The xdg-utils package is a set of simple scripts that provide basic
desktop integration functions for any Free Desktop, such as Linux.
They are intended to provide a set of defacto standards. This means
that:
* Third party software developers can rely on these xdg-utils for
all of their simple integration needs.
* Developers of desktop environments can make sure that their
environments are well supported
If a desktop developer wants to be certain that their environment
functions with all third party software, then can simply make sure
that these utilities work properly in their environment. This will
hopefully mean that 'third tier' window managers such as XFCE and
Blackbox can reach full parity with Gnome and KDE in terms of third
party ISV support.
* Distribution vendors can provide custom versions of these utilities
If a distribution vendor wishes to have unusual systems, they can
provide custom scripts, and the third party software should still
continue to work.
whohas is a command line tool that allows querying several package
lists at once. whohas is written in Perl and was designed to help
package maintainers find ebuilds, pkgbuilds and similar package
definitions from other distributions to learn from. However, it
can also be used by normal users who want to know:
- Which distribution has packages available for apps upon whom the
user depends.
- What version of a given package is in use in each distribution,
or in each release of a distribution (implemented only for Debian).
-Improved support for unicode in filenames and directories.
-Reverted compression of backups from gz to bz2 again, to circumvent a
bug under Windows with unicode directory names.
-Wrote a plugin to always shuffle the revision queue, for users who want
to override the prioritised scheduling introduced in Mnemosyne 1.1.
This plugin can also be downloaded from
http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/node/142
-Only open the sound system when needed in order to save CPU time
(patch by marmuta).
-More robust upgrading from old Mnemosyne versions.
-Fix bug where default export location was incorrectly specified.
-Reword statistics dialog to make clear that we only show data for
the next week.
-Norwegian translation by Petter Goksoyr Asen.
The Mousetweaks package provides mouse accessibility enhancements
for the GNOME desktop. These enhancements are:
1. It offers a way to perform the various clicks without using any
hardware button.
2. It allows users to perform a right click by doing a click&hold
of the left mousebutton. (For a left-handed mouse user, the termes
left and right have to be inverted.)
3. It provides an applet that the user can install on a panel. This
applet creates an area on the panel into which the pointer can be
captured until the user releases it with a predefined button and
modifier combination.
The options can be accessed through the Accessibility tab of the
Mouse Preferences of GNOME Control Center or through command-line.

What's new in GOK 2.24.0?

* Stability based bug fixes, and updated translations.
Lots of "Fix for bug #..." and translation update entries removed.

NOTE: There have been keybindings changes for this release.
* Instead of Orca+F1 to enter learn mode, the binding is now
Orca+h.
* Instead of Orca+{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} to read the last nth message
that was presented in an application such as gaim or gnome-mud, the
binding is now Orca+{F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6,F7,F8,F9}.
* The debugging keys have been rebound as well. The new bindings
are Orca+Ctrl+Alt+{the following}, where {the_following} is one
of:
End - report active script info
Home - print list of known apps and their windows
Page_Up - print locus of focus ancestry
Page_Down - print accessible hierarchy of active application
Magnification:
* Support "live updating" when setting various magnification features
Changes made to the zoomer in the Orca Preferences now update in
real time: it is no longer necessary to press the Apply button to
see if the option you've chosen works for you and then undo it or
adjust it if it doesn't. Note that you must still press the Apply
or the OK button to make your changes permanent.
Performance and Quality:
* Much work on performance (bug #491756). If you have specific areas
that you think are slow, please let us know the exact details. These
performance fixes also rely upon fixes being made in other modules
(pyorbit, pyatspi) for the GNOME 2.21.4 release.
* Completed major pylinting work (bug #486726). This helped us
greatly and found a few latent bugs.
2.21.3 - 03-Dec-2007
General:
* Lots and lots of pylint'ing (bug #486726)
* Beginning of work on performance (bug #491576). We still have a bit
of work to do. We actually have some changes, but we're not comfortable
with them yet.
2.21.2 - 12-Nov-2007
2.21.1 - 28-Oct-2007
2.21.0 - 03-Oct-2007

the code of observer.
