<p>&gnomeversion; is the latest GNOME release, and the result of six months' work by the GNOME project. It
includes new features and a large number of smaller improvements and enhancements. The release contains
&gitcommits; changes by approximately &gitauthors; contributors. New features and improvements being
introduced in GNOME &gnomeversion; include:</p>

- <media type="image" src="figures/gnome-videos.png"/>
- <p>GNOME 3.12 includes a reimagined <app>Videos</app> application. Modern in style, the new version
allows you to browse videos that are on your computer, as well as online video channels. Channels in this
release include <link href="http://www.rai.tv/">Rai.tv</link>, <link
href="http://www.theguardian.com/video">The Guardian Videos</link> channel, <link
href="http://blip.tv/">Blip.tv</link> and <link href="http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/">Apple Movie
Trailers</link>. <link xref="developers#grilo-extensions">Developers can easily add their own video
channels</link>, and we expect the list of channels to grow in the future. Additionally, integration with the
popular <link href="https://getpocket.com/">Pocket</link> service provides an easy way to watch videos that
you have saved for later.</p>
- <p><app>Videos</app> also includes a redesigned playback view. This provides a more streamlined
experience than the previous version: floating playback controls hide when you don't need them, so that
nothing gets in the way of your viewing, and the fullscreen playback view also has a new more refined
look.</p>

- <p>GNOME's new geolocation framework was first introduced in the previous release. Since then it has
received a number of updates. Cell tower positioning, GPS and nearby Wi-Fi access points have been added as
methods for determining location (GPS is only supported when built into a 3G modem), making positioning more
accurate.</p>
- <p>Geolocation feedback and controls have also been added for 3.12. An icon is now displayed in the top
bar when an application is using location services, and geolocation controls have also been added to the
system status menu. More detailed privacy controls are planned for the future.</p>
- <p>Wi-Fi positioning utilizes the <link href="https://location.services.mozilla.com/">Mozilla Location
Service</link>, which means that you can help to improve accuracy with the MozStumbler Android app on your
phone.</p>

flexible and allow effective interface designs for many common tasks. They also lend themselves to
imaginative and engaging design solutions. Popovers are used in a number of places in 3.12, and will become
increasingly common in future versions.</p>

<p>GNOME's initial setup assistant, which helps you get set up when you first run GNOME, has had a
facelift for 3.12. Based on usability research funded by the <link href="https://01.org/">Intel Open Source
Technology Center</link>, every step of the initial setup process has been updated to make it easier and
friendlier to use. Improvements include separate steps for selecting a language and region, a larger map for
selecting a time zone, the ability to select an avatar for your user account, and improved graphics
throughout.</p>
