This is a bugfix release of the stable branch of gnome-games. In particular, several critically important bugfixes have gone into Sudoku. Upgrading to this more stable version ASAP is highly recommended because of the bugfixes.

GNOME Power Manager is a session daemon that makes it easy to manage the power on your laptop or desktop system.
Yes, I'm late. I know. I'm right in the middle of my University finals, so that's excuse enough I think.
This _unstable_ release contains lots of crazy new code since 2.18.0 was released. WARNING, this code may impregnate your cat and _will_ steal all of the magazines from the bathroom.
In particular, this release has enabled by default the new profiling code, so even if your laptop battery or UPS is old and broken, you'll still get a 99% perfect time remaining all throughout your discharge and charge cycle. Hopefully.
Downside, g-p-m has to profile your battery, so for the first couple of charge/discharge cycles the time remaining will be either missing or roughly guessed. Luckily it does all this profiling in the background, so just use your computer like normal.
Please send feedback to the gnome-power-manager-list_at_gnome_dot_org mailing list, where you can send flames or encouragement.
Cool screenshot:

I am pleased to announce version 2.13.1 of the Python bindings for GObject, for your testing pleasure.
The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org as and its mirrors as soon as its synced correctly:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/pygobject/2.13/
Changes since 0.4:
* Plugged a memory leak. Previously, we were not destroying cairo contexts.
* First draft of a D-Bus interface.
* New add and remove workspace buttons.
* Respects #define MAX_REASONABLE_WORKSPACES 36 as per metacity.
* --trigger-on-caps-lock split into --also-trigger... and --only-trigger...
Downloads, source code, etc. are at the homepage:
http://code.google.com/p/superswitcher/
This is a special release: this is the first release with the completely rewriten core of Eye of GNOME. Also, some cool features were added.
As you can see, some of the bugs listed in this announcement were already fixed in previous releases. This is because we were working on a separate branch (eog-ng) for this new code and we kept fixing bugs on both trunk and eog-ng for some time.
There's still a lot of polishing work to do from now on. Testers, go on and use, debug, profile, play with, and crash EOG as much as you can. The plugin system and other new features are scheduled for 2.19.2.
Special thanks goes to Claudio Saavedra and Felix Riemann. Without those guys, this awesome release wouldn't be possible.
GLib 2.12.12 is now available for download at:

glib-2.12.12.tar.gz md5sum: 6c6a61e4b08fb4b110ca7953f71c8b5e
This is a bug fix release in the 2.12 series.
GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
Version 0.4.4 of the Python bindings for PySwfdec is available

The bindings are updated with the new Swfdec API 0.4.4
PySwfdec 0.4.4 (Apr 30 2007)
=================================
o First public release (Gian Mario)
My enthusiasm got a bit reduced after the last release, but it hasn't vanished. So here is the new release.
swfdec-0.4.4 "Birthday cards"
http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/download/swfdec/0.4/swfdec-0.4.4.tar.gzMD5: 7f69ae821c6002a857d99656758e8c0b
swfdec-mozilla-0.4.4 "The death camp of tolerance"
http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/download/swfdec/0.4/swfdec-mozilla-0.4.4.tar.gzMD5: 7d546ac5cc296e58198bb53ccb977021
This release is not really supporting more Flash files. It has focused on stability and features developers asked for. The big changes are support for decoding using GStreamer, a new libswfdec-gtk for easy embedding of Flash files in your application and cleaning up the API for easier bindings creation.
Swfdec still is development software, but has also followed a rigid no-crashes-allowed policy. I believe it's stable enough now to be installed as a default plugin in your browser. Don't expect Flash files to work, but expect the plugin to not crash. If it does, file a bug at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=swfdecFor additional info, see the homepage at

This is our first development release on our road towards GNOME 2.20.0, which will be released in September 2007. New features are slowly arriving, so your mission is simple : Go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it.

--------------------
about-me:
- Build fixes (Bastien Nocera)
- Add image filter to file chooser (Kristof Vansant) (#424958)
- Plug memory leaks (Jens Granseuer)
This is the first major stable release since the previous 1.2.x versions, in which of the code has been reworked, many new features have been added and the dependencies have been lowered to a minimum; for more information, please visit
http://www.gnome-db.org.libgda/libgnomedb are a complete framewok for developing database-oriented applications, and actually allow access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, SQLite, FireBird/Interbase, IBM DB2, mSQL and MS SQL server, as well as MS Access and xBase files and ODBC data sources.

Free, Fast, Accurate -- Pick Any Three!
The Gnumeric team is proud to announce the release of Gnumeric 1.7.9, a development release. This release requires the concurrently released Goffice 0.3.8, see below.
With this release we (well, Andreas) have switched from gnome-print to GtkPrint and in the process fixed a large number of bugs caused by gnome-print. Undoubtedly we have a new set of bugs caused by GtkPrint, but there is some hope that GtkPrint will be better maintained than gnome-print ever was. Note: gnome-print is still linked in via goffice, but this will change.
In addition, this release uses the GtkRecentManager to handle recently-used documents and should thus interact better with Gnome.
Orca is a free, open source, flexible, and extensible screen reader that provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable combinations of speech, braille, and/or magnification. Orca development has been led by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility Program Office via continued engagement with its end users and contributions from wonderful community members.
I am pleased to announce version 2.13.0 of the Python bindings for GObject, for your testing pleasure.
The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org as and its mirrors as soon as its synced correctly:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/pygobject/2.13/
Tomboy 0.7.0, the first development release of 0.7.x has been released. Like usual, please be aware that running the development series code is considered living on the edge (please make regular backup copies of your notes).
A new tagging system has been added. The UI that exists in this release is meant as just a testing ground for the underlying tagging system. If you're feeling up to the task, please submit a patch for a better tagging UI. We'd love to hear your comments surrounding tagging, what features surrounding it would be the most useful, and the UI you'd prefer to see.
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 GNOME 2.19.1.
The Linux Screen Reader (LSR) project is an open source effort to develop an extensible assistive technology for the GNOME desktop environment. The goal of the project is to create a reusable development platform for building alternative and supplemental user interfaces in support of people with diverse disabilities.
LSR 0.5.1 is a point release for GNOME 2.19.1.
If you have no clue what GDM is, refer to the documentation links at the bottom of this announcement.
There has been a lot of work in GDM in the 2.19 unstable branch, and though we've made a real effort to make sure this version of GDM works reasonably, I'm sure there are many issues that have been introduced into the code. The GDM development team would greatly appreciate hearing about any issues or bugs that you find. Link to bug tracking tool for GDM at the bottom of this announcement.
