Status of GNOME 2.24

[Joe Marcus Clarke]

As some of you may have seen, we committed GNOME 2.24 to MarcusCom CVS a
few days ago.  Since this, mezz has been working on the UPDATING
instructions (should be good to go in MC-UPDATING), and I just started
the GNOME 2.24 package builds on i386 and am64.

What we need from you, the users are reports of regressions (i.e.
"known" issues), screenshots, and general feedback.  One item we need
feedback on in particular is GDM.  The GNOME release team made a
last-minute decision to ship GDM 2.24 with GNOME 2.24.  There are some
known AT regressions and possibly some XDMCP regressions.  We need to
make sure a large enough set of users test this port out.  If our user
base is seeing these regressions, we may decide to ship GDM 2.20 along
with 2.24, and give users a choice.

To start using GNOME 2.24, see
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/develfaq.html .  Packages for all
supported versions of FreeBSD will take a few days to complete.
Screenshots and feedback can be sent to freebsd-gnome at freebsd.org .
Thanks!

Joe
