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.
Kong Hee Fat Choy!

This is it! Over the hump, from here it's bugfixes, documentation and

This release highlights the seriously huge amount of work put in by the GNOME
Lovers last Sunday, as well as the more consistant contributors. Extra special
thanks go to Benoît Dejean for his fantastic work with multiload, and Ryan
Lortie for singlehandedly fixing almost every bug in battstat. I also want to
extend my more heartfelt thanks to anyone I've missed from this list, I
apologise for leaving you off, but with so many changes I'm sure I've missed
someone.
Everyone should remember to give their location some Location Loving (see bug
#160163) so that our l10n is absolutely rocking in GNOME 2.10. Thanks again
everyone for their hard work for 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."
* Plug a leak in stickynotes (Paolo Borelli)
* day/night differentiation in gweather (Frank Solensky)
* Sync locations with METAR database (Davyd Madeley, Frank Solensky)
* locations.dtd file (James Henstridge)
Translations:
* en_CA (Adam Weinberger)
* cs (Miloslav Trmac)
* sq (Laurent Dhima)
* ja (Takeshi AIHANA)
* lt (Žygimantas Beručka)
* bg (Vladimir Petkov, Alexander Shopov)

* ca (Jordi Mallach)
* da (Martin Willemoes Hansen)
* 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
==================================
Codenamed: "Revitalisation"
Really Big Changes:
* New volume applet (Ronald Bultje)
* New drivemount applet (James Henstridge)
* Deprecation of mailcheck using null_applet (Davyd Madeley)
* Trash Applet (Michiel Sikkes)
Less Big Changes:
* Latvian and Catalan keyboard layouts (Sergey Udaltsov)
* charpick now uses gucharmap for character descriptions (Davyd Madeley)
* Move lots of applets to GtkIconTheme (except stickynotes and possibly others)
(Davyd Madeley)
* Fix help crash in accessx (Leena Gunda)
* Neaten up the battstat preferences dialog (Davyd Madeley)
* Add option to display remaining time on the panel (Davyd Madeley)
* Fix charpick padding issues (Vincent Noel)
* New icons for geyes, gswitchit (Jakub Steiner)
* gswitchit fixes (Sergey Udaltsov, Kjartan Maraas)
* String composition fixes in gtik (Davyd Madeley)
* More locations in gweather (Davyd Madeley, Martin Kretzschmar, Kalle
Svensson, Gabriel M. Elder, Chris Kelso, Simos Xenitellis)
* Support for multiple locations per city (Frank Solensky)

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!
