The Very Exciting GNOME 3.12 Has Been Released

I've been dabbling with gnome a little bit myself and I personally really like it. Some of these changes seem really nice. I don't think i'd ever use it for my main PC (too many restrictions), but it's still a great platform. People seem to hate it for the same reason they hate Windows 8 - the name implies you're getting a similar product to the predecessor, but it functions different enough that it angers people who can't handle change. Also, gnome is a lot better for touchscreens. Note that I'm primarily a KDE and XFCE user.

I'm generally a bigger fan of gnome shell than the average linux user but in this case I was actually surprised by how many impovements had gone under the radar only to pop up in the release notes.
Pardon the cliche but this is comfortably the best gnome release in a while.

Oh, I can't wait...
There are already 3.12 apps in the [gnome-unstable] repo, which is kind of a staging repo.

Thanks.
Like blackout said, most of GNOME 3.12 is in the gnome-unstable repo, which tends to be your best bet for trying new releases early. The only major package I'm not seeing there right now is the Shell, so it's likely you'll be able to take a look at that soon enough.

Is it? I've heard Plasma became quite good at this as well. (My display is not HiDPI, so I can't tell.)
