Gnome 3.8 released

Gnome 3.8 released
Finally it is not ever stopping the major updates of any Linux platforms. Here the most favourite Gnome is upgraded to 3.8 with great new features. You will be happy with these features:
  • New Settings Panes for Privacy & Notification
  • New ‘GNOME Classic’ mode
  • Revamped Search features in Activities Overview
  • New App Launching
  • Improved default apps
  • Two new ‘Preview’ Apps – Weather and Notes
Only bad news for now is that it will be easy get 3.8 immidiately. I asked Satya last night & it is going to be work best with Ubuntu 13.04 not in 12.10. Though official release is tied up with Gnome 3.6 we can use it anyhow seamlessly.

Details: GNOME 3.8 includes a huge number of smaller bug fixes and enhancements. Many details have been addressed to give a more polished experience, including new animated transitions, improved visuals and usability fixes. Many of these improvements were made as a part of the Every Detail Matters initiative, which fixed nearly 60 bugs during the 3.8 development cycle
