GNOME System Tools 2.27.2 released

[Milan Bouchet-Valat <nalimilan club fr>]

Yet another release! I've eventually put myself at cleaning all the
patches waiting in Bugzilla, as well as downstream patches that were
used for a long time. That makes up a nice list of changes!

As the g-s-t are waking up, with a few contributors, you're welcome to
enter the party!


GNOME System Tools Version 2.27.2, 2009-07-27
-----------------------------------------------

The GNOME System Tools version 2.27.2 have been released.

The GNOME System Tools are a set of cross-platform configuration
utilities for Linux and other Unix systems. The frontends knows nothing
about the underlying system and provide the same user interface across
the different types of systems. Internally they use the Liboobs library.
