GNOME readies 2.18 with final bugfix snapshot
Quote:
The GNOME project released version 2.17.92 of its popular Linux desktop on Feb. 28. This is the last unstable bugfix release prior to the 2.18.0 release, set for March 14, a project spokesperson said.
"We've added important bug fixes, great translations, [and] shiny documentation during the past six months," the spokesperson said.
The "hard code freeze" of 2.18.0 is scheduled for March 5. The spokesperson pointed out that "it's not too late to fix this last bug you're ashamed of. And then, you'll be able to think about the future. What will make GNOME 2.20.0 rock? It's up to you to write this future!"
In order to try out the this bugfix version of GNOME, you need to compile it. To do that, according to the spokesperson, you can use GARNOME, "which supports users and has additional/different modules available), or the jhbuild modulesets (which use the exact tarball versions from the official release)."
