GNOME 2.29.90 Development Release

[Matthias Clasen <matthias clasen gmail com>]

This is the first beta release release towards 2.30, which will happen
in March;
time flies. Please try this release and report your findings, so that
we can make
2.30 smooth and polished.

Please note that this milestone marks the beginning of the UI freeze. This is a
good time to start summarizing what has changed in your modules in this cycle,
so that people can work on the release notes! See
http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentynine/ReleaseNotes

Also don't forget we are in those periods:

 * Feature Freeze: new functionality should be completed.
 * String Change Announcement Period: string changes must be announced
  to gnome-doc-list and gnome-i18n.

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
--------------------------

This release is a beta release 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.

modules list and the proposed modules list, please see our 2.29 page:
