+    <p>Web, the GNOME web browser, has gained a number of new features for 3.8:</p>
+    <list>
+      <item><p>A new private browsing mode introduced, which allows you to browse without records being kept 
about your activity.</p></item>
+      <item><p>An improved page search interface, which is more consistent with other GNOME 3 
applications.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Updated and improved media controls for HTML5 content.</p></item>
+      <item><p>If you close a tab, there is now the option to easily reopen it.</p></item>
+      <item><p>A new tab button has been added to the toolbar.</p></item>

+   <title><media type="image" src="figures/gnome-boxes.png"/> Boxes</title>
+   <p>Boxes is the GNOME application for using virtual machines as well as connecting to remote computers. 
In addition to stability and performance enhancements, it has received a large lot of small improvements for 
3.8:</p>
+   <list>
+     <item><p>Automatic USB redirection support for new virtual machines (as well as the option to add it to 
existing ones). This makes it possible to use USB devices (cameras, flash drive, etc) from inside a virtual 
machine.</p></item>
+     <item><p>Smartcard support.</p></item>
+     <item><p>With Windows XP and Windows 7 express installation, a number of features now work out of the 
box, including copy and paste between the host system and the virtual machine, automatic adjustment of the 
virtual machine's screen resolution, and efficient disk usage.</p></item>
+     <item><p>Ability to connect to virtual machines running on <link 
href="http://www.ovirt.org/Documentation";>oVirt</link>.</p></item>
+     <item><p>Many user interface improvements and additions, including pausing multiple virtual machines at 
the same time, improved multi-selection of virtual machies, additional options in the remote connection 
assistant, and support for changing the CD-ROM device/ISO from properties.</p></item>

+  </section>
+
+  <section id="documents">
+    <title><media type="image" src="figures/gnome-documents.png"/> Documents</title>
+    <p>The reading experience has been much improved for GNOME 3.8. The visual presentation of individual 
documents has been improved, and there is a new browsing interface which features page switching buttons and 
a navigation slider.</p>
+    <p>Documents also features inline editing for Google Documents, so that it is possible to edit directly 
from the Documents application rather than through a web browser.</p>

+    <p>Contacts has a number of user interface improvements for GNOME 3.8:</p>
+    <list>
+      <item><p>New contact details layout and editing mode.</p></item>
+        <item><p>The new selection mode provides a convenient way to remove or link multiple 
contacts.</p></item>
+        <item><p>All your contacts from different online sources are now displayed in the contacts 
list.</p></item>
+    </list>
+  </section>
+
+  <section id="preview-apps">
+    <title><media type="image" src="figures/applications-other.png"/> New application previews</title>
+    <p>With GNOME 3.8, a number of new applications are being previewed for the first time. Each of these 
applications has been designed to be consistent with other GNOME 3 applications. These initial releases are 
for testing and feedback, and the intention is that they will be developed into fully-fledged GNOME 
applications in the future.</p>
+    <p>Weather is a new application for viewing current weather conditions as well as forecasts for 
different locations.</p>
+    <p>A new notes application is being developed under the name of Bijeben. It has a simple yet effective 
design which allows you to group your notes using different colors.</p>

     <title>Activities Overview</title>
     <p>In addition to the new applications and search results view, the <gui>Activities Overview</gui> also 
has a substantially improved window selector. This uses space more efficiently, making window thumbnails much 
larger and easier to recognise. Window thumbnails are also scaled to reflect the size of the actual windows, 
again making recognition easier. These changes result in much more effective window switching.</p>

pointer is pressed against the screen edge. Only a determined push will cause the <gui>Message Tray</gui> to 
open. This enhancement avoids accidental triggers and is quicker and more immediate.</p>
+    <p>From GNOME 3.8, the <gui>Message Tray</gui> can also be opened and closed using the 
<keyseq><key>Super</key><key>M</key></keyseq> keyboard shortcut. This is really handy for quickly checking 
your outstanding messages and ongoing conversations.</p>
+    <p>The <keyseq><key>Super</key><key>N</key></keyseq> keyboard shortcut has been added, which expands and 
focuses a notification. You can use this to reply to chat notifications with just the keyboard.</p>

cycle. This makes searching for applications more reliable.</p></item>
