GNOME 2.31.5 Development Release ================================ GUADEC is in ten days, and if there is a team you will want to chase down it's obviously the release team; we have been pushing all of you hard to get modules ported to GTK+ 3, GSettings, GApplication... but it's worth it, and you did a fantastic job!
2.31.5 is out and features a lot of modules ported to GTK+ 3; oh sure there are bugs, and disabled features, but 1) this is temporary, and 2) this should be seen as an opportunity for sleepless nights in The Hague. Isn't it a wonderful world? But there is no reason to wait for the Netherlands, so go download it, go compile it, go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it. Do note that starting with this release, some freezes are in action: * String Change Announcement Period: string changes must be announced to gnome-doc-list and gnome-i18n. * UI Change Announcement Period: UI changes must be announced to gnome-doc-list. To compile GNOME 2.31.5, you can the jhbuild [1] modulesets [2] (which use the exact tarball versions from the official release): [1] http://library.gnome.org/devel/jhbuild/ [2] http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.31.5/ The release notes that describe the changes between 2.31.4 and 2.31.5 are available.
