GNOME panel is, well, the panel in GNOME. You know, the bar you see at the top and at the bottom of your desktop, with menus and lots of applets on it. That's it. That's the panel.

Since gnome-panel 2.9.2, the gnome-panel use the /apps/panel gconf directory to store its settings. The settings that were previously stored in /apps/panel/profiles will be automatically migrated. Since gnome-panel 2.9.2 also, the panel depends on gnome-menus and we should finally enjoy the freekdestop.org Desktop Menu Specification. If you don't see any items in the menus, then you probably forgot to set $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to $(sysconfdir)/xdg

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.

libxklavier 2.0 has been released:

Celebrating the oncoming GNOME 2.10 release, I am proud to present new stable release of the X keyboard utility library.

The major change since last stable series (1.0x) is xmodmap support (as good as it can be in the world where most of users enjoy the beauties of XKB extension:). This improvement required major internal reogranization and API/ABI breakage.

A lot of optimizations and cleanups were performed. Valgrind helped to find many many memory leaks - which definitely were fixed.

So, the stuff can be downloaded, as usual, either from freedesktop.org CVS (repository xklavier) or sf.net:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=319&package_id=49313&release_id=308398

Bugreports are very welcome, as usual

* Drivers for MySQL and PostgreSQL
* Driver XBase (DB4) files (via the XBSQL wrapper library)
* Read-only driver for DBTCP (http://www.fastflow.it/dbtcp/)
* Table design and data access
* Graphic form, reports and query design and execution
* Creation of reusable components for use in forms and reports
* Database import/export via a generalised "copier"
* Fully scriptable using Python with built-in debugger
* Ability to construct reusable components for forms and reports
* Basic database dumping and loading

RekallWeb is a set of CGI scripts, implemented in Python, which allow you to access your Rekall database via a web browser. Please note that this is very much in-development, but the website www.rekallrevealed.org is now driven by RekallWeb. The database behind this (or rather, a recent dump) can be downloaded and installed using Rekall's stock database facility. See how the magic works.
