GNOME 3619 Published by

The second beta of GNOME 3.18 has been released



With this release we are officially now in "The String Freeze" [1] (that
stacks with all the current freezes):

- String Freeze: no string changes may be made without confirmation
from the l10n team (gnome-i18n@) and notification to both the release
team and the GDP (gnome-doc-list@).

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
--------------------------

This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is
buildable and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and hacking
purposes. GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development
status.
