De ontwikkelaars van Gnome hebben woensdag versie 2.22 van de desktopmanager uitgebracht. Nieuw in Gnome 2.22 zijn onder andere de applicaties Cheese en Anjuta. Cheese is een programma waarmee foto’s en video’s met een webcam gemaakt kunnen worden. Anjuta is een integrated development environment voor het kloppen van code in C en C++. Daarnaast zijn er nieuwe tools voor systeembeheerders is versie 2.22 gestopt en is de e-mailclient Evolution onder handen genomen. Wat er nog meer veranderd is in Gnome 2.22 kan in dit nieuwsbericht gelezen worden.

Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 2.22, the latest version of the popular, multi-platform free desktop environment and of its developer platform. Released on schedule, to the day, GNOME 2.22 builds on top of a long series of successful six months releases to offer the best experience to users and developers.

For more than 10 years now, the project has been seeing a tremendous amount of work. And as usual, it’s hard to come back to a previous version of GNOME once you’ve tried GNOME 2.22, which is probably the best compliment the project can receive.

This six months effort wouldn’t have been possible without the whole GNOME community, made of contributors from all around the world: hackers, documentors, usability and accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, sysadmins, companies, artists, users and testers. GNOME would not exist without all those people. Thanks very much to every one of them!
