Bug Buddy 2.2.99

Hello,

Bug Buddy "Rain Dogs" 2.2.99 is out!

Bug Buddy is the GNOME bug reporting tool.

Lot of time since last released version. It includes lot of cool changes from
Jacob Berkman (the original author) and a new update system/dialog.

Please, try it a lot, and of course, reports bugs using itseft!

        and if you want to know what "Rain Dogs" means... read the bottom of
the announcement!

Changes
-------

  * Fixes:
 
        - fix incorrect url (bug #86711)
 
        - fix a leak (bug #95981, Kjartan)
 
        - make file saving  (bug #84914)
 
         
  * Improvements:
 
        - Try to update bugzilla files only once a day, and get first md5sums
          to check if it's really needed. New update dialog (HIG compliant) at
          startup time.
 
        - When invoked from crash, skip Application/product and component
          step, because we have the info from .dekstop file. If invoked from
          scratch, skip only product step. We should be able to autoselect the
          component, but cannot do with gtktreeview.

About "Rain Dogs"
-----------------

Rain Dogs is a song by Tom Waits, from the 1986 album of same title. Quoting
TW: "It's a kind of word I made up for people who sleep in doorways..I mean,
New York when it rains, all the peelings and cigarette butts, float to the
surface like in Taxi Driver when he says, "someday a real raids gonna come
along and wash all the scum of f the street". Looks better in the rain, like
it's been lacquered."

The beginig of the song is (quote some lines is allowed by copyright laws):

                Inside a broken clock
                splashing the wine with all the rain dogs
                taxi, we'd rather walk
                Huddie a doonway with the rain dogs
                for I am a rain dog too

GLib-2.1.5

GLib-2.1.5 is now available for download at:

 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.1/

This is a the final prerelease before GLib-2.2. As compared
to the stable GTK+-2.0.x series, it contains a number of small
API additions. Also new in this release is support for building
using an included copy of the Trio library (http://daniel.haxx.se/trio/)
for formatting strings on systems whose printf() function is 
deficient.

Since 2.1.4, changes are various minor bug fixes and fixes
to the build process. (Various problems that showed up
from the major build changes in 2.1.4 have now been fixed.)

Notes:

 * This is is still a development release. Please test it.
   Please don't use it in production.

 * Only very minor changes are anticipated between GLib-2.1.5 
   and the final GLib-2.2.0.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
   copy of GLib-2.0. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GLib-2.0.7.

 * The seeding algorithm for the pseudo-random generator used by 
   GRand and GRandom was because some seeds would yield very bad 
   pseudo-random streams. If you need exact compatibility with the
   GLib-2.0 algorithm, a G_RANDOM_VERSION environment variable
   is supported; see the README file for further details.

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
   

About GLib
==========

GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects
such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C,
portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as
an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.

More information about GLib is available at:

 http://www.gtk.org/

An installation guide for the GTK+ libraries, including GLib, can
be found at:

 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html

=================================================

* Win32 bug fixes [Tor Lillqvist]
* Various post-rewrite fixes for glib-gettext.m4 [Owen Taylor,
  Jody Goldberg, Kjartan Maraas, Johannes Stezenbach]
* Ensure we have a GUINT64_FORMAT by pulling in Trio
  if necessary [Manish Singh]

GTK+-2.1.5

GTK+-2.1.5 is now available for download at:

 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.1/

This is the final prerelease before GTK+-2.2. The major 
change as compared to the stable GTK+-2.0.6 is support for
multiple displays and multiple screens in GDK, although there are
numerous minor changes as well.

Changes since GTK+-2.1.3 are mostly bug fixes. Among
other things the GtkFileSel widget should work better with 
non-ASCII filenames than it has in previous GTK+-2.x 
releases.

Notes:

 * This is still a development release. Please try it out.
   Please don't use it in production.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
   copy of GTK+-2.0. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GTK+-2.0.9.

 * GTK+-2.2 will be source and binary compatible with
   the GTK+-2.0.x series.

 * You'll need at least Pango-1.1.2 or Pango-1.0.5 for correct
   operation.

 * GTK+ looks for theme engines in a version dependent  directory, 
   so you'll need to reinstall any theme engines you want to use.

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
   
What is GTK+
============

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for
projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application
suites.

GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of
languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and
Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides
an effective method of rapid application development.

GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the
licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all
pdevelopers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties. 

Where to get more information about GTK+
========================================

Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can be
found at:
 
 http://www.gtk.org/

An installation guide for GTK+-2.0 is found at:

 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html

Pango-1.1.6

Pango-1.1.6 is now available for download at:

 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.1/

This is the final prerelease before Pango-1.2; this release
is expected to be essentially identical to the final 1.2 except
for some documentation updates. This package is ABI and API 
compatible with the public API in Pango-1.0.x.

The two major changes as compared to Pango-1.0.x are support
for the Xft2 and fontconfig libraries, and a new shaper for
Indic languages using OpenType fonts.

Changes since 1.1.5 are minor; there is one fix for a crash
that can occur when shaping certain invalid combinations 
of Korean characters.


About Pango
===========

Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis
on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout
is needed; however, most of the work on Pango-1.0 was done using the
GTK+ widget toolkit as a test platform. Pango forms the core of text
and font handling for GTK+-2.0.

Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout can be used
with four different font backends:

 - Core X windowing system fonts
 - Client-side fonts on X using the Xft library
 - Direct rendering of scalable fonts using the FreeType library
 - Native fonts on Microsoft backends

Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particular
combinations of script and font backend. Pango-1.0.0 ships with a wide
selection of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic, Hangul, 
Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all of the world's major 
scripts are supported.

As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes
PangoLayout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text,
and routines to assist in editing internationalized text.

More information about Pango is available from http://www.pango.org/.

Pango depends on version 2.0.0 of the GLib library; more information
about GLib can be found at http://www.gtk.org/.


Changes between 1.1.5 and 1.1.6
===============================

* Fix crash with isolated Hangul tone marks.
* Improve font solection for Hangul tone marks
* Improve range definitions for basic-xft [Jungshik Shin]
* Docs improvements [Matthias Clasen]
