<title>What's New for Users</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The GNOME Project's focus on users and usability continues in GNOME &gnomeversion;
+ with its hundreds of bug fixes and user-requested improvements. The
+ sheer number of enhancements makes it impossible to list every change and
+ improvement made, but these notes aim to highlight some of the
+ more exciting, user-oriented features in this release.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ GNOME 2.32 is the last planned major release in the GNOME 2.x series, with
+ only maintenance releases for GNOME 2.x planned going forward. GNOME 2.32
+ features a limited set of new features in some applications as GNOME
+ developers continue to focus on the upcoming GNOME 3.0 release scheduled
+ for March, 2011.

+ <title>Organize Your Contacts</title>
+
+ <para>
+ GNOME's instant messaging and communication application,
+ <application>Empathy</application>, built on the Telepathy communications
+ framework, has gained a number of new and important features
+ to help users communicate and manage their contacts.</para>
+
+ <para>Empathy allows you to group a contact's information together using
+ metacontacts. If one of your contacts uses multiple instant messaging
+ services, for example, you can now link the different services together
+ under one name for your contact. Empathy also has added the ability to
+ easily find your contacts by adding live contact search. You can type
+ in the contact list to quickly find a contact.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Empathy has added options to disalbe logging as well as automically popup
+ incoming chats. Other updates to Empathy include the ability to configure
+ IRCaccounts using the account assistant; allowing you to manually accept
+ server certificates; using status icons from your current theme; improved
+ connection error messages; and the ability to accept or decline incoming
+ events using buttons in the notification bubbles. You can also view
+ technical information about your current call in the details pane of the
+ audio / video dialog and also re-open a closed tab using undo in the
+ conversation window.
+ </para>

+
+ <sect2 id="rnusers.evince">
+ <title>Improved PDF Support</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The <application>Evince</application> document viewer has improved</para>
+ accessibility support through the use of the AtkText interface, which allows
+ <application>Orca</application>, the GNOME screen reader, to read
+ documents in Evince. The maximum zoom level has also been increased
+ when viewing a document.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Annotation support has been improved and you can now add annotations
+ from the side panel, change the default properties including author,
+ color, transparency and more.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ SyncTeX support has been added to Evince. SyncTex is a method that
+ enables synchronization between a TeX source file and the resulding
+ PDF or (DVI) output. SyncTex support has been added to Evince and as
+ a new plug-in for <application>gedit</application>. Backward Search, from
+ Evince to gedit, and Forward Search, from Gedit to Evince, are both
+ supported.
+ </para>

+ <sect2 id="rnusers.nautilus">
+ <title>View More Files</title>
+ <para>
+ GNOME &gnomeversion; includes updates to
+ <application>Nautilus</application>, the GNOME File Manager.
+ Nautilus has added a dialog to help you handle conflicts when
+ performing copy or move operations. When cutting files to paste them
+ in another directory, Nautilus will now display the cut files
+ with transparent icons.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Managing the files you delete that are moved to the Trash has seen
+ improvements. When viewing the Trash folder, there is a new button
+ in the information bar that allows you to restore selected files. The
+ Trash folder also shows the original location of the deleted file and
+ the date it was deleted.
