The GNOME development community has announced the official release of version 2.22 after six months of development. GNOME is an open-source desktop environment that supplies a complete user interface and an assortment of programs for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. GNOME 2.22 includes some important new architectural features and a handful of significant new programs. Among the most important enhancements in GNOME 2.22 are the GVFS virtual file system framework, which brings improved network transparency to GNOME desktop applications, and the PolicyKit framework, which provides improved support for secure privilege elevation.

I'm a big fan of GNOME, having been using it consistently since ~2.14 (before that, KDE). The 2.22 changelog is nice, I guess, but like others I feel like progress is becoming a tad stagnant. I still prefer GNOME to KDE4, but I could see that changing once KDE4 receives a bit more polish (4.2?). It's not necessarily GNOME's fault, as I think it has more to do with QT evolving faster than GTK.
