Agnostep Desktop News

Hello,

I am proud and happy to anounce Agnostep 2.0.0 BETA availability.

What is new? This Beta release contains many changes and improvments.
Morevover, as issues were fixed with a better stability in mind, new 
native GNUstep applications have been also created in purpose to 
improve User Experience in a more consistent way:

     Meteo.app: a weather appicon also displaying the current date. 
Based on wttr.in API.
     UpMem.app: displaying uptime and memory usage.
     Updater.app: a badged appIcon to notify available upgradable 
debian packages, wich permits to perform then the upgrade from the 
displayed list.
     Birthday.app: a badged appicon to notify family events: a must 
have for a grand-father like me. ;-)
     OpenDisk.app: opens the media folder where removable disks are 
mounted: a companion to wmudmount and udisks2, without the need to 
display the background of GWorkspace.
     Launcher.app: a quick way to open the Applications folder in a new 
window.
     ScreenLock.app: a simple screen locker based on xtrlock.
     Pass.app: a GNUstep interface to the Unix Password Manager which 
look at the local Password Store.
     Mixer.app: a simplified compatible ALSA Mixer forked from 
VolumeControl.
     AgnostepManager.app: a wizard to install more applications from 
sources.
     Dico.app: a French lookup Dictionary and service based on the DVLF 
by the University of Chicago.
     SaveLink.app: an Internet Shortcuts Manager. See the Favorites 
folder.

Since this release, the help bundles will be provided within the 
relevant apps, thanks to HelpViewer enhancements.

The theme as been simplified with a single flavour: we chose namely 
the NeXT menu style, the Clip and the Dock of Window Maker. See new 
screenshot below. Also, with a third collection of Wallpapers 
(MALLORCA) the wprotate tool will use the background of the window 
manager instead of the GWorkspace one.
