GARNOME 2.19.3 has been released:

We are particularly proud of all the hacking and smoke-testing that has been going on during the past couple days. New tarballs have been built and tested by various GARNOMEies as fast as we could update SVN.

Once again, this early testing revealed a number of serious issues with some of the GNOME applications, a bunch of bug reports where filed, resulting in new, fixed tarballs being rolled as quickly as possible -- before the official release deadline. Our contribution to make even unstable development releases a somewhat sane place to live. Thank you, #garnome!

We are pleased to announce the release of GARNOME 2.19.3 Desktop and Developer Platform. This release includes all of GNOME 2.19.3 plus a bunch of updates that were released after the GNOME freeze date.

This is the third release in the unstable cycle, with more features, more fixes and yet more madness added. It is for anyone who wants to get his hands dirty on the development branch, or who'd like to get a peek at future features. If you want to help spot issues in GARNOME, (or, better yet, fix 'em ;-) this release is for you as well.

As usual, you can get the tarball directly from the gnome.org site:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/garnome/2.19/

Note: GNOME 2.19.x is an unstable branch and is assumed to be a moving target. Therefore, things in this release may not work as advertised.

If you find any issues with this release, feel free to contact the GARNOMEies in the #garnome channel on GIMPNet (irc://irc.gnome.org), where we hang out, or post to the mailing list.

More information is available at our project website:
http://www.gnome.org/projects/garnome/

Enjoy,

The GARNOME Team
