Update on what happened across the GNOME project in the week from October 06 to October 13.
|
||
|
||
## GNOME Core Apps and Libraries
|
||
|
||
### Software [](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/)
|
||
|
||
Lets you install and update applications and system extensions.
|
||
|
||
[Philip Withnall](https://matrix.to/#/@pwithnall:matrix.org) reports
|
||
|
||
> gnome-software has branched for 46, and Milan Crha has started landing various nice UI fixes which had been queued up after 45
|
||
|
||
## GNOME Circle Apps and Libraries
|
||
|
||
### Video Trimmer [](https://gitlab.gnome.org/YaLTeR/video-trimmer)
|
||
|
||
Trim videos quickly.
|
||
|
||
[Ivan Molodetskikh](https://matrix.to/#/@yalter:gnome.org) says
|
||
|
||
> I have released Video Trimmer 0.8.2, a minor update to refresh the visuals for GNOME 45.
|
||
|
||
### Cartridges [](https://github.com/kra-mo/cartridges)
|
||
|
||
Launch all your games
|
||
|
||
[kramo](https://matrix.to/#/@kramo:matrix.org) announces
|
||
|
||
> I released Cartridges 2.6 with a much requested new feature:
|
||
>
|
||
> You can now search your game library from your desktop!
|
||
>
|
||
> To enable the feature, toggle “Cartridges” on from the Search page in the Settings app.
|
||
>
|
||
> You can get the app from [Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/hu.kramo.Cartridges).
|
||
>
|
||
> PS: If you want to support my work, I now accept donations through [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/kra-mo)! 💜

||
## Third Party Projects
|
||
|
||
[Philipp](https://matrix.to/#/@philippun:matrix.org) says
|
||
|
||
> Migrating Meld
|
||
>
|
||
> This is a little status update on my current progress of the [meld migration to Gtk4 / libadwaita](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/merge%5Frequests/105):
|
||
>
|
||
> * MainWindow uses Adw.ApplicationWindow
|
||
> * NewDiff page and both the FileDiff and DirDiff page are also migrated (mostly)
|
||
> * The Preferences dialog uses Adw.PreferencesDialog
|
||
> * Most of the signals have been migrated to event controllers
|
||
> * Most methods have been migrated to new signature (i.e. do\_snapshot, do\_size\_allocate, etc.)
|
||
>
|
||
> There are also things that are a bit more difficult, which I might not be able to solve alone:
|
||
>
|
||
> * Dialog execution is now async (save file, etc.) and has to be rewritten
|
||
> * Gdk.WindowAttr is gone (is it even needed anymore?)
|
||
> * Gtk.RecentChooser is gone, is there a replacement?
|
||
> * MeldSourceMap do\_snapshot\_layer not being called, although the new syntax is being used
|
||
> * DiffGrid do\_size\_allocate not being called, although the new syntax is being used (which currently prevents the colored overlay being drawn in HandleWindow)
|
||
>
|
||
> Help is welcome!

A new version has also been published, ingesting backend changes from upstream (Weather O’Clock extension) and refactoring code to work with Gnome Shell 45\. For the next release, an options backend is in the works to allow changing the weather indicator placement on the panel.
