GNOME Power Manager 2.31.6

[news 28]

Version 2.31.6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Released: 2010-08-06

 

* Important note:

- This is 2.31.6, which is forked from the gnome-2-30 branch.

- If you have been using 2.31.5 or any earlier 2.31 version, then you will

notice the UI and functionality going back in time. This is unfortunate.

- GNOME 3 has been pushed back 6 months, and the GSettings and GtkApplication

code is not ready for prime-time just yet. I'm not willing to add multiple

levels of ifdef'd code for the n-permutations of distros on different GTK

and GLib versions, so people are just going to make do with 3.30.x with

a few backported bugs and translation fixes. I do apologise to the

translators, who have wasted some time on translating git master.

- This release does not use the new control center panel, GDBus or GSettings.

- I don't intend on wasting time backporting features from git master into

GNOME 2.32.x. Bugfixes will be, where they make sense.

- In my personal opinion, GNOME 2.32.0 is going to blow goats.
