It's arriving a week late, but GNOME 2.25.3 is now available. GNOME 2.25.3 is the third development release in the series leading up to the release of
GNOME 2.26 in March. There's quite a few
desktop and
platform changes within GNOME 2.25.3 from new features to interface changes to translation updates.
Among the items being worked on for GNOME 2.26 is new artwork,
WebKit or GtkMoz integration for Evolution Groupware, gnome-volume-control will be replaced with a
PulseAudio mixer, a tool-bar editor for the Nautilus file manager, and
Vinagre will pickup support for Microsoft RDP connections.
The GNOME 2.25.3 release announcement can be read
here. The GNOME 2.26.0 release is planned for March 18, 2009.
