GnomeMeeting 1.00
Application
GnomeMeeting 1.00
Description
GnomeMeeting is a H.323 compatible videoconferencing application
that allows you to make audio and video calls to remote users with
H.323 hardware or software (such as Microsoft Netmeeting).
Enhancements
Main GUI :
- Defaults to h323: or callto: if no url handler is specified and
automatically rewrites the URL in the GUI - Improved the incoming call dialog so that it displays the
remote URL (either the IP or the remote party number or the remote
alias) - Added a speed dials submenu in the Call menu. All users for
which you are adding a speed dial in the addressbook will be listed
there, that gives a fast and easy way to call your friend or to
transfer any existing call to them - Do not display DTMF’s in the URL bar during calls
- Added alphabet to the dialpad
- More HIG compliance (thanks to Fabrice Alphonso)
Address book :
- Allow to rename groups and servers
- Allow to have a group name identical to a server name while
keeping them distinct and vice-versa - Keep the last selected page as current when deleting, adding or
renaming a group or a server - Automatically enable the current group in the groups list when
adding a new contact - Added a menu entry to the right-click menu to copy the URL of
the currently selected contact to the clipboard
Preferences window :
- Rewrote the preferences window code
- Added info dialog for codecs
- Administrators can block some settings to default values, they
will be grayed out in the preferences - Rewrote the PC-To-Phone configuration window
Calls history:
- Added call end reason for calls
- Remember last 100 calls
Audio :
- Added support for plugins (Julien Puydt, Craig Southeren)
- Added support for native ALSA
Video :
- Added support for plugins (Julien Puydt, Craig Southeren)
- Improved performances of the video grabber
- Fixed palette problem due to a bug in the Philips webcams
driver - Fixed problem with bttv under 2.6.0
Configuration Assistant :
- Completely rewrote the configuration assistant to make it
simpler and more HIG compliant - Users are now only registered to ILS if they explicitely
request it - Automatically disable video transmission when there is no video
device for the selected plugin - Added VU Meter support (widget from Stefan Bruëns)
- The settings are now only applied when the user clicks on
“Finish” - Better default settings for DSL and cable users
- Rewrote the Audio Tester for better performance, and to permit
it to work with Quicknet cards
H.323 :
- Added possibility to user early H.245 in setup or not
- Added a way to force the gatekeeper alias to be registered as
primary alias with the gatekeeper - Added possibility to clear automatically calls after 30 seconds
of inactivity - Added configurable timeout before clearing or forwarding a
call - Added iLBC codec support
- Added possibility to start/stop the video transmission
on-the-fly during calls - Added support for gateway/proxy
Misc :
- Only display one error popup when several attempts to open the
soundcard fail - Added plugin-managed sound events for incoming calls (incoming
call ring) and outgoing calls (ring tone and busy tone) - All windows sizes and positions are remembered between
sessions - Do not use ILS anymore to get the public IP when a NAT gateway
is used, that allows people to have the service even if they don’t
register to ILS - Allow to configure the web address GnomeMeeting uses to get the
public IP address. This allows people to not have to trust
seconix.com - Added possibility to keep video on windows on top of
others - New notion of status : Available, Free For Chat, Busy,
Forward - Unusable codecs are now grayed out when a Quicknet card is
used - The text chat now supports h323:, callto:, http: and mailto:
URLs (thanks to Julien Puydt) - Rewrote Quicknet support
- The Transfer Call dialog is now closed at the end of calls. You
can also transfer calls using only your POTS - New PC-To-Phone configuration window
- Added a way to force “stay-on-top” for video windows
- Updated translations
- Better GConf keys structure
Documentation :
- Added manual (thanks to Christopher Warner and Matthias
Redlich)

Pango-1.3.5
Pango-1.3.5 is now available for download at:
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.3/
pango-1.3.5.tar.bz2 md5sum: cb94befb65b0ca11cca02fb0f8166679
pango-1.3.5.tar.gz md5sum: d993f60c159c98b93f32e35b4f0eac97
This is the last development release leading up to Pango-1.4.0
which is scheduled for release in one week on March 8. Testing,
especially of the newly reworked OpenType code, is much
appreciated.
Two major improvements have been made since 1.3.3 (the 1.3.4
version number was skipped for consistency with GTK+
numbering.)
- PangoLayout now autocomputes the bidirectional base direction
with a set of patches from Dov Grobgeld. (Part of this work also
shows up in GTK+-2.3.5.) This means that mixed right-to-left and
left-to-right interfaces typically display correctly without
further intervention. - The internal OpenType interfaces have been changed to make GPOS
work much better, including Mark/Ligature attachmentsand cursive
joins. GPOS is now enabled for Arabic text.
The release also contains a couple of small API enhancements,
including the much-requested wavy error underlines. (Patch from
Nicolas Setton)
Notes:
- This is unstable development release. While it has had fairly
extensive testing, there are likely bugs remaining to be found.
This release should not be used in production. - Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of
Pango-1.2. If you have problems, you’ll need to reinstall
Pango-1.2.5. - Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
About Pango
Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an
emphasis on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that
text layout is needed, though most usage so far as been in the
context of the GTK+ widget toolkit. Pango forms the core of text
and font handling for GTK+ 2.
Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout can be
used with four different font backends:
- Core X windowing system fonts
- Client-side fonts on X using the Xft2 library
- Direct rendering of scalable fonts using the FreeType
library - Native fonts on Microsoft platforms
Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for
particular combinations of script and font backend. Pango-1.2 ships
with a wide selection of modules, including modules for Hebrew,
Arabic, Hangul, Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all
of the world’s major scripts are supported.
As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango
includes PangoLayout, a high level driver for laying out entire
blocks of text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized
text.
More information about Pango is available from http://www.pango.org/.
Pango depends on version 2.2.0 or newer of the GLib library;
more information about GLib can be found at http://www.gtk.org/.
Overview of changes between 1.3.3 and
1.3.5
- Add support for automatically determining the base direction
for PangoLayout from the contained text [Dov Grobgeld] - Major rework of internal opentype interfaces to fix problems
with GPOS. Turn on GPOS handling for Arabic. - Add a PangoAttribute to turn off font fallback [Noah
Levitt] - Add wavy error-indication underlines [Nicolas Setton]
- Improve handling of BENGALI LETTER A/E [Sayamindu
Dasgupta] - Win32 bug fixes and improvements [J. Ali Harlow, Hans
Breuer] - Misc bug fixes [Noah, Roozbeh Pournader]

Gfax 0.6.beta9
Application
Gfax 0.6.beta9
Description
Gfax is a pop up fax application for Gnome. It supplies the
familiar pop up window when printing to a fax printer. Gfax
currently works with Hylafax.
Enhancements
Network status queue data reception is much better and should work
without problem now. Previously Gfax would crash or the entire
queue would not be displayed if there were many jobs.
Gfax will now display the number of jobs left in the Send queue
in the window title bar so one can track send status when Gfax is
minimized.
The total number of jobs displayed in the status line at the
bottom of the window. This status line will also show when Gfax is
auto-refreshing the queue.
Queue selection has been added to the “Job” menu.
When sending a fax from the “New Fax” button, fax destinations
can be deselected. You can now select an entire phone book and then
deselect a few numbers.
–
Fixes
*start auto refresh on program startup if enabled. *change socket
read code so all data will be read in hylafax.cs *when deleting
jobs from a the Done queue it is refeshed properly.

About GLib
GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for
projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure
handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such
runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading,
and an object system.
