-    <p><link href="https://flatpak.org/";>Flatpak</link> is a cross-distribution,
-    cross-desktop technology for application building and distribution. While it
-    is separate from the GNOME project, Flatpak is central to GNOME’s developer
-    experience plans.</p>
-    <p>During this release cycle, the Flatpak team released a new stable series:
-    1.4.x. This introduced an improved system-wide installation mechanism,
-    resulting in better I/O performance and a more secure installation process.</p>
-    <p>Additionally, preconfigured remotes now use regular <code>.flatpakrepo</code> files
-    instead of custom <code>.conf</code> files. This streamlines the process for preconfigured
-    remotes; they are now identical to manually added remotes.</p>
-    <p><link href="https://flathub.org/";>Flathub</link>, a Flatpak application
-    distribution service, is growing steadily. It now hosts over 600 applications.</p>

-    <p><app>Builder</app>, a GNOME IDE, continues to add new features. This release,
-    it gained a number of useful features.</p>
-    <p>The development environment now features an integrated D-Bus inspector. This inspector
-    can be opened via the <em>Switch Surface</em> button (in the top left corner
-    of the project window).</p>
-    <p><app>Builder</app> can run a program in a container via <code>podman</code> as
-    long as <code>podman</code> supports the <code>--preserve-fds</code> <em>exec</em> flag.
-    The program can be debugged if the container includes <code>gdb</code>.</p>
-    <p>Git integration has been moved to an out-of-process <code>gnome-builder-git</code>
-    daemon. The daemon can be communicated with via D-Bus and will soon support
-    operations like pushing, staging and committing.</p>

-    saw significant development this release. In order to streamline and simplify
-    the performance profiling process for developers, <app>Sysprof</app> has been
-    integrated with a number of core platform libraries, including GJS, GTK, and
-    Mutter.</p>
-    <p>More data sources have been added too, including an energy usage monitor.

-    <title>Pango</title>
-    <p>The <em>Pango</em> font rendering library introduced a few new features
-    that make rendering text easier.</p>
-    <p>Developers now have more advanced control over their text rendering options.
-    Automatic hyphenation, line-spacing and subpixel positioning can be enabled
-    or disabled as desired. Rendering spaces and other “invisible” characters can
-    be enabled as well. And finally, direct access to the underlying <code>hb_font_t</code>
-    is available by calling <code>pango_font_get_hb_font</code>.</p>

-    <title>Custom Icon Folders</title>
-    <media type="image" width="940" src="figures/icon-grid-drag.png"/>
-    <p>In GNOME &gnomeversion;, icons in the application overview can be grouped
-    together into folders. Drag an icon on top of another to create a group.
-    Removing all icons from a group will automatically remove the group too. This
-    makes organizing applications much easier and keeps the application overview
-    clutter-free.</p>
-    <p>The overview visual style was refined as well, including the search entry
-    field, the login password field and the overview window highlight border. All
-    these changes give the GNOME desktop an improved overall experience.</p>

-    <media type="image" width="940" src="figures/pinned-tabs.png"/>
-    <p>In <app>Web</app>, the GNOME web browser, web processes are now sandboxed.
-    This restriction limits web process access to only locations necessary to run a
-    web browser.</p>
-    <p>This release also introduces tab pinning. Favorite tabs can be “pinned”,
-    saving them in the tab list and persisting them across sessions.</p>
-    <p>The ad blocking feature has been updated to use WebKit content filters. This
-    results in a large performance improvement over the previous ad block implementation.</p>

-    <p><app>Boxes</app>, the GNOME virtual and remote machine manager, received
-    a number of improvements this release as well.</p>
-    <p>The <em>New Box Assistant</em> workflow has been improved to be more intuitive.
-    Separate dialogs are used when adding a remote connection or external broker.
-    When creating a new local virtual machine, the source selection is split into
-    three sections: <em>Detected Sources</em>, <em>Featured Downloads</em>, and
-    <em>Select a Source</em>.</p>
-    <p>The Windows Express Install now uses a CD-ROM ISO image instead of a 1.44″
-    floppy disk image. This drops legacy dependencies and sets up Express Install
-    support for versions.</p>
-    <p>Existing virtual machines can now explicitly be booted from an attached
-    CD/DVD image. This enables users to rescue a broken system or simulate dual-booting
-    environments.</p>
-    <p>On machines that support it, 3D acceleration is now an optional setting
-    in the machine properties. This enables users to opt out of 3D acceleration
-    whenever they want, or enable it only when necessary.</p>

-    <p>A major rewrite of the core components landed this release cycle, resulting
-    in, among other things, gapless playback. Many albums are intended to be
-    listened to as a whole and splitting it up into tracks breaks that playback.
-    Gapless playback now enables those albums to be listened to as they were
