GNOME Development Release 2.7.1

GNOME Development Release 2.7.1
===============================

Goooooooooooood morning and welcome to the FIRST release of the GNOME 2.7
development series! It's ready for your bug-busting and testing pleasure,
and available for immediate download on ftp.gnome.org and mirrors:

  http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.7/2.7.1/sources/

  tar.gz:   179M total
  tar.bz2:  127M total


WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
--------------------------

This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is buildable and
usable, it is primarily intended for testing and hacking purposes. Like the
Linux kernel, GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development
status. Please check the 2.7 start page for more information:

  http://www.gnome.org/start/2.7/


Build Requirements
------------------

  - The tarballs included in the release. :-)

  - Some very basic packages not distributed with this release, such as
    image libraries, popt, and the freedesktop.org libraries collection.
    Most of these will be included with or available for your distribution,
    except the 'shared-mime-info' and 'hicolor-theme' modules - if you don't
    install those, your desktop will look ugly, but it will work.

  - Docbook DTD 4.1.2, Docbook XSL stylesheets and a valid system catalogue
    file for scrollkeeper (which in turn is required by many desktop
    components for documentation).


Happy testing!

- The GNOME Release Team

What's new in GOK 0.11.2 and 0.11.3 ?

(This is the first external release in the development
series of GOK targeting the gnome 2.8 release)

in 0.11.3:

* Important bugfix in focus tracking.

in 0.11.2:

Lots of new UI and features...

* Added 5-switch directed scanning access method.

* Fixed DOCK behavior when docking at top of screen (#140882).

* Warn user about likely side-effects when starting GOK in 
  corepointer mode (except for Direct
  Selection access method).

* Changed GOK's dialogs (About, startup message dialogs, etc.) to 
  prevent them from raising above GOK's main window when in DOCK mode.
  (#136160).

* Fixed the very broken KEYSTRING word completion input.

* Added a utility ('create_branching_keyboard') for creating
  branching compose keyboards for non-Latin locales and locales which
  normally require 'input methods' for text input.
 
* Allow user to chooise between prebuild compose keyboard from a
  custom .kbd file. a keyboard created from the XKB keyboard
  description on the X Server (default), an alphabetic keyboard, or a
  keyboard with alphabetic keys listed in order of frequency.  Better
  handling of key shift levels for non-alphabetic keys.

* Added a numberpad keyboard (136482) and put a branch key for it on
  the compose keyboard.

* Added a valuator keyboard, and support UI grab and manipulation of
  sliders and scrollbars (132757, 138751).

* Allow the user to change the sensitivity of the XInput valuators
  (132132).

* Allow the user to select Dock and Fill modes for GOK from the
  "Settings" dialog (118222).

* Allow the user to specify an additional search directory for GOK
  keyboards (109181, 140929)

* by default we put the additional keys on the "XKB" Compose keyboard
  on the leftmost column instead of on a new row, to conserve space.

* Use libglade instead of glade-generated source files.

* Require libbonobo-2 2.5.1

* Better support for tables, including the ability to select rows in
  GNOME tables via GOK.

* Build and packaging fixes.

* Fixes for bugs: 133545, 117568, 138683, 129450, 136065, 136732,
  139495, 140051, 141996, 136877, 141240, more.
