We are pleased to announce the release of GNOME 2.16.0 RC1 (2.15.92). This is one of the last releases in the 2.15 development series and represents a release that is now API/ABI, feature, string and UI frozen. Hard code freeze is quickly approaching : this means that we’re pretty close to the final 2.16.0 release. The GNOME contributors are now busy fixing the most important bugs that are still out there, localizing the whole desktop or updating our documentation.

The release notes that describe the changes between 2.15.91 and 2.15.92 are available. Go read them to learn all the changes in this release:

The Glade (GUI designer tool) that has been building your GTK+ applications for years is back with a completely new generation of homegrown free software. Supporting all the widgets in the gtk+ 2.8 familly, gnomeui widgets, the gnome canvas widget, and a whole new feature set; this new tool is sure to raise a few eyebrows.

The new and rewritten version of Glade has taken the streets!

Get it at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glade3/3.0/.

NOTE – Glade 3.0 Requires GTK+ 2.8 and libxml2, Glade 3.0 will expose properties, signals and widgets from GTK+ 2.8, remember that you need an up to date version of GTK+ to support those widgets.
