news 28 Posted April 21, 2008 GNOME Media 2.23.1.1 is now available at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-media/2.23 368544fe513459dac61564c191f43393 gnome-media-2.23.1.1.tar.bz2 43d5f2159be1fbaa61dda3d3e9ea1d62 gnome-media-2.23.1.1.tar.gz What is it? =========== GNOME Media is a set of GNOME multimedia tools. - gnome-volume-control: GStreamer-based volume control - gnome-sound-recorder: a simple audio recorder - gnome-audio-profiles: GStreamer-based audio encoding profiles - gstreamer-properties: GStreamer a/v input/output configuration but not anymore GNOME-CD, CDDB-Slave, and VuMeter. Changes since 2.22.0: * GNOME-cd, CDDB-slave-2, vumeter are all disabled by default starting from this release: - Rhythmbox, SoundJuicer or any other music players are better suited to play audio CDs. - If you use PulseAudio, we suggest you to use pavumeter instead of vumeter. * gnome-sound-recorder now has a slick new icon, and a record level indicator, which might have ui/usability improvements. * UTF-8 filename support improved in gnome-sound-recorder. * gnome-volume-control has dropped libgnomeui dependency, and improved themability: "Now we just need a pixel pusher to make us some nice tango icons for the remaining icons", Jaap said. * various code cleanups What's cooking for next release (almost ready): * 516090, 404877: GIO port, use GtkRecentManager * 524364: GtkBuilder * 513612 and 422719: GNOME-Media relicensing See also http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap/GnomeMedia Those bugs are marked with high priority. Help is always appreciated! :-) If you would like to pick one, leave a note in the bug to avoid effort duplication. * 171070: Hangs when recording is done on a file where there is no permission (sound-recorder) * 387400: remove new button and new menuitem from the GUI (sound-recorder) * 359037: crash in Rhythmbox, edit profile * 462164: should listen bus events (volume-control) * 479757: sound-juicer does not properly delete profiles * 169381: PCM is too technical for all but audio engineers (volume-control) * 109621: documentation: what does the sound recorder record? * 365607: Lock button status should be visible for blind access. (volume-control) Bugs fixed: * 349106: specify tab at startup (volume-control) * 349106: open capture page of volume-control (sound-recorder) * 448706: use gtk_stock_add to avoid crash when started multiple times (profiles) * 504422: move code comments to avoid them being close to translatable strings (profiles) * 519544: fix mixer access when the list of options change (volume-control) * 415353: only show a separator at the left of the playback control if a previous control has been visible (volume-control) * 516831: mark window title for translation (sound-recorder) * 521919: "Help/Help Ctrl+H" renamed to "Help/Contents F1" (sound-recorder) * 430824: return FALSE when track_info is NULL (GNOME-cd) * 493503: more checking before string comparisons (sound-recorder) * 430616: recording level indication in the statusbar * 483254: fix utf8 crash * 494031 and 310883: use GtkUIManager, use tango icons if possible and make all icons themeable (volume-control) * 524097: disable gnome-cd, vu-meter and cddb-slave by default * 504420: use more GTK stock text (sound-recorder) * 504419: use ngettext for plural forms Thanks to all the contributors for this nice release: - Patrick Wade - Stephen Brandt - Jaap A. Haitsma - Takao Fujiwara - Tilman Weiers - Gabor Kelemen - Loïc Minier - Andrea Del Signore and others.
