Eye of Gnome 2.3.0
Hello lovers of one-eyed creatures, a new release of your favourite image viewing application is out. Application =========== Eye of Gnome 2.3.0 Description =========== Eye of Gnome is the default image viewer for the Gnome Desktop. This development release is the first version after the fundamental re-design of this application. Beside the general image viewing component (which is also used by the Nautilus filemanager), there is now a first version of a photo collection view. Of course, this can be also used inside Nautilus eg. for watching slide shows. Optionally, Eye of Gnome can make use of EXIF information, stored in digital camera images (see README for more details). I really encourage everyone to try this release out and report bugs and feature enhancements to bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org, module EOG). Enhancements ============ * Architectual changes (Jens) * Build image collection component always (this is also usable in Nautilus as photo collection view) (Jens) * Collection view shows the selected image in the top half of the window (Jens) * Support for thumbnail management spec (Jens) * Adaption to content size works better (Jens) * Sticky zoom to fit (if you resize the window the image zoom will be adapted automatically) (Jens) * Progressive image loading for remote or large files - #89831 (Jens) * EXIF support in collection view (requires optional libexif) (Jens) * Correct filename escaping - #105192, #95561, #104961 (Federico) * Session recovery fixes - #108829 (Shivaram Upadhyayula) * File selector improvements - #101888, #102116, #90767, #102117 (Jens) * More HIG compatible - #106169, #100206 (Jens) * Use 'Image Viewer' in .desktop entry - #100205 (Elle Uca) * Require libeel (Federico) * Compiler warning fixes - #108342 (Kelledin, Jens) * Don't close preferences on ESC - #105720 (Jens) * Updates of strings to translate - #99572 (Jens) * GConf configure fixes - #106130 (Julio Merino) * Translation Updates: Roozbeh Pournader (fa), FSF-India (ml), Metin Amiroff (az), Paul Duffy (ga), Belarusian team (be), Christophe Merlet (fr) Download ======== http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/eog/2.3/eog-2.3.0.tar.gz GNOME Software Map entry ======================== http://www.gnome.org/softwaremap/projects/eog Best wishes, Jens _____________________________________________
Anjuta 1.0.2
Dear all, We're pleased to announce the release of Anjuta 1.0.2 (Tagore). This is the latest stable release of Anjuta, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for GNOME. This release includes numerous enhancements and bugfixes. This anjuta release is likely to be the last one from the GNOME 1.x platform. Future releases will be targetted towards the GNOME 2 platform. Porting is well under way in HEAD CVS and we are close to an alpha release. The significant new feature in this release is an advanced search/replace implementation which, in our humble opinion, is the most powerful search/replace functionality you will find in any IDE. It includes support for perl regular expressions, search in project files, replace using regular expression backreferences in multiple files and a lot more !

Fifth release of PythonCAD
I'd like to announce the fifth release of PythonCAD, a CAD package for open-source software users. As the name implies, PythonCAD is written entirely in Python. The goal of this project is to create a fully scriptable drafting program that will match and eventually exceed features found in commercial CAD software. PythonCAD is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). PythonCAD requires Python 2.2. The interface is GTK 2.0 based, and uses the PyGTK module for interfacing to GTK. The design of PythonCAD is built around the idea of separating the interface from the back end as much as possible. By doing this, it is hoped that both GNOME and KDE interfaces can be added to PythonCAD through usage of the appropriate Python module. Addition of other interfaces will depend on the availability of a Python module for that particular interface and developer interest and action. The fifth release adds the first appearance of a global and user preferences file. Dimensions can now display endpoint markers like arrows and slashes, though the size these objects are displayed at is currently fixed. This limitation should be removed in one of the next two releases. The first implementation of leader lines has been added as well. This release also has many internal changes in preparation for adding hatching. There are also new methods for finding entities in a drawing. Finally, the usual assortment of bug fixes and code tweaks are included. By the way, a screenshot showing the dimension endpoints and leader line has been added to the screenshot page at the web site. In response to user feedback, drawing files are now saved with a '.gz' extension. The files have always been saved in a compressed format, but the name did not indicate this. With this change it should be more evident that the PythonCAD files are not stored in an uncompressed format. With this release I am also making a request for help in setting up a mailing list. The lack of a mailing list for people interested in working on PythonCAD to find one another and discuss development issues is a hindrance in adding developers to the project. I do not have the hardware or connection to set up a mailing list on my own, so I would appreciate a few suggestions for sites willing to provide this service. Visit the PythonCAD web site for more information about what PythonCAD does and aims to be: http://www.pythoncad.org Come and join me in developing PythonCAD into a world class drafting program!
