Gnome 2.4 Release (d)

Posted by timothy on Wednesday September 10, 2003 @12:03AM from the seldon-plan dept.

chendo writes "Gnome 2.4 will be released today. Here is the link to the article on Ars Technica. GNOME 2.4 is the result of quite a bit of work toward complying with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG), which mainly focus on user interface consistency and predictability. This release has also undergone some general polish, and it can finally be said that the GNOME 2 platform has achieved maturity with this release. The Epiphany web browser, a major new component of GNOME, also makes its debut with this release. (From Footnotes)"

All KDE and Gnome Zealots please board this thread, forsaking all other threads within this topic.

To make this new guideline more comfortable for the really and truly devoted:

- KDE had all of the new features three releases ago. Please get Gnome development out of the way of The One Real GUI(tm)

- KDE whiners: eat our dust! (Gnome, The True Gui for Real People)

A Console/Lynx user... (Yeah, right... ;)

  While we're on the topic of religious software wars, you might want to try Links instead of Lynx.

  Thank you for the tip, but I'd rather just telnet in and parse the HTML myself, thank you.
  
  (That damn w3c is making life ever harder for us hard-core wankers though. Every new revision of the standards I have to 'update' my parser through a long and painfull flashing process called learning.)

  And you think that's an accomplishment? I just put the Ethernet cable to my tongue, and can feel the charges.

That sounds an awful lot like work... I think you should try and formulate your request a bit differently to get it accepted by the slashdot editors. Say, make a funny animation of the new logo and the old logo battling it out on the slashdot homepage (the new one should obviously win), and then submit that.

Thanks for the tip. You're a bit late though, lieutenant. My original post is already modded -1 Troll. *grin*

That does make it a lot clearer why we are talking of the 2.4 release before gnome.org
While I'm at it... I welcome our new Second Foundation overlords!

Re:GNOME section icon by pmz · 2003-09-10 03:49 · Score: 2, Funny

The GNOME section icon is out of date: GNOME changed their logo about a year ago.

Still the foot motif. If the goal of a "lickable" interface is ever to be attained, does this mean also having to lick the foot of a gnome who probably stepped in bear poop while out hunting?
