     <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>

more languages are supported, and the shape and spacing of existing letters has been improved. The result is 
a more beautiful interface font which is easier to read.</p>

     <title>High Resolution Display Support</title>
-    <p>TO DO</p>
+    <p>Screens with high resolutions/densities are becoming increasingly common. In order to be usable on 
these displays, it is necesarry to scale graphical interfaces to match. GNOME 3.10 introduces support for 
these types of displays, and will now automatically scale what is displayed on the screen to compensate for 
increased display density. This ensures that controls and content appear at the correct size, and that 
interfaces are usable. This work could not have been possible without <link 
href="http://www.gnome.org/news/2013/07/gnome-receives-hardware-donations-to-assist-with-high-definition-support/";>the
 generous donation of high-density display laptops to the GNOME Foundation by Brion Vibber and 
Intel</link>.</p>
