<title>What's new for developers, system administrators and distributors</title>
- <p>GNOME 3.10 introduces a number of new features and enhancements for those working with GNOME
technologies.</p>
-
- <section id="wayland">
- <title>Wayland</title>
- <p>With GNOME 3.10, it is possible to run a GNOME session as well as GNOME applications using Wayland.
This support is experimental and is intended for testing purposes only. <cmd>gnome-shell</cmd> or
applications running on Wayland may be unstable and could crash.</p>
- <p>To run <cmd>gnome-shell</cmd> under Wayland, execute the following command in a terminal:</p>
- <p><cmd>gnome-session --session=gnome-wayland</cmd></p>
- <p>It is also possible to run individual applications on Wayland by specifying the
<cmd>GDK_BACKEND</cmd>. Run the following command, substituting <input>application-name</input> for the name
of the application's executable:</p>
- <p><cmd>GDK_BACKEND=wayland <input>application-name</input></cmd></p>
- <p>If an application fails to run on Wayland, it will try to fall back to X11.</p>
- <p>Further details about GNOME on Wayland can be found on the <link
href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Wayland";>GNOME Wayland wiki page</link>.</p>

- <section id="new-widgets">
- <title>New GTK+ Widgets</title>
- <p>GTK+ 3.10 introduces a collection of new interface widgets. These provide additional abilities, such
as adding animated transitions, as well as greater flexibility. In some cases they provide easy-to-use
alternatives to existing widgets. The new widgets have been created in line with the latest GNOME 3
application designs.</p>
- <list>
- <item><p><code href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.10/GtkStack.html";>GtkStack</code>: a container
which shows one child at a time. Transitions between pages can be animated as slides or fades.</p></item>
- <item><p><code
href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.10/GtkStackSwitcher.html";>GtkStackSwitcher</code>: a set of linked
buttons that can be used to control which page is displayed in a stack. Designed to be used in conjunction
with <code>GtkStack</code>.</p></item>
- <item><p><code href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.10/GtkRevealer.html";>GtkRevealer</code>: a
container which animates the transition of its child from invisible to visible.</p></item>
- <item><p><code href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.10/GtkListBox.html";>GtkListBox</code>: a
vertical container. Rows can be dynamically sorted and filtered, and navigation is possible using pointer or
keyboard. <code>GtkListBox</code> provides an alternative to <code
href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.10/GtkTreeView.html";>GtkTreeView</code>. Rows can contain controls
and complex layouts.</p></item>
- <item><p><code href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.10/GtkHeaderBar.html";>GtkHeaderBar</code>: a
horizontal container that should be placed at the top of a window. <code>GtkHeaderBars</code> play the role
of both window titlebar and a toolbar. Content within a <code>HeaderBar</code> can be placed at the start or
end, or it can be centered.</p></item>
- <item><p><code href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.10/GtkSearchBar.html";>GtkSearchBar</code>: a
container which is designed to contain search controls. <code>GtkSearchBars</code> are generally located
below a <code>GtkHeaderBar</code>, and can be hidden and revealed on demand.</p></item>
- </list>

- <section id="composite-widget-templates">
- <title>Composite Widget Templates</title>
- <p>Composite widget templates are a new feature in GTK+ 3.10. The new feature allows composite widgets
to be defined using XML, which avoids the need to construct them manually. GTK+ is already taking advantage
of this feature to define its own composite widgets, such as <code>GtkVolumeButton</code> and
<code>GtkFileChooserDefault</code>. Application authors can use the same capability to make their own, which
can be done by directly with XML or with the <app>Glade</app> interface builder.</p>
- <p>Tristan Van Berkom has written a <link
href="http://blogs.gnome.org/tvb/2013/04/09/announcing-composite-widget-templates/";>detailed blog post about
this new feature</link>, which includes a tutorial and a working example that you can try.</p>
- </section>
-
- <section id="baseline-support">
- <title>Baseline Alignment in GTK+</title>
- <p>GTK+ 3.10 introduces baseline alignment for text. This allows text labels to be properly vertically
aligned in relation to containers, which has the added advantage of ensuring consistent text alignment.</p>
- <p>Base line alignment is available for a range of common widgets. Developers wanting to use it are
required to set the vertical alignment for the text widget to <code>GTK_ALIGNMENT_BASELINE</code> (this is
done automatically when using helper functions such as <code>new_from_label()</code>).</p>
- </section>
-
- <section id="glib">
- <title>GLib</title>
- <p>GApplication has gained a number of new features for GNOME 3.10:</p>
- <list>
- <item><p>Support for the <code>org.freedesktop.Application</code> interface (which was specified at
the freedesktop.org summit in April 2013) has been added. This provides a standard way to start an
application. It also allows a file to be opened with an application or a named action to be activated. More
information can be found in the <link
href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#dbus";>Freedesktop
Specification</link>.</p></item>
- <item><p><code>.desktop</code> files can now specify if an application should be started via D-Bus
activation. Details on how to do this can be found <link
href="https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/DBusApplicationLaunching";>on the wiki</link>.</p></item>
- <item><p>Support for actions in <code>.desktop</code> files has been added to
<code>GDesktopAppInfo</code>, using <code><link
href="https://developer.gnome.org/gio/2.38/gio-Desktop-file-based-GAppInfo.html#g-desktop-app-info-list-actions";>g_desktop_app_info_list_actions()</link></code>
and <code><link
href="https://developer.gnome.org/gio/2.38/gio-Desktop-file-based-GAppInfo.html#g-desktop-app-info-launch-action";>g_desktop_app_info_launch_action()</link></code>.
The Freedesktop Specification also has <link
href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#extra-actions";>details
on this</link>.
- </p></item>
- <item><p><code>GApplication</code> now allows applications to signal their busy state to a desktop
shell, such as for a long-running operation or loading state.</p></item>
- </list>
- <p>GLib has a number of other enhancements in 3.10:</p>
- <list>
- <item><p>Tests can now generate TAP output, which allows easier integration with other test harnesses.
To run your tests in this mode, specify <cmd>--tap</cmd> on the command line.</p></item>
- <item><p>There is now some support for installed tests.</p></item>
- <item><p><code>GPropertyAction</code> is a new type of <code>GAction</code> that represents a property
of an object, and allows the value to change when activated. This makes it very easy to integrate properties
into <code>GMenus</code>.</p></item>
- </list>
- </section>
-
- <section id="geolocation">
- <title>Geolocation</title>
- <p>The new geolocation abilities in GNOME 3.10 allow applications to access information on places and to
identify the current location of the system. To do this, two new components have been introduced:</p>
- <list>
- <item><p><link href="https://developer.gnome.org/geocode-glib/index.html";>geocode-glib</link>: a new
library for (reverse) geocoding. This allows you to find information on places according to search terms or
coordinates. It relies on the <link href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim";>Nominatim</link>
service from OpenStreetMap.</p></item>
- <item><p><link href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/geoclue/docs/";>GeoClue2</link>: a re-written
GeoClue implementation designed for simplicity and privacy. This allows you to identify the current
location.</p></item>

- <title>Integrated System Status</title>
- <p>GNOME &gnomeversion; features a new, redesigned system status area. In previous versions, the system
status area was made up of a series of menus in the corner of the top bar. The new system status area
replaces this with a single menu. This allows you to quickly get an overview of the state of your device, and
provides 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 airplane mode.</p>

- <p>GNOME 3.10 includes numerous other new features and enhancements. Here are some of the other
improvements that can be found in the latest version.</p>
-
- <section id="app-view">
- <title>Paginated Application View</title>
- <p>The application launching view now has pages rather than being scrolled, and has many other layout
and animation improvements. Pages make it easier to find the application you are looking for, and integrates
application folders much more effectively. A lot of time has been spent making this part of GNOME 3 look and
feel great.</p>

- </section>
-
- <section id="lock-screen">
- <title>Customize Your Lock Screen</title>
- <p>From 3.10, it is possible to set a different image for your lock screen. This gives greater scope for
personalization, and helps to differentiate the lock screen from your session. The lock screen image can be
changed from the <app>Background Settings</app>.</p>
- <media type="image" src="figures/lock-screen.png"/>
- </section>
-
- <section id="scrolling">
- <title>Fine Scrolling</title>
- <p>Scroll bars in GNOME now feature a new mode that allows fine scrolling. This allows precise movements
over small distances, and is particularly useful if the scrolled area is very large. To activate fine
scrolling, just click and hold on a scroll bar handle, or click on the handle while holding
<key>Shift</key>.</p>
- <media type="image" src="figures/fine-scrolling.png"/>
- </section>
-
- <section id="settings">
- <title>Settings</title>
- <p>A number of areas in <app>Settings</app> have been enhanced for GNOME 3.10.</p>
- <list>
- <item><p><gui>Date & Time</gui>: these have been overhauled to make them easier to use, and now
have a bigger, better looking time zone map and clearer options. A new <gui>Automatic Time Zone</gui> option
is provided, which uses the new geolocation framework which has been introduced in 3.10.</p></item>
- <item><p><gui>Displays</gui>: the <gui>Displays</gui> section has been completely redesigned, making
configuration much easier.</p></item>
- <item><p><gui>Online Accounts</gui>: chat accounts have now been integrated into <gui>Online
Accounts</gui>, which means that you can now access all your accounts in one place. You can now log into your
Google account using <link href="https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/180744";>two-step
verification</link>, and <gui>Online Accounts</gui> now includes Flickr.</p></item>
- <item><p><gui>Universal Access</gui>: the different <gui>Universal Access</gui> sections have been
redesigned and combined into a single page. This makes it easier to find the settings you are looking
for.</p></item>
- <item><p><gui>Background</gui>: in addition to the new lock screen background feature, it is now also
possible to select backgrounds from Flickr accounts.</p></item>
- </list>
- <media type="image" src="figures/time-and-date.png"/>
- </section>
-
- <section id="cantarell">
- <title>More Beautiful, Legible Text</title>
- <p>Cantarell, the GNOME font, has had a big update for 3.10. Glyph coverage has been extended so that
more languages are supported, and the shape and spacing of existing letters has been improved. The result is
a more beautiful interface font that is easier to read.</p>
- <media type="image" its:translate="no" src="figures/font-improvements.png"/>
- </section>
-
- <section id="high-dpi">
- <title>High-Resolution Display Support</title>
- <p>High-resolution displays (also known as high-density displays) are becoming increasingly common.
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 would 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</link> by Brion Vibber and Intel's <link
href="https://01.org/";>Open Source Technology Center (OTC)</link>.</p>
- <media type="image" src="figures/high-dpi.png"/>
- </section>
-
- <section id="smart-cards">
- <title>Smart Card Support</title>
- <p>Smart cards are now supported as an alternate way to log in and unlock. Primarily of interest to
enterprise GNOME deployments, smart cards can be configured as the primary authentication method (and
password access can be disabled). It is also possible to configure whether removing a smart card locks the
device or logs the user out.</p>
- <media type="image" src="figures/smart-cards.png"/>
- </section>
-
- <section id="magnifier-focus-caret-tracking">
- <title>Magnifier Focus and Caret Tracking</title>
- <p>Magnifier users can enjoy a more effective experience with the addition of caret and focus tracking.
With this improvement, the magnifier will move to keep focused widgets and the text entry caret in view. This
makes it much easier to type and navigate using the keyboard while using the magnifier.</p>
- <media type="image" src="figures/magnifier.png"/>
- </section>
-
- <section id="core-ux-other">
- <title>Other Improvements</title>
- <p>There are many other smaller enhancements to the core user experience for 3.10. These include:</p>
- <list>
- <item><p>An improved login screen, with a better layout and nicer transitions.</p></item>
- <item><p>Baseline alignment of text labels, resulting in more evenly and consistently aligned
text.</p></item>
- <item><p>A keyboard navigable drop-down calendar, and sliders in the system status menu that can be
used with the <app>Orca</app> screen reader.</p></item>
- <item><p>Better looking lock screen notifications.</p></item>
- <item><p>A screen reader can be turned on or off at any time by pressing
<keyseq><key>Super</key><key>Alt</key><key>S</key></keyseq>.</p></item>
- <item><p>Web applications now have header bars with some useful controls for navigation.</p></item>
- <item><p>Consolidated log out and power off dialogs, which now incorporate warnings about other logged
in users or busy applications (these warnings were previously included in a separate set of dialog
windows).</p></item>
- <item><p>A new default background.</p></item>
