What's really new or *fixed* in Hoary Final versus RC?
Where can I get a changelog?

Thx.

I believe Gnome 2.10.1 is in there along with bugfixes

Actually, I'm afraid this is not accurate.

If you take a look here ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libgnome/2.10/ you will see that there is no light of 2.10.1 anywhere.

On the other side, some GNOME apps are showing « 2.10.1 » on their About box (I'm not sure why), even on Hoary RC.

Actually, my question is not about apt-get update/upgrade, it's about if I should stick with my CD image (RC) or try to get the Final one.

Many people here are on dial-up, and if it's about burning a CD copy for them, I just wanted to know if there is any real fix or upgrade in the Final release to justify getting it.

Given that it took some 2 extra days past April 6th to freeze to the Final, I wonder about the causes. Security issues? Script fixes? ???
