GNOME 2.29.4 Development Release ================================ And here comes 2.29.4, just in time for the holiday season. It's a few hours late, but there were several build issues this time. But if you take all the right tarballs, this should now be okay :-) And you'll enjoy some cool stuff, like an updated nautilus with its changed focus (see discussion on nautilus-list), or various modules like gnome-control-center with tons of bug fixes. You can also take a look at gnome-keyring which has changed quite a bit internally... There are definitely many changes in there, so it's a good time to do some deep testing! You all know what you have to do now. Go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it. To compile GNOME 2.29.4, you can the jhbuild [1] modulesets [2] (which use the exact tarball versions from the official release): [1] http://library.gnome.org/devel/jhbuild/ [2] http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.29.4/ The release notes that describe the changes between 2.29.3 and 2.29.4 are available. Go read them to learn all the goodness of this release: platform - http://download.gnome.org/platform/2.29/2.29.4/NEWS desktop - http://download.gnome.org/desktop/2.29/2.29.4/NEWS admin - http://download.gnome.org/admin/2.29/2.29.4/NEWS bindings - http://download.gnome.org/bindings/2.29/2.29.4/NEWS devtools - http://download.gnome.org/devtools/2.29/2.29.4/NEWS The GNOME 2.29.4 release is available here: platform sources - http://download.gnome.org/platform/2.29/2.29.4/ desktop sources - http://download.gnome.org/desktop/2.29/2.29.4/ admin sources - http://download.gnome.org/admin/2.29/2.29.4/ bindings sources - http://download.gnome.org/bindings/2.29/2.29.4/ devtools sources - http://download.gnome.org/devtools/2.29/2.29.4/ WARNING!

Basically, since Gnome-shell takes over the "desktop", Nautilus will once more split out the device management daemon into it's own, and since Nautilus will no longer be the main "discover files" of spatialus, but rather a "pure" and "advanced" file manager, Split view and main browser mode will be the defaults
and [ http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2009-Decembe... ] for the release announcement, with the followup linking to [ http://www.gnome.org/~alexl/nautilus-2-29-1.png ] as a screenshot (somewhat cluttered) showing the new features.

tabs on the bottom... brrrr... It IS interesting to see they took a very
different approach to the tabs, as they seem separate for each half of the
split screen. Not sure what works better in real life.
