GARNOME 2.19.2 has been released:
The "Don't Stop the Beat" release.
We are pleased to announce the release of GARNOME 2.19.2 Desktop and Developer Platform. This release includes all of GNOME 2.19.2 plus a bunch of updates that were released after the GNOME freeze date.
This is the second release in the unstable cycle, with more features, more fixes and yet more madness added. It is for anyone who wants to get his hands dirty on the development branch, or who'd like to get a peek at future features. If you want to help spot issues in GARNOME, (or, better yet, fix 'em ;-) this release is for you as well.
As usual, you can get the tarball directly from the gnome.org site:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/garnome/2.19/Note: GNOME 2.19.x is an unstable branch and is assumed to be a moving target. Therefore, things in this release may not work as advertised.
If you find any issues with this release, feel free to contact the GARNOMEies in the #garnome channel on GIMPNet (irc://irc.gnome.org), where we hang out, or post to the mailing list.

This is our second development release on our road towards GNOME 2.20.0, which will be released in September 2007. New features are still 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.
Lots of modules have great plans for 2.19 and if you're willing to help, there's a lot of areas where you'll be heartily welcomed! Don't hesitate to ask how or where you can help. If you don't even know where to start, just send a mail to our fantastic gnome-love mailing list.

GShow TV is a TV program schedule viewer and a Personal Video Recorder GUI. GShow TV's basic purpose is to provide a nice GUI for viewing tv program schedule information and for recording the programs.

WengoPhone 2.1.0 has been released:
After a short 6 month release cycle, the next major upgrade to the WengoPhone is now available. This version is a vast improvement over the previous version in a number of areas:
* Interoperability
Support has been added to allow the easy configuration of a SIP account for platforms other than the Wengo platform. This long requested feature means that the user has total choice over the telephony platform they want to use, including their own provate SER, OpenSER or Asterisk server. In addition, considerable effort has gone into improving the interoperability of the WengoPhone with other SIP clients.
This is yet another development release of the 2.19.x development branch. Have a lot of fun!

I'm pleased to announce the 0.1.5 version of gnoMint: a graphical Certification Authority managing tool.
This version add some useful features to 0.1.4 version:
* gnoMint can import the public part of Certificate Signing Requests made by other applications as long as they are formatted in PEM or in DER formats. This way, gnoMint now is able to make certificates for remote people or systems that can create their CSRs with other instances of gnoMint or other software.
* gnoMint DB format version 3. This version of database format ensures that there won't be two or more CSRs in the database with the same Distinguished Name (DN).
It also fixes some nasty bugs:
* Now the private key of CSRs can be exported without errors.
* A just created CA has a default policy so it will be able to create useful certificates without change its default properties.
* Some UI bugs are corrected: some label alignments now look OK, and the progress bar again moves while creating certificates or CSRs.
It must be noted that all the databases created prior to 0.1.4 version must be converted to the new format (0.1.4 or higher). The conversion script gnomint-upgrade-db is included in the package.
About gnoMint:
==============
gnoMint is a tool for an easy creation and management of Certification Authorities. It allows a fancy visualization of all the pieces that conform a CA: x509 certificates, CSRs, CRLs...
Currently, it allows the creation of CAs, CSRs and Certificates, and export both public and private parts of them into PEM formatted files.
However, gnoMint is now perfectly usable for managing a CA that emits certificates able to:
* Authenticate people or machines in VPNs (IPSec or other protocols);
* Secure HTTP communications with SSL/TLS secured web servers;
* Authenticate and cipher HTTP communications through web-client certificates;
* Sign and/or crypt e-mails
For compiling it, its dependencies are:
* GTK+
* Gnome
* SQLite 3
* libGnuTLS 1.0.14

This is the second under-heavy-development release of Eye of GNOME. This one is also a special one: it's the first release that ships the new plugin system which allows developers to extend EOG's UI and behavior. Of course, a lot of polishing is still needed but the possibilities are quite vast.
Special thanks go to the Gedit and Epiphany teams because most of the EOG plugin system code came from those projects.
As usual, please, crash, play, use, crash again, *extend* EOG as much as you can.
