gnome-vfsmm 1.3.0
*** gnome-vfsmm
gnome-vfsmm wraps the gnome-vfs API for C++. It will soon be part of gnomemm.
This is the first release. It's been quickly thrown together.
Here is the current API:
http://www.gtkmm.org/gnomemm2/reference/html/namespaceGnome_1_1Vfs.html
And here are some small examples:
http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gnomemm/gnome-vfsmm/examples/
(look in the tarball if that does not show 2 examples yet)
In particular there are the following simple issues. _You_ need to help with these:
- Some of the methods in Gnome::Vfs::Uri should probably be in Gnome::Vfs::Handle
as overloaded static methods.
- The exception class needs to provide details.
- We need to use namespaced C++ enums - we should probably patch gnome-vfs to
register the enums as GTypes.
- We probably need to close handles (if they are open) in the destructors.
- There is more API to be wrapped.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1161
You will need some other *mm libraries available from the same place.
You will also need the lastest orbitcpp 1.3.x:

Hardware Monitor 0.3
Coparticipants in this world,
The announcement of a former release of the Hardware Monitor
(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2003-February/msg00025.html)
seemed to be suggest that overheating a computer is a good thing for
your health.
Several readers have pointed out that this is _not_ the case; in fact
the smoke from a burning computer case may pose a serious threat. As
one reader puts it, "Hadn't it been for the 150 liters of water that
is circulated in the water cooling system I've setup, I would probably
have died, choking on my knees as I was. Next time I'll save the
gasoline for the grill."
So what is one to do? One possibility is to monitor the temperature of
your CPU. Then you at least get an early warning. Since today, the
Hardware Monitor can do that for you!
What's new:
- support for lm-sensors monitoring of CPU temperature
- the applet now automatically suggest different colours (from the HIG)
- minor UI fixes
Features:
- monitor CPU/memory/swap/disk usage, load average, Ethernet/modem
throughput, CPU temperature
- multiple views that all support multiple monitors:
o a curve view with smooth lines
o a bar view for the traditional horizontal bars
o a text view for those who want extreme precision
o a flame view to impress your friends
- a modular design for future enhancements
- well-behaved GNOME panel applet (no floating gkrellm-windows)
- a Danish translation :-)
Version 0.3 can be downloaded from here:
http://www.cs.auc.dk/~olau/hardware-monitor/
Screenshots are also available from the above page. The applet
requires Gnome 2.2 and the gtkmm and gnomemm-all libraries from
www.gtkmm.org.
Note that you need to install libsensors and setup lm-sensors with
your kernel if you want to monitor the CPU temperature.

gnome-mime-data 2.3.0
GNOME-MIME-DATA 2.3.0 released
gnome-mime-data defines the standard mime-types-recognized by GNOME
applications such as Nautilus. This release adds support for
mime-types related to themus Nautilus theme view, for iPod support,
monkeys-audio support, new
programming language related mime-types and more.
Graphics artists who find that GNOME does not currently support a
mime-type they have made icons for, please contant me and I get it into
the next 2.3.x development release.
While the package name is 2.3 this release will work with all GNOME 2.x
releases, so even if you are running an older version of GNOME 2, you
can install and use this package.
You can download latest version here:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-mime-data/2.3/
Sincerely,
Christian
