GNOME 2.26 released

GNOME 2.26 is the latest version of the GNOME Desktop: a popular, multi-platform desktop environment for your computer. GNOME's focus is ease of use, stability, and first class internationalisation and accessibility support. GNOME is Free and Open Source Software and provides all of the common tools computer users expect of a modern computing environment, such as e-mail, groupware, web browsing, file management, multimedia, and games. Furthermore, GNOME provides a flexible and powerful platform for software developers, both on the desktop and in mobile applications.

The GNOME Desktop is released every six months and contains many new features, improvements, bug fixes, and translations. GNOME 2.26 continues this tradition.

Some cool new stuff in GNOME 2.26 include:

  • Comprehensive New Disc Burning
  • Simpler File Sharing
  • Evolution Evolves its Migration from Windows
  • Media Player Improvements
  • Volume Control Integrated with PulseAudio
  • Support for multiple monitors and projectors
  • Almost Telepathic Communication
  • Location Epiphany
