GARNOME 2.10.0.1



GARNOME 2.10.0.1
================
(the 'that which was, now shall be' release.)

So, you built 2.10.0, tried to run it and watched it explode? ... or,
maybe you didn't even get that far.

GARNOME 2.10.0 had some rather fatal issues, that made it much harder
to compile than it should have been -- so your trusty GARNOMEies have
been hard at work since the original release, fixing bugs and quirks
all over the place ... in an attempt to make a version that can be
prefixed as truly 'stable'.

Major issues fixed or otherwise resolved since 2.10.0 include:

* glib, gtk+ and pango now compile with 'minimal debugging' enabled --
  in an effort to get badly behaved applications to work properly. [1]

* a number of GCC 2.95.x and 4.0.x incompatibilities have been fixed.

* gnome-system-monitor is now buildable.

* the bug in gnome-floppy that caused people to have to modify kernel
  headers to get it to compile correctly, has been corrected.

* the panel will now load the mixer applet correctly at startup.

* nautilus will no longer crash on startup, the included patches have
  been updated to correct the issue.

* right-clicking the panel will no longer crash either.

* ... nor will epiphany, file-roller or rhythmbox :)

* Musicbrainz has been included in bootstrap/ to make the sound-juicer
  build work on systems where packages are not actually available.

* and more.

Basically, this is an essential upgrade for anyone and everyone who
tried out GARNOME 2.10.0 -- my sincerest apologies to everyone who tried
to build it and failed, hopefully 2.10.0.1 is a release that does what
the original release should have done.

As always, if there are any questions about the release, the mailing list
or #garnome on irc://irc.gimp.org are the places to be.

Happy GARNOMEing,

Footnotes:

[1] This was actually the default for stable GARNOME 2.6.x and 2.8.x, the
    fact it is still the default for 2.10.x is actually quite depressing.
