GNOME 2.24.0 Beta 1 (2.23.90) Released!

GNOME 2.24.0 Beta 1 (2.23.90)
=============================

Oops, I did it again. This release is one day late for various reasons,
including loss of battery power and laptop brokenness. There were also
other unrelated things that slowed everything down but you don't want to
hear about all that, do you? It's all my fault. Or maybe not. You know
what, it really sounds like a conspiracy of people trying to force us to
not release the first beta of GNOME 2.24.0. I even heard people talking
about The Swedish Conspiracy... Hrm. Who knows?

You all know what you have to do now. Go download it. Go compile it. Go
test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it.

To compile GNOME 2.23.90, you can use GARNOME [1] (which supports users
and has additional/different modules available), or the jhbuild [2]
modulesets [3] (which use the exact tarball versions from the official
release):
