     <title>Sandboxed Applications</title>
-    <p>GNOME’s new application sandboxing project aims to enable the creation of secure isolated 
applications, that can be installed on multiple distributions. Major progress on this technology has been 
made during the &gnomeversion; cycle. XDG-App is (the tool which allows runtimes and applications to be 
installed) is now an official freedesktop.org project, with releases in several distributions. Additionally, 
official GNOME runtime and SDK builds are now available at <link
