Re: [Trisquel-users] GNOME Shell in Trisquel 7

[onpon4]

The report about Trisquel using GNOME 3.12 is inaccurate. The Ubuntu 14.04,  
and consequently Trisquel 7, GNOME packages are a mixture of mostly GNOME  
3.10 and GNOME 3.8 packages. This is the usual case for Ubuntu: some GNOME  
packages get held back for reasons that have to do with compatibility or  
something.

Trisquel releases come approximately every two years, but it's not on a  
schedule the way Ubuntu releases are. The work is based on Ubuntu LTS, and  
they're released on a "when it's done" basis. Trisquel 6 was released about a  
year after Ubuntu 12.04, and Trisquel 7 was released about half a year after  
Ubuntu 14.04.
