GNOME 2.28 – the dawn of a new era

By

“GNOME 2.28 is complete. The new release of the Linux and Unix
desktop, probably the last in the 2.x series, includes the usual
bug fixes and enhancements to the various components, but also
offers a foretaste of Gnome 3.0 (ETA March 2010), albeit mostly in
the form of behind the scenes changes. A range of now redundant
libraries have also been marked as obsolete, though not yet
discarded.

“GNOME 2.28 includes a preview version of one of the more
conspicuous changes in Gnome 3.0, the GNOME Shell. GNOME will
consequently, from next spring, have a new look – the first
fundamental change to the desktop for several years. The
task-oriented mode of operation is intended to make it organic and
intuitive to work with.”
