     <p>Builder has made significant progress for 3.24, with a number of major new features. This includes 
enhanced support for a range of build systems, including Flatpak, CMake, Meson and Rust. This has been 
enabled by a new <link href="https://blogs.gnome.org/chergert/2017/02/17/builders-build-pipeline/";>build 
pipeline architecture</link>, which allows different build systems to be more easily supported.</p>
     <p>Clicking a few buttons is all it takes to set up a development environment in 3.24, thanks to the 
ability to install and update SDKs and toolchains directly from Builder (either for Flatpak or Rust).</p>
     <p><link href="http://valgrind.org/";>Valgrind</link> integration makes it easy to profile your project. 
If Valgrind is available (as it always is with a Flatpak SDK), it is available from the run menu — just 
select it to run your project with it.</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 is a major step forward for the GNOME developer 
experience, and avoids the need to manually build a fragile dependency chain with JHBuild.</p>
