A new gnome-osd-client man page. rbosd.py has been renamed to gnome-osd-event-bridge. An autostart desktop file has been installed for gnome-osd-event-bridge (for GNOME 2.14).
In this version there is more flexibility with a new protocol, allowing multiple OSD instances, and override of properties for specific messages, there is a new 'center' vertical alignment option available in the protocol (but not in the preferences), hide_timeout is now also available in the protocol, and any kind of error encountered by the server (eg. message parsing) is now reported back to the client.
This release has a gosd module, a pango alignment option, a minor rendering fix, bugfixes, rbosd.py, and much better looking messages. The license has changed to the LGPL.
