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):

  [2] http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.29.4/

WARNING! WARNING! 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 2.29, the full schedules, the official
modules list and the proposed modules list, please see our 2.29 page:
  http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/

Also take a look at the abbreviated schedule reminder page at:

We hope you'll love it,

The GNOME Release Team

A few words on the changed focus of Nautilus (and/or a link to the
discussion on nautilus-list) would be interesting.

[ http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2009-Decembe... ] Should cover your desires then?

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.

Interesting. It starts to look more like Dolphin every day, however having
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.
