GNOME 2.20 has been released, this is the version that will be included in Ubuntu 7.10.

GNOME logoThe 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.

Here are a few things that caught my eye from the release notes:

It is interesting how GNOME is continuing to do incremental updates in their releases, while KDE is trying to change everything very quickly. Congratulations to the GNOME developers for a superb release!
