GNOME 2.24.2 has been released. Here the announcement:

This is the second update to GNOME 2.24. It contains many fixes for important bugs that directly affect our users, documentation updates and also a large number of updated translations. Many thanks to all the contributors who worked hard on delivering those changes in time. We hope it will help people feel better in their daily use of computers!

The next stable version of GNOME will be GNOME 2.24.3, which is due on January 14th. Meanwhile, the GNOME community is actively working on the unstable branch of GNOME that will become GNOME 2.26 in March 2009.
