The GNOME development team has announced that the final version of the GNOME 3.12 desktop environment has been officially released.
GNOME 3.12 is one of the most anticipated releases for this desktop environment, perhaps with the exception of the first version of 3.0. Even if GNOME has lost many supporters, it has managed to win many of them back with the improvements it offers in each new update.
Usually, major updates to GNOME come with a lot of new features and options, but with version 3.12 the developers have outdone themselves and it's practically impossible to list all the improvements. There are a couple of caveats though, which is generally true for any new version of GNOME.
Not all GNOME packages have been updated, however. This is a major upgrade and most applications and packages have at least some changes, but there are some smaller packages that will not receive the update. Also, you can't just download GNOME 3.12 and install it on your domain. Actually, you can, but don't. It's better to wait for the distribution and grab the packages from the repositories.
