The cairo team is very pleased to announce cairo 1.0 available from:
http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.0.0.tar.gzwhich can be verified with:
http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.0.0.tar.gz.sha1abc50d6a657cba15b3956c8c3aaea080b71172bb cairo-1.0.0.tar.gz
http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.0.0.tar.gz.sha1.asc(signed by Carl Worth)
All future 1.x.y releases of cairo will be source and binary compatible with cairo 1.0.0.
With this release, we'd like to remind everyone of the proper position for the number 1 in software releases, which is at the beginning. While this release does mark the culmination of months or years of work by many people, it's more significant in marking what is yet to come. Cairo has just begun and we're excited to see where it will go from here.
In this release, we have marked three backends as "supported"
xlib, image, win32
and all other backends as "experimental" which as such, do not have part in the API guarantees of this release. The experimental backends will not be compiled by default, but they are still available for people to experiment with by means of --enable options to configure. We recognize that many people would find the experimental backends useful, (even with existing bugs), and it is with caution that we mark them this way. We are not trying to remove utility, but we do think it is important to carefully advertise which backends are not yet up to the standards of stability, completeness, and rendering fidelity expected from a cairo backend.
These "experimental" backends are certainly not going away, and we hope that each one will become a "supported" backend in a future cairo release quite soon.

Sound Juicer is the official GNOME Desktop CD ripper. This release, a release candidate for version 2.12, supports CD playback as well as ripping, so you don't need to use two programs to find that track you want to rip.
As this is a new feature, I'd appreciate as many people using it to play CDs as possible. It also features several other major new features:
* Faster extraction
* Uses gnome-vfs so can save songs to remote locations
* The genre field is a auto-completing free-form field
* More metadata is added to the song
Sound Juicer can be downloaded from the following URL:

Abakus version 0.90 has just been released.
- What is it? --
Abakus is a calculator for KDE with a significantly different GUI style tha
n most calculators you may be used to. It was inspired by a rant the author saw online (which you can view at
http://dot.kde.org/1096309744/). Unfortunately, the code included with the rant wasn't really suited to fast startup, and was kind of limited besides, so I decided to do something about
it. The result is a calculator tuned for the way we work on computers. There are no simulated buttons, no digits to click on. Instead, you just type your expression in, and hit Enter.
Abakus supports variables (including the automatic last-result variable, an
s), user-defined functions, and the rest of the basics. It also has a compact mode should you ever need to put it always-on-top, and rather nice drag-and-drop, including a little bubble showing you exactly what you're dragging.
- Wow, you filled a massive gaping hole in my life, where can I find thi
s? --
