ROX-Lib 2.0.6 (contains shared code used by other ROX applications) has
been released.


To upgrade:

- Right click on an application that uses it and choose 'Versions...'
from the menu.
- Click on 'Refresh all now'.
- Ensure 'Help test new versions' is selected.

For more information, including package downloads, see:

  http://roscidus.com/desktop/ROX-Lib

Changes in 2.0.6:

New features:

- When parsing AppInfo files, get the menu icons too (Dennis Tomas).
  The new version of TaskTray needs this to show icons in menu entries
  for app options.

- Updated the code for loading MIME icons (and moved it into mime.py from
  saving.py) (Stephen Watson).

- Added interface for gtk.StatusIcon (Stephen Watson). Wrap the
  StatusIcon class with toplevel_ref/toplevel_unref calls and default to
  using the scaled .DirIcon

- Added module to aid in writing single instance applications (Stephen
  Watson).

Bug fixes:

- Fixed deprecation warning with Python 2.6.

- Fix problem installing handlers which are zero-install aware (Stephen
  Watson) (reported by Mark Williams).

- Handle thumbnail creation failure according to the standard (Stephen
  Watson).

- Fix hang in exception reporting dialog (Tony Houghton). ROX-Lib's
  exception dialog often fails to work correctly. It appears, but
  doesn't respond to any events, and neither does the rest of the
  application. I don't think it always happens, but I haven't figured
  out the circumstances of when it works and when it doesn't. Note that
  this reverses a previous change (8c8822a3), so presumably the code was
  like this for a reason. However, the reason wasn't documented so let's
  just try it and see...

- Fixed some icon-loading bugs (Lennon Cook).

- Ensure version is updated when making releases. Added
  <release-management> section in local feed. Reported by Lucas Hazel.

- Correctly call mime.image_for_type now (Stephen Watson).
