Changes in GNOME-Aplets 2.12.0
================================
"Gilded Stars and Zealous Hearts"
This is the official GNOME 2.12 release of the gnome-applets package.
Significant changes in this release as compared with the last stable release
include a totally revamped stickynotes user interaction model, a switch to
gnome-doc-utils for the user manuals (for improved translations), fast
location searching in the weather applet and a new smaller battery capacity
indicator for the battery applet. There have also been many bug fixes,
small enhancements and portability fixes throughout.
Support for obtaining battery capacity information through the freedesktop
HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) has also been added. If you encounter any
problems with the battery applet as compared to previous versions, please
ensure that you are using the latest version of HAL. If the problem
persists please let us know about it at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/.

Apologies for the lateness and rushedness of this release. It's been hard to
get access to the real internet for long periods of time. GNOME-Applets is now
considered feature frozen for the 2.11/12 release cycle. If any really important
features forget to get committed, then you should mail me, because I suck, and
we'll try to appeal the freeze.

Heaps of other stuff too, but my hands are too cold to type it all in. Thanks
to everyone, especially the translators, who my digits are too frozen to really
appreciate line by line.
file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.

Thanks again to everyone, especially the excellent work put in by the
translators. Everyone should try and give all applets testing for 2.10,
especially the accessx-applet, which some people have reported having problems
with.
Please be aware we are now in string freeze, as per the string freeze policy
outlined by the GNOME Release Team. THIS FREEZE ALSO APPLIES TO THE LOCATIONS
DATABASE! What this means is that "Locations Love" can continue, but in a
reduced form. LOCATIONS CAN STILL BE REMOVED AND RESTRUCTURED, however
translatable strings cannot be changed. If you are in doubt, please contact the
maintainer (davyd@madeley.id.au) or the translation team (gnome-i18n@gnome.org)
for clarification. We will strive to notify people of any changes to this policy
(this is unlikely).
Contributors are also asked to turn towards our documentation, which is
currently woefully inadequate due to the significant number of rewritten applets
in this release.

world.
Changes in GNOME-Applets 2.9.3
==================================
Codenamed: "Exuberance!"
It's a day late, but at least it's tested. This new release contains numerous
fixed and translations as listed below. Gweather is slowly being improved with
new METAR parsing code and more localizations to the Locations database.
Testers and translators should check out locations in their area and make sure
they are localized appropriately. More information can be found in bug #160163.

Campos)

Changes in GNOME-Applets 2.9.2
==================================
Codenamed: "The System of the World"
Really Big Changes:
* CPUFreq Applet (Carlos Garcia Campos)
Less Big Changes:
* Support for transparent panels: battstat, drivemount, mixer, multiload,
stickynotes, trashapplet
(Davyd Madeley, Ronald Bultje, James Henstridge)
* HIG Fixes (Dennis Cranston)
* Change charpicker to have soft dependency on Gucharmap (Davyd Madeley)
* Remove use of deprecated acconfig.h (Davyd Madeley)
* Fix padding issues in drivemount (James Henstridge)
* gswitchit no longer requires gkb (Sergey Udaltsov)
"Small step for CVS, big leap for humankind."

* day/night differentiation in gweather (Frank Solensky)
* Sync locations with METAR database (Davyd Madeley, Frank Solensky)
* locations.dtd file (James Henstridge)

* nb (Kjartan Maraas)
* no (Kjartan Maraas)
* nl (Tino Meinen)
* it (Marco Ciampa)
This release has lots of new features for gweather, such the separate day/night icons. This requires the latest gnome-icon-theme as well as a <coordinates>
entry for your location in Locations.xml.in.
Locations.xml.in has been synced with the METAR list of locations, and as a
result may have picked up some regressions. Everyone should check out locations
close to them geographically and fix up names and such. Some cities contain
multiple locations, Location [123]..., it would be great if all of these
contained actual names. Since I don't happen to live in those cities, it's
rather hard.
Changes in GNOME-Applets 2.9.1

Stay tuned for more cool things like: day/night differentiation in gweather and
hopefully the inclusion of a CPUFreq monitoring applet. Development has finally
been revitalised. Since we don't have our own mailing list, we are staging a
hostile takeover of gnome-utils-list, which has now become the primary list for
Applets based discussion.
Remember, GNOME 2.9 is the unstable development branch of the GNOME desktop,
work on the stable tree such as bugfixes, translations and documentation should
take place on the gnome-2-8 branch.
Thanks everyone for contributing, especially if I accidently forgot you, and
stay tuned for GNOME Applets 2.9.2 next month!

Thanks to everyone who contributed (especially anyone I forgot to name). GNOME
Applets is now is code freeze until the branch for 2.9. This means that only
release critical bugs will be fixed. Please check for duplicates before filing
bugs, but don't simply assume that someone else has filed it. Translators and
documenters should be aware that they may of course continue working on GNOME
Applets, and are uneffected by the freeze.
