GNOME 48.8 Released

adrianvovk · January 14, 2026, 6:12pm

Hi,

GNOME 48.8 is now available!

This is a stable bugfix release for GNOME 48. All operating systems shipping GNOME 48 are encouraged to upgrade.

Review the list of updated modules and changes.
Use the official BuildStream project snapshot to compile GNOME 48.8.

GNOME 48.8 is designed to be a boring bugfix update for GNOME 48 so it should be a safe and uneventful upgrade from earlier versions of GNOME 48.

Enjoy!
GNOME Release Team

Thanks! There’s an empty directory for a future 48.9 ( Index of /teams/releng/48.9/ ), Debian GNOME release tracker fails because of it (as it then expects 48.9 to exists), is this possible to remove that directory for now?

Yea I can remove it. I made the directory by accident but then wasn’t expecting it to break anything so left it there as we’d have to create it anyway next month.
