As promised multiple times on the forums, GNOME 3.2 was just released and we have it! Shinier and full of new features, noticeable are gdm's brand new look, gnome-online-accounts, gnome-contacts, gnome-documents, new user menu and better chat integration. Along with that, nautilus received a new file previewer named sushi.

Packaging changes:

gnome-power-manager moved to gnome-extra since most of its functionality moved to gnome-settings-daemon and the package basically only contains the statistics viewer

aisleriot, gnome-contacts, gnome-documents, gnome-disk-utility, tracker and sushi added to gnome-extra

gobject-introspection support was dropped from {python,python2}-gobject2 2.28 and moved to {python,python2}-gobject 3.0.1. Maintainers should change accordingly if their packages rely on gobject-introspection.

gnome-system-tools dropped since most functionality was moved into gnome-control-center

splitting libgdu out from gnome-disk-utility. gvfs based file managers should benefit from this split.

If you have problems login into the session, try resetting your settings by moving away ~/.config/dconf and ~/.gconf.

As always, packaging bugs should be reported on our bugtracker and anything else considered bugs should be report to the Gnome bugzilla.
