I'm in the process of releasing gnome-games 2.5.8 as I write this. Two things strike me: one is that I seem to be doing releases about one step ahead of the release team (2.5.7 was my beta 1). The other is that I have now done more releases for 2.5 than I did for 2.3. This is odd because I could have sworn I was being slacker about the releases this time around.

For those of you still stuck in the dark ages of GNOME 2.4 there will probably be another 2.4 gnome-games release in a week or so with some bug fixes back-ported. Yeah, I know I said that 2.4.2 would be the last one.

I've finally decided to actually use IRC after eleven years of resisting its siren song (I saw what it did to my friends back in '93, or maybe it was MUDs that sucked their will to live, it's getting hard to remember). Ten minutes of lurking on #gnome-hackers has Shaun point out a bug in gnect. It's some kind of conspiracy.
