GNOME 2.7.4 Development Release
GNOME 2.7.4 Development Release
Here’s the latest set of tarballs for the GNOME 2.7 development
branch. We have now entered our API/ABI, Feature and Module
freezes, with our modules decision to be finalised next week. The
biggest change in this release is the new MIME system, masterfully
wrangled by Jonathan Blandford, Dave Camp and Ray Strode. Please
read the extra notes regarding this change below…

Notes about the new MIME system
With GNOME 2.7.4, we have rewritten the old MIME system and
replaced it with the current shared specification found on
freedesktop.org. We expect things to be somewhat buggy with the
initial release, but are working quickly to improve matters. There
are a couple comments to go along with this release:
- In order the to see any applications available, they must be
registered with the MIME system. This can be done by getting the
latest verion of desktop-file-utils and running:update-desktop-database $PREFIX/applications
jhbuild in CVS has been modified to build this, and we expect
applications to do this on install automatically in the future.
Additionally, not every application used the new system as
released. This will also be fixed over the next week. - The new user interface is modeled after the proposal at:
http://www.gnome.org/~jrb/files/mime/
Work on it isn’t complete yet, but it’s progressing well. Also,
the old File Types capplet has been removed in favor of a
nautilus-only interface. - Monitoring of MIME changes doesn’t fully work yet. Changes
won’t be noticed until you hit reload in nautilus.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is
buildable and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and
hacking purposes. Like the Linux kernel, GNOME uses odd minor
version numbers to indicate development status. Please check the
2.7 start page for more information:

Happy testing!

Liferea 0.5.2 & 0.5.2b
Liferea 0.5.2
Liferea (Linux Feed Reader) is a fast, easy to use, and easy to
install GNOME news aggregator for online news feeds. It supports a
number of different feed formats including RSS/RDF, CDF, Atom, OCS,
and OPML.
Bugfixes
- 0.5.1 did falsely encode HTTP URL hash marks as %23. This is
fixed now. (Lars Lindner) - When a feed source command is executed a useful return code is
set so it won’t be unavailable due to missing status information.
(Christophe Barbe)
Changes
- A middle mouse click on the itemlist now toggles read status or
the headline flag depending on the column you click. (Lars
Lindner) - Now favicons that are older than one month are automatically
updated (Lars Lindner) - The search result now provides an extra column with the favicon
of the feed the found headline belongs to. (Lars Lindner) - The mozilla browser module now respects the configured proxy
settings. (Lars Lindner) - Feed and item information is now properly localized. (Lars
Lindner and Nathan Conrad)
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BREAKS FEED CACHE DOWNWARD COMPATIBILITY
WITH OLDER RELEASES! WHEN YOU FALLBACK YOU WON’T SEE THE METADATA
OF ALL NEWLY AQUIRED HEADLINES. ALSO USING OLDER VERSIONS OF
LIFEREA WILL STRIP THE METADATA INFORMATION FROM THE FEED
CACHE!
- Popup menu for the systray icon. (James Bowes)
- Improvements for the favicon handling. favicon.ico files are
now retrieved from the webserver path where the feed is located.
favicon.ico in the webserver root is tried only if this first
attempt fails. favicons are now redownloaded every 30 days. (Lars
Lindner & Nathan Conrad) - Liferea now saves when the mainwindow is maximized. (Marc
Deslauriers) - The gnomevfs2 dependency from GtkHTML2 was removed. (Nathan
Conrad)
