       <p>Builder's 3.28 release includes some handy new features, important refinements, and significant 
reliability improvements.</p>
-      <p>The navigation sidebar has had a number of improvements. The file tree is not monitored in real 
time, so that changes are immediately reflected in the sidebar. It is also possible to drag and drop files in 
the sidebar, in order to move them (it's also possible to drag files on to the editor to open them). Finally, 
Git status is shown in the sidebar, so it's easy to see which files have been changed.</p>
-      <p>Builder's Flatpak support has also been improved for 3.28. Progress feedback is now shown when 
building, SDK extensions are now supported, and flatpak-builder is bundled as part of the Builder flatpak, so 
that it doesn't need to be separately installed.</p>
