[ANNOUNCE] GNOME Utilities 2.18.0 - "Don't Get Lost In Heaven"



good news, everyone!

here's the shiny new release of the GNOME Utilities, the first of the
2.18 stable cycle.

thanks to the hard work of the gnome-utils maintainers, developers,
documenters and translators, this release is ready to rock your world.

for those not following the development releases, here's what's changed
since the last stable release:

 * Baobab
   + Show the type of file system in the preferences dialog
   + Removed the search function, as it replicated the search tool
   + Added the ring chart view to immediately show the disk usage
   + Reduced the memory usage

 * Dictionary
   + Better support for multi-head environments
   + Automatically look up the selected word
   + Show cross-references as clickable links
   + Allow editing of dictionary sources
   + Add a Thai dictionary source
 
 * Floppy
   + GFloppy build can be explicitly disabled

 * Screenshot
   + Fix drag and drop of the preview image
   + Show an interactive dialog when launched from the menu or the panel
 
 * Search Tool
   + Fix collisions when moving files to the Trash

 * System Log Viewer
   + Fix behaviour when the log files are moved or deleted

and, obviously, loads of bugs have been fixed in every component of the
gnome-utils package.

for those following the unstable cycle, here are the changes from the
last unstable release:
