This has been a long time since the latest official releases. More than one year without real update, unfortunately. I have pretty much stepped back on the role of maintainer, linux isn't my main development environment anymore, and Guake is so linked with the GTK system I cannot debug or do anything without having to start a VM.

@Davidy22 and @mlouielu have started taking care of Guake and they are helping a lot on the boring duties of the package maintainance: ticket triage, bugfixes, preparing releases...

Discussion about this release has been opened here.

There have been lot of minor changes and bug fixes it is not easy to summaries in one sentence, but here is the automatically generated changelog.

Notes for Package Maintainers

  • Should resolve issues with the gschemas.compiled file. Make sure that the location
    org.guake.gschema.xml is being saved to is user executable if guake is installed in
    userspace so that guake can compile and create gschemas.compiled.

    If the destination for org.guake.gschema.xml cannot be user executable, make sure to
    include:

    glib-compile-schemas [schema directory]

    In the installation script, replacing [schema directory] with the place
    org.guake.gschema.xml is being saved.
