Celebrating the release of GNOME 2.8!

Submitted by stro on Wed, 2004-09-15 07:49. Gnome 2.x

Today, the GNOME Project is celebrating the release of GNOME 2.8, the latest
version of the popular, multi-platform Free desktop environment. GNOME 2.8
demonstrates the achievements in usability gained through deep collaboration
and operating system integration. We have taken our 'Just Works' philosophy
right down to the metal!

Released on schedule, to the day, it is the culmination of six months effort
by GNOME contributors around the world: hackers, documentors, usability and
accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, sysadmins, companies,
artists, users and testers. Due to their hard work, we have another great
release to be proud of - thanks very much to every contributor!

You'll find plenty of information about GNOME 2.8 in our extensive release
notes, linked from the 2.8 start page. You can also check out our gallery of
cool screenshots from dedicated GNOME users and testers!

Meanwhile, GNOME developers around the world are looking forward to working
on fresh new features for the next version of GNOME, due in March, 2005.
