GNOME Builder Gets Ready for GNOME 3.18 with New Plugin Engine, Printer Support
GNOME 3.18 with New Plugin Engine, Printer Support
GNOME Builder 3.18 Release Candidate was announced just a few minutes ago, September 17, 2015, and introduces a great number of new features and under-the-hood improvements, but also fixes last-minutes bugs, especially those reported by users since the previous release of the software.
According to the attached release notes, GNOME Builder 3.18 RC adds support for VTE-based Terminals, introduces support for implementing the build systems as plugins, comes with read-only plugin and snippets viewers in Preferences, and brings a new shortcuts dialog that helps users discover features.
Furthermore, there are improvements to CPU graphs and device manager, as well as on the UI designs implementation, previous buffers will now load a lot faster, the smart backspace and editor overview map functions were moved to GtkSourceView, and a new workspace layout with panels was also provided.
Among other interesting features, we can mention a new plugin engine powered by Libpeas, printer support, the ability to display the symbol tree in a panel for reduced widget overhead, and support for GObject Introspection for Python 3 via Jedi in the Completion functionality.
"This release is a snapshot before the final 3.18 release expected next week. This gives packages a chance to ensure that everything is in working order for the 3.18 release. We'd like to remember everything that Builder is still a beta product and we are working hard towards implementing all the requested features," says Christian Hergert.
GNOME Builder 3.18 coming next week as part of GNOME 3.18
As one might have expected, the final release of the GNOME Builder 3.18 IDE (Integrated Development Environment) software will see the light of day next week, distributed as part of the anticipated GNOME 3.18 desktop environment, due for release on September 23, 2015.
Those of you wishing to take this last development build of GNOME Builder 3.18 for a test drive can download the GNOME Builder 3.18 RC sources right now from Softpedia. As usual, we remind you that this is a pre-release version, which means that it contains unresolved issues, so it's not ready for production use.

Global Printer Market 2014-2018
About Printer
There are two main types of printers: Impact printers and non-impact printers. Impact printers produce text and images on paper when the print head of the printer strikes the paper physically. Non-impact printers like inkjet and laser printers do the same without actually striking the paper. While inkjet printers spray tiny drops of ink onto a paper, laser printers use cylindrical drums that roll electrically charged ink onto the paper. Printers can also be classified on the basis of the print technology they use the most popular ones include inkjet printers, laser printers, dot-matrix printers, and thermal printers.

What is an EMV Chip Card and Why Do I Care ?
Card Reader New Chip Technology-EMV The instatement of
EMV cards is imminent in the US. Suddenly all of those sales pitches from
agents over the past few years
About EMV
EMV®1is a trademark dating back to 1999, after Europay, MasterCard,
and Visa founded EMVCo with the purpose of developing
specifications for secure payment transactions. The original EMV Specification (for chip-based payment
instruments) is now in v4.3, with backwards-compatible EMV Next Generation
Specifications in development.
Over
the years, EMV has evolved from a single, chip-based contact specification to
include EMV Contactless, EMV Common Payment Application (CPA), EMV Card
Personalisation, and EMV Tokenisation.
There are also EMV documents and materials regarding mobile payments. The common thread throughout “EMV” is a commitment to worldwide
interoperability and acceptance of secure payment transactions.
EMV Specifications and EMVCo
The
EMV Specifications and related testing processes aim to facilitate worldwide
interoperability and acceptance of secure payment transactions. The following EMV Specifications are currently managed by EMVCo:
·
EMV
Contact – Currently in v4.3,
this specification is for chip-based contact payment cards and terminals.
·
EMV
Contactless – Currently in v2.3,
this specification is for chip-based contactless payment cards and terminals.
·
EMV
Next Generation – Currently in
development with the consultation of stakeholders worldwide, this specification
will be backwards-compatible with EMV Contact and EMV Contactless
Specifications. A draft specification is expected in
2014, with a final specification the following year.
·
EMV
Common Payment Application (CPA) – v1.0 of this specification is a Common Core Definitions
(CCD)-compliant application.
·
EMV
Card Personalisation Specification (CPS) – v1.1 of this specification standardises EMV card personalisation.
·
EMV
Tokenisation Specification –
Currently in development with the consultation of stakeholders worldwide, this
specification addresses the process of replacing a traditional card account
number with a unique payment token. A draft specification is expected in 2014.
“EMV” as Frequently Used in the Payments
Industry
Within
the payments industry, “EMV” has often been used to refer to the original EMV Contact & EMV
Contactless Specifications.
When used in this manner EMV refers to payment chip cards that contain an embedded
microprocessor, a type of small computer that provides strong security features
and other capabilities not possible with traditional magnetic stripe cards.
The metallic square on the front of an EMV contact card is
known as the card’s contact plate. A
microprocessor chip is embedded in a small cavity directly behind the contact
plate, protected by a thin resin capsule. When inserted into a card acceptance
device, such as a terminal, the contact plate allows the chip to connect to a
reader. This connection enables the chip to get power from and exchange data
with the terminal.
Contactless
EMV works by holding a contactless chip-enabled payment device (typically a
card or smartphone) within proximity of a contactless-capable reader. The
reader energises the chip embedded in the card and allows exchange of data via
radio frequency without the payment device ever leaving the customer’s possession. Research has shown that a
contactless transaction can be approximately 53 percent faster than a
traditional magnetic stripe credit card transaction and 63 percent faster than
using cash.
Advantages of EMV Contact and EMV Contactless Payment
Product
·
Through
the use of features including data authentication, PIN entry, and cryptographic
technology, it provides added security against certain types of fraud (e.g.
counterfeit and lost/stolen)
·
A
transaction-unique digital seal or signature in the chip proves its
authenticity in an offline environment and prevents criminals from using
fraudulent payment cards
·
Can be
used to secure online payment transactions and protect cardholders, merchants
and issuers against fraud through a transaction-unique online cryptogram
·
Supports
enhanced cardholder verification methods
·
Stores
considerably more information than magnetic stripe cards
The Approach to EMV Specifications
EMV
encompasses specifications, test procedures, and compliance processes managed
by EMVCo, LLC, an organisation jointly owned and operated by American Express,
Discover, JCB, MasterCard, UnionPay and Visa.
The
EMV Specifications are based on various standards (such as ISO 7816, ISO 14443,
and ISO 8583) and define the physical, electrical, data and application levels
for financial payment transactions. Through payment systems representatives,
EMVCo promotes and complements the ongoing standardisation efforts by
vigorously contributing to the ISO standards drafting process in order to
ensure continued compatibility between the ISO standards and the EMV
Specifications.
On
this website, EMVCo makes available to the public many online resources such as
final and published versions of EMV Specifications, bulletins and application
notes, type approval-process documents, and approval lists.
History and Today
The
EMV name comes from Europay, MasterCard and Visa, the companies that in 1994
initiated development of the EMV Specifications. Europay International SA
became part of MasterCard in 2002. JCB joined EMVCo in 2004, American Express
in 2009 and, most recently, Discover and UnionPay in 2013.
At
the time, many banks recognised the benefits of chip-based payment but also
realised that international standards for such payments were needed to help
foster global interoperability. The original EMV Specifications were created to
fill that void.
The first version of the EMV Contact Specifications was published in 1996, as version 3.1.1. The most recent version, EMV 4.3, was published in November 2011.
The first version of the EMV Contact Specifications was published in 1996, as version 3.1.1. The most recent version, EMV 4.3, was published in November 2011.
As
the industry has evolved, additional EMV Specifications have been written to
advance new payments initiatives.

U.S. and other countries, and is an unregistered trademark in other countries,
owned by EMVCo.
