After being in development for about six months, GNOME 2.26 has been released. New in GNOME 2.26.0 is the integration of the Brasero disc burning utility, volume control integration with PulseAudio, improved display management support (powered by RandR), and many other desktop enhancements.
Also released for GNOME 2.26.0 was GTK+ 2.16, which has a few improvements as well. The release notes for GNOME 2.26 with complete coverage for all of the new features can be found at GNOME.org.
We added Gnome 2.26 to our testing branch. 2.27 Series starts today with unstable branch to see what 2.28 would look like.
