About GNOME Shell
=================

GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3
desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. 
GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics
hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to 
provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience.

This is still a VERY EARLY version of GNOME Shell and should not be
taken of indicative of the final user interface or performance.

We are providing tarball releases at this point largely to allow
distributions to start building packaging for GNOME Shell. If you are
interested in building GNOME Shell from source, we would recommend
building from version control using the build script described at:

 http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell

Not only will that give you the very latest version of this rapidly
changing project, it will be much easier than get GNOME Shell and
its dependencies to build from tarballs.

Changes since 2.27.1
====================

* Add volumes (removable media, etc) to Places [Adel]
* Fix problem where menus were reread many times when a desktop file
  changed because of duplicate notifications from gnome-menus. This
  could cause the shell to lock up for seconds or minutes during
  package upgrades. [Jon]
* Add GNOME_SHELL_SLOWDOWN_FACTOR=5 to see things in slo-mo [Dan]
* Larger and more organic-looking running applications glow [Colin]
* Search improvements - better keynav and display of headers
  when narrowed to a category. [Marina]
