GNOME 2.19.2 has been released. "This is our second development release on our road towards GNOME 2.20.0, which will be released in September 2007. New features are still arriving, so your mission is simple: go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it."

metacity has reached the feature-complete status for the intended design (and audience): a minimalistic, themable window manager that doesn't do anything more than what its name implies. having said that, the theming engine has been revamped and it has support for native compositing (even though it's a bit broken). you want bling? please, go and play with compiz.
nautilus has had changes in the last two years - the search folders, for instance; what's changing now it's the underlying VFS library (gnome-vfs) which is now being completely rewritten (gvfs) and moved even lower in the stack so that gtk+ can use it natively.
so: the applications have reached maturity (bugs notwithstanding) and the platform is now getting attention for the next changes. being the platform, and as the developers community doesn't want another 1.x/2.x-like transition, it requires more time to do it. it's happening nonetheless, and it's the important thing.
