Compiz Fusion Community News Edition 13

Geplaatst op door

Summary: Hello and thanks for reading! We’ve made some exiting progress this week in bugs, features and the website. Just to get this out of the way, it is now safe to upgrade Compiz Fusion as we have fixed most plugins against the new action system and we have also fixed (and done some major changes) to the action handling in LibCompizConfig and CompizConfig Settings Manager. Hope you enjoy this entry!

News in bugs:

  • Fixed most plugins against the new action system. One popular one that hasn’t been fixed yet is the Screensaver plugin by Nicholas Viennot. I have provided a patch on the forum to fix this.
  • Fix group-tab crashes when you drag from one group to another
  • ‘Widget’ option removed from Window Rules as it’s now provided by widget
  • You can use return, backspace and escape to cancel a keybinding being set in CCSM
  • ‘All’ category added to CCSM
  • LibCompizConfig and CCSM adapted to use new action system, you should now be able to configure your actions again.

News in Feautres:

Well, a lot more happened in features this week. Notable points being the CCSM action re-haul, which is now a lot more user friendly.

CCSM Re-Haul

Well, the CompizConfig Settings Manager action configuration has now been re-hauled. Now, instead of one actions page which has the settings for all key, button, bell and edge bindings, we now have actions placed appropriately in groups, where existing options may already be, where is makes sense. Some screenshots are below.

openSuse 10.3 beta 2

Geplaatst op door

De ontwikkelaars van openSuse hebben de tweede bètaversie uitgebracht van openSuse 10.3. OpenSuse is sinds ongeveer een jaar de nieuwe naam van Suse Linux om verwarring met Suse Linux Enterprise-producten te voorkomen. Zoals gewoonlijk zijn er verschillende uitgaves binnen te halen, een volledige dvd met opensource- en niet-opensourceonderdelen, een cd voor een kale installatie met KDE of Gnome en verschillende cd’s met extra software en add-ons. De aankondiging van deze tweede bètaversie ziet er als volgt uit:

The openSUSE Team is proud to announce the release of openSUSE 10.3 Beta 2. Though this release should not be used on any production machines, everyone can help shape this release by testing out installations and much more. For more information on the release schedule, take a look at the Roadmap.

Technical Changes:

  • Linux 2.6.22.3
  • glibc 2.6.1
  • YaST infrastructure improved to allow writing complete YaST modules without using YCP (e.g. exclusively in Perl, Python or Ruby)
  • Bootloader-related improvements: openSUSE 10.3 will use “chainloader” if it detects additional installations’ bootloader code in other partitions, otherwise “configfile” sections will be used (see Call for Testing below!)
  • Improved package lists of 1-CD GNOME and KDE
  • Countless bug fixes, all over the place
