GNOME desktop environment.

[ANNOUNCE] Vala 0.7.0 - Compiler for the GObject type system

We are pleased to announce version 0.7.0 of Vala, a compiler for the
GObject type system.

Vala 0.7.0 is now available for download at:
   http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.7/

Changes since 0.6.0
 * Do not generate header files unless requested by the -H commandline
   option. This requires changes in the build system of Vala projects.
 * Support conditional compilation.

Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern programming
language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional
runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to
applications and libraries written in C.

valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source
code.

The syntax of Vala is similar to C#, modified to better fit the GObject
type system. Vala supports modern language features as the following:

        * Interfaces
        * Properties
        * Signals
        * Foreach
        * Lambda expressions
        * Type inference for local variables

Hitori 0.2.2 released

Hitori is a GTK+ application to generate and let you play games of
Hitori, a logic game similar to Sudoku created by Nikoli.

Major changes this version:
* Fixed how hints are drawn
* Cleaned up some of the code
* Fixed markup validation in the documentation
* Migrated bug handling to GNOME Bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=hitori)
* Migrated website to live.gnome.org (http://live.gnome.org/Hitori)

* de (Mario Blättermann)
* en_GB (Philip Withnall)

Glade 3.6.1 Released

Hey !
  So we got off to a bit of a rocky start with all the new features
in place, there were some more crashers and some regressions, and
ofcourse I've had my hands tied all this time, but here's a bugfix
release that should nail all of the critical bugs that cropped up
immediately after the big GNOME release.

Enjoy,
    - Tristan

What is Glade ?
===============
Glade is a RAD tool to enable quick & easy development of user
interfaces for the GTK+ toolkit and the GNOME desktop environment.
The user interfaces designed in Glade are stored in an XML format
which is understood natively by GTK+, also enabling easy
integration with external tools.

===========
Glade 3.6.1
===========
	- Fixed win32 crasher (bug 575206)
	- Fixed crasher on internal widget selection
	- Fixed libglade regression (libglade needs specific
	  ordering of properties, atk props, signals and accelerators)
	- Fixed MSYS/MinGW build (Bug 576851 – Damon Register)
	- Disable loading and displaying of 'data' property on GtkTreeStore
	  (only GtkListStore understands the 'data' construct).
	- Properly initialize a GValue on stack (bug 577822 - Felix Riemann)

moserial 2.26.0 released

moserial 2.26.0 release
=======================

moserial is a clean, friendly gtk-based serial terminal for the gnome 
desktop. It is written in vala for extra goodness.

Packagers
=========

I see that gentoo has packaged moserial, which is great. It would be 
nice if Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora would follow suit...

News
====

* Call this 2.26.0, to align with gnome versioning.
* Added ESC as a termination character.
* Pressing the escape key now scrolls all text boxes to
   their end, and moves the focus to the entry box.

What is GTK+
============

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for
projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application
suites.

GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of
languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and
Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides
an effective method of rapid application development.

GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the
licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all
