GNOME 2.31.6 Development Release

The GNOME 2.31.6 Development Release is now available

Ahah! This release is one day late, and I can already hear some people saying we're not good at respecting our schedule! I must admit that straight after GUADEC is not the best timing for a GNOME release ;-) I guess the late tarballs due mail was already an indication of that, but adding the facts that we wanted to make sure GTK+ 3 is not needed for this release (thanks to all who added a --with-gtk=2.0|3.0 configure flag!), and that a few modules were reluctant to build (hey, modules should have vacation too!) can explain this extremely huge delay of a few hours. To make this release GTK+ 3-free, we had to take the 2.30 versions of a few modules; this is only a temporary solution and everything will go back to normal for 2.31.90.

GNOME 2.31 is looking great, though, and it means we'll have a good GNOME 2.32! Really, try this release and you'll enjoy it. But the best thing is that a lot of people are continuing working towards GNOME 3, and this is the real exciting part! Go go go!
