Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 3.8, the
latest version of the popular free desktop, as well as the GNOME
developer platform.

GNOME 3.8 is the fourth major update of GNOME 3. It builds on the
foundations that we have laid with the previous 3.x releases and
offers a greatly enhanced experience. The exciting new features and
improvements in this release include a integrated application search,
privacy and sharing settings, notification filtering, a new classic
mode, OwnCloud integration, previews of clocks, notes, photos and
weather applications, and many more.

GNOME 3.8 will be available shortly in many distributions. Live images
of GNOME 3.8 are currently being prepared and will appear soon at:

This six months effort wouldn't have been possible without the whole
GNOME community, made of contributors and friends from all around the
world: developers, designers, documentation writers, usability and
accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, system
administrators, companies, artists, testers and last, not least,
users. GNOME would not exist without all those people.

Thanks very much to every one of them!

Our next release, GNOME 3.10, is planned for September 2013.

Until then, enjoy GNOME 3.8 !
