GNOME 2.28.0 beta 2 (2.27.91) release!

[Frederic Peters <fpeters gnome org>]

Hello all,

This is the seventh development release, and the second beta, towards
our 2.28 release that will happen in September 2009.  By now most things
are in place, and your mission is easy: Go download it. Go compile it.
Go test it.  And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it.

With this release we are now string frozen, no string changes may be
made without confirmation from the l10n team (gnome-i18n@) and
notification to both the release team and the GNOME Documentation
Project (gnome-doc-list@). The other freezes are of course still in
place, details on http://live.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning/Freezes

To compile GNOME 2.27.91, you can use the jhbuild [1] modulesets
published by the release team [2] (which use the exact tarball versions
from the official release).

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.

module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 2.27
