GNOME 2.17.90 Development Release is now available:
Yet another GNOME release is now available. This is our sixth development release on our road towards GNOME 2.18.0, which will be released in March 2007. I guess you could say GNOME is marching forward. You know what I mean, say no more, say no more!
This release marks the start of the UI Freeze. If you break the freeze your picture will be added to the HIG under the heading "Banned for Life" and will have to live with the stigma of causing the "worst freeze ever".

The "Same procedure as every year, James" release.
Same old game -- a bunch of late updates. This time round, the latest one has been pushed just a few minutes before the GARNOME release. The package has been tested prior to the release nonetheless. Not the usual news would be some particular known-to-be-broken packages making progress, and finally being useful...
GNOME 2.17.5 Development Release

The first GNOME release of 2007 is available. This is our fifth development release on our road towards GNOME 2.18.0, which will be released in March 2007. In France, we have a wise saying: "Dans le cochon, tout est bon." Okay, don't ask me why I'm writing this here, since I don't know why. Or maybe it's because we could say the same about this release. Or maybe it's because I'm hungry.

The 2.17.5 release is an unstable release of GDM with the following new features.
- No longer close file descripters in forked process which shows dialog boxes since this causes the dialogs to not display any text. (Brian Cameron)
- Now GDM will recognize when the system default language has changed and will display new GUI's with the new default language. By default the /var/sysconfig/i18n file is assumed to have the language defined in LANG=foo format. The --with-lang-file configure option may be needed to specify a different system language configuration file. On Solaris, for example, it would be /etc/default/init. (Ray Strode and Takao Fujiwara)
- Remove filter_watch after it is called for the first time. This filter is used to start the at_spi_registryd, but after it is started there is no need to listen to the propery any more. (Li Yuan)
- Further improvements to gdmsetup to improve usability. (Lukasz Zalewski)

Notes:
* This is unstable development release. While it has had fairly extensive testing, there are likely bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production.
* Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of Pango. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall Pango-1.14.x
* Bugs should be reported to

Here's another release of the GNOME Utilities package. I know, I know: the number of releases in the development cycle has been incredibly low, and unfortunately some of the promised features I tried to implement did not make it into the final cut; the plug-in and code refactoring of the system log viewer, for instance, didn't quite stabilise during development, so it'll need some more time in the oven in order to be ready. Another feature was the rework of the screenshot save dialog; that too will have to wait (not much, though, I promise). And, finally, the dictionary hasn't been ported to the GtkPrint API, so it'll still use libgnomeprint.
But what's new in this release, then? Here's the NEWS:
gnome-mag provides a command-line interface for standalone use, although its primary goal is to provide a set of magnification services for use by other client applications and assistive technologies.
Alacarte is a simple Applications/Desktop menu editor for GNOME that supports moving, renaming, hiding, and creating menus and menu items.
This is zenity - a rewrite of gdialog, the GNOME port of dialog which allows you to display dialog boxes from the commandline and shell scripts. If you understand, things are just as they are. If you don't understand, things are just as they are.
