Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 2.12, the latest
version of the popular, multi-platform Free desktop environment.

Released on schedule, to the day, it is the culmination of six months effort
by GNOME contributors around the world: hackers, documentors, usability and
accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, sysadmins, companies,
artists, users and testers. Due to their hard work, we have another great
release to be proud of - thanks very much to every contributor!

You'll find plenty of information about GNOME 2.12 in our extensive release
notes, linked from the 2.12 start page.

Meanwhile, GNOME developers around the world are looking forward to working
on fresh new features for the next version of GNOME, due in March, 2006.

I think it's mostly a social issue. For one reason or another, there's a stigma against using 'GNOME' libs, but not so much for straight GTK, so there's motivation for people to write apps that use "GTK but not GNOME". It's sad, really.
