extensions.gnome.org - Public Alpha Now Available

We're happy to announce that extensions.gnome.org is now in
public alpha testing at:

 https://extensions.gnome.org

If you have GNOME Shell 3.2 on your system, you should be able to
install extensions from the website via your browser. This uses the
"GNOME Shell Integration" browser plugin which is likely already
installed on your system if you have GNOME 3.2. The plugin only works
with Firefox currently - see "Known Bugs" below.

We've seeded the site with a small set of extensions, including
the extensions from gnome-shell-extensions. If you are the author
of an extension that has been uploaded, and you want to take over
uploading future releases, please contact us, and we'll get you
access.

The set of extensions on the site is still small compared to the total
number of extensions available. We expect more extensions to be
available over the next few weeks as authors upload them and they
are reviewed.

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

GNOME Shell extensions are small pieces of code written by third party
developers that modify the way GNOME works. (If you are familiar with
Chrome Extensions or Firefox Addons, GNOME Shell extensions are
similar to them.)

[ANNOUNCE] Vala 0.15.0 - Compiler for the GObject type system

We are pleased to announce version 0.15.0 of Vala, a compiler for the
GObject type system.

Vala 0.15.0 is now available for download at:
   http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.15/

Changes since 0.14.0
 * Manage memory of GQueue elements.
 * Switch atk bindings to .gir.
 * Switch gdk-pixbuf-2.0 bindings to .gir.
 * Switch gdk-3.0 bindings to .gir.
 * Add libwnck-3.0 bindings.

Vala is a 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.

Rygel 0.12.6

Rygel 0.12.6 is out!

Another release in the stable 0.12 series of Rygel

Changes since 0.12.5:

- Request creation of more than one thumbnail.
- Make headers send in HTTP HEAD equal to the ones in HTTP GET. This fixes an
  issue where certain clients that do a HEAD request on transcoded resources
  would not play them since we reported Content-Length: 0.

Tracker:
  - Really fall back to nfo:fileLastModified.
  - Cache ContainerUpdateID for meta-data containers, otherwise invalid
    notifications were sent.

Playbin:
  - Add possibility to render images.

Mediathek:
  - Set the DLNA profile for WMV videos.

MediaExport:
  - Fix the issue that videos without audio were not shared.
  - Fix a regression in the file monitor that moved files were not recognized.

All contributors to this release:
  - Jens Georg <mail <at> jensge.org>
  - Mario Blättermann <mariobl <at> gnome.org>
  - Matej Urbančič <mateju <at> svn.gnome.org>

Nautilus-Actions 3.1.5 is out

Hi everybody,

We are so pleased to announce the latest 3.1.5 version of
Nautilus-Actions.
This is (supposed to be) a stable release.

What is it ?

    Nautilus-Actions is a Nautilus extension whose principal function
    is to allow the user to add arbitrary actions to the file manager
    context menus. These actions may be organized in menus and submenus,
    exported and shared with other desktop environments.

What is new in this release ?

    The 3.1.5 version is mainly a bugfix in the 3.1 serie.

Some words about the 3.1 serie

    The first goal of Nautilus-Actions 3.1 serie is to migrate menus,
    actions and user preferences from GConf.

    Compiling with GConf is now only required when we have menus,
    actions or user preferences to migrate to the new system. New users
    may just get ride of it.

    Packagers and sysadmins should really read the README-GCONF file.

    Please note that due to the renaming of some parameters, actions
    or menus created / updated with the versions 2.99.0 and later may

GLib 2.31.4

GLib 2.31.4 is out.

This is a point release on the way to what will become GLib 2.32.0.

  http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.31/

  627fbffdb0c0a95709778e54ab32620d3e4ae9dfed939bb69ab4a50209ff43fb  glib-2.31.4.tar.xz

Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
==============================================

* EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication.  Menus
  are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
  There have also been many related improvements to action group
  functionality.

  These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases.  In
  particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
  menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
  types of menubars.

* GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
  unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
  the object was exported on.  It now unconditionally dispatches these
  through an idle on the context.

* Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
  longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
  fixes here and there.

ANNOUNCE: folks 0.6.6

libfolks 0.6.6 is now available for download from:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/folks/0.6/

3dd6a2983969a6369c6b0e25f28ec92415b5570dd6c89b25385807ecc4aeb0a8
folks-0.6.6.tar.xz

libfolks 0.6.6 — It matters to me that you're impressed.
========================================================================

Libfolks pulls together contacts from any number of accounts supported
by the libfolks backends. This release includes a number of backends,
including Telepathy, evolution-data-server, libsocialweb, Tracker, and
a simple key-file backend.

The 0.6.x series is API and ABI stable and corresponds to the GNOME 3.2
release. We will continue in the 0.6.x for the foreseeable future,
until we need to make further API or ABI breaks (which we don't
anticipate at this time). We will make an announcement when we
officially commit to API/ABI stability for the project as a whole.

See the NEWS file for details on every break we made before 0.6.0. In
future releases, we will have example programs that will be kept
up-to-date with the latest API as well.

For more information, see the Folks wiki page:
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Folks

Reference documentation is available here:
