GNOME 2.26 released
======================================
Celebrating the release of GNOME 2.26!
======================================
Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 2.26, the
latest version of the popular, multi-platform free desktop environment
and of its developer platform. Released on schedule, to the day, GNOME
2.26 builds on top of a long series of successful six months releases to
offer the best experience to users and developers.
For more than 10 years now, the project has been seeing a tremendous
amount of work. And as usual, it's hard to come back to a previous
version of GNOME once you've tried GNOME 2.26, which is probably the
best compliment the project can receive.
This six months effort wouldn't have been possible without the whole
GNOME community, made of contributors from all around the world:
hackers, documentors, usability and accessibility specialists,
translators, maintainers, sysadmins, companies, artists, users and
testers. GNOME would not exist without all those people. Thanks very
much to every one of them!
You'll find detailed information about GNOME 2.26 in our release notes:
http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.26/
Most distributions have already started integrating GNOME 2.26 in their
development version, or as package updates to their stable version.
Some parties are already happening in various places to celebrate this
release. But tomorrow morning, you can be sure that GNOME contributors
will already be working on their plans for the next version of GNOME,
due in September, 2009.
Enjoy! And be proud of this release!
- The GNOME Release Team

So will this version again remember to open up my browser, RSS reader, etc.. as I had left them, or do I still have to do that all by hand?
I still find it hard to believe they just ripped out awfully-ugly-but-usually-working session management code in favour of non-functional stub code for some grand SM redesign. I'm finding it harder to believe they're making releases without putting the working code back in.

That's supposed to be in 2.26.1, according to the latest discussion on the relevant bug.

I donno. Never got session stuff working for me..
Personally I just stick stuff I want to start in the ~/.config/autostart folder and depend on my browser's crash recovery feature to 'recover' were I left off the last web pages.
Then I use gdevilspie to arrange things how I like.
Other applications like RSS reader know which things I've done and not done. That sort of thing. It's not as nice, I suppose, but it does have the advantage of working across multiple desktops types and all different types of applications.
