WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
--------------------------
This release is an UNSTABLE development series snapshot. It is intended for
testing and hacking purposes ONLY. Like the Linux kernel, GNOME uses odd
minor version numbers to indicate development status, so this 2.3.x series
will eventually become the official 2.4 release. Please check the 2.3 start
page for more information: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.3/
Proposed Modules
----------------
The following modules have been proposed for inclusion in the next major
GNOME release, and have been released with 2.3.0 for testing:
battfink - Energy saving and battery status utility.
epiphany - A GNOME web browser based on Gecko.
fontilus - Font management and information tools.
galeon - A GNOME web browser based on Gecko.
gcalctool - A full-featured calculator.
gedit-plugins & gtksourceview - Split off plugins and a syntax
highlighting textview for gedit.
gnome-mag, gnome-speech, gnopernicus & gok - Screen magnification, text to
speech, on screen keyboard and accessibilty features control tool.
gnomemeeting - Standards-based audio and video conferencing.
gnome-system-tools - Cross-platform user-friendly system configuration
tools.
gpdf - An xpdf-based PDF viewer.
gswitchit & libxklavier - Keyboard layout switching and configuration
tools.
gucharmap - A full-featured unicode character map tool.
nautilus-cd-burner - Integrated CD burning tool for Nautilus (requires
as-yet-unreleased changes to Nautilus for full integration and is
currently Linux-specific).
seahorse - GPG/PGP key management utility, with Nautilus integration.
themus - Theme management and information tools (will most likely be
added to the control-center module).
totem - A sound and video player (currently based on Xine, with GStreamer
support being worked on).
zenity - Provides graphical prompts and dialogues for shell scripts.
Build Requirements
------------------
- The tarballs included in the release. :-)
- Some very basic packages not distributed with this release, such as
image libraries, popt and freetype. These should all be included with or
available for your distribution.
- Xft2 and fontconfig for superior font rendering and configuration, from
http://fontconfig.org/ OR XFree86 4.3.x.
- Docbook DTD 4.1.2, Docbook XSL stylesheets and a valid system catalogue
file for scrollkeeper (which in turn is required by many desktop
components for documentation).
Happy testing!
- The GNOME Release Team
