gnome-libs 1.0.pre10: test release is out.

[Miguel de Icaza <miguel nuclecu unam mx>]

Hello guys,

   I have placed version 1.0.pre10 of gnome-libs on:

ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/testing/gnome-libs-1.0.pre10.tar.gz

   I would appreciate a lot if people could test this version and
install this on an existing system where GNOME has been installed and
tell me if everything works fine and nothing breaks.

   I will release 1.0.10 on wednesday if no problems are found on this
release.  Please test as much as you can.

   If you are installing in Red Hat 6.0 (or Red Hat 5.2 and you are
using the Red Hat RPMS, please read the section at the end).

* New in this release

	* Documentation

		* Man page for gnome-config program, includes sample
		  usage of it in Makefiles and how to write Conf.sh
		  modules (me).

		* TODO.sgml included that describes the status of
		  documentation for gnome-libs (Federico)

		* Includes new version of the FAQ.

		* gnome-app-helper documented (me).

		* gnome-mdi documentation updated (Jaka).

	* gnome-config

		* Now supports per-module version information:
		  --modversion.

		* Can scan more than one directory for Conf.sh files.
		  It uses the environment variable
		  GNOME_LIBCONFIG_PATH to pull a list of directories
		  that contain Conf.sh files. 
		  
		  (ie, you can finally use gnome-config to install
		  third party libraries on your RH system without
		  requiring root).

	* CORBA:

		* GNOME::object renamed to GNOME::obj, given that
		  object is a reserved word in every possible case
		  combination in CORBA (Elliot, me).

		* Renamed GNOME::Editor and GNOME::File to
		  Desktop::File and Desktop::Editor.

	* Translations:

		* Slovak (Bobo Rajec).

		* British (Robert).

	* GNORBA:

		* Added server launching debugging extensions
		  (Elliot).

	* Zvt

		* Start support for for 2-byte fonts (Michael Zucchi).

		* Supports xterm-like extend-select mechanism (Michael
		  Zucchi). 

		* Make the background image drawing work properly with
		  tiled images. 

		* Fixed various bugs from the bug tracking system.

	* Fixes:

		* Various bug fixes spotted by David Kaelbling
	 	  (comparission instead of assignments in a couple of
		  places).

		* Gnome-moz-remote escapes the "," character now
		  (Owen).

		* Gnome canvas memory leak fix (Morten, Federico)

		* Gnome canvas images redraw queuing fixes (Federico)

		* Gnome calculator does factorials better (Robert Brady).

* Notes on deploying on Red Hat 6.0
   
   For Red Hat 6.0 users or other FSSTND users, you will need to
configure, compile and install gnome-libs like this:

	./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib
	make
	make prefix=/usr sysconfdir=/etc install


Happy hacking!
Miguel.
