Hello,
GNOME 46.beta is now available. It also marks the start of the UI, feature and API freezes (collectively known as The Freeze). If you’d like to target the GNOME 46 platform, this is the best time to start testing your apps or shell extensions.
- Download the GNOME 46.beta sources.
- Review the list of updated modules and changes .
- Use the official BuildStream project snapshot to compile GNOME 46.beta.
- You can use the 46beta branch of the flatpak runtimes, which is now available on Flathub beta.
- An installer image is available for testing and porting extensions.
This installer image is meant to be installed in a virtual machine with EFI support (such as the GNOME Boxes version available on Flathub). You can also try to install it on bare metal.
We are aware of performance issues affecting the image when run in a virtual machine. As soon as a fix lands, you should be able to get it by updating the system in GNOME Software.
WARNING! This is beta quality software. This release is intended for GNOME developers and beta testers. For more information about GNOME 46, including the full schedule, please see our wiki page .
Cheers,
Abderrahim Kitouni
