Gnome 2.18
Saturday, March 17th, 2007Gnome 2.18 has been released, but after looking at the release notes, I feel this release is much less significant than people are making it out to be.
Compare the release notes of the last 3 releases of Gnome with that of Gnome 2.18:
The 2.18 release notes are important because they are a single page, whereas the others are all split over multiple pages - each one of a length that rivals the entirety of the 2.18 release notes.
Are the release team getting lazy in their documentation? Or has Gnome development slowed significantly over the last 6 months resulting in a fairly dull release.
I’ve heard reports that there are “numerous performance improvements” in 2.18, but they’re not documented in the release notes - unlike in previous releases.
Does this mark a change in the detail to which releases are documented? I hope not.
