TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 2.32.0 Beta 1 (2.31.90), and UI Freeze

[Frederic Peters <fpeters gnome org>]

Hey hey,

*Tarballs are due* on 2010-08-16 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME
2.31.90 beta release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules
which were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable
schedule so everyone can test them.  Please make sure that your
tarballs will be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded
later than that will probably be too late to get in 2.31.90. If you
are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you think
you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll find
someone to roll the tarball for you!

Many deprecation notices landed in GTK+ recently, if you have set your
tarballs to disable deprecated stuff, please make sure they still
build, if it fails, it is of course best to update your code, but you
could also remove the disable deprecated defines from your build
options.  http://blogs.gnome.org/otte/2010/07/27/rendering-cleanup/

*No UI changes* may be made at all without confirmation from the
release team and notification to the documentation team; be sure
to ask!

To help write *good release notes*, please do add major user-visible
changes happening during the 2.31 release cycle to this wiki page:
