ANNOUNCE: glibmm 2.32.0

*** glibmm:

gtkmm 2.32 wraps glib 2.32.

glibmm stays in-sync with glib by following the official GNOME release schedule:
http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/

http://www.gtkmm.org

*** Changes

Changes in glibmm 2.32

Glib:

  However, you will need to include either <glibmm.h> or <glibmm/thread.h>
  before other glibmm includes.
* Add Glib::Threads::* in threads.h, deprecating everything in thread.h.
  This was necessary because we had to break the ABI to avoid using 
  API that is now deprecated in glib.
* Date: set_time(): Use g_date_set_time_t() instead of g_date_set_time().
* VariantContainerBase: Add create_maybe().
  (José Alburquerque)

ANNOUNCE: Glom 1.22

With Glom you can design table definitions and the relationships between 
them, plus arrange the fields on the screen. You can edit and search the

It's as easy as it should be.

More information and screenshots are at
http://www.glom.org

Changes in Glom 1.22:

Glom:
* Use Gtk::Application and Gtk::ApplicationWindow instead of Gtk::Main.
  So far this does not change anything whatosever for the user,
  though --help now doesn't list all options by default.
* Make auto-increment fields work even if they are not primary keys.
  Bug #661702
* Do not hide the database structure if the user does not have view rights,
  and prevent SQL errors in that case.
  Bug #669299
* Button scripts: Check and warn about pygtk2 instead of crashing.
  Bug #669196 and Bug #661766
* Choices: Allow the field to be be other than the primary key and do not
  crash if it is not, or if it is hidden.
  Bug #668759
* Database Preferences: Really store the organization name in the database.
  Bug #668836 (alien)
* Details: Foreign key ID fields: Add a New button next to 
  the existing Find button.

gscan2pdf 1.0.3 released

gscan2pdf - A GUI to produce a multipage PDF or DjVu from a scan.

http://gscan2pdf.sourceforge.net/

Only two clicks are required to scan several pages and then save all or a
selection as a PDF or DjVu file, including metadata if required.

gscan2pdf can control regular or sheet-fed (ADF) scanners with SANE via
libsane-perl, scanimage or scanadf, and can scan multiple pages at
once. It presents a
thumbnail view of scanned pages, and permits simple operations such as
cropping, rotating and deleting pages.

OCR can be used to recognise text in the scans, and the output
embedded in the PDF or DjVu.

PDF conversion is done by PDF::API2.

The resulting document may be saved as a PDF, DjVu, multipage TIFF file, or
single page image file.

Changelog for 1.0.3:

* Refactor switch usage to satisfy Perl 5.10.
  Closes bug 3514239 (gscan2pdf won't load)
* Support page-width and page-height options with libsane-perl frontend
  Closes bug 3441159 (Page size cannot be changed)
  Closes bug 3052205 (Cannot set paper size)
* Update to Russian translation (thanks to Oleg Koptev)
