GNOME 3.30 Gentoo notes
Please see upstream GNOME 3.30 Almería Release Notes and video for what is new version 3.30. As the previous stable version was 3.24, you may also be interested in the following news: GNOME 3.28 Chongqing Release Notes and video. GNOME 3.26 Manchester Release Notes and video.

The following is Gentoo specific notes for 3.30 release:


 * If  is enabled in relevant packages, GNOME in Gentoo now defaults to a Wayland session. In practice this means that when GDM itself runs with Wayland, both sessions will be available as a choice ("GNOME" and "GNOME on Xorg"), but when no explicit session choice is present for your user in AccountsService, the default will be Wayland over Xorg when possible. If GDM runs with Xorg, the GNOME session will however also be Xorg. The USE flag is not enabled by default via profiles yet, but this will change as we are getting ready with stabling 3.32 release. GNOME Wayland in 3.30 is running quite good (except with nvidia-drivers), and you may enable it by yourself until then, if interested.
 * OpenRC is once again supported for running GNOME on Gentoo. Choose the  profile instead of   if you want to use GNOME with OpenRC. Please don't accidentally choose a different releases (17.0 vs 17.1, etc) profile without doing relevant migration work.
 * We may have a different set of applications that are pulled in via our meta-packages. Most applications are packaged however, and can be installed separately if desired.
