CentOS - Oct 2018 - RHEL 7.6 released

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html-single/7.6_release_notes/

They silently rebased GNOME to 3.28, which wasn't in the 7.6 beta nor in 
the release notes. Can't wait to see it on my desktop. Too bad we still 
have to wait for 3.29, which has more fixes for the huge memory leak of 
gnome-shell.

Are you sure about this? They only mention "The FreeType font engine has
been rebased to version 2.8, which is required by GNOME 3.28" but was GNOME
itself also updated?

Oh, great. I didn't pick them up. Sorry, my bad.

I'm guessing CentOS 7.6 will arrive around the Christmas break. I expect 
we'll all be upgrading our servers while our companies are shut down for 
the break! :D

I am eagerly waiting to download CentOS 7.6 as well. I am still seeing CentOS
7.5 on CentOS download mirrors in my region, Singapore.

I wouldn't wait for 3.29 - that's a dev release. 3.30, a stable
release, is already out.
