GNOME 2.27.1 Released!

GNOME 2.27.1 Development Release

================================

 

Today marks the beginning of our trip towards 2.28, with the first

development release of this cycle. It's also our first release after our

git migration and it seems we survived, yay! :-) Looking at the changes

in the various tarballs, the trend to remove libgnome* and libglade

dependencies is still going on. Which hopefully means it will stop soon

(when all modules will have been migrated). There are quite a few

patches waiting in bugzilla for this, which is a good sign! Everybody

keep an eye on the targets that were set for each release -- see the

last column at http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/

 

To compile GNOME 2.27.1, you can the jhbuild [1] modulesets [2] (which

use the exact tarball versions from the official release):

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

--------------------------

 

This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is

buildable and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and hacking

purposes. GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate

development status.

 

For more information about 2.27, the full schedules, the official

modules list and the proposed modules list, please see our 2.27 page:

We hope you'll love it,
