Hi,

As of the next tarball synchronization, the devel grimoire will provide
GNOME 2.0.2. Most of the actual packages that make up the release have
been available for days, but now it's "official".

As of this release, I've also made metacity the default window manager to
be built by a cast gnome-2-desktop-profile. sawfish is still the window
manager that is being shipped with the 2.0.x series, but it does
unfortunately have several problems, and has not seen updates since the
2.0.0 release. Metacity, on the other hand, continues to improve towards
it's adoption for 2.2.0. Metacity is also being shipped by most or all
other GNOME 2 vendors. I believe that this is the right choice to make.

On a related note, the 2.1.x development cycle leading up to the 2.2.0
release in early 2003 is about to begin. As I did prior to 2.0.0, I will
provide spells for these development releases outside of the main grimoire
section, for the benefit of adventorous bleeding edge testers (and myself).
Since we have some support for multiple grimoires now, it might be a bit
easier. The 2.1.x versions will act as drop-in replacements for the packages
already available, as this release aims for binary compatibility. Stay
posted!

Oh, and happy birthday to me. It has now been just a little more than a year
since I did my first install, and submitted my first spells to what was then
called Sorcerer GNU Linux. Hurrah!

Jon
