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.

That was true but from my understanding the KDE devs have decided to also go with more incremental updates with the KDE4 series. They are learning their lesson after the whole KDE4 vs 4.0 debacle, if every release is a big one then people expect way too much. With incremental time based updates then the devs can focus on getting things working properly and if this release doesn't have some feature whats another six month wait. I personally think that's how Gnome gets away with not updating or fixing bugs for such long periods of time, things change so slowly that you just get used to the quirks. I still think incremental updates are a good thing.
