The &os; GNOME Team maintains the GNOME, MATE, and + CINNAMON desktop environments and graphical user interfaces for + &os;. GNOME 3 is part of the GNU Project. MATE is a fork of + the GNOME 2 desktop. CINNAMON is a desktop environment using + GNOME 3 technologies but with a GNOME 2 look and feel.

+ +

At the end of this quarter we updated GNOME and CINNAMON + to the latest versions on their branches, 3.14 and 2.4, + respectively.

+ +

GNOME 3.16 was released February 25th; we ported it to + &os;. There are still some showstopper problems that showed up. + During testing of the current versions of the 3.16 ports a bug + in pkg was uncovered in the multiple repository support, and + swiftly fixed in pkg 1.4.99.15.

+ +

For the GNOME 3.18 cycle we going to work closely with + the x11 team on porting libinput and testing Wayland. When that + is done we need to see if we want to enable Wayland for our + stable releases and we probably need XWayland from + xorg-server 1.16+ to support X applications. The + estimate is that Wayland arriving in ports will have to wait + until 8.4-Release is EOL.

+ + + + +

The GNOME website is stale. Work is underway, although + slowly, on the development section. We could use some + help here.

+ + + +

MATE 1.10 porting is under way; the latest 1.9 releases + are available in the mate-1.10 branch.
