GNOME 2.24.0 Release Candidate (2.23.92)
========================================

It's the final countdown. Tadada da, tadada da da, tadada da,
tadadadadada! Hrm. I might be missing a da or two. You're lucky that you
can't hear me sing -- you'd be quite scared ;-) So here we are, with the
release candidate for 2.24.0. It's this time of the development cycle,
where we all look at what we achieved and start crying because it's so
beautiful! Oh. Why are you looking at me like this? Am I really the only
one doing this?

More seriously, it's also time to start to really start focusing on this
list of showstoppers Andre sent:

Remember that the hard code freeze starts next Monday!

You can also help Davyd write the release notes. I'm sure he'd welcome
some help!

You all know what you have to do now. Go download it. Go compile it. Go
test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it.

To compile GNOME 2.23.92, you can use GARNOME [1] (which supports users
and has additional/different modules available), or the jhbuild [2]
modulesets [3] (which use the exact tarball versions from the official
release):

TESTING! TESTING! TESTING!
--------------------------

This release is a feature, user interface and string frozen snapshot
primarily intended for wide public scrutiny before the final GNOME 2.24
release in September. GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate
development status.

For more information about 2.23, the full schedules and the official
modules list, please see our 2.23 page:

Also take a look at the abbreviated schedule reminder page at:

We hope you'll love it,

The GNOME Release Team
