gcalctool 4.3.48
Application
gcalctool
Description
gcalctool is the default GNOME desktop calculator.
It has Basic, Financial and Scientific modes. Internally it uses
multiple precision arithmetic to produce results to a high degree
of accuracy.
This release is to try to get folks to give an important fix a
real workout before for GNOME 2.6 GA. See bug#135064 for more
details.
Changes since the last version
(4.3.46).
- Fixed bug 135064. Changing the sign of a large number (when
“Show Thousands Separator” is on and this is not the C locale), no
longer corrupts the display.
My special thanks to Miloslav Trmac for fixing this problem in a
really elegant manner. This is an important change to the way that
numbers are displayed.
The fix involved resetting all the internal calculations in
gcalctool to be done in the C locale, and then localized (radix
character and thousands separator), just before the number is
displayed.
I’d appreciate it if everybody could give this a good thrashing
in as many locales as possible to make sure that it’s fully
working.
- Fixed bug 135328. Added Shift-slash as a recognized alternate
for the divide operation (needed by the be-latin1 keyboard
layout).

Process-translation 1.9.4
Hi all,
Made a fresh release… a few bugfixes, all of them minor bugs
or even cosmetic changes, and a new feature, requested by Metin
Amiroff, a global progress-bar. One window with one progress bar
for all translation files. For when you have to upload a lot of
files.
Have fun!
http://gnome-nl.sourceforge.net/process-translation-1.9.4.tar.gz
If you don’t know what process-translation is, skip down to the
“What is it?” part.
Changes:
2004-02-26 Release 1.9.4 “Yes… I have the memo.”
This should be the last one before 2.0 gets released (knock on
wood).
- Fixed bug: Made cvs.gnome.org/ online-check more robust.
It won’t complain as much as it used to. - Fixed bug: Non-blocking editors would screw up the commit:
changes to configure.in wouldn’t get into cvs. Now, it waits until
all instances of the editor (owned by you) are closed, exchanging
this bug=20 with a less annoying one. - Fixed bug: The script now actually listens to your preference
when you say that it shouldn’t download the configure-files. How
nice. - Fixed bug: A better detection if the uploader is equal to the
translator. The cvs-changelog entry is much nicer now. - Feature: GLOBAL PROGRESS BAR. What? Yes, you heard me. One
progress bar for all files. For when you have to commit multiple
translation files at the same time. That feature was HARD! But it’s
there. I’ve already used it myself for committing the files
modified by GRUT (GRand Unified Translation). - Feature: A split of the extra routines. You can now define
actions to be done after every file, and actions to be done after
all files have been comitted. Look for for the BIG comment-blocks
in the script itself (near the bottom).
What is it?
process-translation 1.9.4
process-translation is my attempt at creating a nice interface
for Translation-team coordinators. It processes translation files,
checking their contents and decompressing them if needed. The files
are then uploaded to GNOME-CVS. It can also do some extra stuff if
everything is done. This script does the dirty work. It can be
called directly with a few files, or without any arguments to start
interactive mode (with ZENITY!).

GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Plugins 0.7.5 “Under The
Sea”
The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release in the
0.7.x development series of the GStreamer Plugins. The goal of this
release series is to stabilize towards a 0.8 release series which
will be part of the GNOME 2.6 releases and hopefully eventually KDE
4.x.
The 0.7 series is a development series and is aimed at
developers. It is NOT API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x
series or with other releases in the series. This means you can not
use this release to upgrade your current GStreamer installation and
expect your GStreamer applications to keep working without a
recompile. It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x
series.
Features of this release
- Compatible with gstreamer 0.7.5
- ffmpeg plugin moved to gst-ffmpeg module
- DV fixes
- mikmod fixes
- OSX build fixes
- jpeg fixes
- gdk_pixbuf fixes
- automake 1.8 underquotedness fixes
- rfb server/port addition
- colorspace fixes
- liboil usage in videofilter and videotestsrc
- better LADSPA classification
- ALSA xrun recovery fixes
- switch fixes
- xvimagesink fixes
- moved out MAS sink
- experimental xine lib plugin
- intfloat and oneton removed in favour of audioconvert and
interleave - only export gst_* from plugins
- lame tag writing fixed
- added reporting of codecs used
- version gconf schemas and install locations
- qtdemux fixes
- gamma correction fixes
Known issues
- MPEG video playback needs to be updated, it doesn’t work
reliably - The play library has visualisation disabled for now
Bugs fixed in this release
- 129740 : MP4/M4A files not recognized properly
- 130507 : Silence/sine don’t have a sync property
- 131050 : avi-demux plays audio, but funky colors as video
- 131534 : jhbuild build failure with Debian sid
- 131948 : xoverlay and gstplay sample fails to build – missing
include - 133219 : missing include in ./gst/effectv/gstedge.c
- 133316 : gst/vbidec/vbiscreen missing cast
- 133410 : gstid3tag doesnt handle track-count
- 133508 : [oggdemux] Can’t play files with multiple streams
- 133528 : sincesrc seems not to register its dparams
correctly - 133562 : Build breaks on dvdec
- 133663 : ext/ladspa categorises all plugins as
Filter/Effect - 133886 : libtool error while compiling alsamixer plug-in
- 134255 : vbidec won’t compile
- 134318 : GConf schemas should be in versioned files, and
install in v - 134322 : gst/intfloat/gstint2float.c forgets to include
“inttypes.h” - 134612 : ext/gdk_pixbuf/Makefile: error in target
install-loaderLTLIB - 134750 : Problem building gst-plugins on Solaris
- 134894 : vorbisdec signals tags with bitrate < 1 (ie not
set) - 135038 : port gst-shorten to the new caps system
- 135042 : fix tag writing in lame
- 135116 : gstflacenc.c fails to build in NetBSD

Applications
As mentioned there are some changes in API/ABI between the 0.6.x
and 0.7.x releases. Many applications will probably be source
compatible between 0.6.x. and 0.7.x however. Rhythmbox and Sound
Juicer for instance work very well when compiled on 0.7.x.
GStreamer Player does not work across releases however, so we will
make a separate release of gst-player with the needed fixes for it
to work with 0.7.x. This release contains the core fixes we were
waiting for to port the player over so expect a gst-player release
in the near future.
