GNOME 2.28.0 Release Candidate (2.27.92) ======================================== We're a few days before the hard code freeze for 2.28.0, and having tried 2.27.92, I think we have something good there. Actually, better than just good. But well, we still have a few days to fix this pet bug that annoys so many people -- I even heard that, in case you'd be a bit late, some release team people can give +1 to freeze break requests if you have the right arguments. And food is always a good argument. But I can't tell who those people are. Or maybe I can, if you have the right arguments... To compile GNOME 2.27.92, you can use the jhbuild [3] modulesets [4] (which use the exact tarball versions from the official release): [3] http://library.gnome.org/devel/jhbuild/ [4] http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.27.92/ The release notes that describe the changes between 2.27.91 and 2.27.92 are available.

TESTING! -------------------------- This release is a feature, user interface and string frozen snapshot primarily intended for wide public scrutiny before the final GNOME 2.28 release in September. GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development status.
