Hi all, GUADEC is over and we had to get home from Karlsruhe, this explains why this release got delayed a bit. But here it is, first beta of this cycle, GNOME 3.21.90. 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 3.21.90, 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/3.21.90/ The release notes that describe the changes between 3.21.4 and 3.21.90 are available.
