+  of 6 months’ hard work by the GNOME community. It contains major new
+  features, as well as many smaller improvements and bug fixes. In total, the

     <title>Operating System Upgrades</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>It has always been possible to update your system to minor versions
+    using Software. With 3.20, it is also possible to upgrade major versions.
+    This is the first time that GNOME has had this ability, and means that you
+    no longer need to do a new installation when the next version of your
+    distro comes out. This new feature is a major milestone in making
+    GNOME-based systems user friendly and accessible to all.</p>
+    <p>Upgrading your operating system is made as simple and as easy as
+    possible. A notification informs you when an upgrade is available, and
+    Software provides information about what the new upgrade. You get to choose
+    when the upgrade is downloaded, and progress information is provided.</p>

+  <section id="wayland">
+    <title>Wayland Ready</title>
+    <media type="image" src="figures/wayland.png"/>
+    <p>Wayland is the next generation technology for display and input on
+    GNU/Linux. It eliminates graphics glitches and long-standing bugs, and lays
+    the foundation for more secure applications. Wayland is also enables new
+    features, like multitouch touchpad gestures.</p>
+    <p>Work on making GNOME usable with Wayland has been going on for some
+    time, and a huge amount of effort has gone into this initiative for 3.20.
+    Features that have been completed for 3.20 include kinetic scrolling,
+    drag-and-drop, application startup notifications, middle-click paste and
+    more. For the majority of users, Wayland now provides a completely usable
+    day to day experience. To try it out, select GNOME on Wayland from the gear
+    menu on the login screen.</p>
+    <p>Features that are still currently missing from GNOME on Wayland includes
+    screen sharing and support Wacom graphics tablets.</p>

   <section id="shortcuts-windows">
     <title>Shortcuts Windows</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>Shortcuts windows are a new way to find out about shortcuts in GNOME
+    applications. Each window lists all the keyboard shortcuts and multitouch
+    gestures (such as for touchpads) for the app, along with their
+    corresponding functions. Groups and pages help with navigation, and search
+    allows you to find specific shortcuts you might be looking for.</p>
+
+    <p>Lots of GNOME applications have shortcut windows for 3.20, including
+    Files, Videos,  Photos, gedit,  Builder, Maps and many more. In each
+    application, the shortcut window can be opened from the application menu,
+    or using the <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>?</key></keyseq> or
+    <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>F1</key></keyseq> shortcut.</p>

   <section id="photo-editing">
     <title>Photo Editing</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>With 3.20, editing has arrived in Photos. The new editing controls are
+    simple and easy to use. They allow crop and rotate, color adjustment and
+    picture enhancement. A selection of artistic filters are also available to
+    apply. All editing is non-destructive, so your original photo is preserved,
+    and changes can be undone.</p>
+    <p>Editing is accompanied by a new export feature, that allows you to
+    generate copies of edited photos and share them. An option to export at a
+    reduced size is useful for uploads and emailing.</p>
+    <p>The latest Photos release also includes a collection of smaller bug
+    fixes and improvements.</p>

   <section id="polari">
     <title>Polari</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>3.20 has been a big release for Polari, GNOME's IRC application. The
+    online paste service feature that was introduced last release has been
+    substantially improved. In addition to being able to paste blocks of text
+    for sharing, it is also possible to paste images directly into chats, where
+    they are shared using Imgur. In addition, paste links no longer have to be
+    separate chat posts.</p>
+    <p>Adding servers and rooms has been much improved for 3.20, also. It is
+    now possible to pick the server you want from a built in list, rather than
+    having to enter the address manually. This is not only easier, but also
+    ensures that the most secure connection is automatically selected. Server
+    properties are now accessed from the sidebar, which is more convenient and
+    natural, and server passwords can now be used (this is especially useful
+    when using bouncers, like ZNC).</p>
+    <p>The new version of Polari also supports many more traditional IRC
+    features, like the /msg command, tab completion for IRC commands, and the
+    ability to open IRC links.</p>
+    <p>In addition to these features, there are a lot of smaller changes, such
+    as improved visuals and animations, smarter handling of status messages in
+    order to minimize noise in chatrooms, and additonal keyboard shortcuts (you
+    can check Polari's shortcut window for details).</p>
   </section>
 
   <section id="files">
     <title>Files</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>The Files application has had a lot of polish and refinement for 3.20.
+    Search has been a particular focus. The new version includes a new search
+    filters interface, which allows filtering search results by when you
+    changed or edited the files last, or the type of file that you are looking
+    for. It is vastly simpler and easier to use than the previous version.
+    Search has also been made more robust in general: performance issues have
+    been addressed, and the interface should be faster and more responsive.</p>
+    <p>Files also has a more compact, easier to understand preferences dialog
+    for 3.20. Settings have been added for showing permanent delete and create
+    symbolic link actions, as well as for how recursive search should behave
+    show action to create symbolic links, options for where recursive search
+    should be used.</p>
+    <p>Files' views have also been enhanced, with additional zoom levels
+    (including a smaller zoom level in icon view), and bigger thumbnails to
+    give a better view.</p>
+    <p>Finally, available and remaining space for drives is now displayed in
+    the other places view.</p>
