.

Please read the README file for a list of limitations and known bugs.

GNOME Development Series Snapshot 2.1.3

GNOME Development Series Snapshot 2.1.3: "Twin Pines"
=====================================================

The GNOME Development Series Snapshot 2.1.3 "Twin Pines", is ready for your
bug-busting and testing pleasure! It is available for immediate download on
ftp ftp.gnome.org and mirrors.

Detailed information about this release (with screenshots this time!):

  tar.bz2:  63M total


WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
--------------------------

This release is an UNSTABLE development series snapshot. It is intended for
testing and hacking purposes ONLY. Like the Linux kernel, GNOME uses odd
minor version numbers to indicate development status, so this 2.1.x series
will eventually become the official 2.2 release. Please check our schedule
for more info: http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/schedule/


New Features & Modules
----------------------

Please see <http://www.gnome.org/start/2.1/>;, the 2.1.x Development Series
start page, for more information. Our final list of new modules:

  - acme: A daemon and configuration utility for 'special' keys on modern
    multimedia keyboards and notebooks.
  
  - file-roller: Full-featured archive creation, browsing, and unpacking
    utility. See: http://fileroller.sourceforge.net/

  - ggv: The ever-popular PDF and PostScript viewer.

  - gstreamer/gst-plugins: An advanced multimedia framework.

  - gnome-themes: New package of default themes for GNOME, which currently
    includes GTK+ and icon themes designed for accessibility.
  
  - gnome-icon-theme: Default GNOME icon theme.
  
  - metacity: Window manager for the adult in you.

  - nautilus-media: GStreamer-based multimedia support for Nautilus,
    including an awesome new music view and video thumbnailing.

  - startup-notification: A minimal library that supports the new startup
    notification spec from freedesktop.org.
  
  - vte: Terminal widget with improved font, internationalisation and
    accessibility support.

We have removed sawfish, librep, rep-gtk and libzvt from the GNOME Desktop
release.


Build Requirements
------------------

  - The tarballs included in the release. :-)

  - Some very basic packages not distributed with this release, such as
    image libraries, popt and freetype. These should all be included with or
    available for your distribution.

  - Xft2 and fontconfig for superior font rendering and configuration, from
    http://fontconfig.org/ These are absolute requirements now.

  - Docbook DTD 4.1.2, Docbook XSL stylesheets and a valid system catalogue
        file for scrollkeeper (which in turn is required by many desktop
        components for documentation).


Happy testing!

- The GNOME Release Team
