GNOME 2.17.90 Released!

["John (J5) Palmieri" <johnp redhat com>]

GNOME 2.17.90 Development Release
================================

Yet another GNOME release is now available. This is our sixth
development release on our road towards GNOME 2.18.0, which will be
released in March 2007.  I guess you could say GNOME is marching
forward.  You know what I mean, say no more, say no more!

This release marks the start of the UI Freeze. If you break the freeze
your picture will be added to the HIG under the heading "Banned for
Life" and will have to live with the stigma of causing the "worst freeze
ever".

In any case GNOME 2.17.90 is a release of beauty. You know you want to
get it.  Go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it,
document it, translate it, fix it.

To compile GNOME 2.17.90, you can use GARNOME, which supports users and
has additional/different modules available), or the jhbuild
modulesets (which use the exact tarball versions from the official
release).

GARNOME is available at:
       http://www.gnome.org/projects/garnome/
jhbuild and jhbuild modulesets are available at:
       http://www.gnome.org/~jamesh/jhbuild.html
       http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.17.90/

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 modules list, please see our new shiny

We hope you'll love it,
