GNOME 2.18.0 Beta 2 (2.17.91) has been released:
Today, one of our heroes, Lucas Rocha, is explaining us what's happening with this release:
Love is in the air! The GNOME 2.18.0 Beta 2 release is out to spread even more love in this Valentine's day. This is our second beta release on our road towards GNOME 2.18.0, which will be released in March 2007. So, If you're feeling alone, give some love to GNOME today by breaking it, fixing it, translating it, documenting it, and your hapinness is garanteed tomorrow! Who knows?
This release marks the start of the String Freeze. No, this doesn't have anything to do with the finnish winter. This means that if you change any string without approval, there will be a crowd of translators willing to kill you! You don't want it, right!?
Thanks Lucas! We all love you! Now, please, everybody hugs Lucas.
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.

swfdec-0.4.2 "Two completely different numbers"
http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/download/swfdec/0.4/swfdec-0.4.2.tar.gzMD5: 851b8891299b68f84dc731441188b261
The major change in this release is switching from compiled to interpreted Actionscript bytecode. This gives better conformance for different Flash versions, more supported bytecodes and improved stability. Another big plus is the improved image rendering. Swfdec renders lots of Ad banners right now. You decide if this is a plus.
swfdec-mozilla-0.4.2 "Kill animals, or else they'll die!"
http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/download/swfdec-mozilla/0.4/swfdec-mozilla-0.4.2.tar.gzMD5: 55de4eb6d2b7820c56eac3520c8f1734
Yay, new features. The Mozilla plugin now makes use of Gtk and as such can display a right click menu for your Flash file. And a properties page has been added that allows you to save your Flash file for later watching. Now that's a feature that you don't get from every Flash plugin.
Of course, this is still a development release. But I'm actually confident in using it on my regular browser and letting it loose on all the weird files my browsing habits throw at it.

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/2.10/Blurb:
GTK is a toolkit for developing graphical applications that run on systems such as Linux, Windows and MacOS X. It provides a comprehensive set of GUI widgets, can display Unicode bidi text. It links into the Gnome Accessibility Framework through the ATK library.

The Inkscape community today announces the newest version of its vector graphic drawing software. Inkscape 0.45 features a new Gaussian Blur SVG filter. Sponsored by Google's Summer of Code program, Gaussian Blur allows you to softly and naturally blur any Inkscape objects, including shapes, text, and images. This enables a wide range of photorealistic effects: arbitrarily shaped shades and lights, depth of field, drop shadows, glows, etc. Also, blurred objects can be used as masks for other objects to achieve the "feathered mask" effect.
Numerous other new features, enhancements to existing features, and bug fixes have been included. A history dialog allows you to browse your change history. Many new extension effects are added including Pattern along Path and Color Effects. There have been performance improvements to rendering speed, on the order of 2-3% in general, and up to 5-10% for drawings using heavy transparency and/or radial gradients. Compositing quality is also improved through the removal of banding seen in gradients.

To find out what Genius is, skip a few paragraphs down, or go to
http://www.jirka.org/genius.htmlWell, here is one of the now sort of twice yearly release cycles of genius. Basically whenever I need to do something and genius doesn't do it, I have to implement it. Apart from some UI improvements (for example "show full answer" menu item which is absolutely needed if you get large matrices as results), the biggest new thing I suppose is the fact that I've implemented the cubic and quartic formulas correctly. As a result we can of course now compute eigenvalues for matrices up to 4x4, yay!
Kiwi is a PyGTK framework for building graphical applications loosely based on MVC Model-View-Controller (MVC) and Allen Holub's Visual proxy [1]. Think of Kiwi as a high-level, object-oriented layer built on PyGTK. Its design is based on real-world experience using PyGTK to develop large desktop applications, which use many concepts common to most graphical applications: multiple windows and dialogs, forms, data persistence, lists and high-level classes that support domain objects directly.
