GSwitchIt 2.0.2
GSwitchiIt toolkit v2.0.2 "Happy birthday, friend" for GNOME 2
There is major restructuring in the non-standard switching key support.
Now GSwitchIt does not do any key grabbing (in gswitchit_applet) - just
patching low level XKB structures (in xkb-properties-capplet). So more
correct code, more stable behavior etc.
The applet is a standalone app again, not shared library. Michael Meeks
was so convincing...:)
A lot of translations (thanks to Gnome Translation Project) and new
flags. Now, the distribution also includes the GIMP script for creating
new flags (thanks to Alan Horkan).
All the secondary layout processing code gone into libxklavier.
Some minor bugs were fixed too.
Important note: all the bug reports for this release should be put into
GNOME bugzilla, not sourceforge one.

Sodipodi 0.29
Eh, oh... yes, it is...
What is Sodipodi?
================
Vector drawing program.
What's New
================
Sodipodi 0.29 release notes
This is the first version using Gtk+ 2.0 widget set and updated support
libraries. So it is probably quite buggy inside and out.
The number of required libraries has come down considerably. Most
importantly you do not need gnome libraries anymore, libgnomeprint and
libgnomeprintui are optional. Thus building it should be much easier.
This version should compile on Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP. The support is
still in very early phase of development, so it may require some
tweaking, depending on actual build system used.
Highlights (in the order of Changelog):
* Port to Gtk+ 2.0 (Mitsuru)
* Removed libgnome, libgnomeui, libgal dependencies, reimplement
missing pieces (Mitsuru)
* Gnome print support is now compile time option (Lauris)
* Smooth canvas scroll (Lauris)
* Initial direct PostScript print implementation (Lauris)
* Windows32 port (Lauris)
* Support GtkIM in text context (MenTaLguY)
* Fixed namespace loading code (MenTaLguY)
* Optional loading of Xft font database (Lauris)
* Control constrains draw to 15 degrees instead of 90 (Nathan)
* Fixed linear grid snapping code (Nathan)
* Allow multiple toolboxes and toolbox docking (Lauris)
