-    <p>Redesigned to follow GNOME 3 style. Allows you to browse the videos on your computer or from a 
collection of online video channels, including Rai.tv, The Guardian Videos, Blip.tv and Apple Movie Trailers. 
This can be easily extended to include other sources.</p>
-    <p>Refined playback view.</p>
-    <p>Pocket integration.</p>
+    <p>GNOME 3.12 includes a reimagined Videos application. Modern in style and execution, the new 
application allows you to browse videos that are on your computer, as well as surf online video channels, 
including Rai.tv, The Guardian Videos channel, Blip.tv and Apple Movie Trailers. These video channels can be 
easily extended, and we expect the list to grow in the future. Additionally, integration with the popular 
Pocket service allows you to access Videos that you have saved to watch later.</p>
+    <p>The new look Videos app also includes a redesigned playback view. This gives you a non-distracting 
and focused viewing experience, with floating controls that hide when you don't need them. Fullscreen 
playback has also been massively improved.</p>

-    <p>Software was introduced in the last GNOME release, version 3.10. Since then it has grown up in a 
serious way. Performance has been improved across the board. It has new features, including screenshots of 
applications, the ability to install invidual software packages, organising your applications into folders. 
The software updates experience has also been updated: you can now manually check for updates, and there is 
more flexibility about when and how you install updates.</p>
+    <p>GNOME's new Software installer application was first introduced six months ago, inversion 3.10. Since 
then it has grown up in a serious way. Performance has been improved across the board, so that common 
operations like browsing and searching for applications or installing and removing software are fast and 
responsive.</p>
+    <p>The new version includes a long list of new new features, including screenshots of applications, the 
ability to install software packages that have been downloaded, options to manually check for software 
updates, and controls for organizing your applications into folders.</p>

-    <p>Smaller changes, important though. Wired network status added, along with support for switching 
network profiles. Various subtle fixes to the visual theme: subtle changes to close buttons, pressed button 
states. New tabs. Header bars in dialogs. Updated symbolic icon theme. Performance improvements, including 
faster startup times and lower memory use. Animated window snapping highlight. Header bars have consistent 
heights. Crisper, better aligned arrows in the system status area. Updates to transitions and animations to 
make the experience smoother, more subtle but also more informative.</p>
+    <p>For 3.12 we have worked with our users to round out the GNOME 3 experience. An emphasis on filling in 
requested functionality has resulted in the best quality release to date. The release has a number of changes 
that have been asked for by users. Wired networking has been added to the top bar system status area. Another 
popular request in this release is the introduction of custom application folders, which allows you to 
manually organize the application launcher view. This release also contains a number of performance 
improvements, including faster startup times and lower memory usage.</p>
+    <p>There are also many smaller changes that result in a much more polished, high quality experience. The 
visual theme and icons have had a number of subtle changes, animations have been refined so they are more 
subtle and informative. Tabs and many dialogs have been restyled to give them a consistent and more beautiful 
appearance.</p>

     <title>Improved High Resolution Display Support</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png" style="floatright" />
-    <p>High resolution display support was first introduced last release in 3.10. This covered much GNOME 3, 
but was less than ideal in some places. Since high-res display support has been extended.</p>
+    <p>High resolution display support was first introduced last release in 3.10. This provided 
high-resolution display support for much GNOME 3, but a number of key areas were unaddressed (in particular 
the Activities Overview, top bar, lock screen and system dialogs). Since then, high-resolution display 
support has been extended to include all aspects of the core experience, meaning that GNOME now has the best 
level of high-resolution display support of any Free Software desktop.</p>
