<p>Builder has made significant progress for 3.24, with a number of major new features. It has enhanced
support for a range of build systems, including Flatpak, CMake, Meson and Rust. This is thanks to a new <link
href="https://blogs.gnome.org/chergert/2017/02/17/builders-build-pipeline/">new build pipeline
architecture</link>, which allows different build systems to be more easily supported.</p>
<p>Additionally, it is now possible to install and update SDKs and toolchains directly from builder,
either for Flatpak and Rust. Clicking a few buttons is all it takes to set up a development environment.</p>

<p>Flatpak support has had a significant amount of polish since last release, making it far more
reliable and thoroughly integrated. This means it is now possible to seamlessly clone and build many GNOME
applications using Flatpak, all from within Builder. This avoids the need to manually build lots of
dependencies with JHBuild, and makes it easy to get started.</p>

<p>While Flatpak is an independent upstream project, the GNOME project is actively promoting its use as
a part of its developer experience. Since the 3.22 release, Flatpak has made significant progress. There have
been a total of seven Flatpak releases since then, which have introduced a host of major new features and
improvements.</p>
