Gnome Libs test release is out. Please test




Hello guys,

   A new release of gnome-libs is out, this is a test release and it
is available in:

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

   Please, test this as much as possible and let us know of any
problems with it.

   Lots of fixes, documentation improvements and polished features are
available in this release.

Changes:

* Libgnorba

      * Now catches recursive definitions of object servers (Michael
	Meeks)

      * Enhanced error checking and error reporting (Havoc
        Pennington). 

* LibZvt

      * Supports regexp matching and action binding (Michael Zucchi). 

        This plus the new gnome-terminal enable people to
        shift-click-right on a url and netscape will be launched on
        the url.   Or just press right-button on a highlited url to
        get a pop-up menu which contains "Open URL"

      * Termios is properly initialized (Alan Cox, Michael Zucchi).

      * Upgraded emulation to handle more changes in the recent xterm
        terminfo definition (should fix alternate screen on recent
        Linux systems), Michael.

      * Fixed mouse support support the 2 mouse modes.  Fixes 1888
        (Michael again).

      * Should compile fine with Solaris's broken linker.

* Canvas

      * Fixes to speed up the canvas-item-text.  This should improve a
        lot the text-intensive applications in Gnome (GnomeCal comes
        to mind) by Federico Mena. 

* Druid

      * More improvements for the Gnome Druid (Jonathan)

* Fixes

      * gnome-exec now makes stdin, stdout, stderr for child process
        be /dev/null, fixes bug #1548 (Elliot Lee). 

      * GnomeDock has been updated to handle the upcoming Gtk drawing
        setup (Ettore Perazzoli).

      * Fixed gnome-config to handle the GNOME_LIBCONFIG_PATH and
        GNOME_PATH support (Elliot Lee).

      * Fixed Gnome-Dns and enhance it by Roberto Zunino.

      * Pressing escape on the color selector will close the dialog.

* Translations

      * Added more languages, updated various.  They are still not
        finished, check please http://www.gnome.org/i18n/status.html
        for details on the various translation efforts.

* Interop

      * Added --with-kde-datadir to find out the kde icons (Jacob
        Berkman).

* Libart

      * Various small and important fixes from Raph Levien and Larry
        Ewing. 

* Startup

      * We now set the LC_TYPE to en_US if it is not set already, this
        is done to avoid using the fallback "C" locale which does not
        support 8-bit chars (Anders Calrlsson).

      * Gnome Segv does not connect to the session manager (Havoc
        Pennington)

      * Gnome Segv will now generate a core dump to allow people to
        debug things (me).

* Internationalization work

      * Aliases are now read, so we can handle properly various
        aliases on desktop files (George Lebl).

* Documentation
 
      * GtkDial, GnomeStock, GtkClock, GnomeDialog, GnomeSpell,
        GnomeColorPicker, GNomeNumberEntry, GnomeHRef fixes and
        updates from Tim Gerla.

      * More work on libart documentation (Raph).

Enjoy,
Miguel.
