VERSION 11.0!!!
Hello! 🎊 🎺 🎉 🥳 Version 11 is here!
Version 11 only supports GNOME version 50. I rushed to get a release out because Ubuntu 26.04 and Fedora 44 are coming at us quick! I'll be working on new features for GNOMEv50+ as we progress through 2026.
NOW APPROVED by E.G.O.!
For those of you on GNOME versions 46-49, please use version 9. I will be maintaining that for a long time but there will not be any new features for it. All new features will be incorporated into version 11 and beyond. This decision is based on the the fact that there are major changes in GNOMEv50. Also, because testing on 4 different versions of GNOME was difficult enough. Adding GNOMEv50 to the mix was too much for one version of the software (and one lonely maintainer!) So now we have the two major versions of Draw On Gnome as shown in the table below.
ENJOY!!! 🖳→→😀
If you are interested in contributing, please read the contributing document, and note that I have effectively split D.O.G. into two versions:
| Version | GNOME Support | Status |
|---|---|---|
| v9.0 | GNOME 46–49 | Frozen — maintenance only |
| v11.0+ | GNOME 50+ | Active development |
All new development targets GNOME 50+. If you are contributing a new feature, it belongs in the v11.0+ codebase only.
PRs for v9.0 will not be accepted unless they address a critical bug or security issue. To do this, please work in the version-9 branch!
Here's where we stand:
- v9.0 on E.G.O. — live, frozen, GNOME 46–49
- v11.0 on E.G.O. — submitted, awaiting review (JustPerfection situation means patience required)
- v11.0 on GitHub — released, available now for GNOME 50 users on Fedora 44 and Ubuntu 26.04
- Install script — updated and working for GNOME 50
- CONTRIBUTING.md — updated to reflect the v9/v11 split
- Schema files — split into three, Shexli EGO-P-004 error - resolved Image null guard — fixed
- Slider deprecation — fixed
That's it. Party on dude! 🥳🥳
