<p>GNOME's new <app>Software</app> application was first introduced six months ago, in version
&lastversion;. Since then it has grown up in a serious way. Performance has been improved across the board,
so that common operations like browsing, searching and installing are fast and responsive. The new version
also includes a long list of new features, including:</p>
<list>
- <item><p>Screenshots of applications you might want to install. Most applications now have these, are
new screenshots are being added every day.</p></item>
- <item><p>An automatic system which gives personalized star ratings for each application.</p></item>

<item><p>The ability to install individual software packages, such as those that you have
downloaded.</p></item>
<item><p>Packages containing software repositories can be installed, and you can now review and remove
third party repositories that are in use.</p></item>
</list>
- <p>Checking for and installing software updates experience has also been improved for &gnomeversion;. It
is now possible to choose to have your computer power off after updates have been installed, and you can

<title>Rounding Things Out</title>
<media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
- <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>
