The link to the GNOME schedule was added because of some confusion of which versions are supported upstream. Briefly outline the policy of "last two stable + current main", so that the information can also be deduced from tags etc. without scrolling through the schedule calendar. While at it, update the link to the schedule to point to the future release.gnome.org page. Death to the wiki! Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/3122>
GNOME Shell
GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience.
Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system.
All interactions with the project should follow the Code of Conduct.
Supported versions
Upstream gnome-shell only supports the most recent stable release series, the previous stable release series, and the current development release series. Any older stable release series are no longer supported, although they may still receive backported security updates in long-term support distributions. Such support is up to the distributions, though.
Please refer to the schedule to see when a new version will be released.
