GNOME 3.22 is set to be released on September 21, 2016.

The date is listed in the draft release schedule for the next major version of the GNOME desktop.

Therefore the dates listed below are still subject to change — we’ll update this post with any adjustments if any emerge.

GNOME 3.22 will be the next major stable release and follows the release of GNOME 3.20 earlier this month, on March 23.

Among the changes currently pencilled in are improvements to Calendar (including week view, agenda view and support for calendar file types), and Web (including pop-up blocker, social media button blocking and support for user scripts).
