Subject: [ANN] Alexandria 0.3.0

Hi,

Alexandria 0.3.0 has just been released!

Alexandria is a GNOME application to help you manage your book
collection.

You can get more information (screenshots, features, download links,
packages...) on its web site:

  http://alexandria.rubyforge.org

This release considerably improves the dialog box to add books, ships a
new provider to the Proxis library (http://www.proxis.be) and features
more GNOME compatibility.

Details are following.  Enjoy!

New features:
 * the Add Book dialog allows searches by title, authors and keyword 
   as well as regular ISBNs ;
 * ISBNs are now validated before usage ;
 * the Add Book dialog will autofill the ISBN text entry using the 
   clipboard content if it contains a valid EAN/ISBN ;
 * the Add Book dialog will automatically convert EANs to ISBNs ;
 * a provider to the Proxis library (http://www.proxis.be) has been 
   added ;
 * HTTP connections to Amazon and Proxis are configured to pass via a 
   proxy  or not according to the GNOME preferences.

Bug fixed:
 * do not split title icons inside a multibyte character ;
 * fixed the Amazon provider to not set the manufacturer attribute to
   nil for some books that are not yet released ;
 * enforced the use of UTF-8 for gettext ;
 * some strings have been ngettexted ;
 * the data/locale directory is cleaned by install.rb ;
 * pre-setup.rb doesn't require Ruby-GetText anymore since all this does
   is run msgfmt.

Updated translations:
 * Dafydd Harries (cy) ;
 * Laurent Sansonetti (fr) ;
 * Masao Mutoh (ja).
