另一个值得关注与期待的软件是Pidgin，已于近日发布。有一个不太适应的界面变化（对方头像被放在聊天窗口的顶部右侧了，而不是通常聊天窗口下部的左侧或右侧），参见Pidgin Planet截图：

Release Name: 2.1.0

Notes:
       Sean: This release took a bit longer than 3 weeks, but boy is it
        worth it! We're beginning to experiment with new UI concepts and
        this release features a largely re-designed conversation window.
        We've closed 150 tickets for this release; much thanks go to all
        the developers, translators, and testers who made this possible.

        Ka-Hing: Sean said no one else NEWS'ed, so I figure I should.


Changes:
version 2.1.0 (07/28/2007):
        libpurple:
        * Core changes to allow UIs to use second-granularity for scheduling.
          Pidgin and Finch, which use the glib event loop, were changed to use
          g_timeout_add_seconds() on glib >= 2.14 when possible.  This allows
          glib to better group our longer timers to increase power efficiency.
          (Arjan van de Ven with Intel Corporation)
        * No longer linkifies screennames containing @ signs in join/part
          notifications in chats
        * With the HTML logger, images in conversations are now saved.
          NOTE: Saved images are not yet displayed when loading logs.
        * Added support for QIP logs to the Log Reader plugin (Michael Shkutkov)

        Pidgin:
        * Ensure only one copy of Pidgin is running with a given configuration
          directory.  The net effect of this is that trying to start Pidgin a
          second time will raise the buddy list.  (Gabriel Schulhof)
        * Undo capability in the conversation window
        * The formatting toolbar has been reorganized to be more concise.
        * A new status area has been added to the top of conversations to
          provide additional detail about the buddy, including buddy icon,
          protocol and status message.
        * Show idle times in the buddy list as days, hours, seconds

        Finch:
        * There's support for workspaces now (details in the manpage)
        * There's a new custom window manager, Irssi
        * Some improvements for tab-completion, tooltip and the password entries
        * Some bugs regarding search results fixed
        * A new DBus-script to create a docklet for finch
        * Support for showing empty groups in the buddy list (Eric Polino)

OpenOffice.org将在大约一个月后发布其年度重要版本2.3，此版本带来了众多实用功能，请参考OpenOffice.org Tools Page上的Newest 25 feature announcements

从OpenOffice.org Dashboard 0.9.1上看到中国没有进入到前十位，感觉国人对开源办公软件还不甚关注呀，期望大家能够多多支持呀

Gullfoss — Feature in OOo 2.3
OpenOffice.org 2.3中包含的新特性已经于July 5th, 2007(UI and Feature_freeze : July 5th, 2007)左右敲定，即OpenOffice.org 2.3新特性已经冻结，将不会再新增到将来的这一发布版本（按计划是September 4th, 2007发布）。这其中新增的最大亮点当然是重新实现的新图表模块及随之带来的图表模块的持续改进。在Gullfoss文章中列出了两个已经解决的非常老的软件缺陷，即字处理中在不同缩放比例时编辑区域的居中问题，还有演示文稿中按指定路径移动的自定义动画的实现（主要是对这一动画效果编辑的实现），在此给出StarOffice 7中的一个国际象棋示例演示文稿文档供大家体验：Chess.odp（系采用OOo-Dev 2.3 m221加以修改后的示例文档）

当然，OOo 2.3的新特性还有非常多，不能在此一一列出，大家如果实在想体验一下，可下载最新的开发版本来安装使用：OOo developer snapshots

办公软件标准之争UOF能否打破微软垄断，咱们自主制定的UOF办公软件标准在通过了国家863验收后，将于今年稍晚些时候正式实施。至于OOXML，据Gullfoss — Development at a Glance - Weekly Update CW29消息，OOXML Fails to Gain Approval in US（OOXML在美国未获通过）：

On Friday July 13th, INCITS V1 met via teleconference for 3 hours but failed to reach a 2/3 consensus necessary to recommend an "Approval, with comments" position on Microsoft "Office Open XML" (OOXML) document specification.

同时，在捷克的又一次关于OOXML的会议召开，参考Pavel Janik — Third meeting about OOXML proposal at ČNI，估计在捷克过关的前景不明，Pavel Janik并不看好这一标准，同时，又得到了一张OOXML的完整打印版靓照：


其他最近更新的开源软件：
GIMP 2.2.17 Released(2007-07-13)
July 13, 2007: Wine 0.9.41 Released，SLED 10版本可至此处下载。

Wine 0.9.41 was released today, with the following main changes:

    * A number of gdiplus functions.
    * More complete pdh.dll implementation.
    * Support for MSI remote calls.
    * Messaging support in crypt32.dll.
    * Lots of bug fixes.

Scott Morris : Jul 19, 15:55 : OpenSUSE 10.3 Alpha6 Released

* Linux 2.6.22
* libzypp 3.11.8
* gcc 4.2
* Continued splitting of packages to reduce size

* Introduction of x86_64 CDs for both KDE and GNOME

开源，世界明天更美好

快讯：据irc（irc://irc.freenode.net/dev.openoffice.org）可靠消息来源：OpenOffice.org项目Sun Microsystems成员Vladimir Glazounov先生已于北京时间今天下午抵达中国北京，自明日起访问Beijing Redflag CH2000。期待OpenOffice.org项目在中国发展得越来越好，早日建立简体中文主页，名称嘛，个人建议为：cn.openoffice.org（当然，个人建议，现在还不存在呢，呵呵）

Gullfoss — Improving Calc Usability: AutoSum

The Calc Ease of Use iTeam is currently attacking the most annoying usability issues in Calc. Our first issue was Calc's AutoSum feature.

AutoSum is used for summing up cell values automatically. If the user sets the cursor to the next empty cell of a row or column, which contains a series of values, and presses the Sum button in the formula bar, Calc automatically sums up the values and inserts the result as a sum formula at the cursor position.

A lot of users complained about Calc that it's not possible that the cells which should be summed up can be specified by the user, e.g. by marking the cell range with the mouse. This problem has been addressed in CWS calcautosum, which has been integrated into SRC680 m217 and will be available in OpenOffice.org 2.3. You can also download the recent developer snapshot build and give it a try.

For a first impression of this feature, please see the screenshot below.
More information can be found here.

这一实用功能的大致功能为，选中包含要求和数据单元格向右、向下各多一列与一行的所有单元格（如上图所示），然后按下求和按钮（就是上图中的那个符号了），就会将自动求和的结果放入相应列与行中。

最近还有很多激动人心的功能，如，在OpenOffice.org 1.1演示文稿模块中被良好支持的按预定路径移动的动画效果，在m220以后的版本（即未来的2.3版本）中会被重新得以完善支持（即能够编辑按预定路径移动的动画效果），特别需要说明的是，OpenOffice.org 2.x对相应的PPT动画效果是单向兼容的，即能够读取并正确进行放映，但不能进行编辑了，相应的CWS，如果大家感兴趣，可参考：
SRC680/pathfinder01
此功能的演示截图参考：


踊跃使用开源、共同支持开源，世界明天更美好

OpenOffice.org 2.3系列新功能不断，其中新图表模块也在不断改进过程中，简单三维图表抢先截图如下（OOo-Dev 2.3 SRC680_m219，为个人编译版本，官方开发版SRC680_m219尚未发布）：

与之相对应的MS Excel三维图表对比，已经相差无几了


Gullfoss — New: OOo-Dev 2.3 Developer Snapshot build SRC680_m218 available

OOo-Dev 2.3 Developer Snapshot (build SRC680_m218) has been uploaded to the mirror network.

If you find severe issues then please submit them to the bug tracking system IssueTracker. If you like to volunteer within the QA project then please notify the QA malinig list.

English binaries and source archives are available from here:

每周开发周报也是振奋人心，自动升级功能已经接近完成
Gullfoss — Development at a Glance - Weekly Update CW27

Finished:
    * UNO AWT Enhancements: Tree Control: Finish initial impementation, integration into OOo Dialog Editor
    * Online Update: Download & Install: Implementation

还有让MS Office读取与存储ODF的扩展已经正式发布，大家可以下载试用：

Sun ODF Plug in 1.0 for Microsoft Office Available Now as a Free Download

“ Microsoft Office users can now import and export to Open Document Format (ODF)

The Sun ODF Plug in for Microsoft Office gives users of Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint the ability to read, edit and save to the ISO-standard Open Document Format. The ODF Plug in is available as a free download from the Sun Download Center (SDLC). Download the ODF Plug in.

The Plug in is easy to setup and use, the conversion happens transparently and the additional memory footprint is minimal. Microsoft Office users now can have seamless two-way conversion of Microsoft Office documents to and from Open Document. The ODF Plug in runs on Microsoft Windows and is available in English. More language support will be available in later releases. ”

再有：
GPLv3协议终面世有重大改变
模拟器：Wine 0.9.40发布（SLED 10/sp1用户可至以下链接下载：Emulators:/Wine/SLE-10/i586）

Stellarium 0.9.0 released!

The Stellarium team is proud to announce the release version 0.9.0 of Stellarium, the open source planetarium for your computer. Stellarium shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like you would see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. Just set your coordinates and go.


New features for version 0.9.0:

* Larger star catalogue including stars from Hipparcos, Tycho2 and NOMAD (much of this available as a separate download)

* New sky cultures: Lakota, Navajo, Inuit, including Inuit constellation art by Johan Meuris

* New projections: Orthographic, Lamberts Equal Area, Cylinder

* Better accuracy of planetary positions

* New orbital calculation class making it possible to add comet objects (no special visualisation yet however)

* Window resizing. Full screen toggle should now work for Windows & OSX

* Fly to planets by pressing control-G when one is selected

* Landscape locations - can set the location according to the landscape

* Places of interest on Earth (city positions improved), the Moon (mission sites) and Mars (mission sites).

* New landscape: Garching, (near Munich, Germany)

* Data file layout change, which should make it easier to install extra landscapes, scripts and so on

* Some new nebula textures; more precise positioning of nebula textures

There have also been a lot of minor bug fixes, and significant changes to the code base, which make it possible for third parties to write their own modules for Stellarium, (although the API is not stable yet).


A huge thank you goes out to everyone who contributed to this release - bug reporters, bug fixers, translators and package preparers. See the wiki to find out how you can help make Stellarium even better. (1 comments)

这个看星星的软件也有openSuSE的rpm安装包了，可惜的是，好像只有openSuSE 10.2的包，参见：

历时三年多（planned 2004-02-11 10:09，integrated 2007-05-22 22:21），OpenOffice.org CWS chart2mst3于近日成功集成到SRC680m213中。这项对OpenOffice.org图表模块的全新实施包含了332个大小任务，更新源代码文件2003个。预计本周稍晚些时候将会正式发布相应的源代码与开发版的软件安装，按计划，原图表模块sch就此结束在源代码主干中的历史使命，也将在不久的将来结束在MWS中的存在。
在新图表模块的基础上，OpenOffice.org还将对图表功能进行持续改进，其中值得关注的就是对MS Excel三维图表的兼容性改进，现有的Issue 67754（right angle axes option for 3D charts）已经着手实施，其最终目标是要实现三维图表水平X轴与垂直Y轴，在显示平面上最终显示为呈直角的两个轴，提供这一可选项后， OpenOffice.org的三维图表将会更好地兼容MS Excel三维图表，又不失OpenOffice.org三维图表的原有特色，此任务将会在CWS chart06中实施。以下为OpenOffice.org三维图表与MS Excel三维图表的显示对比：

OpenOffice.org纯三维图表

开源改变世界

首届OpenOffice.org国际高峰论坛在京圆满闭幕

　　 2007年5月15日，“首届OpenOffice.org国际高峰论坛”在北京圆满闭幕。本次论坛是由中国开源软件（OSS）推进联盟主办、北京红旗中文贰仟软件技术有限公司承办的一次专业性、国际性的开源产业盛会。数百位行业专家齐聚一堂，对开源软件的推广、开源软件的创新、开源企业的商业模式以及相关标准等中外专家关注的前沿问题进行了多方位的探讨。

　　信息产业部产品司陈英副司长、中国开源软件（OSS）推进联盟主席陆首群、中国工程院院士倪光南、红旗中文2000公司总经理胡才勇、OpenOffice.org开源社区负责人Louis Suárez-Potts 先生、Sun公司OpenOffice.org项目负责人Michael Bemmer先生、Sun公司副总裁兼中国研究院院长王星耀在论坛分别作精彩演讲。

同时，在会上红旗中文2000公司与Sun公司OpenOffice.org项目负责人Michael Bemmer先生签署了全面合作协议，该协议的签署表明了红旗中文2000公司已经开始全面加入到OpenOffice.org社区当中，红旗中文2000公司将会在世界领先的免费办公套件开发中，对全球OpenOffice.org社区做出贡献。实际上，在这次协议签署之前，红旗中文2000公司就已经研发了著名的基于开源软件的RedOffice办公套件，而且红旗中文2000公司目前拥有一支超过50人的开源研发队伍，并从去年夏天就开始研发该项目。Sun公司OpenOffice.org项目负责人Michael Bemmer先生说“我们已经看到了与红旗中文2000公司合作的前景，而这次协议的签署也是一个好的开始。”

今天一到家，收了一下邮件，就发现了这个好消息。一个Mozilla发布的重大消息：
Release of Bugzilla 3.0!

In 1998, the first open-source version of Bugzilla, 2.0, was released to the world without much fanfare, just this little post  on the netscape.public.mozilla.announce newsgroup.

Nine years later, Bugzilla is used by thousands of companies around the world with millions of total users. It has become the de-facto standard in open-source bug tracking. Thousands of companies have moved away from their costly commercial bug-tracking systems to Bugzilla, usually finding Bugzilla more flexible and more full-featured than the system they'd been paying thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars for, and proving that open source software really can produce a competitive product.

Today, the Bugzilla Project is extremely proud to announce the release of Bugzilla 3.0, and just like Terry said in 1998, "We like the new version much better, and hope you will too."

Here's just a sampling of the major new features in version 3.0:

    * Custom Fields
    * mod_perl support for greatly-improved performance
    * Per-Product Permissions
    * XML-RPC Interface
    * Create and Modify Bugs by Email
    * and much, much more...

Bugzilla 3.0 also has a much-improved code base over previous versions of Bugzilla. Improvements are still happening, but long-time customizers and coders of Bugzilla will notice significant improvements. And if you haven't seen Bugzilla code since 2.16 or so, prepare to be (pleasantly) surprised!

As always, we welcome open source contributors to Bugzilla, which is made entirely by volunteers around the world. You too can be part of the team that makes a product used by thousands of people daily.

    * Download Bugzilla 3.0.
    * Read the Bugzilla 3.0 Release Notes (important for upgraders!).
    * See the list of new features in 3.0.
    * See our latest Status Update.
    * Try Out Bugzilla 3.0 on our demo site

呵呵，真的是划时代的一个版本了，九年升一个版本的产品肯定是让人佩服的。
