Glade is a UI designer application for GTK projects, that allows you to create, modify, and preview UI files before writing code. In that sense, Glade is a very useful tool for GTK apps. With that said, I must implore that you do not use Glade. Why? Glade was built for it?s own format, before the advent of GtkBuilder. It does not know certain properties, does not know of certain features, and does not know modern GTK practices. Ventoy 1.0.29 - Neowin [3] Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With Ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can copy many files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them. Both Legacy BIOS and UEFI are supported in the same way. Most type of OS supported (Windows/WinPE/Linux/Unix/Vmware/Xen...) Istio 1.8 focuses on usability and upgrades [4] On May 24, 2017, IBM and Google announced the launch of Istio, an open technology that enables developers to seamlessly connect, manage, and secure, and control networks of different microservices ? regardless of platform, source, or vendor. The Istio 1.8 release adds new features that make Istio easier to upgrade, clearer information about maturity of each feature, better documentation, and tons of exciting experimental features. Announcing Istio 1.7.5 [5] This release contains bug fixes to improve robustness. This release note describes what?s different between Istio 1.7.4 and Istio 1.7.5 Announcing Istio 1.6.13 [6] This release contains bug fixes to improve robustness. This release note describes what?s different between Istio 1.6.12 and Istio 1.6.13 Chat On Telegram From libpurple-Based IM Programs (Pidgin, Etc.) Using The New tdlib-purple[7] tdlib-purple is a new libpurple plugin for Telegram, considered the successor of telegram- purple. With this you can chat on Telegram from chat clients that support libpurple, like Pidgin, Finch, Bitlbee, etc. There are binaries for Linux and Microsoft Windows. This libpurple plugin supports most Telegram features, from basic things like sending and receiving images and documents, and receiving stickers, to 2FA login, kick users, secret chats (support for this was added recently), and more. As for things that are missing, tdlib-purple doesn't support video calls, renaming groups / channels, self-destruct timers, you can't delete messages, send or receive polls, you can't send stickers, and you can't interact with bots beyond plain text messages. The application also opens muted chats and doesn't allow muting chats from the interface.
