   <title>Introducing GNOME &gnomeversion;</title>
 
-GNOME 41 is the product of 6 months' work by the GNOME project. It includes a number of significant 
improvements and new features, as well as a large collection of smaller enhancements.
-
-The most notable changes this release include the revamped Software app, new multitasking settings, and 
enhanced power management features. With these changes, GNOME is smarter, more flexible, and offers a richer 
and more engaging experience than ever before.
-
-GNOME 41 also comes with significant improvements for developers, including a new developer documentation 
website, a major new version of the Human Interface Guidelines, new features in the Builder IDE, GTK 4 
enhancements, and much more.
-
-GNOME 41 is the second release to use GNOME's new version numbering schema, which has replaced the old 
odd/even point release approach with a simpler, single integer. The next release, version 42, is planned for 
March 2022.

-## What's new for users
-
-### Overhauled Software install experience
-
-GNOME's Software app has been given an overhaul for GNOME 41. It's now easier to browse available apps, 
thanks to the inclusion of descriptions in app tiles, as well as a new, smaller set of application 
categories. Application pages also have a new design, with bigger screenshots and new information tiles with 
information about each app.
-
-Almost every part of the application has been polished or improved in some way. This includes redesigned 
settings, more attractive layouts in the installed and updates view, enhanced OS upgrade banners, and much 
much more.
-
-The changes aren't skin deep, either: there have been many fixes and improvements under the hood, to make 
the experience faster and more reliable. 
-
-### New multitasking settings
-
-GNOME 41 includes a new Multitasking settings panel, which includes common settings related to window 
switching, workspaces and displays. The settings make it possible to:
-
- - disable the activities hot corner
- - disable "active screen edges" (resizing a window by dragging it against the screen edge)
- - switch from a dynamic to a static number of workspaces
- - include workspaces on all displays and not just the primary display
- - when switching between apps using Super+Tab, only switch between apps on the current workspace
-
-These settings make it possible to adjust GNOME to your preferred way of working, as well as to particular 
hardware setups.
-
-### Enhanced power management features
-
-Power profiles were originally introduced in GNOME last release, version 40. They provide three modes which 
can be used to control device performance and power consumption:
-
- - Balanced, which is the default mode. This provides a standard performance and power consumption.
- - Performance, in which CPU performance is increased, so that many apps and activities will run faster, 
with greater power consumption.
- - Power saver, which both makes the device run a little slower, and saves power.
-
-From GNOME 40 it has been possible to switch between these power profiles from the power settings.
-
-With GNOME 41, power modes have been improved. It is now possible to view and change the power mode from the 
system status menu in the top bar. Low power mode has also been enhanced: when it is active, the screen will 
now dim after short periods of inactivity and, when the screen fades prior to suspend, it does so more 
quickly.
-
-Power saver mode is now also automatically enabled when running on low battery (this behavior can be 
controlled from the power settings).
-
-Initial support has been added to allow apps to request a power profile. This is most relevant for allowing 
performance sensitive apps to request performance mode, to ensure fast operation.
-
-
-### New Connections app
-
-Connections is GNOME's new remote desktop client. It provides a modern, easy to use experience for 
connecting to other desktops, and automatically handles as much of the complexity for you as possible. VNC 
and RDP connections are both supported.

- - Efficiency improvements in GNOME 41 mean that the screen will update faster in response to keyboard and 
pointer input. This change only applies to those using the Wayland display server, and the effects will be 
more noticeable with some displays rather than others (the improvement is more significant on displays with 
lower refresh rates).
- - System-level multitouch gestures now behave more reliably and consistenty.
- - The transition when switching between workspaces is now more seamless, thanks to ensuring that there is a 
focused window on the workspaces that are being moved between.
- - Rendering has been improved GTK 4, with better performance as well as bug fixes.
- - Finally, a major code cleanup has happened in Mutter, GNOME's window manager, which will improve 
long-term maintainability and efficiency.
