GNOME Shell 3.3.5 released

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.

Mutter 3.3.5 released

About Mutter
============

Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages
your desktop via OpenGL. 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.

Meld 1.5.3 released

Meld 1.5.3 has been released.

Aside from all the very-wonderful features and fixes, we now have a new website!
    http://meldmerge.org
It's kind of like the old one, except that it's been updated this
decade. It's really very exciting. Of course, you'll probably only go
there long enough to click on the big ol' download button, and that
link is at the bottom of this email anyway, so... yeah. Not that
exciting I suppose.

  New features:

    * Add simple animations for chunk actions to make it easier to follow the
      result of insertion and deletion actions (Kai Willadsen)
    * Show the currently displayed page area in the side bars (Kai Willadsen)

  Fixes:

    * Don't show links between chunks where one of the chunks is completely
      off-screen, reducing visual clutter (Kai Willadsen)
    * Syntax highlighting will now assume that all files in a comparison are
      of the same type if we can't determine otherwise (Kai Willadsen)
    * Some fixes to colour usage and legibility for dark themes, with more
      theme fixes coming soon (Kai Willadsen)
    * Remember active filters across sessions in directory and VC comparions
      (Kai Willadsen)
    * Guess which version control system a user is most likely to want to see,
      in the event of multiple VCs in a single working copy (Kai Willadsen)
    * Work with Subversion 1.7 (Kai Willadsen)
    * Many sundry bug fixes (Aaron Schrab, Julian Taylor, Kai Willadsen)
