Looking Forward to GNOME 2.24
Development doesn't stop with GNOME 2.22. Work has already begun on GNOME 2.24, due to be released exactly six months after 2.22.
Some of the exciting things to look forward to in GNOME 2.24 will hopefully include:
- a new version of GNOME's Ekiga VoIP client featuring a revamped user interface and SIP presence support;
- the Empathy instant messaging client utilising the Telepathy communications framework;
- the often requested column and list views in GNOME's File Manager;
- the completion of the port from GNOME-VFS to GVFS; and
- bug fixes, performance improvements, and memory improvements throughout the desktop.
GNOME's roadmap details the developers' plans for the next release cycle, and the GNOME 2.24 release schedule will appear soon.
