Ubuntu Tweak reached 0.4.2 on November 14 and showcases a new Source Editor for the Applications section of this powerful little app. Shown in more detail at its website, the Source Editor allows one to not only make manual changes to the sources.list file but to also submit those sources for others to share. I like the fact that it’s color-coded making it easier to see and edit the file’s structure.

Ubuntu Tweak 0.4.2 showing OO.o 3.0.0 source listingAnd while looking at the current list of available software listed under Third-Party Sources, I noticed a listing for OpenOffice.org 3.0. The downside is that it’s only available for Intrepid Ibex users, but it offers a much easier way of installing OO.o 3.0.0 onto Ubuntu 8.10 desktops without having to hack it on.

Other new sources include Ubuntu Chinese, Amarok, and Banshee.

UPDATE: A bugfix was released only two days later bringing Ubuntu Tweak to 0.4.3. It addressed using Ubuntu Tweak without having compiz installed. It also provided additional translations for Bulgarian, Czech, Faroese, French, German, Italian, and Polish languages.
