[Announcement] Awn and Awn Extras 0.2.6 released!

After months of development, Awn and Awn Extras 0.2.4 has been released!
[Q]



This version of one of the most popular open source docks includes non-Gnome desktop environment support, an updated Awn Manager UI, and support for writing applets in Vala, the C#-like language for GObjects.
[Q]



For the applets, in addition to a plethora of new applets, there is a rewritten build system, shared libraries for applets to use, the GMail applet has been renamed to the Mail applet, Stacks has an experimental GUI, and BlingSwitcher has been removed due to license issues and lack of a maintainer.
[Q]



(UPDATE: Awn/Awn Extras 0.2.6 has been released because of build issues, etc. found after the release of 0.2.4)
[Q]



For more information (and to download the tarballs), see the Launchpad release pages:

We just missed feature freeze for Hardy on this. I don't know if it's considered to much of a update to get it in. Gillir?

I hope this can make it, as it'd be a pain to keep supporting the ubuntu users for the next year.

and find argument to "why 0.2.4 should go to Hardy".
If not, backport will be available in a PPA :)

Yeah, there are most likely way too many changes to be given an exception. If you want to blame someone for changing so much code in Awn, blame me :)
[Q]



On the other hand, 0.2.4 does fix several segfaults, etc., so it's worth a shot :)

I think the same, too many new stuff and so many reason to push it into Hardy. Yes there is bug fix, but 0.2.1 was very stable too :)
If you want to blame somebody, blame Ubuntu devs for the Freeze :)

I agree, we should really try to get an exception due to all the bugs fixed. The only thing is that 0.2.4 doesn't have extensive testing.

That, I think, will be the main problem. But I do think that supporting all of the 0.2.1 users will be a giant pain for applet developers (and will continue to make it hard to get accepted into repos due to things like incorrect .desktop files..)

So, if you want to help, prepare arguments, as I'm not very good for doing this in english :p
I'll do the rest, it should be fast (most of the work is already done).

Can I just add, by the time hardy comes out, Awn will be blissfully moving along with more blingy stuff. I am 100% sure people will be looking to update to the latest and greatest, or will be running trunk, so this maybe less of a problem than we think. Having a PPA up-and-ready to update all those boxes should be good enough.

Also, I think it would be nice if the awn-core PPA contained pseudo-official packages of releases, such as gutsy/hardy packages for the recently released Awn/Awn Extras 0.2.6.

I would suggest installing from our PPA:

Even though we don't have 0.2.6 in there, 0.3.1 is stable "enough" for day-to-day use.

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy and I cannot find awn-extras to install. I checked out about a dozen forum posts and howtos.
[Q]



At the howto here someone else is having the same problem as me: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-AWN-on-Hardy-Heron-82611.shtml. No solution is posted and I still cannot find the awn-extras-applets-trunk package.
[Q]



I'm thinking maybe I should install the tar.gz with 0.2.6 since the instructions at https://launchpad.net/~awn-testing/+archive leave me without access to the extras/applets.
[Q]



I appreciate any advice.

Why and when did you change from png graphics to svg? Your supplied stock of svg is pretty poor and I can't find a program that even opens svg, let alone converts to it.furious3

Awn (in particular, Awn Manager) has had at least one SVG icon since 0.2.1 (~October 2007).
[Q]



Out of curiosity, why are you trying to open the SVG files?
[Q]



Because SVG is a vector graphics format, there aren't very many programs that convert *to* SVG, but there are several that convert *from* SVG to a raster format such as PNG.
[Q]



You can open SVG files in Inkscape, a vector graphics editor.

Absolutely everyone is longing for a designer watch but always restrained by the limited financial institution account. In that situation, why not try out the related replica watch of high good quality? breitling copy It truly is the precise copy from the original model with every detail cautiously crafted. By the initial sight in the counterfeit watch chopard replica watches , that you are susceptible to mistaken it a genuine piece. omega watch sales
