Special thanks for this release goes to all translators. They did an amazing job, we have
now several full translations !
Thanks also to Stefan Rotsch that put together a nice web page based on GNOME layout.

We apologies to not have released in time for GNOME 2.3.5. There was no
TARBALLS DUE message (or we missed it;).

Enjoy.
