Hello guys,
The GNOME team has just released a new version of the gnome-core
package.
* Availability:
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-core/gnome-core-1.0.3.tar.gz
* What is new:
* Applet-land:
* Mail check now can launch your mailer when you get
new mail (Jacob Berkman).
* Battery monitor: no longer outputs debugging output.
* Battery monitor: now has a configurable time setting
for polling your battery.
* Keyboard configurator: More keyboard layouts (Shooby
Ban).
Also supports resizing now.
* Pager: Many bug fixes, code cleanups and some memory
leak fixes (Peter Wainwright, George Lebl, Damon
Chaplin).
* Modemlights: Should work on OpenBSD (Kenneth
Stailey);
Various small bug fixes from Johm Ellis (orientation
fixes; check for stale modem lock files; startup
position bug fixes).
* Gnome Terminal:
* Enhanced properties dialog box (should be more
intuitive for color configuration), by Owen Taylor.
* Edit/Paste menu for users who never have figured out
how to paste :-).
* Default scrollbar position is now right, like in the
rest of GNOME.
* Fixes the stale "gnome-pty-helper" bug (closes all
fds that are not required by child). This should be
already fixed in gnome-libs, this just closes a
separate can of potentail bugs
* Norwegian documentation
* Session Manager:
* Documnted various of the GNOME extensions to the
session management (Felix Bellaby).
* Implement some new extensions to the SM.
* SIGPIPE-derived problems should be fixed (reset
SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL, due to various libraries messing
with this) before exec.
Thanks to everyone who helped spotting the source of
the problems!
* Use a default.wm file to specify the system-global
default window manager (no longer hardcoded to our
defaults). (Felix).
This is configurable trough the Window Manager
option in the control-center. (Martin Baulig)
* Widget to list the existing clients in a session
(gsm-client-list) (Felix again).
* Panel:
* Optimized applet motion (George).
* Code clean up, usability fixes (George).
* Killed old, unused code (George).
* Themes interaction fixes (George).
* Saves more X memory now by not keeping the
background pixmap around all the time (George)
* Flicker fixes (George)
* Help support for properties button.
* smproxy:
* Should not crash when you specify the session name
trough the environment (robbe@orcus.priv.at)
* Documentation:
* Ship the applet writing documentation.
Miguel.
