<title>Multitouch Touchpad Gestures</title>
<media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
- <p>Multitouch gestures, such as pinch to zoom, or four-finger drag, were first introduced in GNOME 3.14.
However, this was for touchscreens only. Now, in &gnomeversion;, these gestures can also be used touchpads.
Initial gestures include pinch to zoom and rotate in Evince and Eye of GNOME, and four-finger swipe to switch
workspace. Additional gestures are planned for the future.</p>
+ <p>Multitouch gestures, such as pinch to zoom or rotate, were first introduced in GNOME 3.14. However,
it has only been possible to use them with a touchscreen. Now, in &gnomeversion;, these gestures can also be
used touchpads.</p>
+ <p>Possible gestures include using two fingers to zoom or rotate in the image and document viewer
applications. It is also possible to switch workspace using four-finger vertical drags. Additional gestures
are planned for the future.</p>

- <p>The ability to select, cut, copy and paste text using a touchscreen has been dramatically improved in
&gnomeversion;. The handles used to adjust text selections have been made bigger and their look has been
improved. New popovers provide convenient access to actions, like cut, copy and paste. Behavior has been
improved, too: now, a single tap selects a word, and a second tap shows the actions popover.</p>

<title>A Better Polari</title>
<media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
- <p>Polari, GNOME’s IRC application, has had a number of refinements for &gnomeversion;. Paste service
integration has been added, so that it is easy to share large blocks of text. Simply paste the text you want
to share into the chat entry box, and Polari will paste it online and send a link to the channel.</p>
- <p>Other improvements include a better first run experience, which now guides users through the process
of creating connections, improved feedback for connection errors, as well as many bug fixes and visual
enhancements.</p>

movement has inertia, and feels physical) has not worked with your touchpad recently, this has now been

that location.</p></item>

page at a time.</p></item>

direction.</p></item>
