news 28 Posted January 18, 2012 This is a bug-fix release. One notable improvement with this release is that the browser plugin now works correctly with WebKit-based browsers like Epiphany and Google Chrome. In addition, the release fixes a number of common crashers, improves the behavior of the messaging tray to interfere less with application operation, and fixes some cases where the Network menu could get confused and misbehave. About GNOME Shell ================= GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3 desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience. Tarball releases are provided largely for distributions to build packages. If you are interested in building GNOME Shell from source, we would recommend building from version control using the build script described at: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell Not only will that give you the very latest version of this rapidly changing project, it will be much easier than get GNOME Shell and its dependencies to build from tarballs.
