+    <title>Integrated Media Controls</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>With GNOME 3.20, media controls — which was previously only possible
+    with GNOME Shell extensions— are now built-in and displayed in the
+    notification/clock area. This provides a way to quickly access the controls
+    of media application (music or video) that is currently in use. It can even
+    show multiple applications at the same time.</p>
+    <p>The panel allows previous, play/pause and next options on a track, and
+    it also shows the name of the currently playing track and the artist. This
+    new feature integrates with a large range of music players, using the
+    common MPRIS standard.</p>

     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>Now you can see what other users think about an application you are
+    considering installing.</p>
+    <p>Software Reviews enables you to browse for reviews, or you can write
+    your own reviews for applications you've used. Software automatically
+    prioritizes the display of most useful reviews, while star ratings are
+    shown to help you get an idea of ratings at a glance.</p>
+    <p>You can also let other users know which reviews you've found to be the
+    most useful by rating them up.</p>

   <section id="cantarell">
     <title>Improved Font</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>Cantarell – the default GNOME font – has had lots of improvements for
+    3.20, mostly themed around linguistic coverage expansion. For starters, the
+    font now covers most of Adobe Latin 4 and Adobe Cyrillic 2 character set
+    with support for Vietnamese sorted out, as well as some miscellaneous
+    glyphs from the character sets. Superscripts, monetary, some fractions and
+    a few miscellaneous glyphs are still missing for a complete Adobe Latin 4
+    support whereas Adobe Cyrillic 2 is only missing two monetary signs. There
+    is also a handful more glyphs still missing from Adobe Cyrillic 3
+    support.</p>
+    <p>A number of glyphs designed in Cambay, a Cantarell-derived Devanagari
+    typeface, have also been imported back into Cantarell to enhance support
+    for Devanagari.</p>
+    <p>Another improvement worth highlighting is the addition of the German
+    capital sharp s.</p>
+    <p>Some glyphs also received a face-lift like the Icelandic special glyphs
+    and ligatures which are now better spaced, and the Cyrillic glyphs which
+    are finally ready and render consistently.</p>
+    <p>Overall, you might also notice a far better appearance with letters
+    looking more harmonious and consistent at all sizes.</p>

   <section id="mouse-and-touchpad">
     <title>Redesigned Mouse and Touchpad Settings</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>The mouse and touchpad interface has been overhauled to make a cleaner,
+    more stylish look. You can quickly locate the settings that are relevant to
+    you: for instance, the touchpad settings will only be displayed if you have
+    a touchpad.</p>
+    <p>More explanation for settings are also provided like natural scrolling
+    and primary button. Notably, the double-click delay setting can now be
+    found under the universal access menu instead of the mouse and touchpad
+    panel.</p>

   <section id="maps">
     <title>Maps</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>The new version of Maps includes a collection of new features, as well
+    as smaller refinements.</p>
+    <list>
+      <item><p>Maps makes use of data provided by OpenStreetMap, which anyone
+      can contribute to. And with 3.20, it is now possible to add and edit
+      place information from Maps itself. Place popovers now include more
+      information, such as website addresses, phone numbers and whether
+      internet access is available. To show this information, they are now
+      expandable.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Custom layers can now be added using several file formats. This
+      can be used to add maps information from many sources, such as government
+      websites. You can also use it to display your own route data from mobile
+      devices or Google.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Directions were added to Maps for last release, version 3.18.
+      This has been expanded for 3.20, with the addition of printing for
+      directions can be printed. Print outs show map images along with
+      directions, for a clear set of route instructions.</p></item>
+      <item><p>With 3.20, it is now also possible to use Maps to generate map
+      images in PNG format. This can be useful for all kinds of application:
+      EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE.</p></item>
+    </list>
+    <p>Other smaller improvements in this release include:</p>
+    <list>
+      <item><p>The addition of a scale ruler to the map.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Maps now shows the last viewed location when started, so you
+      don't have to keep navigating back to the same place.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Maps is now able to open location links that use the 'geo:'
+      prefix.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Information about roundabout is now fully provided in directions.
+      </p></item>
+    </list>
+  </section>
+
+  <section id="location-services-privacy">
+    <title>Location Services Privacy Controls</title>
+    <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>Users now have control over which applications have access to the
+    location services data. The first time an application tries to access your
+    location, a dialog box will prompt you for permission before giving access.
+    </p>
+    <p>An indicator will be displayed in the top bar while location services is
+    active.</p>
+    <p>All the applications that have asked for access to location data are
+    listed in the Privacy settings and here, you can individually toggle them
+    too. The location services can be disabled completely with the click of the
+    disable button in the system menu.</p>

   <section id="nibbles">
     <title>Nibbles</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>This game has undergone a major transformation for this release,
+    unveiling new artwork with a fun, retro arcade style. In addition to a
+    "new game" start screen, there is also a new "scores" dialog, and lives are
+    now symbolized with little worm icons.</p>
