GTK+ 3.8.0 released 25 Mar 2013

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-lis ... 00019.html
http://worldofgnome.org/what-gtk-3-8-wi ... evelopers/

It will be in next alphaos version 3.0!

wow, I truly appreciate your time and effort!

I noticed one point issue.
Build option without --enable-broadway-backend seem to be broadwayd not created.
So new feature is not available

# broadawayd
Listing on /root/.cache/broadway1.socket

and then type in new tab
# GDK_BACKEND=broadway sakura
go address in browser!
http://localhost:8080

sakura is compatible with gtk3
so It's works in firefox!

I wanted to test broadway backend and terminal in browser seems like interesting idea but it didn't work

[root@alphaos ~]# GDK_BACKEND=broadway sakura
Unable to init server
Segmentation fault
[root@alphaos ~]#

And that broadawayd command is missing, although gtk3 is compiled with --enable-broadway-backend.

hi. I remember that certainly broadwayd is created in gtk+-3.8.0/gdk/broadway directory.
and then make install into /usr/bin.

Maybe def script strip bin command in package function?
However I try to test, I think that it is currently in early stage..

funny mistake - I wanted to remove gtk-update-icon-cache in package function because it is already provided by gtk2, but removed everything in /usr/bin. So gtk3 is compiling again, will add screenshot later if brodway works.

Edit: Now it's working.. bellow are screenshots of sakura terminal and lxtask running inside firefox.

After version 3.8 gnome-games package was split into separate modules.

I've compiled gnome-tetravex, that was part of gnome-games but now is separate package with
just 45 KB and no dependencies outside main iso.

This game will be in repository after releasing version 3.0.

alphaOS version 3.0 with gtk 3.8 and glib 2.36 is probably going to be most up-to-date linux distribution in the world, matching arch testing repository for example. After releasing this new iso, versions of those and others main system libraries will be locked, you can think of it as long term support. So later In version 4 I will update programs like evince, deadbeef or firefox, but gtk, glibc, libpng and other libraries version will not change. Off course idea is to not break compatibility with packages from the repository after every system update.

How to make file name can display in Chinese and Japanese?

I'm sorry for my English.

Hello,
very very interesting !
works well on my asus eeepc 1000H
curiously Firefox don't want to bookmark but opera yes !

It will be possible to get a international part on the alpha forum ? (for French, Deustch, Hispana and so on) ?

Thanks for your job, I LIKE Archlinux AND Puppy, great meeting !

This works for me.

1. View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar

2. Right-click on the bookmarks toolbar and add a folder.

3. When you save a bookmark, make sure that you select your folder.

You need to enable locale in /etc/locale.gen and in /etc/rc.conf, open terminal and type locale-gen. And off course find Chinese and Japanese fonts

This is just my assumption;
Un comment
zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen, add LOCALE="zh_CN" in /etc/rc.conf, type
locale-gen and logout, it should work if you have correct fonts installed

There are unicode fonts in pet format here: http://akita.scottjarvis.com/ (just search for 'font' to find them)

Hello !

certainly a stupid question, but can I have alpha0s in French ?

I did the locale-gen like discribe on the system configuration (help), now I got the french keyboard, it's great but perhaps french language is possible ?

thanks !

@rcrsn51 : bookmarks works now in firefox, I don't know why ! (certainly a bug on my brain !)

Hi, In version 3.0 all locales will be included, so every program will have support for every language.

but how can I got an Alpha OS in French

rameshiyer,

Files are on sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alphaos/files

Arefacti,

in /etc/locale.gen un-comment this line
#fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8

in /etc/rc.conf change
LOCALE="C"
to LOCALE="fr_FR.UTF-8"

open terminal and type: locale-gen

Log out, and enjoy Maybe add screenshot

I am amazed that you have got so much right just out of the gate. Smooth function and minimalist design with speedy delivery!

EDIT: My comments are of course based on the real knockout first impression, understanding, as you said, that you were doing it for yourself, and it is incomplete. More average users will want a less arcane way of setting the clock . . .
