GNOME 40.alpha Released

[Jordan Petridis <jordan alatiera com>]

Hi,

GNOME 40.alpha is now available. This is the first unstable release
leading to 40 stable series.

This is the first release featuring the new versioning
scheme. You can read more about it here:

If you want to compile GNOME 40.alpha, you can use the official
BuildStream project snapshot. Thanks to BuildStream's build sandbox,
it should build reliably for you regardless of the dependencies on
your host system:

The list of updated modules and changes is available here:

The source packages are available here:

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.

For more information about 3.38, the full schedule, the official module
lists and the proposed module lists, please see our 3.38 wiki page:
