[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.12.4

Jiří Techet — 2013-05-16T18:28:11

Hi!

It took quite a lot of silence since the last release in July last
year (mainly because of me being rather busy and also because nobody
complained too much) but finally there's a new release of
libchamplain.

Despite being a minor-version-number release, actually quite a lot of
code was changed. This was mainly because libchamplain has been
updated to use the "modern" Clutter API and get rid of all the
depreciation warnings. So libchamplain depends on Clutter 1.12 now.
The main commit was something like -2500/+500 lines of code so quite a
nice cleanup.

Speaking of cleanups, while migrating to the new Clutter, I realized
that I just keep getting lost in how ChamplainView handles coordinates
and decided to make some further cleanups which hopefully resulted in
much simpler and easier-to-read code in ChamplainView.

As a part of the spring cleaning, I have also removed the libchamplain
git repository from Gitorious. It seems nobody is really using it, I
keep forgetting to push the changes there and when someone submits a
patch there, I'm not notified about the change. It's always possible
to re-create the repository there when needed in the future.

Taking into account the amount of changed lines in this release, there
might be some bugs. But since nobody complained since the announcement
last week, I can expect that either there are no big bugs or that
nobody is using libchamplain any more...

...which actually doesn't seem to be the case since Zeeshan Ali, who
also contributed many patches into this release, started working on a
new gnome mapping application:

https://live.gnome.org/Maps

Good luck with the app!

Here's a brief list of changes made in this libchamplain release:

* Add dependency on clutter 1.12 and fix all the depreciation warnings
  (Jiří Techet, Zeeshan Ali)
* Many internal cleanups and minor improvements (Jiří Techet)
* Fix gtk and libsoup depreciation warnings (Jiří Techet)
* Deprecate CHAMPLAIN_MAP_SOURCE_OSM_OSMARENDER and CHAMPLAIN_MAP_SOURCE_OAM
  which don't exist any more and remove them from the factory (Jiří Techet)
* Deprecate ChamplainCustomMarker (Jiří Techet)
* Deprecate champlain_view_bin_layout_add() (Zeeshan Ali)
* Fix blurry map when view resized (Jiří Techet)
* Use more neutral map background color (Jiří Techet)
* Add champlain_view_get_bounding_box() and
champlain_bounding_box_covers() (Zeeshan Ali)
* Add a possibility to set a background texture (Nirbheek Chauhan)
* Add Mapquest Open Aerial map source (Zeeshan Ali)
* Added the possibility to use TMS correct y-axis (Samuel Gyger)
* Minor fixes and improvements (Zeeshan Ali, Evan Nemerson, Jiří Techet)

As always, the tarball can be downloaded here:

http://download.gnome.org/sources/libchamplain/0.12/libchamplain-0.12.4.tar.xz

Enjoy.

ANNOUNCE: Clutter 1.14.4 (stable)

Emmanuele Bassi — 2013-05-15T05:44:21

Good news, everyone!

A new Clutter release is now available at:

  http://download.gnome.org/sources/clutter/1.14/

SHA256 Checksum:

c996d91fff6fff24d9e23dcd545439ebc6b999fb1cf9ee44c28ca54c49c0ee1c
clutter-1.14.4.tar.xz

Additionally, a git clone of the source tree:
  git clone git://git.gnome.org/clutter

will include a signed 1.14.4 tag which points to a commit named:
  5f96faf259db61a4424f96ce944ae01493f6a4fd

which can be verified with:
  git verify-tag 1.14.4

and can be checked out with a command such as:
  git checkout -b build 1.14.4

Clutter is a library for creating compelling, dynamic and portable graphical
user interfaces. Clutter is released under the terms of the GNU Lesser
General Public License, version 2.1 or (at your option) later.

Clutter depends on:
  GLib ≥ 2.31.19
  JSON-GLib ≥ 0.12.0
  Cogl ≥ 1.14.0
  Cairo ≥ 1.10
  Pango ≥ 1.30
  Atk ≥ 2.5.3

Clutter also has platform-specific dependencies; for more information, see
the README file included in the release.

Documentation:
   Clutter: http://developer.gnome.org/clutter/stable/
  Cookbook: http://docs.clutter-project.org/docs//clutter-cookbook/1.0/

Release Notes:
  - This version is API and ABI compatible with the current stable
    release of Clutter.
  - Installing the contents of this release will overwrite the files
    from the installation of the current release of Clutter.
  - Bugs should be reported on the Clutter Bugzilla product, at:
    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=clutter


  • List of changes since Clutter 1.14.2

    - Fix GestureAction handling of multi-touch gestures

    - Add a paint callback for Stage updates
    This experimental API allows installing a notification function on
    ClutterStage that is called when the stage has finished drawing, but
    before the frame buffer is flushed. This function replaces the ::paint
    signal on the ClutterStage in a way that does not disable paint volume
    culling and optimizations.

    - Improve scaling behaviour in ZoomAction
    Instead of recomputing the scaling center, the action should use the
    pivot-point of the ClutterActor.

    - Documentation fixes

  • List of bugs fixed since Clutter 1.14.2

    #698668 - A few improvements to ClutterGestureAction
    #698671 - Refactor event handling code in ClutterGestureAction
    #698674 - Improve ClutterZoomAction behavior
    #698783 - Add a paint callback for ClutterStage

Many thanks to:

  Lionel Landwerlin


Have fun with Clutter!

ciao,
 Emmanuele.

GNOME Shell 3.8.2

Florian Müllner — 2013-05-13T23:52:58

About GNOME Shell
=================

GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3
desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME
Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware
and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a
visually attractive and easy to use experience.

Tarball releases are provided largely for distributions to build
packages. If you are interested in building GNOME Shell from source,
we would recommend building from version control using the build
script described at:

 http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell

Not only will that give you the very latest version of this rapidly
changing project, it will be much easier than get GNOME Shell and its
dependencies to build from tarballs.

Mutter 3.8.2

Florian Müllner — 2013-05-13T23:52:17

About mutter
============

Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages
your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display
engine using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic
inherited from the Metacity window manager.

While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be
used as the display core of a larger system such as GNOME Shell. For
this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which are used
both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window management
behaviors to meet the needs of the environment.

PyGObject 3.8.2 released

Martin Pitt — 2013-05-13T15:41:40

I am pleased to announce version 3.8.2 of the Python bindings for
GObject, corresponding to the stable GNOME 3.8.2 release.

Download
========
The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org:

http://download.gnome.org/sources/pygobject/3.8/pygobject-3.8.2.tar.xz
  sha256sum: caa6507edb8cca56e781bf927d88ce99581e1df9978b59a3360cfb74bd9c15f5

What’s new since PyGObject 3.8.1
=================================
 - Fix vfunc info search for classes with multiple inheritance
   (Simon Feltman) (#700092)
 - Fix closure argument conversion for enum and flag in args
   (Simon Feltman)
 - Fix marshaling Python to FFI return value for enum and flags
   (Simon Feltman)
 - Use correct class for GtkEditable's get_selection_bounds() function
   (Mike Ruprecht) (#699096)
 - Test results of g_base_info_get_name for NULL (Simon Feltman)
   (#698829)

   (Simon Feltman) (#698366)
 - Remove Python keyword escapement in Repository.find_by_name
   (Simon Feltman) (#697363)
 

About PyGObject
===============
GObject is a object system used by GTK+, GStreamer and other libraries.

PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for use in Python programs when
accessing GObject libraries.

Like the GObject library itself PyGObject is licensed under the GNU
LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary
applications. It is already in use in many applications ranging from
small single purpose scripts up to large full featured applications.

PyGObject now dynamically accesses any GObject libraries that uses
GObject Introspection. It replaces the need for separate modules such as
PyGTK, GIO and python-gnome to build a full GNOME 3.0 application. Once
new functionality is added to gobject library it is instantly available
as a Python API without the need for intermediate Python glue.

What is Rygel?

Rygel is a home media solution that allows you to easily share audio, video and
pictures, and control of media player on your home network. In technical terms
it is both a UPnP AV MediaServer and MediaRenderer implemented through a plug-in
mechanism. Interoperability with other devices in the market is achieved by
conformance to very strict requirements of DLNA and on the fly conversion of
media to format that client devices are capable of handling.

GNOME Shell 3.9.1

Florian Müllner — 2013-04-30T22:22:06

About GNOME Shell
=================

GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3
desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME
Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware
and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a
visually attractive and easy to use experience.

Tarball releases are provided largely for distributions to build
packages. If you are interested in building GNOME Shell from source,
we would recommend building from version control using the build
script described at:

 http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell

Not only will that give you the very latest version of this rapidly
changing project, it will be much easier than get GNOME Shell and its
dependencies to build from tarballs.

Mutter 3.9.1

Florian Müllner — 2013-04-30T22:21:11

About mutter
============

Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages
your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display
engine using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic
inherited from the Metacity window manager.

While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be
used as the display core of a larger system such as GNOME Shell. For
this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which are used
both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window management
behaviors to meet the needs of the environment.
