Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 2.18, 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 information about GNOME 2.18 in our release notes, linked from the 2.18 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 September, 2007.

Enjoy!

Is there any word on the status of esd? Is there any possibility esd will (finally) be overhauled and / or replaced by jack (or something similar)?

I mean, I like the direction KDE4 is moving in, with replacing arts with phonon. I'ld like to see gnome make a comparable effort. Though I know jack is not the same kinda thing as phonon, at least jack is alive. Esd isn't.
