<p>GNOME &gnomeversion; comes with improved support for Wi-Fi hotspots. When connecting to a Wi-Fi portal
that requires authentication, GNOME will now automatically show the login page as a part of the connection
process. This ensures that you always know when you are connected, and helps you to get set up as quickly as
possible.</p>
