GNOME 2.6 Desktop Developer Platform Release Candidate 1 (2.5.92) has been released

This is the RELEASE CANDIDATE of the GNOME 2.6 Desktop Developer Platform! That's right - it's almost here, and this is your last chance to have a sneak preview, and hopefully beat out some of the last remaining bugs before our final release. You can find a summary of the changes between 2.5.92 and the previous 2.5.91 release below.

WELCOME! WELCOME! WELCOME!
--------------------------

This release candidate is not the final GNOME 2.6 release, but very close. So close, you might not even notice a difference, so you may as well install this because we know the suspense is driving you up the wall. Like the Linux kernel, GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development status. Please check the 2.5 start page for more information:

http://www.gnome.org/start/2.5/


Build Requirements
------------------

- The tarballs included in the release.

- Some very basic packages not distributed with this release, such as image libraries, popt, and the freedesktop.org libraries collection. Most of these will be included with or available for your distribution, except the 'shared-mime-info' and 'hicolor-theme' modules - if you don't install those, your desktop will look ugly, but it will work.

- Recent Docbook DTD and XSL stylesheets, plus a valid system catalogue file for scrollkeeper.


Happy testing!

- The GNOME Release Team
