[ANNOUNCE] GARNOME 2.14.2

GARNOME 2.14.2
==============

The "These Boots are made for Walking" release.

We are pleased to announce the release of GARNOME 2.14.2. This release
incorporates the GNOME 2.14.2 Desktop and Developer Platform, fine-tuned
and updated with love by the GARNOME Team.

As usual it includes updates and fixes after the official GNOME freeze,
together with a host of third-party GNOME packages, Bindings and the
Mono(tm) Platform -- this is the third release of the current stable
GNOME branch, ironing out yet-more bugs, hopefully adding yet-more
stability and ships with the latest and greatest stable releases.

As usual, you can get the tarball directly from the gnome.org site:
 http://download.gnome.org/sources/garnome/2.14/

If you got any issues with this release, feel free to contact the
GARNOMEies in the #garnome channel on GIMPNet (irc://irc.gnome.org),
where we hang out, or post to the mailing list.

More information is available at our project website:
 http://www.gnome.org/projects/garnome/

Enjoy,

  The GARNOME Team

GLib 2.11.2 released

GLib 2.11.2 is now available for download at:

   ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.11/
   http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glib/2.11/

glib-2.11.2.tar.bz2	md5sum: 18464b85bfd589f83897623c637a1553
glib-2.11.2.tar.gz	md5sum: f728cd295ac98d4b95d850fe91c05fd5

This is a development release leading up to GLib 2.12.  

Notes:

 * This is unstable development release. While it has had
   a bit of testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs
   remaining to be found. This release should not be used
   in production.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
   copy of GLib 2.10. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GLib 2.10.

 * GLib 2.12 will be source and binary compatible with
   the GLib 2.10.x series (for some caveats, see the 
   README). At this point, the API additions in the
   2.11.x series are almost finished. 

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.

GTK+ 2.9.2 released

GTK+ 2.9.2 is now available for download at:

   http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gtk+/2.9/

gtk+-2.9.2.tar.gz	md5sum: c63e7d0cf7c4e983206c3088a0fb8862
gtk+-2.9.2.tar.bz2	md5sum: 17629437af44fce03485101371c8f041

This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.10.  

Notes:

 * This is unstable development release. There are certainly 
   plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This release should 
   not be used in production.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
   copy of GTK+ 2.8. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GTK+ 2.8.

 * GTK+ 2.10 will be source compatible with the GTK+ 2.8 series; 
   the new API additions in GTK+ 2.9.0 are not yet completely 
   finalized, so there are likely incompatibilies between this 
   release and the final 2.10 release.

 * The ABI version has been bumped from 2.4.0 to 2.10.0, since
   the filechooser backend interface has been changed. Third-party
   filechooser backends need to be ported to the new interface.
   Other third-party modules (input methods, image loaders, etc) 
   just need to be reinstalled in the proper location for GTK+ to 
   find them.

It may be inconvenient for any hack sessions done at GUADEC if it leaves
people with too little time to convert their laptop checkouts properly,
or if anything goes wrong with the conversion.

I don't know if that's important enough of a reason, but it'd be too bad
if we'd be stifling the surge of activity at GUADEC.

System Tools Backends 1.9.0 released

The System Tools Backends version 1.9.0 "Pluto tan" have been released.

This is the first release towards 2.x series, which will feature DBus
interfaces to access data, signals to notify asynchronously about
modifications in the configuration and a cleaner codebase. If you're
interested in the 1.4.x series, checkout the stb-1-4 CVS branch.

The System Tools Backends are a set of cross-platform modules for Linux,
FreeBSD and other Unix systems. The backends provide an common DBus
interface to all distros for modifying or reading the system
configuration.

Right now the System Tools Backends fully support various distros/OS
such as: Redhat, Mandrake, SuSE, Fedora, Debian (and derivations like
Ubuntu, Linex, Guadalinex...), Gentoo, Slackware, FreeBSD, OpenNA, PLD,
Vine and Specifix.

[Announce] The Scw library version 0.4.4

I'm happy to announce a new release of Scw, the chat-oriented widget set!
(I have a broken memory chip, didn't remember to send announcements for the
releases between 0.3.0 and 0.4.4...)

What's new?
=========

The release 0.4.4 includes the following changes (from 0.3.0):

 * Bugfixes:
   - Draw much less (but still enough ;)
   - Fix memory leaks

 * API changes:
   - scw_view_set_column_foldable():
       Add a boolean argument to control the foldability
       (previously you couldn't undo setting foldability)
   - New signal: "buffer-request"
   - New method: scw_view_scroll_to_row():
       Scrolls the view to given row (a GtkTreePath)

 * Gtk-docs, at last!

(and possibly more, but haven't managed to keep track of all the
individual fixes)

What is it?
=======

Scw is a library that includes widgets designed for chat programs.

GDM2 2.8.0.8 (stable), the "SecurityFix" Release]


AOOH-GAH
--------

(If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down first)

The 2.8.0.8 release is a stable release of GDM (note GDM 2.8.0.8
corresponds with gnome-2-12 branch) with the following new features.
Note this contains an important security fix, so users and distros
should update immediately.

- Correction for serious security issue where the user can enter the
   GDM configuration GUI with a user password when the Face Browser
   is enabled.  Refer to bugzilla.gnome.org bug #343476 (Brian
   Cameron)  This issue impacts all versions of GDM 2.8.0.0-2.8.0.7,
   2.14.0-2.14.7, and 2.15.0-2.15.3.  This issue was reported to
   vendor-sec one week ago and has ID #CVE-2006-2452.

- Translation updates (Stanislav Brabec, Josep Puigdemont i
   Casamaj\303\263, Abel Cheung, Priit Laes, Christophe Merlet, Clytie
   Siddall, \303\205smund Skj\303\246veland, Tommi Vainikainen)

Note:  GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <mkp <at> mkp.net>.
Much work has been done on GDM2 by George Lebl, and Brian Cameron
currently shares maintainership duties with the Queen of England.

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.

   vendor-sec one week ago and has ID #CVE-2006-2452.

- Fixed bug where when the "Include All" button is modified in the
   Users tab, the Automatic/Timed login dropdown lists update
   properly.  (Brian Cameron)

- Now gdmflexiserver calls gdmcomm_check with FALSE so it will not
   pop up a dialog.  gdmflexiserver can be run with the --command
   option which can be used when the user does not have permission to
   a DISPLAY, so trying to show a dialog was causing gdmflexiserver
   to core dump when the check failed.   (Brian Cameron)

- Added gestures to the AccessKeyMouseEvents configuration file
   so that users can access more accessibility features using
   dwell gestures.  (Brian Cameron)
