<title>Welcome to GNOME &gnomeversion;</title>
+ <p>GNOME &gnomeversion; is the latest version of GNOME 3, and is the result of six months' work by the
GNOME project. It includes a series of major new features, as well as a large number of smaller improvements
and enhancements. The release includes &gitcommits; changes, made by approximately &gitauthors; contributors.
New features and improvements being introduced in GNOME &gnomeversion; include:</p>

<title>Notifications Reimagined</title>
<media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
- <p>GNOME 3's notifications system has been overhauled for &gnomeversion;. A new message list provides
straightforward access to previous notifications, and popup notification banners have been repositioned in
order to make them more noticable and to prevent them from interfering with applications. As with the
previous notifications design, actions can be taken on popup banners, including making chat replies.</p>
- <p>The date and time drop down has also been redesigned for &gnomeversion;. Not only does it include
previous notifications, but the new drop down also shows event reminders and world times. This gives a great
overview of what is currently happening, as well as what is scheduled for the day. The addition of weather
information and birthday reminders is planned for the future.</p>

popups, allowing you to quickly respond to events as they happen. This includes the ability to reply to chat

<title>Files Improvements</title>
<media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
<p>The <app>Files</app> application has had a number of significant updates for &gnomeversion;. The grid
and list views have been improved, so that they provide bigger thumbnails, easier to read rows, and have a
more attractive appearance. They are complemented by a new popover for controlling the view, which makes it
easy to change the zoom level and sort order from a single place.</p>
- <p>File deletion has also been improved for &gnomeversion;, with the addition of a new, easy to discover
undo feature. This allows files and folders to be moved to the trash using <key>Delete</key>, rather than the
previous <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Delete</key></keyseq> keyboard combination.</p>

<title>Updated Image Viewer</title>

<title>New Preview Applications</title>
<media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
<p>GNOME &gnomeversion; introduces three new preview applications. These are initial versions that are
intended for testing, and to give a taste of what is to come in future versions.</p>
- <p>The new <app>Calendar</app> application provides an elegant and simple interface to your online
schedule, and is integrated with <app>Online Accounts</app> for seamless setup.</p>
- <p><app>Characters</app> is a new character map application. Common characters are quick and easy to
browse, thanks to category-based browsing, which is accompanied by fully integrated search. A recent view
lets you quickly find characters that you have used in the past.</p>
- <p>Finally, <app>Books</app> is a new ebook viewer application for GNOME. The initial version allows
viewing comic book archives; work on ePub support is ongoing.</p>
