libpanelappletmm 1.3.1

The gnomemm team is very pleased to announce the release of
libpanelappletmm 1.3.1.

libpanelappletmm

libpanelappletmm provides a C++ binding for the panel applet
API. This API is simpler and more object oriented than the
underlying C API.

libpanelappletmm requires Gtkmm >= 2.0, Gconfmm >= 2.0,
Libgnomemm >= 2.0, and gnome-panel/libpanel-applet >= 2.4

Changes/Enhancements

Mostly a new feature release, but fixes a build issue as
well.

1.3.1:

• Removed references to libgnomeprintmm; fixes #128413 (Alexander
  Nedotsukov)
• Added get and set methods for the GConf API (Bryan
  Forbes).

Marlin 0.3

Marlin 0.3 “10,000/2,000,000. Isn’t freedom wonderful?”[1] has
been released.

Everyone likes short release cycles so this is a sort release
cycle. Marlin is a sample editor. Sound sample editor for the
smartarse who asked what type of samples the last time round. It
uses GNOME2 and GTK +2.3.

Changes since the last time:

• Translations. We’ve moved to cvs.gnome.org and the translators have
  gone mad. Translations we’ve got this time round are
  de: Christian Neumair
  nl: Vincent van Adrighem
  pt: Duarte Loreto
  sr: … (I’ll put money on that not coming out anywhere 🙂
  sr@Latn: Danilo Segan
  sv: Christian Rose.
  Thanks to all the translators, I hope I’ve got all the names
  right.
• Now requires GTK+ 2.3 because it uses all the new code for
  actions and menus and file chooser[2] and stuff from it.

Minor changes:

• Doesn’t lose selection when you perform an operation on the
  sample
• Doesn’t lock up if you try to cut/copy more than once.
• Displays how long is left until an operation like load sample
  is until completion. Oh yeah, and its not very accurate right now.
  In fact, you might think its picking random numbers, but its not
  honest, it just sucks at working it out.
• Right clicking the overview bar starts playback from that
  point
• You can drag the overview bar page around to scroll to a point
  quicker.

Where do you get it?

this monkey’s gone to heaven,
iain (yeah, I know, these release notes sucked. Read some Calvin
and Hobbes instead)

[1] For short…
[2] Yes, I know you can’t save to a file that doesn’t exist. Its a
gtk bug.
