Links: Rockbox, GNU releases, and FFII’s petition

Posted by ciaran on Monday, October 6th, 2008 0

Rockbox 3.0 is out! – I’ve installed it and it’s working well. The default theme is nice, and radio seems to work on my iRiver H10. On the downloads page you can see what pocket music players are supported.
GIMP 2.6 is out too! The user-interface has been improved so that the toolboxes shouldn’t get lost under image windows anymore, all toolboxes are dockable in the toolbox window now, and the menubar now appears in the image window(s) instead of the toolbox window.
FFII’s new anti-swpat petition is still in draft, so comments should still be made
More release announcements: GnuTLS 2.6.0 and coreutils 7.0
…and Nick Clifton has started a series of blogs describing monthly changes in the GNU Toolchain (gcc, binutils, newlib and possibly gdb as well), which I hope he continues.
