     <title>Themable Icons and Assets</title>
-    <p>GTK+'s CSS support has continued to expand with 3.14, and now features closer integration with icon 
themes and SVG assets. Icons from the icon theme can be called directly from CSS, and SVG assets can be used 
to style spinners, arrows, checkmarks, radiomarks and expanders. This can be used to integrate a GTK+ theme 
with an icon theme for a consistent look and feel.</p>

       <item><p>System search has become even more useful, with the addition of search providers from 
<app>Calculator</app> and <app>Clocks</app>. This allows you to find the time for a city or perform 
calculations directly from the search box.</p></item>

placed on. This is particularly useful for laptops with docking stations.</p></item>
+      <item><p>GNOME's geolocation framework has been improved, by using <link 
href="https://location.services.mozilla.com/";>Mozilla's Location Service</link> for 3G and network-based 
positioning. This results in increased accuracy, which will continue to improve in the future.</p></item>
