Good morning (again) campers! After a long gestation, the next release of GNOME Do and its plugins is now ready to enter alpha testing. While the new features and code are now nearly complete, there are still some edges to knock off. Help us do this by testing, and filing bugs!
Some of the new features include: * For the users: - shiny new Do themes, with animations. * Items with children now have arrows indicating the fact. No more right-arrowing just to see if it works! * New interface style: Docky. A panel interface for Do, dynamically showing the top-relevance items in Do's universe. Docky displays running processes, and supports drag-and-drop of items to and from the panel. Also has sweet, smooth zoom! * A new all-in-one plugins tarball! Now contains both official and community plugins, for a total of 57 plugins currently available. In return, online repositories have been dropped; there are too many bugs they cause that we can't fix. * For the hackers: - Pluggable interfaces, making new UIs easier to write and ship - Core is now mostly a set of (hopefully) cross-platform interfaces with pluggable implementations. This should make porting Do to Windows and OS X easier. - The plugin API has changed. Arrays have been replaced with IEnumerables across the board. So, time for testers to step up! - Tarballs can be found on Launchpad - Core at https://launchpad.net/do/+download and plugins at https://launchpad.net/do-plugins/+download - Intrepid packages can be found in the do-testers PPA at http://launchpad.net/~do-testers/+archive - SuSE users can use the Mono:Community repositories * http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/Mono:Community/openSUSE_11.0/gnome-do.ymp for SuSE 11.0 * http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/Mono:Community/openSUSE_11.1/gnome-do.ymp for SuSE 11.1 Get cracking! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GNOME Do" group.
