14 DAY TRIAL // The GNOME development team has announced the first point update for the GNOME 3.16.x branch, which comes with a fair number of changes and various improvements.
The GNOME 3.16 branch has been received very well by the Linux community, and there are already a number of distributions that have implemented it or at least have announced that they are going to adopt it. The GNOME devs are not standing still and they have announced the first point update for this latest stable branch.
"Here comes our first update to GNOME 3.16, it has many fixes, various improvements, documentation and translation updates, we hope you'll enjoy it. We will soon publish the schedule for our next releases, and a first development release, 3.17.1, should soon hit the streets," notes Frederic Peters in the official announcement.
Please keep in mind that it will be a while until all of these packages hit the official repositories, so make sure that you check them if you have a Linux distro powered by GNOME.
We detailed the GNOME 3.16.x release when it was made available, and you can find more details in the original report. You can download the GNOME 3.16.1 stack from Softpedia, but keep in mind that these are the source packages. If you want an easy upgrade or install, be sure to check the repositories.
