GNOME 3.14 Officially Released

[Awesomeness]

Looks fairly active to me: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/ http://git.xfce.org/

Most stuff has not been touched since 3 years. How is that ?fairly alive???

I also did not write ?completely dead? but ?practically dead? which it is with zero releases, not even bugfix releases, since April 2012. Or are users nowadays expected to crawl through git?

Then have another look: those projects are stored under the category "archive" which means "outdated, stays for historical reasons". Plus some bindings and apps. Bindings usually get auto-generated. Maybe those are stable enough/devs are happy with them.

But the desktop components that matter got commits during the last days/weeks/months. And that's what matters.

A lot of the commits in the last year are translation updates, and many of the rest are trivial (like fixing compiler warnings, version bumps, renames, and "remove unneeded files").
