GNOME 48.beta released
Hello,
GNOME 48.beta is now available. It also marks the start of the UI, feature and API freezes (collectively known as The Freeze). If you’d like to target the GNOME 48 platform, this is the best time to start testing your apps or shell extensions.
- Review the list of updated modules and changes .
- Use the official BuildStream project snapshot to compile GNOME 48.beta.
- You can use the 48beta branch of the flatpak runtimes, which is now available on Flathub beta.
- An installer image is available for testing and porting extensions.
This installer image is meant to be installed in a virtual machine with EFI support (such as the GNOME Boxes version available on Flathub). You can also try to install it on bare metal.
For this release, apps that are part of the GNOME incubator process, aiming to become GNOME core applications in the future, are included in the image: Papers (document viewer) and Showtime (video player).
WARNING! This is beta quality software. This release is intended for GNOME developers and beta testers. For more information about the 48 release, the full schedule, the official module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our schedule page .
Cheers,
GNOME Release Team
