Gnome 2.x

We are rolling, rolling, rolling another release of the never ending
improvements to the GNOME desktop. Naysayers got ya down? Feeling
misunderstood? Well now is the time to step into the real world and
celebrate. The latest GNOME development release is out! Go download it.
Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, and translate
it.

GNOME 2.13.3 has been released. This is our third development release on
our road towards GNOME 2.14.0, which will be released in March 2006.

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.

lists and the proposed modules list, please see our new shiny 2.13 page

Agreed

Edge resistance was the one remaining missing feature in Metacity for me. It seems like the GNOME guys have finally settled down into optimising and polishing the desktop: if you read some of the developers' blogs, there has been huge amounts of work done in performance and memory usage optimisation.
