GNOME Shell 2.91.90 released
GNOME Shell 2.91.90 is now available at: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-shell/2.91 0cb01d1b9cdd060883a88fab9377b8c4498ac24a967c5135e6ab6c05f598e332 gnome-shell-2.91.90.tar.bz2 20e41afe1e1528856d158663a5ff4aa08feddc66d3861ecc1ce55ea44867f991 gnome-shell-2.91.90.tar.gz This release just about concludes user interface changes anticipated before GNOME 3.0. The only significant change we expect after this release is to add a native network indicator based on NetworkManager 0.9. About GNOME Shell = GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3 desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience. Tarball releases are provided largely for distributions to build packages. If you are interested in building GNOME Shell from source, we would recommend building from version control using the build script described at: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell Not only will that give you the very latest version of this rapidly changing project, it will be much easier than get GNOME Shell and its dependencies to build from tarballs. Changes since 2.91.6 * Workspace handling [Owen, Jakub] - Replace existing workspace controls in the overview with a vertical list of workspace thumbnails. - Change workspace orientationin the main view to vertical - Workspaces are automatically managed - empty workspaces are removed, other than the last workspace which is always empty - a new workspace is added when something is started on that workspace. - Add ability to change workspace by mousewheel scrolling over thumbnails [Sardem FF7] * Add a PolicyKit authentication agent; requests to the user for authentication from PolicyKit now show up as shell-themed dialogs.

Mutter combines a sophisticated display engine using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic inherited from the Metacity window manager. While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be used as the display core of a larger system such as GNOME Shell. For this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which are used both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window management behaviors to meet the needs of the environment.

ANNOUNCE: AT-SPI2 1.91.90 released
AT-SPI2 1.91.90 is now available for download at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/pyatspi/1.91/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/at-spi2-core/1.91/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/at-spi2-atk/1.91/ Notes = The --enable-relocate option has been removed. It was only intended as a temporary hack to simplify testing, was hard to set up, and seemed to cause problems (ie, BGO#641869). Distributions that still package AT-SPI-CORBA may want to mark it as conflicting with AT-SPI2. A list of work required before the full release can be found at: http://www.a11y.org/d-bus What's changed in AT-SPI2 1.91.90 === * [core/ATK] BGO#641164: Fixed several build errors. * [core/ATK] Fixed some memory leaks and possible crashes. * [core/pyatspi] Some selection fixes. * [core] Fixed wrong introspection information in some places. * [all] BGO#641869: Removed the --enable-relocate option. * [core] Avoid returning uninitialized data on error for some methods. * [core/atk] Use the new GSettings key to test that accessibility is enabled. * [core] Change some enums from 16-bit to 32-bit to match spec. * [atk] Fix for BGO#641338: Avoid crashing when unable to listen for p2p connections. * [atk] Set /tmp/at-spi2 to be world-writable. * [pyatspi] Refactor EditableText so that text methods can be called from it. * [pyatspi] Make state accessible through pyatspi.constants. What is AT-SPI2 === AT-SPI2 is a D-Bus based accessibility framework. It defines a D-Bus protocol for providing and accessing application accessibility information. The project includes a library for bridging the D-Bus protocol to the ATK API, allowing Gtk based applications to be made accessible. It also contains a client (AT) side library in Python. Where can I get more information about AT-SPI2 == The project wiki is available at: http://www.a11y.org/d-bus How can I contribute to AT-SPI2? We are actively seeking contributors to help us make this the standard a11y framework for Gnome. We need help testing with Gnome accessibility technologies, improving performance, and generally tying up loose ends. The above-referenced page contains a list of known issues that should be fixed.

ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 2.99.5
*** gtkmm 2.99: gtkmm 2.99 (previously 2.90 and 2.91) wraps GTK+ 2.99. It is the gtkmm-3.0 ABI and installs in parallel with the gtkmm-2.4 ABI, of which gtkmm 2.24 is currently the latest stable version. This allows application developers to start using it when they choose to, without being forced, and without breaking existing installed applications. gtkmm-3.0 will be mostly API-compatible with gtkmm-2.4, though some changes will be needed in application source code. gtkmm stays in-sync with GTK+ by following the official GNOME release schedule: http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/ Bindings for the rest of the GNOME Platform are also available, and are also API-stable. http://www.gtkmm.org *** Changes 2.99.5 (unstable): NOTE: We want to freeze the API for a stable release fairly soon, so please do try to port your application to gtkmm-3.0 and tell us about any problems. Gtk: * ButtonBox, Separator, Scale, Scrollbar: Add public constructors. (Murray Cumming) * CellArea, CellRenderer: Added get_request_mode(), get_preferred_[width|height_for_width|height|width_for_height] vfuncs. (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #639073, * CellView: Derive from Orientable and add set/get_draw_sensitive(), set/get_fit_model() and the new properties. * EntryCompletion: Derive from Buildable and add the cell-area property. * IconView: Added the cell_area property. * Image: Added the set_fallback property. * Paned: Constructor: Add an optional orientation parameter. * Widget: Added should_draw_window() and transform_cairo_context_to_window(). (Murray Cumming) *** Development There is active discussion on the mailing list: http://www.gtkmm.org/mailinglist.shtml and in the #c++ channel on irc.gnome.org -- Murray Cumming murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com ___ gnome-announce-list mailing list gnome-announce-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list
