Hello guys,
New beta version of the GNOME libraries is out for testing. I
would like to give it another test pass before I make an official
gnome-libs-1.0.10 package.
Please, test this package as much as you can.
* Notes
Red Hat users, and other FSSTND users, please read the section at the bottom.
* Availability
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/testing
* Changes from gnome-libs-1.0.pre10 to gnome-libs-1.0.pre10-2
* Documentation
* Integrated Michael Zucchi Zvt widget manual and
reference manual. Very very very nice manual
(Michael Zucchi, and some twidlling by me).
* Proofread gnome-config.1 man page (Kjartan)
* gnome-config
* Fixed --modversion support (it was introduced in the
previous test release)
* Fixes
* GnomeIconList fixes to avoid crashes on some wierd
conditions (fixes a reported bug on gmc).
* Memory leak fixing (George).
* Accelerators for applications should get saved and
reloaded properly (Tim Janik).
* Canvas line object fixes from James Henstridge.
* Zvt should compile correctly on Solaris now (Brandon).
* Changes from gnome-libs-1.0.9 to gnome-libs-1.0.pre10
* Documentation
* Man page for gnome-config program, includes sample
usage of it in Makefiles and how to write Conf.sh
modules (me).
* TODO.sgml included that describes the status of
documentation for gnome-libs (Federico)
* Includes new version of the FAQ.
* gnome-app-helper documented (me).
* gnome-mdi documentation updated (Jaka).
* gnome-config
* Now supports per-module version information:
--modversion.
* Can scan more than one directory for Conf.sh files.
It uses the environment variable
GNOME_LIBCONFIG_PATH to pull a list of directories
that contain Conf.sh files.
(ie, you can finally use gnome-config to install
third party libraries on your RH system without
requiring root).
* CORBA:
* GNOME::object renamed to GNOME::obj, given that
object is a reserved word in every possible case
combination in CORBA (Elliot, me).
* Renamed GNOME::Editor and GNOME::File to
Desktop::File and Desktop::Editor.
* Translations:
* Slovak (Bobo Rajec).
* British (Robert).
* GNORBA:
* Added server launching debugging extensions
(Elliot).
* Zvt
* Start support for for 2-byte fonts (Michael Zucchi).
* Supports xterm-like extend-select mechanism (Michael
Zucchi).
* Make the background image drawing work properly with
tiled images.
* Fixed various bugs from the bug tracking system.
* Fixes:
* Various bug fixes spotted by David Kaelbling
(comparission instead of assignments in a couple of
places).
* Gnome-moz-remote escapes the "," character now
(Owen).
* Gnome canvas memory leak fix (Morten, Federico)
* Gnome canvas images redraw queuing fixes (Federico)
* Gnome calculator does factorials better (Robert Brady).
* Notes on deploying on Red Hat 6.0
For Red Hat 6.0 users or other FSSTND users, you will need to
configure, compile and install gnome-libs like this:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib
make
make prefix=/usr sysconfdir=/etc install
Best wishes,
miguel.
