Download Gnome 2.20

The developers of Gnome have again released their semi-annual update and provided it with 2.20 as the version number. As usual, this popular desktop environment for *nix systems does not come as a pre-installation but will need to be compiled independently in the correct order or included with an update to your favorite Linux distribution. For a complete overview of all changes in this new edition, we refer you to this page where you can also admire several screenshots. The very succinct announcement looks like this:

The improvements in GNOME 2.20 include: Improved support for right-to-left languages; desktop search integrated into the file chooser dialog; convenient new features in the Evolution email and calendar client; enhanced browsing of image collections; simplified system preferences; efficient power management and incredibly accurate laptop battery monitoring. Developers receive more help with application development thanks to a new version of the GTK+ toolkit, improved tools, and a great new documentation web site.[break]
