Gummi

Gummi is now looking for people willing to translate Gummi into their native language. A new developer, Wei-Ning Huang, joined the project not longer than a day before, and has already provided the necessary code changes to support internalization. If you'd like to translate Gummi into your native language (and understand English well), leave a message on the appropriate bug listed here – or open a new issue if your language is not listed. Our preference would be to have one translator per language, who is also willing to update the translation file as Gummi gains new features (and thus more translatable strings). Your name & work will of course be credited on the website & about screen etc. More details on how to translate can be found here.

It has been brought to my attention that pygtk-2.17.0, the version that is shipped by both the new Ubuntu Lucid and Fedora 13, no longer offers the same functionality for its widget.get_name() function. As Gummi uses this particular function several times, the preferences screen for example is broken for 2.17.0 users. It remains inconclusive whether the former behavior of this function will return, so I figured a bugfix release was a necessity. Gummi 0.4.8 fixes the issues that those using pygtk-2.17.0 are having, and also contains some new features that were promised for 0.5.0. Most notably among them is the capability for spell-checking. The complete changelog can be viewed here. Enjoy 0.4.8!
 

I have just released one more maintenance update before the upcoming 0.5.0 milestone. Gummi 0.4.5 again offers many improvements, most noticeably the replacement of the GConf configuration by a default python module. A number of stability and memory issues should also have been fixed. Click here for the full changelist. All packages for the mayor distributions have been updated; enjoy 0.4.5! Note to packagers: GConf and gnome-python can be removed from the dependency list.
