Ejecter 0.1.91 released, please test!

Written for Ejecter by Federico Pelloni on 2009-01-01

Ejecter 0.1.91 has just been released, following the path leading to 0.2. This is a release mainly made for testing purposes, expecially oriented to fixing issues that affected 0.1.90. It needs Gtk 2.12 or higher to build (but some nicer minor features are provided if you have Gtk 2.14).

Download it from here: http://launchpad.net/ejecter/1.0/0.1.91

Ejecter is a simple menu that sits in the system notification area, providing you a quick way to unmount external peripherals such as usb pendrives, cd/dvd, external hard disks and so.
It needs Gtk, Vala and Python.
Install it with
  ./waf configure --prefix=/usr
  ./waf
  sudo ./waf install

Run it from the command-line with "ejecter" or add it to startup applications:
it will sleep behind the scenes and show an icon in the system tray when one or more devices are connected to your computer.

Ejecter 0.1.90 has just been released, following the path leading to 0.2. This is a release mainly made for testing purposes, expecially oriented to fixing issues born with Ubuntu 8.10/Gtk 2.14. It needs Gtk 2.14 to build (and I hope 0.2 will not, maybe lacking some minor things if an older version of Gtk is present).
