This release just about concludes user interface changes anticipated before GNOME 3.0. The only significant change we expect after this release is to add a native network indicator based on NetworkManager 0.9. About GNOME Shell ================= GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3 desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience. Tarball releases are provided largely for distributions to build packages. If you are interested in building GNOME Shell from source, we would recommend building from version control using the build script described at: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell Not only will that give you the very latest version of this rapidly changing project, it will be much easier than get GNOME Shell and its dependencies to build from tarballs. Changes since 2.91.6 ==================== * Workspace handling [Owen, Jakub] - Replace existing workspace controls in the overview with a vertical list of workspace thumbnails. - Change workspace orientationin the main view to vertical - Workspaces are automatically managed - empty workspaces are removed, other than the last workspace which is always empty - a new workspace is added when something is started on that workspace. - Add ability to change workspace by mousewheel scrolling over thumbnails [Sardem FF7] * Add a PolicyKit authentication agent; requests to the user for authentication from PolicyKit now show up as shell-themed dialogs.
