Hi all, GUADEC is now over, we had a great time in Gothenburg (special thanks to the local organizers!) and got home in time to polish patches and merge branches, to publish the first beta of this cycle, GNOME 3.17.90.
First beta means we have now entered The Freeze: - API/ABI Freeze (No API or ABI changes should be made in the platform libraries), - Feature Freeze (No new features can be added anymore, let's focus on stability and give the documentation team time to document the new things), - UI Freeze (same idea). We are also now in String Change Announcement Period, string changes can still be made (e.g. for typo fixes or translatability improvements) but all string changes must be announced to both gnome-i18n@ and gnome-doc-list@. Details are available on the wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning/Freezes#The_Freeze https://wiki.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning/RequestingFreezeBreaks To compile GNOME 3.17.90, you can use the jhbuild modulesets published by the release team (which use the exact tarball versions from the official release): https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/ http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/3.17.90/ The release notes that describe the changes between 3.17.4 and 3.17.90 are available.

WARNING! WARNING! -------------------------- This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is buildable and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and hacking purposes. GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development status.
