WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
--------------------------
This release is an UNSTABLE development series snapshot. It is intended for
testing and hacking purposes ONLY. Like the Linux kernel, GNOME uses odd
minor version numbers to indicate development status, so this 2.3.x series
will eventually become the official 2.4 release. Please check the 2.3 start
page for more information: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.3/
Proposed Modules
----------------
The following modules have been PROPOSED for inclusion in the next major
GNOME release. Keep in mind that not all of them may be accepted.

as-yet-unreleased changes to Nautilus for full integration and is
currently Linux-specific).
seahorse - GPG/PGP key management utility, with Nautilus integration.

added to the control-center module).

Build Requirements
------------------
- The tarballs included in the release. :-)
- Some very basic packages not distributed with this release, such as
image libraries, popt and freetype. These should all be included with or
available for your distribution.
- Xft2 and fontconfig for superior font rendering and configuration, from
http://fontconfig.org/ OR XFree86 4.3.x.
- Docbook DTD 4.1.2, Docbook XSL stylesheets and a valid system catalogue
file for scrollkeeper (which in turn is required by many desktop
components for documentation).
Happy testing!
