This is our seventh development release on our road towards
GNOME 2.20.0, which will be released in September 2007. New
features are still arriving, so your mission is simple : Go
download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document
it, translate it, fix it.
Lots of modules have great plans for 2.19, and if you’re willing
to help there are many areas where that help is welcome! Don’t
hesitate to ask how or where you can help. If you don’t even know
where to start, just send a mail to our fantastic gnome-love
mailing list.
To compile GNOME 2.19.90, you can use GARNOME (http://www.gnome.org/projects/garnome/,
which supports users and has additional/different modules
available), or the jhbuild (http://www.gnome.org/~jamesh/jhbuild.html)
modulesets (which use the exact tarball versions from the official
release) available at: http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.19.90/
The release notes that describe the changes between 2.19.6 and

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.

official module lists and the proposed modules list, please see our
