Gcalctool is the default GNOME desktop calculator.
It has Basic, Advanced, Financial and Scientific modes. Internally it uses multiple precision arithmetic to produce results to a high degree of accuracy.
This release is for the GNOME 2.11.91 (beta2) distribution.
Note that in order to build, gcalctool now requires Gtk+ v2.6.1 (or later).
This is a beta release of the version that will ship with GNOME 2.12, it should be fairly stable since it contains just bugfixes and small UI changes.

GNOME Nettool 1.3.91 has been released
GNOME Nettool is a network information tool which provides user interfaces for some of the most common command line network tools, like ping, whois, traceroute, etc.
It was originally based on Mac OS X's network information tool, but has since then improved over so much that it now clearly exceeds Mac OS X's tool with more features and a better UI.
Release 0.16 of the Open Clip Art Library (www.openclipart.org) is now available on-line for download as an individual package consisting of 4442 images submitted by over 443 artists from around the world.
This releases squishes a major bug that replaced valid keywords in the clip art files with some strange HASH memory location text. Most of the clip art in the library and this release is now repaired.
Bryce Harrington and Jon Phillips both presented at the 2005 Desktop Developers Conference in Ottawa. Harrington's presentation promoted Inkscape (www.inkscape.org) while Phillips' presentation introduced the Open Clip Art Library to the freedesktop community. Both presentations were well received and sparked several debates.

Revelation is a password manager for the GNOME 2 desktop, released under the GNU GPL license. It stores all your accounts and passwords in a single, secure place, and gives you access to it through a user-friendly graphical interface.
This release adds a GNOME panel applet for searching and browsing accounts. It also fixes a crash when loading missing theme icons, and has quite a few minor usability improvements and bugfixes.
On september 1st I am going to Asia for 6 months, and I won't be doing any work on Revelation during this period. If necessary I will try to do another release before I leave, so please report any bugs or suggestions for improvements in the next couple of weeks.

Krecipes 0.8.1 has been released
Most of the changes in this release can be summed up in two points: 1) it fixes crashes with empty/near-empty databases and 2) it fixes a number of performance bottlenecks. In other words, this release most affects those with very few or a whole lot of recipes.
The performance increases can be substantial -- many bring minute-long operations down to seconds.
By the way, I've decided to drop the "beta" branching from all over. The beta status is inherent, given that Krecipes is still pre-1.0 final. Personally, I'd consider Krecipes now to be between "beta" and the final 1.0 release (gamma, anyone???).

GNOME-schedule 0.9.0 has been released.
Gnome-schedule is a tool for managing a users crontab or at jobs using a GUI. It was initially made for Fedora Linux and vixie-cron, but it now supports dcron aswell and works on all tested distributions. It is written in Python using pygtk. See the README file for more dependencies.
Teatime is an applet for the GNOME panel, that reminds you if your tea is ready. You can select from prediffened and user configurable teas and drawing times, different tea cups and the kind of alarm (visual and/or sound) if drawingtime is reached.

Glom 0.9.0 has been released:
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 data in those tables, and specify field values in terms of other fields. It's as easy as it should be.
Glom uses the PostgreSQL database backend but it can not edit databases that it did not create, because it uses only a simple subset of Postgres functionality.
Epiphany 1.7.3 has been released:
Epiphany is the GNOME web browser, based on the mozilla rendering engine. It aims to be simple and easy to use.
http://gnome.org/projects/epiphany/Epiphany 1.7.3 is the third release in the unstable series leading up to GNOME 2.12.

This snapshot is intended to be the last time the cairo API changes in preparation for the upcoming cairo 1.0. So, barring any discovery of something disastrous in the API, what's there now will be in 1.0.
gtk-engines 2.6.4 has been released:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gtk-engines/2.6/gtk-engines provides a central location for commonly used GTK+ engines. It currently supplies several engines and default themes for those which have one.
One important point to note with this release is that the Clearlooks engine will now be maintained within gtk-engines.

OpenOffice.org build 1.9.118 has been released:
This package contains Desktop integration work for OpenOffice.org, several back-ported features & speedups, and a much simplified build wrapper, making an OO.o build / install possible for the common man. It is a staging ground for up-streaming patches to stock OO.o.

gtk+-2.7.4.tar.gz md5sum: 0bd5dfa7334a20bb0efdd582704f84b6
This is the fifth development release loading up to GTK+ 2.8.
It's been quite long since a release and a number of patches accumulated over that time, so here goes.
So what is this gob thing? Well besides being the cure for cancer, it also generates GObjects (or GTK+ objects). GOB2 is a replacement for the version 1 GOB, that was for GTK+ 1.x mostly. GOB2 can handle pretty much most of the GObject features. At least most of the ones that anyone will ever use. It only requires GLib 2.0 and can generate arbitrary GObjects. You can have both versions installed at the same time if you wish, but if anyone is still
using gob version 1 and GTK+ 1.x, they should get their head examined.
