The second release candidate of GNOME 3.28 is now available
Remember this is the end of this development cycle, enjoy it as fastGNOME 3.28 Release Candidate 2 (2.27.92) released
as you can, the final release is scheduled next Wednesday!
We remind you we are string frozen, no string changes may be made
without confirmation from the l10n team (gnome-i18n@) and notification
to both the release team and the GNOME Documentation Project
(gnome-doc-list@).
Hard code freeze is also in place, no source code changes can be made
without approval from the release-team. Translation and documentation
can continue.
If you want to compile GNOME 3.27.92, you can use the official
BuildStream [1] project snapshot. Thanks to BuildStream's build
sandbox, it should build reliably for you regardless of the
dependencies on your host system:

Minor issues found in this release (fixed in the buildstream files
pushed to [1]):
- gnome-documents doesnt include meson files in its latest tarball
- clutter-gst doesnt compile against latest gstreamer packages
(maintainers will provide a new tarball soon)
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.
