Re: Looking for unit tests written for GNOME 2 back in 2004

Perhaps:

 https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gtkvts

These were contributed by Sun when they got involved with GNOME, and
were later used in the LSB test framework.

I have to say that these tests, while very extensive, were not
developed together with the GTK+ code base, so they tended to test the
API at a superficial level, rather than trying to ensure correct
functionality of the library. They also will have little relevance to
current versions of GNOME.

Realized this sounds wrong - of course they tried to ensure the
correct functionality of the library - and they did find bugs and
regressions. What I meant was that because they were separately
developed, the GTK+ maintainers weren't actively contributing test
cases for new functionality, for tricky corner cases, or when
regressions were found.

GNOME 3.38.5 released

2021-03-23 Thread Michael Catanzaro

Hi,

GNOME 3.38.5 is now available. This is a stable bugfix release for 
3.38. All distributions shipping GNOME 3.38 are encouraged to upgrade.


If you want to compile GNOME 3.38.5, you can use the official 
BuildStream project snapshot:


https://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/3.38.5/gnome-3.38.5.tar.xz

The list of updated modules and changes is available here:

https://download.gnome.org/core/3.38/3.38.5/NEWS

The source packages are available here:

https://download.gnome.org/core/3.38/3.38.5/sources/

GNOME 3.38.5 is designed to be a safe, boring update to GNOME 3.38, the 
final stable release in the GNOME 3 release series. It is succeeded by 
GNOME 40.


Michael Catanzaro
