Gnome libs 1.0.pre10-2




Hello guys,

   New beta version of the GNOME libraries is out for testing.  I
would like to give it another test pass before I make an official
gnome-libs-1.0.10 package.

   Please, test this package as much as you can.

* Notes

   Red Hat users, and other FSSTND users, please read the section at the bottom.

* Availability

   ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/testing

* Changes from gnome-libs-1.0.pre10 to gnome-libs-1.0.pre10-2

        * Documentation

		* Integrated Michael Zucchi Zvt widget manual and
		  reference manual.  Very very very nice manual
		  (Michael Zucchi, and some twidlling by me).

		* Proofread gnome-config.1 man page (Kjartan)

        * gnome-config

		* Fixed --modversion support (it was introduced in the
		  previous test release)

	* Fixes

		* GnomeIconList fixes to avoid crashes on some wierd
		  conditions (fixes a reported bug on gmc).

		* Memory leak fixing (George).

		* Accelerators for applications should get saved and
		  reloaded properly (Tim Janik).

		* Canvas line object fixes from James Henstridge.

		* Zvt should compile correctly on Solaris now (Brandon).

* Changes from gnome-libs-1.0.9 to gnome-libs-1.0.pre10

	* 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


Best wishes,
miguel.
