Jeff created and uploaded tarballs for java-gnome 2.5.6 (aka 2.6beta1) and asked me to send out the announcements. We’re finally API frozen - a couple of fairly big things slipped in this weekend but it mostly went quite well. Not bad considering we started very late in the 2.5 cycle. 2.7 should be far more straightforward. We now have 1 month to find and fix bugs, update example apps and try to make the documents more useful before 2.6.0 release. Testers wanted: Now is the ideal time to join java-gnome. Just send a message to java-gnome-developer@lists.sf.net and we’ll try our best to help you get started.
