libggigcp users must apply the hotfix #1, who have experienced an compiling/linking issue.
NetBSD users must apply the hotfix #0 to be able to open/load ggi targets and gii input drivers.
The GGI project is pleased to announce that new versions of LibGGI and LibGII have been released. More and more...
To avoid naming conflicts with other projects and to keep our namespace clean, we flagged all GGI modules with an additional ggi prefix in CVS. So all upcoming modules must be linked against -lggi<modulename>
As an example of libgcp: Link against -lggigcp instead of -lgcp.
Currently, only libwmh and libgcp are affected by this, unless the CVS version of the modules are used.
A new version of LibGGIMisc (2.0.2) has reached the light of the world. Check out the Modules site for other treasures, too.
Two new versions of extensions finally archieved the light of the world: libwmh and libgcp. Check out our module cave for more information.

Not much announcements recently, I confess, and this may have led people to think that GGI is dead. But even if it doesn't show, GGI is still alive and good work is going on. As an illustration, here is a digest of recent changes:
We're planning a new release soon. New developers and users are always welcome, and they can reach us via the mailing list or on our rather active IRC channel.
The site has been internally rewritten (once again). Not much changes on the user side, except the look is more consistent with the documentation.
More snapshots are also available. Note that the diffs might be a bit broken at first.
Christoph released an alpha version of LibGPF.
Significant changes were made to the documentation. There is still a lot to do, but LibGGI and LibGII references are fairly complete. Yes, prebuilt tarballs are finally available!
Brian wrote an article which will be published in the third issue of Free Software Magazine. The online version is already available.
After a long period of fears and doubts, GGI finally left its coma. The website and ftp server are now accessible. Here is a brief summary of what happened, for those who missed the previous episode.
Once again the domain registration expired, and Emmanuel resigned after 4 years. He also couldn't provide DNS hosting anymore. And of course, as Murphy taught us, everything happened together during holidays. Seeing that everything was down, the guys at ibiblio stopped the GGI virtual host.
Now the control has passed to me. We have a new registrar, new nameservers hosted at Public DNS and everything is functionnal. We might even have a mirror and a dedicated mail server. But that is for the next episode.
For those who wonder, GGI is still alive. And exciting things are coming for this year. Developers are always welcomed. Don't forget to visit #ggi and #kgi channels on irc.openprojects.net.
I know it's a bit late, but nevermind.
Things are getting better for GGI. The domain problems are solved (or about to be solved) and most importantly, Brian has left his torpor, which will hopefully give Christoph a bit of hope on the coding front.
More news to come, stay tuned...
The attentive reader knows already that Linux Mandrake 8.1 has been released, but did he notice that the latest GGI release is found in contrib? Indeed, a decisive reason to give your system a new breath, for those still hesitating.
Now, the next step is to have GGI included in the base install.
Thanks to Tobias Hunger, from the Berlin Project, GGI has an iPaq target and touchscreen input. It's in cvs right now. The skeptics might want to see the picture.
The GGI team strikes back! Once again, powerful and astonishing secrets are revealed to the world.
The three new summonings are LibGII 0.8.1, LibGGI 2.0.1, and LibGGIMisc 2.0.1. Please consult our download oracle for more information.
A mighty fellow contributed RPMS for Linux Mandrake. So, you have no excuse now!
The GGI fellowship has been delayed after encountering Holliday, one of the Dark Lord lieutnant. But the danger has been set afar for a while, and it's now time to celebrate LibGGI - 2.0, a great achievement for our heroes. They won't rest for long however, for the journey shall go on.
Here we are, another beta release: libgii-0.8 and libggi-2beta4. Go to the download page to grab the sources and binary packages.
This is the last beta release before 2.0 stable, which is expected in two weeks now. Get your bug report forms ready!
Steffen Seeger released a new KGI snapshot. His annoucement:
20010703: - PhoeniX server enhancements: - merged XAA core from XFree86-4.0.0 - merged SGIs OpenGL sample implementation - merged SGIs GLX protocol implementation - KGI environment improvements: - per-image resources introduced - native drivers almost work as boot driver substitutes - Permedia and VGA-text drivers improved - text16 operations - hardware cursor support - color and texture lookup table control Well, basically this means I had a pretty nice text-mode multihead system running :-)) (with hardware pointers, fonts, all the neat stuff). Have fun with it.

Although it has been rather silent here these days, hard work is continuing. A pre-release is in the air... Stay home for summer vacation, otherwise you might miss it!
LibGAlloc 5th alpha is here. The online documentation is available at no extra cost!
The CVS repository has been enriched by the addition of LibGGIMisc.
The nightly CVS snapshots are working again. Tarballs and diffs are now created only if necessary, allowing non-CVS users to easily stay up-to-date with the latest source tree. See you in the download section.
After a long and difficult struggle against adversity, bravely carried out by the GGI team, the project made a drastic move.
However, the hazardous journey is not over yet. A lot is still to be accomplished, and the next step shall be the release of libggi-2.0 stable, A.K.A. 'The Long Expected'.
An IRC meeting about the future of GGI was held tonight. You can read the log or the summary at our IRC page.
XGGI 1.6.2 has been released. Summary of changes:
Obviously the statement below about the next beta release being released around June/July was not fulfilled. We're very sorry about that, but the GGI developers have simply been very busy with other work. :-(
We're still aiming for a stable release this year though.
Jon M. Taylor has further improved LibXMI, which can now be found in our CVS repository and our daily snapshots. Read his announcement to see what's new.
While things have been very silent on these pages lately things have been going on as usual on the ggi-develop mailing list. Here's a current status update:
