Expected to launch earlier in the week, more specifically on August 9, the GNOME 3.26 Beta milestone (technical version number GNOME 3.25.90) is finally here, as we thought that it would land by the end of the week because many maintainers are on vacation these days and not all the packages were ready for prime time. GNOME 3.26 entering Beta stages of development is a significant milestone for the upcoming major release of one of the most popular GNU/Linux desktop environments, meaning that it lands an important layer of new features for many of the supported GNOME apps and core components.
