<p>GNOME &gnomeversion; includes many new features and improvements for those working with GNOME
technologies. Read on for more details!</p>
- <section id="gtk-long-term-support">
- <title>GTK+ Long Term Support</title>
- <media type="image" src="figures/gtk-long-term-support.png"/>
- <p>3.22 marks a significant moment in the history of GTK+. While
- it does not have a .0 version number, 3.22 is the first in a major new stable
- release series and is the first major GTK+ version since 3.0. Subsequent
- releases in the 3.22.x series are guaranteed to be API and ABI stable,
- with new releases being limited to bug and security fixes. These 3.22.x
- updates will be provided for at least three years. Major development work
- will continue in a separate release series, which will be consumable by
- application authors who want the latest features and are happy to deal with
- a moderate amount of instability.</p>
- <p>GTK+ 3.22 makes all the improvements introduced in the 3.x series, such
- as CSS styling, GTK+ inspector, animations, new widgets and much more,
- available in a stable form. This new way of organizing GTK+ releases
- promises to provide long-term stability for application authors who require
- it, while not impeding the overall speed of GTK+ development. It is being
- introduced after significant discussion and consultation with GTK+ users.
- More details can be found on <link
- href="https://blog.gtk.org/2016/09/01/versioning-and-long-term-stability-promise-in-gtk/";>

- <title>Flatpak</title>
- <media type="image" src="figures/flatpak.png"/>
- <p>Flatpak, previously known as xdg-app, is the next generation technology
- for application distribution on Linux. While it is an independent project
- with its own release schedule, the GNOME project plans to make Flatpak an
- integral part of its application developer experience.</p>
- <p>Since the GNOME &lastversion; release, Flatpak has made significant
- progress and has continued to mature. An important milestone has been
- reached with the introduction of a new set of APIs, called “portals”. These
- allow sandboxed applications to access resources from the host system.</p>
- <p>GNOME 3.22’s developer technologies come with complete support for
- portals, through both GLib and GTK+. Supported portals include the file
- chooser, printing, URI opening, suspend/log out/idle inhibit, screenshots,
- notifications and network status. This allows fully sandboxed applications to be
- written for the first time. Portal access is transparent, although
- <code>GtkFileChooserNative</code> is recommended over the regular
- <code>GtkFileChooser</code>. More information can be found on
- <link href="https://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2016/07/08/portals-using-gtk-in-a-flatpak/";>
- Matthias Clasen’s blog post</link>.</p>
- <p>More information about Flatpak, including developer documentation and a
- growing list of Flatpak applications you can try, can be found on
- <link href="http://flatpak.org";>flatpak.org</link>.</p>
- </section>

- <section id="builder">
- <title>Builder</title>
- <media type="image" src="figures/builder.png"/>
- <p>GNOME 3.22 is another big release for Builder, with several key pieces
- of the new IDE falling into place. A new built-in profiler makes it
- possible to find performance issues in your project, and sees Builder
- become a multi-function IDE for the first time. The profiler currently
- supports C and C++, with more language support expected in the future.</p>
- <p>Builder’s UI has received some significant polish since 3.20. A new
- perspective switcher provides a more elegant way to change between modes,
- and the search bar has been relocated. Most significantly, a new “project
- bar” provides information about the current project, branch and
- build profile, and also makes it possible to build and run your project
- with a single click from anywhere in the IDE.</p>
- <p>Other enhancements in Builder 3.22 include:</p>
- <list>
- <item><p>A new find and replace feature, which includes the usual options
- for case sensitive search, regular expressions, and word matching.
- </p></item>
- <item><p>Builder’s code editor now makes it really easy to work with
- colors, thanks to color highlighting and a new color picker sidebar.
- </p></item>
- <item><p>The pages for creating, cloning and opening projects have
- been improved, with better layouts and more project creation options.
- </p></item>
- <item><p>A new quick highlight plugin highlights text that matches
- the current selection.</p></item>
- <item><p>The C, XML, and HTML indenters have all been expanded to support
- more syntax styles.</p></item>
- </list>
- </section>
-
- <section id="gtk+">
- <title>GTK+ Improvements</title>
- <media type="image" src="figures/css-blend-modes.png"/>
- <p>In addition to Flatpak portals integration, other improvements in GTK+
- 3.22 include:</p>
- <list>
- <item><p>CSS blend modes. This is a common CSS feature that allows
- images to be programmatically transformed. Georges Stavracas,
- who implemented the feature, has provided
- <link href="https://feaneron.com/2016/07/03/css-blend-modes-in-gtk/";>more
- details on his blog</link>.</p></item>
- <item><p>GTK+ 3.22 allows graphics tablets to be used with Wayland.
- Carlos Garnacho has written about <link
- href="https://blogs.gnome.org/carlosg/2016/08/24/wayland-%E2%99%A1-drawing-tablets/";>
- how to add support for this to applications</link>.</p></item>
- <item><p><link href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkGLArea.html";>
- GtkGLArea</link> can now be used with either full OpenGL or OpenGL for
- Embedded Systems (known as OpenGL ES or GLES).</p></item>
- <item><p><link href="https://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/stable/GdkMonitor.html";>
- GdkMonitor</link> is a new more convenient way to get monitor
- information, and provides richer information than was previously
- available with <link
- href="https://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/unstable/GdkScreen.html";>GdkScreen</link>.</p></item>
- </list>
- <p>Additionally, while it is not being introduced in 3.22, major progress
- has been made on the GTK Scene Graph (GSK) over the past six months. With
- the new release model described above, the way is clear for this to be
- integrated into GTK+’s new unstable release series in the near future.</p>
- </section>
-
- <section id="GLib">
- <title>GLib Structured Logging</title>
- <media type="image" src="figures/glib-structured-logs.png"/>
- <p>GLib’s logging API has been reworked to support structured key–value log
- fields. This makes it easier to add logging and makes it possible to write
- more powerful logging schemes. It also makes it possible to include more
- metadata in log messages, such as <link
- href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.journal-fields.html";>
- message IDs</link>.</p>
- <p>As a part of this work, GLib’s logging infrastructure has been
- reorganized around a “writer” function, where an application specifies its
- logging policy. Log handlers are deprecated in favor of this, which
- reduces ambiguity about how and where logs should be handled, and
- eliminates conflicts between log handlers.</p>
- <p>GLib will now automatically pass logging data to systemd-journald,
- if it is running. stdio-based output works as previously, but with the
- addition of color!</p>

- <media type="image" src="figures/flatpak-integration.png"/>
- <p><link href="http://flatpak.org/";>Flatpak</link> is the next generation
- application distribution framework for Linux. This technology aims to make
- it easier to distribute applications for Linux, and thereby increase the
- number of applications that are available. Flatpak applications have other
- advantages, too: they are more secure, and can be safely updated without
- having to reboot.</p>
- <p>GNOME &gnomeversion; comes with comprehensive Flatpak support. The
- Software application is now able to install Flatpak repository files, which
- means that it is possible to install Flatpak repositories and applications
- without ever having to use the command line. Numerous other smaller
- changes makes it easy to install and update Flatpak applications, such as
- the display of source information for each application, as well as details
- about whether applications are sandboxed.</p>
- <p>GNOME &gnomeversion; also introduces developer tools which allow
- applications to take full advantage of Flatpak’s security features. This
- will allow applications to have much greater protections for users in the
- future.</p>

- <section id="rename-multiple-files">
- <title>Rename Multiple Files</title>
- <media type="image" src="figures/files-batchrenaming.png"/>
- <p>The Files application now allows multiple files to be renamed at the
- same time. This is extremely useful when dealing with collections of
- similar files, such as videos, music or photos. Files can be renamed using
- either a template that is applied to each file, or by searching for and
- replacing parts of all the file names. The template mode allows details
- from the files to be included as part of their names, such as their
- creation date, or the track number, artist name or album name for music
- files.</p>
- <p>To use the new feature, simply select multiple files and then either
- select <gui>Rename…</gui> from the context menu or press <key>F2</key>.</p>

- <title>Photo Sharing</title>
- <media type="image" src="figures/photo-sharing.png"/>
- <p>Last release, Photos gained a new set of photo editing features. For
- &gnomeversion;, another critical feature is being introduced: the ability
- to easily share photos with other people. The new sharing feature allows
- photos to be shared by uploading them to Google, or by sending them as an
- email attachment. Further sharing destinations are planned for the future,
- including a range of social networks.</p>
- <p>Photo sharing is fully integrated with Online Accounts, so to upload to
- Google it is first necessary to add a Google account from the Settings
- application.</p>

- <section id="improved-software">
- <title>Improved Software</title>
- <media type="image" src="figures/software.png"/>
- <p>The Software application has an updated look for GNOME &gnomeversion;. The
- landing page has been revamped and now shows more application tiles, and
- the category section makes browsing a more integral part of the experience.
- Star ratings are also displayed more prominently, in order to make it
- easier to find the best applications to install.</p>
- <p>Software has other improvements, too. Color coded badges now clearly
- indicate if an application is Free Software, and the layout of many lists
- and pages has also been refined.</p>

- <title>Wayland Progress</title>
- <media type="image" src="figures/wayland.png"/>
- <p>Wayland is the next generation technology for display and input on
- GNU/Linux. It eliminates graphics glitches, addresses long-standing bugs,
- and lays the foundation for more secure applications. Wayland also brings
- new functionality, such as multitouch touchpad gestures.</p>
- <p>GNOME’s Wayland support has been steadily maturing over recent releases.
- In GNOME &lastversion;, it became usable for the majority of users. Since
- then, support has continued to improve with the majority of missing
- features being filled in. This includes support for Wacom graphics
- tablets, the ability to rotate displays, and support for GNOME’s on-screen
- keyboard. Numerous smaller issues have also been resolved, making the
- Wayland experience even more polished.</p>
- </section>

- <title>Improved Files Application</title>
- <media type="image" src="figures/files.png"/>
- <p>In addition to bulk renaming, the Files application has a large number
- of other improvements for GNOME &gnomeversion;. Compressed file
- functionality has been directly integrated, so that extracting a compressed
- file (such as a .zip or .tar.gz file) just requires a double click, rather
- than using a separate application. New compressed files can also be
- created, using a variety of formats.</p>
- <p>Also in Files, the view and content sorting controls have been
- overhauled for &gnomeversion;. This makes it possible to switch between the
- grid and list view with a single click and makes the zoom and sorting
- options much more straightforward. These changes were informed by usability
- testing performed by Gina Dobrescu as a part of an
- <link href="https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/";>Outreachy</link> internship.
- </p>
- <p>Other UI enhancements include automatic hiding of the floating status
- bar, so it doesn’t get in the way, and the inclusion of extra information
- about connecting to servers, including which file protocols are supported.
