GNOME 2.26 Released

http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.26/

And to the newbies, before you ask, no, it won't be available for Fedora 9 or 10. It's Fedora policy not to build a new version of Gnome for a current release as it breaks/requires too many things

What about in Fedora 8?

xD

Kidding.

Anywho, I'm waiting for gnome 2.30 or rather "Gnome 3"

Does this Gnome 2.26 contains coustomizing login screen option?

No, it probably doesn't. Most distros will probably still use the old, but stable GDM. Fedora will continue to use the "not finished yet" version of GDM

Foresight Linux may have a release with latest Gnome.as I understands ,Foresight is the only distro coming with latest Gnome(when it releases).

Is it real tough for a non-programming/math weakling guy to compile Gnome latest version usin GARNOME or Jhbuild?Had anyone tried?

The only time new Ubuntu is interesting *is* when Gnome adds new stuff.

haha true, all the big changes in ubuntu since I first tried it (6.06 Dapper Drake) have just been things added by gnome or kde

still Debian base make it better ,if not best

I assume that this release is more of a code-cleanup/maintenance/kicking-out-old-libs one. So, from user's POV really nothing to get too excited about. All the major changes are, hopefully, going to be seen in F13.
Although Evolution's improved Exchange support might prove useful to those working in MS environments.

What is this "GNOME" thing you're all talking about?
