More work than it's worth. The control-center/cheese bug is the same one, Empathy is going to get done, and brasero should be fairly straight forward. A backend change can hardly be considered a feature when it has no user visible changes (apart from working better ;). ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

I don't understand why gnome-contacts can't just use libcheese-gtk optionally, gnome-control-center is already doing it, and it would be better than the custom and incomplete code that was written. === GNOME-CONTROL-CENTER === NEEDINFO: Power panel doesn't slide in fully with some locales https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677808 Might need better steps to reproduce. Obsolete bug.

It would certainly be helpful if the GStreamer team could communicate which issues still need to be sorted out before releasing 1.0 (e.g. via blockers/target milestones in Bugzilla, or whatever suits them best). andre -- mailto:ak...@gmx.net | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

AFAICS, affected modules have been identified and notified. Ideally porting to 0.11/1.0 begins before 1.0 so both parties receive testing and feedback. A bunch of applications have been ported already and can get testing. and it still looks like it will be hard to get a fully ported install of distribution one gstreamer1.0 (or you consider likely that e.g rhythmbox and shotwell will be ported as well) I wouldn't block the transition in GNOME core until most applications out there have been ported. To pick up your examples, Shotwell developers seem to target Shotwell 0.14 for it, and Rhythmbox has a branch (work in progress). It's up to maintainers, and I guess that contributions and help are welcome if porting certain applications has a higher priority for you. andre -- mailto:ak...@gmx.net | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

Hi everybody, we need YOUR help! It's time to start preparing the 3.6 release notes to tell our users, developers and press what's and new in the next GNOME release! What new features does your application have? What important bug fixes? What accessibility improvements do we have? Which modules have better documentation? What are the new things developers need to know about GNOME's development platform? What hasn't been done for 3.6 but is on your list for 3.8? (section Plans for the next release) Please take two minutes and add your news to https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointFive/ReleaseNotes so we can tell the world!

I'd also like to point out that we have had BoF sessions / design reviews on some of our new features at GUADEC, and have identified issues that will need to be addressed for 3.6 to make the best impression.
