     <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>

it has only been possible to use them with a touchscreen. Now, in &gnomeversion;, these gestures can also be 
used touchpads.</p>

applications. It is also possible to switch workspace using four-finger vertical drags. Additional gestures

-    <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 
resolved (thanks to kinetic scrolling now being handled by GTK+ itself).</p>

that location.</p></item>

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

direction.</p></item>
