A new minor release of libmks is out. Mostly containing small fixes that should make the rendering perfectly smooth. The next step is to get clipboard sharing and USB redirection working. The library is also available on https://download.gnome.org/sources/libmks/0.1/ if people wish to start testing/packaging it.
I released the version 0.1.0 of Package Transporter.
This application is meant to facilitate migration from an installation to another. Currently, the application can only backup Flatpak applications, their settings and data.
This is only a preview release as you cannot restore a backup of your apps yet.
I am happy to announce the release of Portfolio 1.0.0! This new release is the first step in the modernization process to GTK 4 and Libadwaita. It’s also a continuation to my efforts of bringing a minimalist file manager to the mobile Linux community, with a few important bug fixes.
Flare 0.10.0 got released. There were tons of features, UI improvements and fixes compared to the last TWIG (with also 4 minor releases), so I will just list for the most notable ones. For all the changes, consult the changelog.
One can now receive notifications when someone reacts to a message (if one wants that to happen).
Added support for libspelling.
Fixed some major performance issues.
Deleting messages of a channel locally.
Added blurhash support, such that even unloaded images and videos look great.
Tons of UI improvements.
Many fixes.
There were some organizational changes made to my Linux mobile related apps in general:
Updated descriptions and a new common namespace. You can now find all my projects for Linux mobile in this GitLab group.
We now also have an Mastodon Account. We will post any updates to the apps right here.
I’ve been editing down the day-long GUADEC 2023 streams into individual talks. To help share how I approached this using some excellent apps designed for GNOME, I provided instructions and a couple of videos on the GitLab issue. Hopefully this can help people in the future for GUADEC and other conferences.
Huge thanks to HappiePlant NL from YouTube for providing comprehensive timestamps for each GUADEC 2023 talk! This type of work is often too invisible in the community, and yet is an excellent way to contribute. The next step is to get the videos actually uploaded to the channel with proper titles and descriptions—look forward to that soon.
The Foundation team is ramping up for GNOMEASIA. The call for papers is available at: https://events.gnome.org/event/170/abstracts/ and we are excited for your submission. Be on the look out for registration, hotel info and more! And, as always, we are on the look out for sponsors! Please reach out to us if you or your company would like to participate.
That’s all for this week!
See you next week, and be sure to stop by #thisweek:gnome.org with updates on your own projects!
