GNOME 3.0.0 packages are now available in the [testing] repository. These bring with it an update to gtk2, as well as the new gtk3.

This is a major update and you should take note of a couple of things:

GNOME3 will replace GNOME2 once it gets moved to [extra].

GNOME3 has two modes, "standard" mode (gnome-shell) and "fallback" mode (gnome-panel + metacity).

Panel applets using Bonobo aren't supported anymore and packages depending on it will be dropped.

pulseaudio is now required to run the GNOME desktop.

Some packages exist in separate versions for gtk2 and gtk3. These typically have a name like "packagename3". Examples are vte3, libwebkit3, gtkhtml4.

pygobject is now available for Python 3 in the package "py3gobject".

Have fun testing these packages!
