- <p>GNOME &gnomeversion; features a new, redesigned system status area. In previous versions, the system

replaces this with a single menu. This allows you to quickly see an overview of the state of your device, and
gives a more focused top bar which only displays information that you care about. Among many improvements,
the new menu provides easier mouse interaction, privacy enhancements, a new screen brightness slider, and a
better aeroplane mode.</p>

and focus tracking feature. With this new feature, the magnifier no longer tracks only the mouse but it can
also track the focus the and the caret, so it becomes much easier to type and navigate using the keyboard
whilst under the magnified view. For time constraints, it has not been possible to integrate, in this
release, a proper user interface in the Universal Access settings to turn this feature on, so users need to
use the DConf editor or the command line GSettings to turn it on.</p>
