This is the fifth release of the GNOME 2.21.x series, heading towards the stable GNOME 2.22.x release. More information about new development can be found here: http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap

Lots of new development has started already and new modules for 2.22 release have been integrated. Please test those as much as you can and file bugs in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ if you want them fixed before the stable release.

Note that we are currently are in string + UI change announcement periods, as well as API/ABI, features and modules freezes.

Some nautilus-extensions might be missing in some modules (seahorse / file-roller), as they have not yet been ported to the new gio/gvfs infrastructure.

To compile GNOME 2.21.5, you can use GARNOME (http://www.gnome.org/projects/garnome/, which supports users and has additional/different modules available), or the jhbuild
(http://www.gnome.org/~jamesh/jhbuild.html) modulesets (which use the exact tarball versions from the official release) available at: http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.21.5/
