intltool 0.26
A new release of the intltool package is available; this time codenamed
"No, you are kidding? I thought there was only one language in this
world". The intltool package is a set of tools for
translating the contents of data files using the gettext translation
framework.
As always we suggest everyone to upgrade - especially those having
problems with double encoded UTF-8 ;-)
Some of the changes in intltool since version 0.26:
- Handle no translations in get_newest_po_age (Rodney Dawes)
- Cleaned up tests and fixed few bugs (Kenneth)
- Send error messages to stderr, and fix other similar bugs
(bug #105013, Denis Barbier)
- handle using a different output file. (James Henstridge)
- Correct the invocation of INTLTOOL_MERGE. (bug #106898, Malcolm
Tredinnick)
- Extract attributes in XML when there are spaces arount the equal
sign (Alberto Manuel Brand?o Sim?es)
- use iconv -f, instead of iconv --f (bug #105181, Hidetoshi Tajima)
- Added variable substitution. (Kenneth)
- Added small section for packages not using the aufo* tools
(Kenneth)
- Call msgmerge with options before non-options to fix potential
non-GNU getopt issues. (Gregory Stark, Jordi Mallach)
- Make it work when running an UTF-8 locale (Kenneth)
- Fix some iconv/charset issues (bug #113121, Morten Welinder)
You can find the source code for intltool 0.27 on GNOME FTP site:
<ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/intltool/0.26/>
If you have problems with intltool, please report bugs at
bugzilla.gnome.org. And if you are good at auto*, perl then please take
a look at the hard-to-fix bugs.

gnome-games 2.3.2
I am pleased to announce the release of:
gnome-games "The Freecell Players Will Lynch Me" 2.3.2
It can of course be found at
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-games/2.3/
in both gzip and bzip2 format.
The stand-alone freecell game has been removed from this distribution and
replaced with a special mode of AisleRiot. Gnibbles and gnobots are both
back.
>From the NEWS file:
There have been some major changes with gnome-games. Gnobots2 and
Gnibbles are back, but Freecell has been removed. There are also 30%
fewer bugs than in 2.3.1.
Freecell addicts shouldn't panic: there is still a Freecell icon.
It links directly to the AisleRiot version of freecell. There are two
features that are known to be missing:
1) There is no score dialog. If there is demand I will write a new
one for AisleRiot.
2) The translations will be marginally worse. AisleRiot has some
"interesting" issues regarding scheme and gettext. The fundamental
problem has been resolved, but none of the issues it caused have
been fixed yet, this will happen in 2.3.3.
If any other favourite feature of freecell is missing, file a bug report.
The source for xbill and freecell are still available in the CVS
module gnome-games-deprecated. They are not currently buildable. Xbill
is also available (in a usable form) at www.xbill.org/.
Here are the major changes:
aisleriot:
Gettext is now called from within scheme. There is no real
change yet, but we should be able to improve the
translations in the future.
If --variation is used then it is only applied to that
instance of the program.
gataxx:
It actually works now. At least we know the sanity checks
work, pity the schema wasn't sane.
gdk-card-image:
The library has been moved to its own directory. Build
problems on *BSD should now be resolved.
gnome-stones:
HIG cleanups.
gnomine:
Improvements to the contrast between cleared and uncleared
cells. The window doesn't resize when it looses focus.
Also added checks to limit the number of mines to the field size.
gnotravex:
A tile corruption bug has been fixed. Gnotravex is now bug-free
(TM).
gtali: The binary is now 100k lighter thanks to careful use of
colour-reduction.
libgames-support:
HIG and i18n fixups.
mahjongg:
HIG cleanups.
same-gnome:
Cleaner preferences dialog.
There has also been an effort to limit the number of dialog boxes
asking "Are you sure ...". This is an ongoing project.
