--=-wA1kIVgusfOFoFx2wOOL Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable It's that time again. We're closing in on the next major GNOME release. There's going to be some really bitchin new changes in this release including the super-sexy (well better) GTK+ file chooser, spacial Nautilus, better icons and MIME support, faster Yelp, better volume handling for FreeBSD, some new desktop modules, and other cool stuff. This time around, we're trying to make it easy for the user to upgrade, so we've pounded out an upgrade script. If that still causes problems for users, we will have full GNOME 2.6.0 packages for all supported versions of FreeBSD ready when 2.6.0 hits the ports tree. Pretty nifty, eh? With all of that, what could we possibly need? Well, a lot it turns out. Here's a list of things I thought of off the top of my head: * New docs (especially an FAQ) for what's new. One thing I know of is, "How do I switch back to the old Nautilus file browser?" There's also, "App foo doesn't build with gtk+-2.4. How can I fix it?" We should be ready to go with things like that at the time of release. * More cool screenshots of 2.6 Beta in action! * GNOME 2.6 Beta users really need to test things. I know Adam has been installing from ports like crazy, but we also need users to download packages from http://www.marcuscom.com/tinderbox/ and verify those work as well. * We need feature hunters. If you see something missing from a module, speak up (or better yet, write a patch). * We need broken ports hunters. If you have a favorite port that doesn't compile under GNOME 2.6 Beta, let us know (better yet, fix it). Anyone that contributes gets a heart-felt thank you in the commit notes and the HEADS UP announcement (pretty cheesy, huh?). If anyone wants to add to this list, please do. Let's make this release the best ever!
