Personally I'd say that it's up to distributions how distributions
package and ship components, and up to users of distributions to
discuss packaging improvements with packagers of the distribution.



And then you have users reporting false bugs either because of component 
mismatching and/or distros not updating at all.






Bit of a problem however... A background image that I used was removed
in this version and there isn't any fallback logic to reset the
background image. Can this maybe be fixed in the first point release so
it never happens again please? Pure white desktop backgrounds aren't
very pleasant to look at...

Feel free to file a bug report with clear steps to reproduce and
version information in https://gitlab.gnome.org - thanks!



Looks like someone already did and submitted a patch. That was fast...


I don't get why the image was even removed. It had existed in Gnome for 
years but now all of a sudden it's gone?





Thanks,
andre

I filed https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/722
for the gnome-shell side.

In terms of features, this has to be one of the biggest Gnome releases 
in years. Looking forward to using it when Arch Linux decides to release 
it in full... they keep breaking it up into segmented updates for some 
reason resulting in all sorts of breakage and mismatching between the 
old and new versions. Has anyone talked to them about that?

GNOME 3.34 released

2019-09-12 Thread Matthias Clasen via desktop-devel-list
The GNOME Project is proud to announce the release of GNOME 3.34,
Θεσσαλονίκη
(Thessaloniki).

This release brings performance improvements in the shell, Drag-And-Drop in
the overview, improved mouse and keybord accessibility, previews in the
background panel, support for systemd user sessions, and more.

Improvements to core GNOME applications include new icons, sandboxed
browsing
in Web, gapless playback in Music, support for bidirectional text in the
Terminal, more featured applications in Software, and more.

For more information about the changes in GNOME 3.34, you can visit
the release notes:

 https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.34/

GNOME 3.34 will be available shortly in many distributions. If you want
to try it today, you can use the Fedora 31 beta that will be available soon
or the openSUSE nightly live images which include GNOME 3.34.

 https://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/

http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/31/Workstation/x86_64/iso/

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Medias/images/iso/?P=GNOME_Next*

To try the very latest developments in GNOME, you can also use Fedora
Silverblue, whose rawhide branch always includes the latest GNOME packages.


https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/rawhide/latest-Fedora-Rawhide/compose/Silverblue/x86_64/iso/

If you are interested in building applications for GNOME 3.34, you can
use the GNOME 3.34 Flatpak SDK, which is available in the sdk.gnome.org
repository.

This six-month effort wouldn't have been possible without the whole
GNOME community, made of contributors and friends from all around the
world: developers, designers, documentation writers, usability and
accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, students, system
administrators, companies, artists, testers and last, but not least,
our users.

GNOME would not exist without all of you. Thank you to everyone!

Our next release, GNOME 3.36, is planned for March 2020. Until then,
enjoy GNOME 3.34!

, the GNOME Release Team
