ANNOUNCE: gnome-gpg 0.5.0

I've just released version 0.5.0 of gnome-gpg, which is available here:

    http://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-gpg/0.5/

Gnome-gpg is a command line wrapper for GPG that presents a graphical
passphrase entry dialog and optionally allows the user to store their
passphrase in the Gnome keyring (either the session keyring or the
permanent one).

Changes in this release include:

 * Use the same gnome-keyring item name as Seahorse does, so that the
   user only needs to enter their passphrase once.

 * Detect if gnome-keyring is available.  If it isn't do not show the
   "save password" checkboxes, and don't attempt to save the passphrase.

 * If the user got their passphrase incorrect, include some text to
   this effect in the dialog.

 * Swipe the man page from the Debian package.

James.

GTetrinet 0.7.10

Application
===========

GTetrinet 0.7.10

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

GTetrinet is a Tetrinet client for GNOME. Tetrinet is a variant of the
popular Tetris brick game, that can be played simultaneously by 6 players.
GTetrinet's goal is to remain completely compatible with the Windows,
original client.

Notes

This is a SECURITY RELEASE to plug some potential underflows in the
network code (CVE-2006-3125).

Besides the security fixes, there are a number of new and updated
translations, and other minor fixes.

The GTetrinet team is looking for people interested in helping out, as
the development is basically halted. This is the first release since
April 2005! If you're interested, please contact us at

Announcing Orca v1.0.0

===============
* What is Orca?
===============

Orca is a free, open source, flexible, and extensible screen reader
that provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable
combinations of speech, braille, and/or magnification.  Orca has been
been developed by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility Program
Office via continued engagement with its end users.  In fact, the user
interface designer for Orca is also a user.

Orca works with applications and toolkits that support the assistive
technology service provider interface (AT-SPI), which is the primary
assistive technology infrastructure for the Solaris and Linux
operating environments.  Applications and toolkits supporting the
AT-SPI include the GNOME GTK+ toolkit, the Java platform's Swing
toolkit, OpenOffice, and Mozilla.  AT-SPI support for the KDE Qt
toolkit is currently being pursued.

The focus for Orca v1.0.0 has been to provide usable access to key
office productivity applications, including the following:

Application Class        Application
-----------------        -----------
Graphical Desktop        GNOME 2.16 Desktop
Help                     yelp v2.16
Simple Text Editing      gedit v2.16
Terminal                 gnome-terminal v2.16
E-mail                   evolution v2.8

applications, and actually allow access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase,
SQLite, FireBird/Interbase, IBM DB2, mSQL and MS SQL server, as well as
MS Access and xBase files and ODBC data sources.

libgda/libgnomedb are part of the GNOME Office application suite, providing
database access for many features in both Gnumeric and Abiword.

Here is a basic summary of the changes compared with the current stable series:
Compared with the current stable series, this version offers major new
features and corrections:
- added a dictionary object to store all the meta-data regarding a
connection (database structure, data types, etc)
- better support of various data models properties (updatable, non
updatable, large result sets)
- new types of data model (to import XML, CSV data and to proxy changes)
- added support for DDL queries (CREATE TABLE, etc)
- usage of per-provider data conversion objects to completely
encapsulate the way each DBMS handles data types
- Use generic GValue containers when possible
- new tools

This version is not API compatible with the current stable series.

Changes from version 1.9.102 include:
