GNOME 2.6.0 has been released after some delay due to a intruder on their systems.

"In a release that marks the fruit of six months of hard work from our hackers, maintainers, translators, testers, usability team and accessibility team, the GNOME community has done it again: GNOME 2.6.0 continues the high standards in the areas of usability, accessibility and internationalisation that our users expect from the world's Free Software desktop.
