GNOME 3.8 Released ================== Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 3.8, the latest version of the popular free desktop, as well as the GNOME developer platform. GNOME 3.8 is the fourth major update of GNOME 3. It builds on the foundations that we have laid with the previous 3.x releases and offers a greatly enhanced experience. The exciting new features and improvements in this release include a integrated application search, privacy and sharing settings, notification filtering, a new classic mode, OwnCloud integration, previews of clocks, notes, photos and weather applications, and many more. For more information about the major changes in GNOME 3.8, please visit our release notes: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.8/ GNOME 3.8 will be available shortly in many distributions. Live images of GNOME 3.8 are currently being prepared and will appear soon at: http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ This six months effort wouldn't have been possible without the whole GNOME community, made of contributors and friends from all around the world: developers, designers, documentation writers, usability and accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, system administrators, companies, artists, testers and last, not least, users. GNOME would not exist without all those people. Thanks very much to every one of them! Our next release, GNOME 3.10, is planned for September 2013. Until then, enjoy GNOME 3.8 ! The GNOME Release Team
