gdome2-0.7.3
Hello guys!
The gdome2 release 0.7.3 codename "eventually" is out!!
* Description:
gdome2 is meant to be an easy to use, fast, light-weight DOM Level 2
implementation library for the C programming language. It aims at
standard compliance and it relies on libxml2.
A DOM Implementation makes a XML or a HTML document available for
processing and traversal of a XML document by means of a standard set
of interfaces.
Although gdome2 has been written as part of the GNOME project, it can
be used stand-alone. One of its main strenghts is that wrappers for
other programming languages can be easily written on top of it (and,
for the most part, they can be generated automatically thanks to the
uniformity of DOM interfaces) so to make it quickly available to a
wide range of users.
* Features
- Supports the following DOM Level 2 modules:
- "Core";
- "XML";
- "Events";
- "MutationEvents".
- Partially supports the following DOM Level 3 modules:
- "XPath".
- Exports an object oriented interface.
- Provides a reference counting system that is responsible of all
memory management issues.
* News
- Added support for pkg-config.
- Improved the package deployment.
- Bug fixes.
* Resources
The home page of the project is:
http://gdome2.cs.unibo.it/
The HTML Reference Manual with extensive API documentation is
available here:
http://gdome2.cs.unibo.it/gtk-doc/book1.html
* Acknowledgments
I wish to thank all gdome2 authors, Enrico Zini, Oron Peled and Jean
Schurger for their collaboration.

gcalctool v4.2.43
Hi all,
The gcalctool release 4.2.43 codenamed "tire kicking time" is now available.
* Description
gcalctool is a desktop calculator with basic, financial and scientific
modes. It uses an internal multiple precision package to do its arithmetic
to give a high degree of accuracy.
* News
This release brings to you a version that is much more GNOMEish. It's
basic mode is much simpler to use. Numerous bugs have been fixed. It's
UI has been revised with the help of one of the GNOME HCI engineers.
See the ChangeLog for more details.
Note there are three things that are currently being worked on:
1/ Online help - Breda McColgan will be generating online help for
gcalctool very soon (bug #104821).
2/ Tooltip help - until the online help is in place, there is extensive
tooltip help for gcalctool. Some of them are huge (bug #101784).
3/ Entering a new constant/function - the UI for this functionality will be
revamped in the next week or so to make it simpler to use (bug #104249).
* Resources
The latest gcalctool sources are available in GNOME CVS as module
"gcalctool".
There is a source .tar.gz of v4.2.43 available at:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/calctool/gcalctool-4.2.43.tar.gz?download
Simple basic mode and scientific screen screenshots can be found at:
http://calctool.sourceforge.net/Screenshots/gcalctool_bm_ss.gif
http://calctool.sourceforge.net/Screenshots/gcalctool_sm_ss.gif
* Acknowledgments
I'd like to thanks the following people for their help in getting gcalctool
into shape:
Calum Benson for his UI makeover.
Dennis Cranston and Andrew Sobela for help with the curly bugs.
Glynn Foster for some UI suggestions.
Padraig O'Briain for help with the keyboard accelerators.
Hidetoshi Tajema for I18N work.
Christian Rose for localization work.
(Apologies if I've missed anyone).
Have at it. Comments to me and/or to the desktop-devel mailing list.
Bugs into Bugzilla against "gcalctool".
