GDM 2.4.4.1
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT
(If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down
first)
Got your attention with the release name huh? Well now that
whole GNOME distributions are named for triggerhappy wankers who
commanded armies that killed lots of people, I thought I’d get more
recent. I suppose now we can excpect releases like “Saddam
Hussain”, “Stalin” or “Martha Stewart”.
Now that the silliness is over with (is it ever over?). There’s
not much new in this release compared to 2.4.4.0 except for a
little bit of cleanup. Also the .dmrc format written now is the
same as the one that will be in KDM when the next KDE comes out.
GDM will now work with both versions (we now don’t include the
“.desktop” in the session name). On the downside the session
directories are only about 90% compatible and they’re going to be
set differently. In GDM we use /etc/X11/dm/Sessions, but KDM (and
some GDM version in the very near future) will use
/etc/X11/sessions and have default, custom and failsafe built in
(GDM only has failsafe built in now).
Oh well, enough of technical details. As part of the cleanup, I
cleaned up the random number stuff a little bit and it’s even a few
bits more random for people that don’t have a nice hardware
randomness device or enough kernel entropy.
Also this release has more translations.
And now for the standard part of the release announcement:
GDM is the GNOME Display Manager, it is the little proggie that
runs in the background, runs your X sessions, presents you with a
login box and then tells you to piss off because you forgot your
password. It does pretty much everything that you would want to use
xdm for, but doesn’t involve as much crack. It doesn’t use any code
from xdm, and has a more paranoid and safer design overall. It also
includes many features over xdm, the biggest one of which is that
it is more user friendly, even if your X setup is failing. The goal
is that users should never, ever have to use the command line to
customize or troubleshoot gdm. It of course supports xdmcp, and in
fact extends xdmcp a little bit in places where I thought xdm was
lacking (but is still compatible with xdm’s xdmcp).
News:
Highlights of 2.4.4.1:
- Update the manual a bit
- Some internal cleanup
- Be ultra anal with creating the user protocol socket
- Don’t fall back to ‘nobody’ if the gdm user is not found (that
is a horrible behaviour) - Support and write KDM style .dmrc (KDM will use this in the
next version). Still KDM will use /etc/X11/sessions, and we’re
using /etc/X11/dm/Sessions, oh well, life can’t be perfect, next
time … - Translation updates (Andras Timar, Pablo Saratxaga, Vincent van

Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen
<[email protected]>, and has for a
while now been maintained by the Queen of England. She is usually
not responsive to bug reports or feature requests. You can try to
send them to me however.
Note2: If installing from the tarball do note that make install
overwrites most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf. It will
however save backups with the .orig extension first.
Note3: Note3 has been depracated …

Sorry no RPMS. There is a spec file included in the tarball and
it should work. So generate an rpm with
rpmbuild -ta gdm-whatever.tar.gz/
Have fun (or whatever else you wish to be having),

PS: Wooga wooga wooga. See the first line of the announcement
made sense and wasn’t a random noise, so I have do do random noises
here. Eki eki wooooo, bumbglee. Pffffft (you probably noticed I
like this sound a lot, along with “eki eki”, I’m not really sure
which I like better)

gdome2-0.8.0
Hello guys!
The gdome2 release 0.8.0 codename “Bagheera” is out!!
- News
- Refactured the event propagation mechanims: now it’s faster and
it implements better the DOM Level 2 specifications. - Added mechanism for filtering out event generation, on a
per-event basis. This way, say you know you’re going to build a
document from scratch and are not interested in capturing events,
you can disable all (or a subset) of them. - Refactered and improved the gdome2 garbage collection. The
older mechanism for node gc was far more complicated than
necessary. For this reason, the GC mechanism has been
rewritten. - Many bugs related to APIs that manage namespaces has been
fixed.
- Refactured the event propagation mechanims: now it’s faster and
- Refactoring Results
Just to give you an idea of the improvements we were able to
achieve, with disabled events: creation of a large MathML document
(288K of source XML) fell from more than 30 sec to 0.33 sec. With
events enabled the time is 0.66 sec. - Acknowledgments
I am grateful for the support received from the members of the
MoWGLI project (http://mowgli.cs.unibo.it), who
contributed extensively to the improvements of this release. - Description:
gdome2 is meant to be an easy to use, fast, light-weight DOM
Level 2 implementation library for the C programming language. It
aims at standard compliance and it relies on libxml2. A DOM
Implementation makes a XML or a HTML document available for
processing and traversal of a XML document by means of a standard
set of interfaces.
Although gdome2 has been written as part of the GNOME project, it
can be used stand-alone. One of its main strenghts is that wrappers
for other programming languages can be easily written on top of it
(and, for the most part, they can be generated automatically thanks
to the uniformity of DOM interfaces) so to make it quickly
available to a wide range of users. - Features
- Supports the following DOM Level 2 modules:
- “Core”;
- “XML”;
- “Events”;
- “MutationEvents”.
- Partially supports the following DOM Level 3 modules:
- “XPath”.
- Exports an object oriented interface.
- Provides a reference counting system that is responsible of all
memory management issues.
- Supports the following DOM Level 2 modules:
- Resources

Inti 1.2
Application
Inti 1.2
Description
The Integrated Foundation Classes, are a set of C++ classes for
developing Gnome and GTK+ applications on UNIX-like systems such as
Linux. They are designed to work nicely with the GNU toolchain and
take advantage of the standard C++ features provided by the GNU
compiler. Currently there are two modules, the core application
development platform Inti and a binding for the Gnome Configuration
System Inti-GConf.
Inti combines the power of GTK+ and the power of C++ into a
state-of-the-art GUI toolkit that makes developing applications
easy, intuitive and efficient. There are more than 400 classes that
wrap most of the objects found in the ATK, GDK, GDK-PIXBUF, GLIB,
GTK and Pango libraries. It has its own system of signals and slots
which make using native GTK signals or creating your own signals
easy. There is a standard string compatible UTF-8 string class, a
full set of simple example programs, a C++ version of the GTK+
demonstration program, extensive reference documentation and a
tutorial.
Enhancements in 1.2
- Several Gdk and Gtk API improvements.
- Added wrapper classes for most of the remaining GLib
structs. - Added Thread support and several thread examples and
tests. - Added a thread section to the Inti tutorial.
- Added some missing UTF-8 String methods.
- Improved the appearence of the reference documentation.
Fixes
- Fixed GCC 2.95.x and 3.3.x compiler problems.
- Removed all the obselete boolean is_xxx() widget methods.
- Changed several String function declarations to static class
members. - Fixed broken widget child properties
- Fixed a segfault in Gtk::TextIter forward and backward search
methods.
