widely used. Among the new features completed in this release:

Have fun!

TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 3.3.5

Hello all,

Live from snowy FOSDEM, here is your call for tarballs.

Tarballs are due on 2012-02-06 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.3.5
unstable release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which
were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule
so everyone can test them.  Please make sure that your tarballs will
be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that
will probably be too late to get in 3.3.5. If you are not able to make
a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late, please
send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll the
tarball for you!

For more information about 3.3, the full schedule, the official
module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 3.3
page:
   http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable

For a quick overview of the GNOME schedule, please see:

Thanks,

GNOME 3.3.4 Development Release

A little bit late due to various compilation errors, but here's another
snapshot of GNOME 3.4 development!  There's still a lot of flux around
some core infrastructure like Clutter and the GLib menu infrastructure,
but we're working hard to get it all settled and ready.

Have fun!

GtkBuilder GMenu changes

hi,

I was quite fond of the XML format originally used by GMenu because it
allowed for a relatively concise expression of the menus in your
application.  It turned out that this format didn't jive well with the
rest of GtkBuilder and, particularly, the tools that we use to extract
translations from our XML file formats.

For this reason, the format has been changed to be brought more into
line with how the rest of GtkBuilder works.  In doing so, I also moved
the code of the parser itself into Gtk and made it private (only to be
called by GtkBuilder).

The GLib API for parsing menus will soon disappear.  When it does, you
will have to ensure that you have the new version of GTK installed.

I apologise for making this change after many people have probably
already written their menus in the old format.  To mitigate the
inconvenience, I wrote a small XSLT program that should help with the
process of converting to the new format.

Commit: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=eed307713b8ef4da5e4edf0aa8d85aa5c32a6d4f
Bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668696
XSLT program: http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=206142

Cheers

GNOME Schedule simplified: Freezes merged

As discussed on desktop-devel-list[1][2] and by the release-team[3], the
GNOME release schedule[4] has been simplified by

      * dropping UI Change Announcement Period, and
      * merging String Change Announcement Period, API/ABI Freeze,
        Feature Freeze, and UI Freeze into "The Freeze", taking place on
        February 20th.
String Freeze and Hard Code Freeze remain as is.

Please take a look at 
         https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree#Schedule

On behalf of the release-team,

3.5. ;-)

Gtk+ 3.3.7+ bugfix will BREAK Xorg (before 1.12) unless patch is applied

Company found a bug in the XI2 handling of GTK+. The gtk+ bugfix exposes
a very visible bug in Xorg. The Xorg bug will be in Xorg 1.12.

If you're responsible for a distribution, please either run 1.12, or
ensure the fixes from freedesktop bug 44079 are applied to your Xorg
*asap*.

Reference:
 - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657578
 - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44079 (not loading atm)

In short:
 - in case gtk+ 3.3.x
 - ensure you have patch from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44079
 - otherwise bad things happen ("important focus events do not fire")

In care you prefer IRC type announcements:
<Company>	seb128!
<Company>	seb128: is the next ubuntu gona have X server 1.12?
<seb128>	 Company, no
<seb128>	 1.11 
<Company>	seb128: because we want to push a bugfix for GTK 3.4
that exposes a pretty visible bug in XI2 that they recently fixed
<Company>	seb128: lemme link you up with the relevant bugs
<Company>	seb128:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657578 and
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44079
<Company>	seb128: we have't applied the GTK fix yet, we wanted to
wait until GTK devs have a proper X to run on first :)
<seb128>	 Company, thanks, I will make sure we get that
