can be zoomed and swiped in <app>Evince</app>, and images can be zoomed, rotated and swiped in <app>Eye of 
GNOME</app>. More applications are expected to start introducing these touchscreen gestures in the future. 
The behaviour of the on-screen keyboard has also been improved for &gnomeversion;.</p>

-Multi-windows: Allow running boxes in their own seperate windows.
-Enable express installation for Debian through latest (>= 0.2.11) libosinfo.
-Downloading: Enter an HTTP(S) URL to a remote media in wizard and Boxes will download it for you.
-Allow editting the box's name through the title in properties view.
-More keyboard shortcuts:
-Ctrl+N for launching wizard.
-Ctrl+F for launching search.
-F1 for help.
-Remove 'New' entry from global menu. It's context-sensitive and therefore does not belong there.
-Don't auto-fullscreen Boxes on launch.
-Don't reveal fullscreen topbar on pointer over edges to not interfere with user trying to reach WM 
decorations or apply edge gestures (as used in many modern operating systems) in the guest.
-Don't show WM decorations in fullscreen. This is especially ugly in classic-mode where we have 3 buttons.
-Drop weird and buggy custom thumbnail hilighting and enable it from gtk+.
-Replace hardcoded colors and background images with theme colors.
-Don't ignore CDROM devices.
-Better error message on failure to start a VM.
+<p>&gnomeversion; is a big release for <app>Boxes</app>, the GNOME application for virtual and remote 
machines. This version introduces snapshots, which allows you to save the state of a virtual machine at a 
particular moment in time. You can then revert to that state later. This is particularly useful for returning 
to a known working state.</p>
+
+<p>Automatic downloading is another useful feature in &gnomeversion;: just give <app>Boxes</app> the URL to 
an install image, and it will automatically download and install it for you.</p>
+
+<p>This version of Boxes includes many other smaller improvements, such as the abitily to run multiple boxes 
in their own separate windows, express installation for Debian, user interface improvements, and new keyboard 
shortcuts.</p>
