GNOME System Tools Version 1.1.3, 2004-12-21 ------------------------------------------ The GNOME System Tools version 1.1.3 "Dedicated to Dimebag Darrell" have been released. The GNOME System Tools are a set of cross-platform configuration utilities for Linux and other Unix systems. Internally they are divided in frontends and backends. The frontend knows nothing about the underlying system and provides the same user interface across the different types of systems. The backend knows how to read and write the configuration information. The GNOME System Tools do not impose a new database on the system: they work with the default configuration files so that configuration can still be done by hand or by other tools. Right now the GNOME System Tools fully support various distros/OS such as: Redhat, Mandrake, SuSE, Fedora, Debian, Gentoo, Slackware, FreeBSD, OpenNA, PLD, Vine and Specifix. WARNING: Being a testing release, by default all the tool will be compiled Changes since last release ========================== General ======= - Async communication with backend, allowing frontends to show a dialog if a directive takes too long (garnacho) - Added entry filters for IP addresses (both version 4 and 6) (garnacho) - Used GOption instead of popt (garnacho) Network ======= - Fully rewritten tool, it now allows a more instant-apply model, setting the configuration on the fly, even when it haven't touched configuration files still, it will also allow non-root apps (such as a location applet) to know which profiles/locations are available. The new UI won't allow to create interfaces that don't exist. Fixes a bunch of bugs (garnacho) Shares ====== - Use IP filters (garnacho) Users ===== - Preserve user in groups that don't have a description (garnacho) Translations ============ - ca (Josep Puigdemont i Casamajó) - de (Hendrik Brandt) - eu (Iaki Larraaga) - fi (Pauli Virtanen) - fr (Luc Rebert) - ja (Takeshi AIHANA) - ko (Young-Ho Cha) - lt (Žygimantas Beručka) - ru (Russian team) - sk (Marcel Telka) - zh_CN (Funda Wang) Downloading =========== You can get it from : ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-system-tools/1.1/
