Jordan Petridis has announced the release of the first alpha version of the upcoming GNOME 41.

GNOME 41.alpha released

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.
