I'm pleased to announce the immediate (once the FTP mirrors sync up availability of the latest stable release of The GNOME Desktop and developer platform, 2.8.2.

This release shows signs of the blood sweat and tears of many maintainers, developers, bug triagers and reporters, translators, documenters and probably many more. There are countless fixes and improvements in this release so anyone interested in details should read the attached changelog.
