I'm delighted to announce version 2.8 of GNU hello. This release is my first as maintainer; thanks to Karl Berry for inviting me to take over from him, and then providing much useful guidance.
This release contains no significant code changes; rather, the version increment is justified an overhaul of the build system to bring it more in line with modern mainstream GNU practice, and in particular, to make maximum use of the excellent gnulib. In the process I've found and fixed many nits. The VCS has also been updated, from CVS to git. Finally, this release includes several new and updated translations from the Translation Project. A big thank-you to all the translators! Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/hello/hello-2.8.tar.gz http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/hello/hello-2.8.tar.gz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify hello-2.8.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 68089F7380EE4A00 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.68 Automake 1.11.3 Gnulib v0.0-7332-g40be4b8 NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 2.8 (2012-04-19) [stable] The build system has been overhauled to be more in line with mainstream modern GNU practice, and various translations have been updated (thanks to the Translation Project!). _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
