GNOME 3.7 development is getting underway, with the 3.7.1 snapshot
that is marking the beginning of this development cycle. Features are
still being proposed and discussed [1]. This release allows some early
glimpses of whats to come [2].

To compile GNOME 3.7.1, you can the jhbuild [3] modulesets [4] (which
use the exact tarball versions from the official release). A slight
complication is that gnome-control-center 3.7.1 does not build against
network-manager-gnome 0.9.6.2 - see [5] for details and a patch.

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
--------------------------

This release is a snapshot of early 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.
