Release Digest: GNOME, January 5, 2004

Conglomerate 0.7.9

Conglomerate 0.7.9 – “We Do The Work – You
Do The Pleasure” Released

Conglomerate is a free, user-friendly XML editor. It is
particularly aimed at DocBook, but should be able to handle any XML
document type. In keeping with recent trends in the GNOME project,
the codename of this release is a quotation from a movie. But can
you tell which movie?

There are two features of this release. The first is a big
rewrite of the clipboard. You can now use the middle-mouse button
to paste the selection from Conglomerate into other X applications,
and vice versa, and various other clipboard bugs have been fixed.
The other feature is that I’ve gone through Bugzilla fixing as many
bugs as possible. Please download it and test that no new bugs have
been introduced! Unfortunately this is still an unstable release;
there are still some known repeatable crash bugs.

You can download it from the usual place: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82766
