Intrusion Cleanup Forces Delay For GNOME 2.6

An anonymous reader writes "Looks like the GNOME site (both web and FTP) is back up and running again (from a replacement system). The restoration work is still going on, and dynamic content does not work yet. Bugzilla should be up by tomorrow (it is already in testing mode). More details are available in this announcement. Kudos to the GNOME sysadmin team for such a rapid recovery." However, blurzero writes "GNOME 2.6 was scheduled to be released sometime today, however after evidence of possible intrusion on the web server, the release has been delayed by one week, until March 31st." Update: 03/24 14:08 GMT by T : An anonymous reader points to this story on the delay at ZD Net Australia.

New features in 2.6? by DroopyStonx · 2004-03-24 05:03 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Kind of offtopic to the security breach (but not to the release of 2.6 itself), but.. is there a list of changes/updates anywhere?

I'm curious as to what improvements have been made.
