GNOME 2.6 Desktop & Developer Platform BETA 2 (2.5.91) Released

Announcing… The second BETA release of the GNOME 2.6 Desktop
& Developer Platform! That’s right – it’s almost here, and it’s
your chance to have a sneak preview, and hopefully beat out some of
the last remaining bugs before our final release. 😉 You can find
a summary of the changes between 2.5.91 and the previous 2.5.90
release below (which now documents updated modules that didn’t have
NEWS entries too).

tar.bz2: 98M total

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

This “BETA” release is not the final GNOME 2.6 release, but is
intended for widespread testing among our user community. Like the
Linux kernel, GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate
development status. Please check the 2.5 start page for more
information:

http://www.gnome.org/start/2.5/

Build Requirements

  • The tarballs included in the release. 🙂
  • Some very basic packages not distributed with this release,
    such as image libraries, popt, and the freedesktop.org libraries
    collection. Most of these will be included with or available for
    your distribution, except the ‘shared-mime-info’ and
    ‘hicolor-theme’ modules – if you don’t install those, your desktop
    will look ugly, but it will work. 🙂
  • Docbook DTD 4.1.2, Docbook XSL stylesheets and a valid system
    catalogue file for scrollkeeper (which in turn is required by many
    desktop components for documentation).

Happy testing!

  • The GNOME Release Team

gnome-games “Sacrificial Victim”
2.5.8

This is the release candidate for 2.6. In an ideal world there
would be no major bugs in this release. Here in the real world
there will be a brown-paper-bag bug discovered tomorrow. You could

Since 2.5.7 the only changes have been bug-fixes, documentation
updates and more translations.

This is the long-awaited beta for 2.6. As far as I know there

you find in Bugzilla. The documentation is the only thing expected
to change before 2.6.0.

So what is new this time ?

Bug fixes.
Gnometris now has some basic documentation. There is a new tileset
