Conglomerate 0.5.1
Conglomerate 0.5.1 is now available for download from this
address:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82766
The main website is at http://www.conglomerate.org
This is an UNSTABLE release: it will crash from time to time,
along with numerous other problems. However it should do this in a
stylish way.
WHAT IS IT?
Conglomerate is a free user-friendly XML editor. It attempts to
hide the gory details of XML from the end-user. It can support any
XML file format, but so far we have been concentrating on DocBook
support.
A goal of the project is to create a free DocBook editor that
Word users can easily learn.
It’s currently fairly usable for viewing XML files.
Unfortunately, there are numerous bugs, so it tends to crash when
you start editing things. We will be fixing these problems in a
forthcoming release.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
You can see some screenshots at http://www.conglomerate.org/shots.php
WHAT DOES IT RUN ON?
Conglomerate should run on any recent free operating system,
such as GNU/Linux. Internally it uses the GNOME 2 libraries for
historical reasons – it ought to run fine under KDE. If you have
any interoperability problems, please let us know!
WHAT’S NEW IN THIS VERSION?
The previous version was released over three years ago, and
languished unmaintained (but fondly remembered) on CVS. It has now
been almost entirely rewritten, component by component. Some of the
changes:
- ported from GTK 1 to GNOME 2
- uses libxml2 rather than Flux for its XML handling
- now uses Pango to support i18n
- uses gettext for i18n support
- Spanish and Russian translations
- attempts to comply with the GNOME Human Interface
Guidelines - has a new-look, cleaner UI
- now uses a Model-View architecture internally
- the beginnings of a plugin architecture.
- and many more features!
We’ll now move over to a more regular, frequent release
schedule.
HOW DO I REPORT BUGS?
The current editor control is highly unstable, and will be
rewritten soon, so please don’t report bugs with editing for
now.
For other bugs, we are using the Bug Tracking Database provided
by the nice folk at the GNOME project. Please have a look at the
“conglomerate” component at http://bugzilla.gnome.org, and see
if the bug you’ve found is already there. If not, please add a bug
report!
HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?
We need translators, people to write plugins, documentation,
user interface designers etc etc. If you’re interested in getting
involved, have a look at http://www.conglomerate.org/contact.php
Hope you find Conglomerate useful!
Many thanks to everyone who’s helped me breathe life back into
the project:
- Hans Petter Jansson (wrote the original version of Conglomerate
and provided lots of help) - Joakim Ziegler (visual design, web wrangling, and much
advice) - Steiner Bang (numerous useful suggestions)
- Geert Stappers (lots of little things)
- Brent Hendricks (UI improvements)
- Doug Daniels (improvements to UI and to DTD support)
- Dmitry Mastrukov (Russian translations, and help with
i18n) - Quique (Spanish translations) Sorry if I missed anybody.

Gnumeric 1.1.18
Gnumeric 1.1.18 aka ‘Light at the End of the Tunnel’ is now
available.
Its been 4 months since we last announced a release, and this
one is worth the wait. There’s so much in here its hard to know
where to start.
At long last a gtk2 based charting engine is in place. An MS
Excel importer is tied in, and its ready to test. Guppi did more,
but this is already better than the Gnumeric-1.0.x wrapper for
Guppi. The data allocation is much stronger, and easily handles
things like vector size changes, and missing values. The rest of
the features should fall into place shortly.
In addition, the text import/export code is getting its long
awaited spring cleaning. With the addition of a nice encoding
selector, and lot of internal improvements, its now lighter,
faster, and more utf8 aware.
Other highlights include
- lots of bug squashing in preparation for 1.2
- Multi-screen support
- performance tuning
- more HIGification
- An initial Hebrew translation and some work on RTL support Look
at the size of the NEWS log and marvel.
Please start testing this release and submitting bugs. I’d like
to compress the beta cycle as much as possible. The sooner you
report the problem the sooner we can fix it. Our avid QA team
dredged up 67 bugs in 3 days and less than twenty, mostly
enhancement requests, remain.
NOTE : This will (hopefully) be the last release before feature
freeze.
The charting engine needs a few more bells before we can lock it
down.
NOTE : release 1.1.17 aka ‘less fun than a gal stone’ was not
announced due to late breaking bugs, we recommend against using
it.

- Some more utf-8 cleaning in the stf parsers.

GTetrinet 0.7.2
Application
GTetrinet 0.7.2, “Tellement mieux”
Description
GTetrinet is a Tetrinet client for GNOME2. Tetrinet is a variant
of the popular Tetris brick game, that can be played simultaneously
by 6 players. GTetrinet’s goal is to remain completely compatible
with the Windows, original client.
Notes
This new version brings some minor features, but some of them
had a lot of demand. First, a few eye candy changes: new icons on
the toolbar (which can still improve, but it’s a start) and the
merge of the Start/Stop game buttons. GTetrinet finally learned
about nickname completion in the partyline. We insist, the
partyline isn’t IRC, it’s a lot uglier, limited and crappy in
general, but people insisted in having autocompletion… People
also complained that the mouse cursor can be annoying if it’s
placed in the middle of you playing field. Not anymore, as
GTetrinet hides it 🙂 Also, lots of French users complained about
their problems using specials with their extremely weird Azerty
keyboards (I really don’t know how they can use those keyboards),
so we made these keys configurable too. Thanks to the GNOME I18N
people, there’s a hell lot of new/updated translations, too.
Fixes
- Added new icons to several places.
- Merged Start/Stop button.
- Nickname autocompletion in partyline!
- Show /msg commands in partyline.
- The mouse cursor is now hidden while playing.
- New keyboard shortcuts for connect/disconnect, change team and
start/stop/pause game. Attack/defense keys are now
configurable, helping Azerty keyboard users. - Other bugfixes.
- New and updated translations: French (Christophe Merlet),
Catalan (Jordi Mallach), Swedish (Christian Rose), Portuguese
(Duarte Loreto), Czech (Miloslav Trmac), Dutch (Tino Meinen),
Brazilian Portuguese (Alexandre Folle de Menezes), Japanese
(KAMAGASAKO Masatoshi), Serbian (Danilo Segan), Basque (Julen Landa
Alustiza), Traditional Chinese (Abel Cheung).
