GNOME 2.22 has released
Gnome 2.22 finally released. This ‘lucky’ and ‘nice’ number version bring joy to open source community. Some features, a lot of bug fixes and performance speed has added. Gnome developer has replaced Gnome-VFS. GVFS is new network-transparent virtual filesystem layer for GTK+. GVFS is designed to overcome the shortcomings of the older GNOME-VFS system. Improvements over GNOME-VFS include remembering login credentials for the entire session and being more resilient to failures. Many GNOME applications are already using GVFS, including all of the core applications.
Although GVFS is not covered by all applications, they plan to migrate all applications and make it much better on 2.24 release. I tested this release with my Ubuntu Hardy Heron Alpha 6. If you upgrade to this alpha release, you notice that almost all Gnome desktop related packages has a 2.22 version already.
The one I mostly love is a weather integration on clock applet. It gives me a current temperature, sunrise and sunset time 
On this release also, finally they include say cheese, an application to capture or make video from a webcam.

I’m looking forward to actually using this new release. Don’t know when it will be released to the Ubuntu repositories, but if it doesn’t get there within a week or two, I may have to try installing from source.

Rob - it won’t appear in the repos - the best way to use it is to upgrade to Hardy - either in April when it is released, or now to the alpha.

Yes the best way to “taste” this release is upgrade to Ubuntu Hardy
