Release Digest: GNOME, July 15, 2003

GGV 2.3.2

it’s not what the new release brings, but what it doesn’t
anymore: GGV no longer registers as a viewer for PDF files, leaving
this role to GPdf.

apart from that major change, Jordi has added X-Bugzilla entries
to the desktop file and I have reverted the page up/down behaviour
to the expected one and added a label to File menu for windows that
don’t have a file menu by themselves (there are such as well?).

I have also (listen carefully the i18n people) introduced a new
fuzzy string in your po files because of the above.

Marco (it) and others have been has updating translations: ja
(Takeshi), cs (Miloslav), sv (Christian), nl (Kees, Tino), id
(Mohammad), da (Ole), es (Lucas), pl (Artur), fi (Pauli), sq
(Laurent), ru (Valek)

have fun,

Epiphany 0.8.0

Hi,

  • What is it ?

Epiphany is a GNOME web browser based on the mozilla rendering
engine.
The name meaning:
“An intuitive grasp of reality through
something (as an event) usually simple and striking”

You can find more info about the project goals at: http://epiphany.mozdev.org

  • What’s changed ?

mainteinance.

About “I’ve given up smoking”

Yep, I’ve been one week without smoking, but I haven’t tell to
anyone (I’m really afraid of go back smoking and people saying…
didn’t you give it up?), so a release name is the best for this
🙂
