Greetings fellow Archers, GNOME 3.6 finally hits [testing]. As many packages as possible have been moved from GStreamer 0.10 to GStreamer 1.0. Remember to install the plugins if you have trouble playing media. They are: gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-ugly gst-libav libpangox has been split from pango and now resides in pangox-compat. This will require rebuilds to update dependencies. This release, as mentioned in the past, replaces ConsoleKit with logind. As such, you need to boot your system with systemd in order for GNOME to work properly. This extends to polkit and NetworkManager in general, which are also used outside of GNOME. As always, please file bugs! Have fun, Jan
