     <title>Software</title>
     <p>GNOME &gnomeversion; includes a brand new application for finding and installing applications and for 
updating your software. Called <app>Software</app>, in provides an integrated place to do all your software 
related tasks, like browsing, installing and removing applications, and viewing and installing software 
updates. We have lots of plans for the future of <app>Software</app>, including user ratings and comments for 
applications and screenshots of applications that you might want to install.</p>

+    <title>Geolocation</title>
+    <p>A new geolocation framework has been created for GNOME &gnomeversion;. Called geoclue2, this allows 
your location to be automatically determined using various data sources, including IP address, Wi-Fi and GPS. 
This new facility is being used in a number of places. A new <gui>Automatic Time Zone</gui> setting makes 
your device's clock update when you move to different time zones, for example. When displaying world times, 
<app>Clocks</app> will automatically show a clock for your current location. GNOME &gnomeversion; also 
introduces a new maps application, which is able to automatically detect where you are and show a map of your 
location.</p>

href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/";>OpenStreetMap</link> data, which is contributed to by hundreds of 
thousands of people across the globe, it allows you to browse street maps and satelitte images. 
<app>Maps</app> allows you to search for the names of towns, cities and landmarks, or for places of interest 
such as "cafes near Main Street, Boston" or "Hotels in New York".</p>
