25-Sep-2004 07:36 GMT: ANNOUNCE: ULB GNOME 2.8.0

[Reproduced from the SLE list]

That's right, a mere week and a half since the GNOME Platform and Desktop 2.8.0 was released, I'm happy to announce the availability of ULB GNOME 2.8.0 "Precedent, baby!".

Features include:

Evolution 2.0 - the new GNOME mail and groupware suite.
GNOME Panel/Evolution integration - view your Evolution appointments from the GNOME Panel Clock.
Gaim/Evolution integration - Gaim 1.0.0 is also available, and these packages are built with support for dragging contacts from Evolution, if they have IM IDs specified.
Tweaked default interface, including new default wallpaper to match the GDM theme and splash.
Galeon 1.3.17 - the latest version of the default ULB browser, based on Mozilla 1.7.2.
New theme "Glider" available through GNOME theme selector.
Improved method for adding items to the Panel.

Other packages will hopefully appear soon such as the remote desktop software and the GNOME System Tools. Also, expect an updated control- center2 package soon to fix the vanishing menu entries :)

These packages, as well as updated abiword, abiword-beta and gimp packages are available from the usr-local-bin APT component, or from http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms.
