Welcome to the latest issue of "The GNOME Development Releases". With
this issue, we start a new cycle (numbered 2.13) in which we will see
plenty of improvements, new features, bug fixes, speedups, etc. We
invite everyone to read (test?) this issue: missing an issue is like
missing your plane. Hrm. Maybe it's not a good comparison. Anyway, you
don't want to miss it, I assure you. Go download it. Go compile it. Go
test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it.
For those not understanding the previous paragraph, this is our first
development release on our road towards GNOME 2.14.0, which will be
released in March 2006.
To compile it, you can use the jhbuild modulesets available at:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/releng/2.13.1/
bindings 2.13.1 statistics:
tar.gz: 18M total
tar.bz2: 12M total

tar.gz: 157M total
tar.bz2: 111M total
platform 2.13.1 statistics:
tar.gz: 49M total

This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is buildable
and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and hacking purposes.
GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development status.

lists and the proposed modules list, please see our new shiny 2.13 page
