GNOME: Tracker, GNOME OS, and GVfs for GNOME 46

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 22, 2024

Sam Thursfield: Status update, 20/03/2024 – TinySPARQL and Tracker Miners

GNOME 46 just released, and with it comes TinySPARQL 3.7 (aka Tracker SPARQL) and Tracker Miners 3.7. Here’s what I’ve been involved with this month in those projects.
Sam Thursfield: Status update, 19/03/2024 – GNOME OS and openQA

Looking back at this month its been very busy indeed. In fact, so busy that I’m going to split this status update into two parts.

Possibly this is the month where I worked the whole time yet did almost no actual software development. I guess it’s part of getting old that you spend more time organising people and sharing knowledge than actually making new things yourself. But I did still manage one hack I’m very proud of, which I go into below.
Ondřej Holý: What’s new in GVfs for GNOME 46?

It has been 3 years since my last post with release news for GVfs. This is mainly because previous releases were more or less just bug fixes. In contrast, GVfs 1.54 comes with two new backends.
