GNOME 2.14.0 Release Candidate

Submitted by stro on Wed, 2006-03-01 18:24. Gnome 2.x

Woohooo! This is our last unstable release before the big .0 release.
Lots of new features and bug fixes have been added during this cycle,
probably more than what you can remember if you've been running all the
unstable releases so far. But if you can remember, then you're ready to
help with the release notes :-)

See this mail for instructions on how to
contribute to the 2.14.0 release notes:

TESTING! TESTING! TESTING!
--------------------------

This release is a feature, user interface, and string frozen snapshot
primarily intended for wide public scrutiny before the final GNOME
2.14 release in March. GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate
development status. Please check the 2.13 page for more info:

Happy testing!
