GTK+ 2.19.0 released

GTK+ 2.19.0 is now available for download at:

 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.19/
 http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.19/

md5 sums:
3f380acb0632687d84fdf8f70b0f1d07  gtk+-2.19.0.tar.bz2
302b1dae804f30c88fbcbde36843a91c  gtk+-2.19.0.tar.gz

sha1 sums:
b7df96eea0b01f7973c9a2e0a0d4e36a63b0feac  gtk+-2.19.0.tar.bz2
44a19f91c9cd9b2b661fff1d26e38ae085ef72c7  gtk+-2.19.0.tar.gz

This is the first development release leading toward 2.20.

Notes:

 * This is the first development release in the 2.19 cycle.
   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+ 2.18. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GTK+ 2.18.

 * GTK+ 2.20 will be source and binary compatible with
   the GTK+ 2.18 series; however, the new API additions
   are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities
   between this release and the final 2.20 release.

[ANNOUNCE] Vala 0.7.8 - Compiler for the GObject type system

We are pleased to announce version 0.7.8 of Vala, a compiler for the
GObject type system.

Vala 0.7.8 is now available for download at:
   http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.7/

Changes since 0.7.7
 * Support constructor chain up to GObject using Object (...).
 * Add syntax for string templates.
 * Support (!) non-null casts.
 * Many bug fixes and binding updates.

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

OCRFeeder v0.4 Released

Hi folks,

OCRFeeder version 0.4 as just been released.

What is OCRFeeder
===============

OCRFeeder is a document layout analysis and optical character recognition system.

Given the images it will automatically outline its contents, distinguish between what's graphics and text and perform OCR over the latter. It generates multiple formats being its main one ODT.

It features a complete GTK+ GUI that allows users to correct any unrecognized characters, define or correct bounding boxes, set paragraph styles, clean the input images, import PDFs, save and load the project, export everything to multiple formats, etc.

In this version
===========

* Add the debian package generation
* Add Tesseract's example configuration file
* Add pot file
* Development setup possible by using the local folder
  instead of only accepting the system's resources one
  when the latter does not exist (thanks to P. Christeas)
* The background color of the page area is now equal to
  the system's normal state's background color
* The page now shows a frame around it, for a better
  visualization
* Continue the execution even if an engine fails to be
  recognized (thanks to P. Christeas)

Where can you get it
================

* You can get this version's tarball from:

http://ocrfeeder.googlecode.com/files/OCRFeeder-0.4.tar.gz

* You can get this version's Debian package from:

http://ocrfeeder.googlecode.com/files/ocrfeeder_0.4_all.deb

* You can get the code from:

http://gitorious.org/ocrfeeder/ocrfeeder


Best regards,

ANNOUNCE: tracker 0.7.6 released

tracker 0.7.6 is now available for download from:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/tracker/0.7/

5dd1d5074c670523bd1718a32076c63b  tracker-0.7.6.tar.gz

What is it?
===========
All-in-one indexer, search tool and metadata database.

Where can I find out more?
==========================
You can visit the project web site:

   http://www.tracker-project.org/

What's New?
===========

   General:
   * Fixed libvorbis detection in configure.
   * Fixed data/.gitignore to not exclude .desktop.in files.
   * Added AC_CACHE_CHECK for ioprio in configure for cross-platform
     compilation.
   * Imported data generation scripts from old repository.

   Ontology:
   * Fixed nmm:exposureTime to be a double not integer.
   * Added tracker:weight to ontology properties (was only used on few
     properties before like nie:title). Used for scoring/ranking.
   * Added more FTS fields so FTS matching occurs on more useful data.
   * Added nco:metacontact concept
     (see http://live.gnome.org/Tracker/Documentation/ContactsOntology)
   * Removed cardinality restriction for dc:contributor.
   * Removed cardinality maximum from nco:contrbutor & nco:creator.
   * Renamed nmo:VOIPCall to nmo:Call.

   SPARQL:
   * Fixed fts:rank when fts:match is not first predicate in query.

   Functional Tests:
   * Added for fts:rank
   * Added for nco:metacontact

   libtracker-common:
   * Fixed tracker_coalesce() to not use empty/blank strings.
   * Fixed tracker_is_blank_string() to be UTF-8 compliant.
   * Added tracker_sparql_builder_object_double() method.

   libtracker-data:
   * Fixed assertion using cursors open twice (tracker-store crash).
   * Fixed outer query cursors being used by inner queries.

   libtracker-miner:
   * Fixed calls to tracker-store to be completely async (no blocking
     when tracker-store is not available)
   * Fixed trying to free invalid GPtrArray pointers.
   * Updated reference documentation.
   * Improve error reporting when initializing volumes.

   tracker-store:

   tracker-extract:
   * Fixed return value in albumart_set().
   * Fixed JPEG to coalesce nie:comment.
   * Fixed JPEG leak if file size is < 18 bytes.
   * Fixed MP3 id3v20/v22 memory corruption.
   * Fixed MP3 id3v20/v22 comments retrieval.
   * Fixed cases where _object_unvalidated() was used over _object().
   * Added album art support with libquill (alternative to GdkPixbuf).
   * Updated ALL plugins to use TrackerSparqlBuilder API (from older
     variant), this produces less D-Bus traffic and the output is
     generally nicer.

   tracker-search-bar:
   * Fixed to show all documents, not just paginated ones.
   * Fixed icon background to be transparent.
   * Fixed showing results and no results label at the same time.
   * Fixed window height to be a lot longer by default.
   * Fixed selecting blank rows for separators.
   * Fixed showing blank rows after all results.
   * Fixed sorting (broken by use of hash table).
   * Added vertical orientation for applet.
   * Added ranked sorting for searches.
   * Added limit for each category to 5.
   * Added interactive searching on a 300ms delay.

   tracker-search-tool:
   * Added interactive searching.

Bugs Fixed
==========

   * Fixes GB#600081, Get rid of Bonobo

NOTES:
======

   The Deskbar applet packaged with Tracker is currently out of date
   and needs some love to get it working with the new APIs. It is in
   the same state as it was for 0.6. As such it isn't expected to work.
