March 13th, 2011· One more important step towards the great GNOME 3 release! It's pretty clear that things are getting much more stable release-wise. Thanks everyone! This release introduces the string freeze period and the UI freeze is still in effect so all changes to UI and strings should be approved by release, docs and localization teams before commiting.
August 6th, 2010· This release is one day late, and I can already hear some people saying we're not good at respecting our schedule! I must admit that straight after GUADEC is not the best timing for a GNOME release. I guess the late tarballs due mail was already an indication of that, but adding the facts that we wanted to make sure GTK+ 3 is not needed for this release (thanks to all who added a --with-gtk=2.0|3.0 configure flag!), and that a few modules were reluctant to build (hey, modules should have vacation too!) can explain this extremely huge delay of a few hours. To make this release GTK+ 3-free, we had to take the 2.30 versions of a few modules; this is only a temporary solution and everything will go back to normal for 2.31.90.
· GNOME 2.31 is looking great, though, and it means we'll have a good GNOME 2.32! Really, try this release and you'll enjoy it. But the best thing is that a lot of people are continuing working towards GNOME 3, and this is the real exciting part! Go go go!
