GARNOME 2.11.92.1 has been released:
This release is a re-roll of 2.11.92 with some patches for crashers applied (notably, nautilus) and some version bumps for dbus/HAL.
It also includes the python detection code Joseph has been working on and fixes pkg-config to look in both /pkgconfig and /pkg-config directories.
Also, this release has the --disable-debug/--disable-tests flags set, so everyone who complained that 2.11.x was huge, should start rebuilding and testing now.
