AppStream 0.7 specification and library released
Today I am very happy to announce the release of AppStream 0.7, the second-largest release (judging by commit number) after 0.6. AppStream 0.7 brings many new features for the specification, adds lots of good stuff to libappstream, introduces a new libappstream-qt library for Qt developers and, as always, fixes some bugs. Unfortunately we broke the […]

Some people asked me what the […]

GNOME 3 mit neuem Benachrichtigungssystem
Der GNOME 3- Desktop, die “GNOME-Shell” hat in der Version 2.29 (ein Preview des GNOME-Shell Previews für GNOME 2.30 :-D) ein neues Benachrichtigungssystem bekommen, welches eine Art Mischung aus dem Konzept von KDE und dem von Ubuntu verwendeten NotifyOSD darstellt. Wenn eine Nachricht vor liegt, z:b. das mounten eines USB-Sticks oder ein Teitelwechsel des Mediaplayers, […]
Infoseite zu GNOME 3.0
Auf der eigens eingerichteten Seite “Gnome3 Mythen” versucht das Projekt, diverse Unklarheiten und Falschmeldungen über die kommende Version des GNOME-Desktops zu widerlegen. Außerdem werden grundlegende Fragen wie “Brauche ich eine schnelle 3D-Grafikkarte” oder “Werde ich das GNOME-Panel weiter nutzen können?” beantwortet. Im Moment ist auf der Seite noch nicht allzu viel zu finden, ich halte […]
