ANNOUNCE: GNOME Speech API (GSAPI) - v0.6.0


Specification
=============

GNOME Speech API (GSAPI) v0.6.0

Description
===========

The GNOME Speech API (GSAPI) allows developers to incorporate speech
technology into user interfaces for their GNOME applications. This API
specifies a cross-platform interface to support command and control
recognizers, dictation systems and speech synthesizers.

It has been heavily influenced by the Java Speech API (see:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/speech for more details).

This GSAPI release is just a specification, not an implementation.
The plan is to release it to the GNOME community for review. From
feedback provided by reviewers and our attempts to implement the API
as defined, the specification will be refined until it provides a
clean and consistent API. This will then be GNOME Speech v1.0.

Please send questions and comments about this specification to either
the authors (as listed in the AUTHORS file), the Desktop Development
mailing list (desktop-devel-list <at> gnome.org) or the GNOME Accessibility
mailing list <gnome-accessibility-list <at> gnome.org>

Note that there is currently already a gnome-speech CVS module on
cvs.gnome.org. This provides a simple text-to-speech (TTS) API that

Gnome-games 2.3.6

Gnome-games 2.3.6 is now available at the usual location (and mirrors):

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-games/2.3/

It isn't mentioned properly in the release notes, but between pixmap
sharing and documentation graphics with better compression this
release is a whopping 1.5 meg smaller than 2.3.5.

The usual release notes follow,

 - Callum

gnome-games "It's For Your Own Good" 2.3.6
==========================================

This release is in theory a good facsimile of what 2.4.0 will look
like. The most obvious change will be that the documentation is now
mostly up-to-date. 

All games should now have state-sensitive undo and redo buttons as
well as full keyboard navigation for the preferences.

The bug count is now about a third of what it was at the start of the
2.3 series. Since there is no recent 2.2.x release of gnome-games this
can be considered a substitute, it compiles under the GNOME 2.2
environment without problems.

Changes by game:

GNOME Development Series Desktop 2.3.5: "Jebe"

GNOME Development Series Desktop 2.3.5: "Jebe"
==============================================

The GNOME Development Series Desktop 2.3.5 "Jebe", is ready for your
bug-busting and testing pleasure! It is available for immediate download on
ftp.gnome.org and mirrors:

  http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.3/2.3.5/sources/

  tar.gz:   124M total
  tar.bz2:  92M total

For Developers and Testers!
---------------------------

This release is a feature-frozen, development series snapshot. It is used by
developers and testers as their day-to-day working desktop, and is ready for
wider testing by our user community. Like the Linux kernel, GNOME uses odd
minor version numbers to indicate development status, so this 2.3.x series
will eventually become the official 2.4 release. Please check the 2.3 start
page for more information: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.3/

Build Requirements
------------------

  - The tarballs included in the release. :-)

  - Some very basic packages not distributed with this release, such as
    image libraries, popt and freetype. These should all be included with or
    available for your distribution.
