91bb6aebe1b73fb17918416d0c1b56415d547b03  gtk+-2.17.10.tar.gz

This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.18.

Notes:

 * This is an unstable development release.
   It has had only little testing and there are unfinished
   features and plenty of bugs in this release. It should
   definitively not be used in production.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
   copy of GTK+ 2.16. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GTK+ 2.16.

 * GTK+ 2.18 will be source and binary compatible with
   the GTK+ 2.16 series; however, the new API additions
   are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities
   between this release and the final 2.18 release.

Changes
=======

  the installation of the gmmproc code generation support files.
  (Vincent Untz, Daniel Elstner)

About glibmm
============

glibmm is a C++ API for glib and gio.  It is useful on its own 
and is a dependency of gtkmm, the C++ binding for GTK+.

Get better help from Devhelp with an improved transformation.

* The transformation from Doxygen to Devhelp no longer treats
  documentation groups as C++ namespaces.  Also, documentation
  modules are now listed as book chapters.

* The shared Doxygen style sheet has been adjusted to work
  properly with the new XHTML output of Doxygen.

Notes:

* This is neither a stable release nor a development release,
  but a base module for developing C++ bindings.

* There is no GNOME Bugzilla component for mm-common yet.  For now,
  bugs should be reported to the gtkmm-list <at> gnome.org mailing list.

About mm-common
===============

The mm-common module provides the build infrastructure and utilities
shared among the GNOME C++ binding libraries.  It is only a required

Changes
=======

* Namespace sigc is now documented, in order to make large chunks of the
  reference documentation reappear.  (Daniel Elstner)

* The shipped reference documentation has been regenerated using Doxygen
  1.6.1, so that the document type is now XHTML 1.0.  (Daniel Elstner)

* The shipped Devhelp file has been generated with a newer version of the
  XSLT script in mm-common, so that documentation groups no longer appear
  as namespace prefixes in the keyword list.  (Daniel Elstner)

About libsigc++
===============

libsigc++ implements a typesafe callback system for standard C++. It
allows you to define signals and to connect those signals to any
callback function, either global or a member function, regardless of
whether it is static or virtual.

libsigc++ is used by gtkmm to wrap the GTK+ signal system. It does not

ANNOUNCE: gstreamermm-0.10.5

General Information 
===================

gstreamermm provides C++ bindings for the GStreamer streaming multimedia
library (http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org).  With gstreamermm it is possible to
develop applications that work with multimedia in C++.

gstreamermm is developed over glibmm, libsigc++ and libxml++ and the
functionalities they provide.  This means that, among other things, referencing
and unreferencing of GObjects is handled automatically via glibmm's automatic
pointer class, Glib:RefPtr<>, and libsigc++'s slots are used for callbacks and
signals.

There are several examples, including a media player, in the examples/
directory, that demonstrate how to use the API and there are API docs in the
docs/reference/html directory.  The core plug-ins, such as Gst::Identity and
Gst::FileSrc are also provided along with many of the base plug-ins.

Changes:
=======

* Distribute a local beautify docs script to fix the build with the latest
  glibmm version (2.21.4.2).

Gnumeric 1.9.11 released

Free, Fast, Accurate -- Pick Any Three!

The Gnumeric Team is pleased to announce the availability of Gnumeric
version 1.9.11.
This release requires the concurrently released goffice 0.7.11.

NOTE: there are big internal changes for this release and it is more
"experimental" than
most releases.  Distributors should probably not pick this release.
We expect to be
back on track with .12

The most notable changes are:

    * The new canvas in Goffice and now used by Gnumeric and the GUI
feels more responsive than ever.
    * Goffice no longer depends on libglade.
    * Goffice's namespace were cleaned up.
    * A number of sheet functions were added.

Attention packagers: goffice no longer depends on libgnome,
libgnomeui, libglade, and gnome-vfs. (To get the full benefit of this,
make sure libgsf is not compiled to require gnome-vfs and bonobo.)

Attention packagers: please do not ship goffice with equation enabled.

    * Andreas
          o Add AVERAGEIF, MUNIT, RRI, SEARCHB, REPLACEB, COMBINA, ARABIC.
          o Improve import of ODF functions.

Mutter 2.27.4 released

Mutter 2.27.4 is now available at:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/mutter/2.27/

About Mutter
============

Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages
your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display engine
using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic inherited
from the Metacity window manager.

While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be
used as the display core of a larger system such as GNOME Shell or
Moblin. For this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which
are used both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window
management behaviors to meet the needs of the environment.

Changes since 2.27.4
====================

* Big code cleanup: when talking about multiple monitors, call them
  "monitors", not "xineramas". [Dan]

* Accessors added or made public:

  meta_screen_get_n_monitors(), meta_screen_get_monitor_geometry()

GNOME Shell 2.27.2 released

GNOME Shell 2.27.2 is now available at:

About GNOME Shell
=================

GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3
desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. 
GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics
hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to 
provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience.

This is still a VERY EARLY version of GNOME Shell and should not be
taken of indicative of the final user interface or performance.

We are providing tarball releases at this point largely to allow
distributions to start building packaging for GNOME Shell. If you are
interested in building GNOME Shell from source, we would recommend
building from version control using the build script described at:

 http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell

Not only will that give you the very latest version of this rapidly
changing project, it will be much easier than get GNOME Shell and
its dependencies to build from tarballs.
