GARNOME Weekly Snapshot Build: 20050715
=======================================
(ok, really it's a daily build, but we're not telling anyone)
...and then comes all the 2.11.5 updates [1].
The unstable series has a been re-released to include a number of 2.11.5 tarballs, as well as fixes to a number of the applications in geektoys and fifth-toe to ensure they build with the unstable GARNOME desktop.
Other notable fixes include:
* Firefox patches have been re-arranged for better maintenance, as well
as another crasher fix being added (m.b.o #297594)
* Firefox / Epiphany may now actually print (Joseph)
* Blank menus should no longer appear when .directory files exist
(b.g.o #305748)
In addition, as a once-off tweak, the re-release comes in two flavours:
* The standard flavour. [20050715.1850.tar.bz2]
&
* The 'Shaun McCance and his team of monkeys dominate the world'
flavour. Which includes enhancements to the Clearlooks theme to
enhance readability [20050715.1850.themed.tar.bz2]
First time users of the Weekly Builds should note:
"THESE ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO WORK" [2]
They are simply snapshots of the latest GARNOME working tree, with build
patches -- in no way are they tested as extensively as the actual releases
are -- if you're looking for a tested desktop solution, grab the versioned
releases instead.
Snapshot tarballs are marked as GARNOME-$(majorversion)-$(date).$(time)
and can be downloaded from:
Stable: ftp://cipherfunk.org/pub/tarballs/garnome/v2.10/snapshots/
Unstable: ftp://cipherfunk.org/pub/tarballs/garnome/v2.11/snapshots/
Any questions, join the IRC channel (#garnome on irc://irc.gnome.org), or
join the GARNOME mailing list.

Footnotes:
[1] ftp-release-list is strangely quiet
[2] By 'work', I mean 'do anything, including, but not being limited to, successfully compiling'
