OCRFeeder 0.7.3 released

Hi folks,

Today I released OCRFeeder version 0.7.3.

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.

Homepage: http://live.gnome.org/OCRFeeder

Main changes in this version
=============================

New Features
-------------

* Add help contents (user documentation)

Improvements
-------------

* Fix missing extra dist in resources' Makefile.am
* Add missing files to translation
* Update manpages to reflect all available command-line
  options (thanks to Alberto Garcia)

What is cairo
=============
Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output
devices. Currently supported output targets include the X Window
System, quartz, win32, and image buffers, as well as PDF, PostScript,
and SVG file output. Experimental backends include OpenGL, XCB, BeOS,
OS/2, and DirectFB.

Cairo is designed to produce consistent output on all output media
while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available
(for example, through the X Render Extension).

The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of
PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo include stroking and filling
cubic Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images,
and antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be
transformed by any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear,
etc.).

Cairo has been designed to let you draw anything you want in a modern
2D graphical user interface.  At the same time, the cairo API has been
designed to be as fun and easy to learn as possible. If you're not
having fun while programming with cairo, then we have failed
somewhere---let us know and we'll try to fix it next time around.

Cairo is free software and is available to be redistributed and/or
modified under the terms of either the GNU Lesser General Public
License (LGPL) version 2.1 or the Mozilla Public License (MPL) version
1.1.

[ANNOUNCE] Vala 0.11.3 - Compiler for the GObject type system

We are pleased to announce version 0.11.3 of Vala, a compiler for the
GObject type system.

Vala 0.11.3 is now available for download at:
   http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.11/

This is a development release leading toward 0.12.

Changes since 0.11.2
 * Support BusName sender parameter in GDBus servers.
 * More refactoring in the code generator.
 * 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
        * Type inference for local variables
        * Generics
        * Non-null types
        * Assisted memory management
        * Exception handling

Vala is designed to allow access to existing C libraries, especially
GObject-based libraries, without the need for runtime bindings. All that
is needed to use a library with Vala is an API file, containing the class
and method declarations in Vala syntax. Vala currently comes with
bindings for GLib and GTK+. It's planned to provide generated bindings for
the full GNOME Platform at a later stage.

Using classes and methods written in Vala from an application written in
C is not difficult. The Vala library only has to install the generated
header files and C applications may then access the GObject-based API of
the Vala library as usual. It should also be easily possible to write a
bindings generator for access to Vala libraries from applications
written in e.g. C# as the Vala parser is written as a library, so that
all compile-time information is available when generating a binding.

More information about Vala is available at

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

  now emit a DBus signal when an application is launched.
  Additionally, there is a new variant
  g_desktop_app_info_launch_uris_as_manager(), which
  gives more control over the launched process.

* The memory and null GSettings backends are now available
  as public API

* g_get_locale_variants() is a new function that returns a
  list of variants of a locale identifier

GTK+ 2.99.0 announced

GTK+ 2.99.0 is now available for download at:

 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.99/
 http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.99/

304a9f4553b6e5de224053245d21b897ede9ef44a232de7f769e5116f40bd41a  gtk
+-2.99.0.tar.bz2
37060a94be5c0c72c2a68298ee2cb35ef9f275bd76d3bcd69a189f7539c030b6  gtk
+-2.99.0.tar.gz

This is a beta release of what will become GTK+ 3.0.

Notes:

 * GTK+ 3 will be parallel installable with GTK+ 2.x, and
   this release has been prepared to test this by renaming
   all .pc files, libraries, include paths, and so forth,
   to include a '3.0' component.

   An exception to this are the gtk-update-icon-cache and
   gtk-builder-convert utilities, for which parallel installation
   would make little sense.

 * GTK+ 3 will remove deprecated API from the GTK+ 2.x series and
   make struct members unavailable that have been GSEALed in 2.x.
   Therefore, applications can be prepared for porting to GTK+ 3
   by making sure that they build with -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
   and -DGSEAL_ENABLE.

   For more information about porting concerns,
   see the porting guide that is included in the API doc.

   The removal of GSEALEd struct members has been completed in
   this release. A handful of 2.x deprecations still need to be
   dealt with; the majority of deprecations in this release
   are new in 3.0, and will not be removed before GTK+ 4.0.

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.

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
developers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties.

Where to get more information about GTK+
========================================

Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can be
found at:

 http://www.gtk.org/

Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.91.7 to 2.99.0
==============================================

* Deprecations and removals:
 - Long-obsolete linuxfb-related GtkWindow APIs have been dropped
 - All remaining G_SEALed struct members have been removed
 - GtkThemeEngine has been removed
 - gdk_display_get_window_at_device_position() has been renamed to
   gdk_device_get_window_at_position()
 - gdk_display_get_device_state() has been renamed to
   gdk_device_get_position()
 - gdk_device_set_source() has been dropped
 - gdk_set_pointer_hooks(), gdk_display_set_pointer_hooks() and
   gdk_display_set_device_hooks() have been removed
 - The deprecated GtkNotebook:tab-pack child property has been removed
 - The deprecated gtk_quit_add() functions have been removed
 - The GtkRange update-policy facility has been removed

* The gtk-update-icon-cache and gtk-builder-convert utilities have
  been renamed back to their un-suffixed names. Distributions will
  have to resolve the conflict between GTK+ 2.x and 3.0 packages
  by dropping one set of the utilities and adding a dependency.

* It is now possible to include multiple GDK backends in a single
  library. The --with-gdk-backend option has been split into separate
  --enable-{x11,win32,quartz}-backend options.

* The GDK Quartz backend has been ported to the new GDK backend API

* A number of widgets have been ported to use GtkStyleContext directly:
  GtkAccelLabel, GtkArrow, GtkSeparator, GtkSpinButton,
  GtkMessageDialog, GtkFrame, GtkEventBox, GtkScrolledWindow,
  GtkProgressBar, GtkEntry, GtkFileChooserEntry, GtkSwitch,
  GtkHandleBox, GtkToolbar, GtkFixed, GtkToolPalette, GtkAboutDialog,
  GtkAssistant, GtkTrayIcon, GtkPaned, GtkToolButton, GtkSocket,
  GtkRecentChooser, GtkTooltip, GtkPathBar, GtkWin32EmbedWidget,
  GtkCellView, GtkDialog, GtkDrawingArea, GtkPlug, GtkEntryCompletion,
  GtkFileChooserButton, GtkFileChooser, GtkHandleBox, GtkLinkButton,
  GtkOffscreenWindow

* Various problems with width-for-height geometry management have been
  fixed in GtkAlignment, GtkCheckButton, GtkBin

* The GtkComboBox, GtkIconView and GtkCellView widgets have been ported
  to use GtkCellArea for their cell layouts

* The cups print backend can now send print jobs directly in PDF if
  cups supports it

* GtkNumerableIcon is a variant of GEmblemedIcon for using numbers
  as emblems

* Bugs fixed:
 144324 Leaking dnd contexts with XDnD
 165987 unsets DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID
 307963 GtkSpinButton clamps value with the wrong maximum.

Glade 3.9.0 Released

... And so it was, that yet another GNOME module updated itself to build
against the mighty forces of GTK+ 3.0 ... and they lived happily
ever ...

That's right folks, Glade for GTK+ 3.0 is here... this is the first
development release leading up to Glade 3.10 which will run against
GTK+ 3.0, currently this software builds and runs against the latest
GTK+ git master.

Few things I need/would like to mention for this release:

Plans:
-----
   Let it be known that we plan to release a stable Glade 3.8
and a stable Glade 3.10 in parallel for GNOME 3.

Glade 3.8:  Will include all support Glade has always included
            for GTK+ up till version 2.24.
Glade 3.10: Will include support only for widgets that are still
            included in GTK+ 3.0 and additionally drops support
            for Libglade.

They will of course be parallel installable, Glade 3.8 in the long
term will hopefully serve as a decent migration path for older 
projects migrating to 3.0.

Thanks:

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 saved as XML, and by using 
the GtkBuilder GTK+ object these can be loaded by applications
dynamically as needed.

By using GtkBuilder, Glade XML files can be used in numerous
programming languages including C, C++, C#, Vala, Java, Perl, 
Python, and others. 

===========
Glade 3.9.0
===========

	- General build fixes for building with GTK+ 3.0, including   
          patches from Johannes Schmid, Matthias Clasen, Javier Jardón
          and Juan Pablo Ugarte.
	- Included the new Preview feature by 
          Marco Diego Aurélio Mesquita.
	- Various leaks and crashes fixed.
	- GladeWidget becomes GInitiallyUnowned, refcounting improved
          for project dispose cycles.
	- Handle combo-box entry child properly (bug 581580).
	- Fixed crashes when textview's buffer is deleted, fix by 
          Martin Schlemmer, bug 609748.
	- Restored property order of project objects at save time 
          (glade files no longer container irrelevant diffs).
	- Hide editor properties when the property is not available on
          the widget, bug 585299, 
	  fix by Marco Diego Aurélio Mesquita.
	- Fixed makefiles as per bug 521713 (patch initially by 
          Daniel Macks).
	- Fixed mixups of properties vs packing properties (bug 637475).
	- Fixed class header of GladeEditor to update when widgets
          unload (patch by  Marco Diego Aurélio Mesquita, bug 637541).
	- Fixed particalarly nasty crasher bug when loading/saving
          treestore column definitions, special thanks goes to 
          Benjamin Otte, bug 637563.
	- Add progress bar to notebook tab of currently loading 
          project (now the whole UI doesnt jam up while loading a 
          big project).
	- Fixed notebook tab style to use the new CSS stuff.
	- Removed widgets that are not available in 3.0
	- Completely removed Libglade support
	- Removed GladeClipBoardView completely
	- Removed GladeParameter obsolete code
	- Fixed editor labels to use natural word wrapping
	- Drop GtkTables in editors in favor of GtkGrid
	- Added custom editor for editing GtkActionGroup and managing
          child actions
	- Ran 'indent' on source base, new Glade coding style more
          similar to GTK+ style
	- Removed boolean "fixed" catalog attribute, instead
          <create-widget-function> can be used to specify a derived
          GladeWidget to be used in the runtime.
	- Use locale-independent strtod & dtostr. Fixes bug 616787, 
          fix by Christian Persch.
	- Applying patch to allow better builds on win32, 
          patch by Dieter Verfaillie, bug 634978.
	- Fixed loaded state of use-action-appearance so that it always
	  loads as FALSE if there is no "related-action" at load time
          (closes bug 582882).
	- Sealed entire core API, libgladeui-2 will be ABI stable 
          after 3.10 release.
	- Removed GladeApp::update-ui signal, active-project, 
          selection handling and implied commands, everything now must
          be done in context of a GladeProject.
	- Optimized GladeEditor to load a widget faster by keeping all
          the cached pages in internal vboxes and not remove/adding them
          but just hide/showing them (improves object selection time).
	- Optimized frontend to load one palette per project, verifying
          the palette for version information when the related project
          is set costs around 1 second, this is now only experienced
          when the target version is changed in the project prefs 
	  dialog.
