+ <p>GNOME &gnomeversion; is the latest version of GNOME 3, and is the result
+ 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
+ release incorporates &gitcommits; changes, made by approximately &gitauthors;
+ contributors.</p>
<section id="os-upgrades">
<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>
