Announce: GARNOME 2.22.2 -- "The Music Never Stops"

GARNOME 2.22.2  -- The "The Music Never Stops" release.
==============

Sorry for being a little late again. Life is keeping me busy. But hey,
that additional time helped us getting in even more fixes. :)

We are pleased to announce the release of GARNOME 2.22.2. This is the
third stable release in the 2.22 cycle, incorporating the GNOME 2.22.2
Desktop and Developer Platform, fine-tuned with love by the GARNOME
Team.

It includes a wealth of new application releases, updated translations
and bug fixes as part of this GNOME release -- as well as updates and
fixes after the GNOME freeze, a host of third-party GNOME packages,
Bindings and the Mono(tm) Platform.

As usual, you can get the tarball directly from the gnome.org site:
 http://download.gnome.org/sources/garnome/2.22/

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.

[Announce] PySwfdec 0.6.6.2

I am pleased to announce version 0.6.6.2 of the Python bindings for
PySwfdec.

It is available at:
http://www.gnome.org/~gianmt/pyswfdec-0.6.6.2.tar.gz
MD5: d490f54816535468225e65a605c3763c

The bindings are updated with the new Swfdec API 0.6.6

PySwfdec 0.6.6.2     (Jun 01 2008)
===================================

    o Fix swfdec.URL and make AsDebugger optional in
      swfdec.Player constructor. (Gian Mario)
    o Manually wrap swfdec.ui.Player constructor. (Gian Mario)
    o Make a very simple (but working this time..) example. (Gian Mario)
    o Manually wrap swfdec_player_render to work around a segfault
      (possibly pycairo API change). (Gian Mario)
    o Restore swfdec.Audio. (Gian Mario)
    o Rewrite the docs. (Gian Mario)
    o Fix function names. (Gian Mario)

Blurb:
======
Swfdec [1] is the library for decoding and rendering Flash animations.
It is still in heavy development. The intended audience are developers or people
using it for pretested Flash animations (think embedded here). If you use it on
unknown content, expect it to have issues and don't be surprised if it crashes.
If you encounter such a crash however, make sure to file a bug [2] immediately.
