Yelp 2.5.4

Yelp 2.5.4:
“Amber”

I’m pleased to announced the “Amber” release of Yelp, which has
been anticipated highly by 15 year-olds the world over.

What is it?

“World’s best bike.”

Yelp is the default help browser for GNOME 2. Yelp can read help
files in HTML or DocBook format.

What’s
changed?

“I’m a loner, Dottie. A rebel.”

Massive amount of mind-numbing work in fixing various scrolling
issues, including pages loading at the bottom of the page (#131305)
and not scrolling to anchors (#93721). (Shaun McCance)
Build fix in yelp-window.c. (Mikael Hallendal)
Handle mailto: URIs correctly again. (Shaun McCance)
Fix double history problem on first page of a document. (Shaun
McCance)
Fix history problem for any external links. (Shaun
McCance)
Some stylistic changes to the stylesheets. (Shaun McCance)
Don’t leak massive amounts of memory in yelp-window.c. (Shaun
McCance)
Nicer automatic chunk depth determination. (Shaun McCance)
Handle XInclude properly. (Shaun McCance)
Work around libxml2 bug (now fixed, but I don’t want to depend
on that recent of a version) which caused the TOC not to get loaded
if there was a single bad OMF file. (Shaun McCance)
Allow relative paths to file on the command line. (Shaun
McCance)
Updated translations: az (Mœtin Œmirov) cs
(Miloslav Trmac) da (Ole Laursen de (Christian Neumair) el (Kostas
Papadimas) es (Francisco Javier F. Serrador) fr (Christophe Merlet)
ga (Alastair McKinstry) hu (Andras Timar) ja (Takeshi AIHANA) ko
(Changwoo Ryu) lt (Zygimantas Berucka ms (Hasbullah Bin Pit) nl
(Vincent van Adrighem) no (Kjartan Maraas) pl (Artur Flinta) pt
(Duarte Loreto) pt_BR (Estêvão Samuel Procópio)
sq (Laurent Dhima) sr (Danilo Šegan) sr@Latn (Danilo
Šegan) sv (Christian Rose)

What’s wrong?

“C’mon, Simone. Let’s talk about your big but.”

The 2.5.x series do not have working man and info converters, so
these will be regressions in the stable 2.6 releases. SGML support
has also been dropped, due to dropped support in libxml2.

Where can I get
it?

“There’s no basement in the Alamo!”

gnome-panel 2.5.4
gnome-session 2.5.4
gnome-desktop 2.5.4

Hey,

What are they ?

gnome-panel contains the GNOME panel which is the area on your
desktop from which you can run applications and applets, and
perform other tasks.

gnome-session contains the GNOME session manager, the GNOME
session manager configuration program and several other session
management related utilities and the GNOME session manager proxy,
which handles basic session management for applications that do not
support XSMP.

gnome-desktop contains the libgnome-desktop library which
contains APIs that really belong in libgnome[ui] but have not seen
enough testing or development to be considered stable. It also
contains documents installed as part of the core GNOME
distribution, e.g. the GPL, GNOME’s .desktop files, the gnome-about
program, some manpages and GNOME’s core graphics files and
icons.

gnome-netstatus 0.14

Hey,

What is it ?

The Network Monitor is a little applet which sits on your panel
flashing away at you so as to give you an idea of whats happening
on your network interface.

It also has a little dialog to give you more information about
the network interface.

Needless to say, this applet is not based in any way on any
similar feature in any other operation system. This is a genuine
original work. Um, well …

GNOME User Documentation 2.5.0

GNOME User Documentation
2.5.0

IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!
Please read this release announcement if you maintain any component
which links to the GNOME User Guide.

Version 2.5.0 of the GNOME User Documentation has been released.
This release does not yet have updated content for 2.6. The only
change in this release is that the GNOME User’s Guide is now
installed as a single document, rather than by chapter.

Any links (including Help buttons in applications) which point
to the old wgos* documents should now be updated to point to
user-guide. This release creates symlinks to user-guide.xml for
each wgos* file that was in previous releases, so links may still
work correctly. However, your links will only go to the correct
location in the document if you are using an anchor in a URL, or
passing a string for the link_id argument in the
gnome_help_display_ functions.

Please, update all links and buttons to the User Guide.

MyNetMonitor 1.0.2

Application

MyNetMonitor 1.0.2

now mynetmonitor starts to update a connections log file
($HOME/.mynetmonitor-log)
now mynetmonitor works with inteface names long until 6
characters

added swedish translation
added portuguese translation

Download

http://web.tiscali.it/diegobazzanella/mynetmonitor.html

GGV 2.5.3

“Race”, the one and only PostScript viewer for real men!

Actually, it’s just as good (even more, GGV prefers to be
handled by feminine clicks!) for women, but it sounds better when
you put it the way it is put above…

Now, what does it bring to users of both sexes?

Fixes for the Save dialog issues (#131656), some sanity checks
that will prevent crashes for those braven enough to compile the
libs without sanity checks, properly quoted m4 defines in
acinclude.m4 and a number of updated translations: Serbian
(Danilo), Czech (Miloslav), Japanese (Takeshi), Polish (GNOME PL
Team), Dutch (Kees), Albanian (Laurent), Swedish (Christian),
French (Cristophe), Brazilian Portuguese (Gustavo Maciel Dias),
Korean (Changwoo), Norwegian (Kjartaan), Norwegian Nyorsk (Asmund),
Azerbaijani (Martin), Malay (Hasbullah) and Irish (Alastair).

At your local gnome dealer,

Enjoy,

Revelation 0.1.2

Revelation is a password manager for the GNOME 2 desktop. It
organizes accounts in a tree structure, and stores them as
AES-encrypted XML files.

This release adds support for selecting and manipulating
multiple entries at the same time. It also has a few
UI-improvements related to the data view, some performance fixes
with large number of entries and a lot of code cleanups.

scrollkeeper (0.3.12 -> 0.3.14)
– Runtime fixes:

Use a per-user directory for storing the extracted contents
files. This avoids problems when multiple users share /tmp and use
scrollkeeper.
Do XInclude processing on documents before extracting
information.
By default, do not use the network to retrieve required DTDs.
- Can be changed using the ‘-n’ parameter to scrollkeeper-install
  and friends.
Do not segfault if an OMF file is invalid.
- Build fixes:
Install various package documentation files.
Tidy up the build process a little bit and fix some portability
bugs.
Update included gettext code.
Build fixes for specific platforms (Solaris and *BSD
systems).
Detect installed version of the DocBook DTD at build time.
Allow the location of system XML catalog to be specified.
- see the –with-xml-catalog flag.
Install locale-specific program files correctly (i.e.
portably).
Allow scrollkeeper data directory to be customised
- see the –with-partial-db-dir flag.
Upgrade supplied gettext and automake versions.
- Miscellaneous:
Correctly register translated versions of documents by
considering their category, rather than their titles.
Don’t leak file descriptors when updating the database. This
fixes resource starvation problems on some systems.
Fix some memory leaks.
Should now work with IPv6-enabled systems.
When using a non-default prefix, the scrollkeeper log files are
updated correctly.
Many Sourceforge bug tracker bugs fixed and all outstanding
patches in the patch tracker evaluated and applied if appropriate.
