-    <p>For &gnomeversion; we have worked with our users to round out the GNOME 3 experience. An emphasis on 
filling in requested functionality has resulted in a number of changes, including the addition of wired 
networking to the system status area and the addition of user-configurable application folders. Many of the 
improvements to the software updates experience have also come about through dialog with users.</p>
-    <p>This release also includes many smaller changes that result in a much more polished, high quality 
experience. Dialogs are now displayed in the <gui>Activities Overview</gui>. The visual theme and icons have 
had many small updates, animations have been refined so they are more subtle and informative, and tabs and 
many dialogs have been restyled to give them a consistent and more beautiful appearance. &gnomeversion; also 
contains a number of performance improvements, including faster startup times and lower memory usage.</p>
