<title>Windows View</title>
+ <p>The window view in the Activities Overview has been substantially revised and improved for 3.8. The
view uses space more efficiently, making window thumbnails much larger and therefore easier to recognise. In
previous versions, window thumbnails were the same size. With this release, they are scaled according to
their actual size. Again, this makes individual windows much easier to identify. The result of these changes
is a more effective window switching experience which is a big improvement over previous releases.</p>

<title>Application Launching</title>
+ <p>GNOME 3.8 features a new application launching view. The frequent tab includes your most commonly
used applications, which means that you don't have to spend time looking for the things you use most often.
The all tab includes all your applications. Here we have added folders for organisation. This makes it easier
to browse your applications by keeping some groups in one place.</p>

<section>
<title>Search</title>
+ <p>Searching from the Activities Overview has been revamped for GNOME 3.8. There is a new search results
view and a new search settings panel. Together, these allow any application to present search results, making
Activities Overview search into a powerful way to access the content provided by your applications. The new
search settings complement this by giving control over which applications present search results as well as
their order in the results list.</p>

<section>
<title>Privacy & Sharing</title>
+ <p>As a part of GNOME's ongoing commitment to protecting our user's privacy, 3.8 includes a range of new
privacy and sharing settings. These allow you to control who has access to the content on your computer, how
much personal information is displayed on the screen and whether features that track your activity should be
enabled.</p>

previewed last release, and has subsequently matured into a standard part of the GNOME 3 experience. It
includes a number useful features, including clocks for different world times, alarms, a stopwatch and a
timer.</p>

Built entirely from GNOME 3 technologies, it adds a number of features such as an applications and a places
menu and a window list along the bottom of the screen. Each of these features can be used individually or in
combination with other GNOME extensions.</p>

when you use GNOME for the first time. It also helps new users learn about GNOME 3 thanks to a new set of
Getting Started video tutorials.</p>

<title>Input Methods</title>
+ <p>Integrated Input Methods were introduced for the first time in the previous release, GNOME 3.6. The
feature has been the subject of a great deal of work since then, with new features and bug fixes. These
include a new on screen display for input method switching, new candidate character popups, new settings and
the inclusion of all input method engines in the input method menu.</p>
