   • GNOME

   We’re shipping the very latest @gnome Web 43 which includes support for creating #WebApps which show in the applications menu. They can have their own settings including privacy controls and can even run in the background

     The ability to send feedback directly to developers, see development happen transparently, and receive fixes and new features as updates quickly is one of our greatest strengths over both proprietary platforms and traditional Linux distributions. The Feedback app is a critical component in beginning this loop, so this cycle we’ve brought some major improvements to it including instant launch times and you can now access the Feedback app directly from the applications menu

     During Initial setup, we now detect if you use the right mouse button for clicking and offer to switch to a #LeftHanded mouse button order. There’s also a new view that will appear if your device doesn’t have network access instructing you how to get connected.

     Mail now sports a more-modern, flatter design as a first step towards work on making it more responsive. The unified inbox now supports #Microsoft365 accounts. Tasks now has offline support for newly created task lists and it makes sure to synchronize your remote lists when the network becomes available again. Plus it now sends notifications when a task is due

     You can now choose to select folders with a single click instead of activating them in Files, Windows style. Quite a bit of work has gone into making sure multiple click modes are supported and working as expected. We’ve also spent extra attention dialing in the behavior of keyboard shortcuts, especially regarding copy/paste and selection shortcuts across different view modes and with different types of file selections.

     @elementary I have to say here, for actual music I quite enjoy the old design... Thankfully there's apps on the AppCenter well suited to replacing it!

     But I've got lots of other files I'd love this new design for! And it'd work better for downloads!

     For my uses, I want both the old & new designs together...

     We’ve rewritten Music from scratch with a more focused design! It's better for folks who need a fast way to preview audio files, as well as for folks that carefully curate their own music collection and don’t want to compete with an app for control of their library. It also has better support for reading track metadata such as album art, works with system-wide media controls, and can be tiled and resized to fit small and large displays.

     In elementary OS, settings are meant to make the operating system more #accessible to a wider range of people with various needs and ways of working. This release provides power profiles management, including a performance mode for devices that support it. Expect much improved battery life for mobile devices with Power Saver mode.

     We’ve added powerful features like the ability to set custom Terminal commands for each hotcorner and a redesign keyboard shortcuts settings makes it easier to disable shortcuts or revert them to defaults, as well as much better custom shortcut management. You can now also launch the Shortcuts app from the applications menu and we’ve added the option to open and close the Multitasking view using the Super key.

     Nearly all app icons have been redesigned to be based on a uniform tile shape with some elements overlaid or layered. The new design language for app icons feels more modern while still retaining the pixel-fitted charm you’re used to and allowing for playful expression. We hope this change in direction makes it simpler for app developers to create high quality app icons that feel like they fit in on elementary OS

     There’s now also an Icon Browser app available in #AppCenter where you can see all of the icons shipped with the elementary platform. You can search or view icons by category as well as see what sizes and styles an icon comes in and even get a quick code snippet to use in your app.

     Code has also been the focus of responsiveness efforts and can now be tiled even on tiny notebook displays. The first changes you might notice are the full-height project sidebar and the new elementary light and dark styles for the source view. Code now also optionally follows the system-wide dark style preference. Both Find on Page and Find in Project now support regular expressions. Options for hiding and showing panels are now all present in a compact set of linked buttons in the app’s menu

     • Fedora Project
     • NixOS

     We'd like to give a special thanks to our community for their continual commitment to making a great #OpenSource OS and our localization team that works hard to make every release available in dozens of languages. This release also wouldn’t have been possible without the work of developers running #Pantheon on other distros like @fedora and @nixos_org and their participation upstream. And we're always grateful for the work that goes into the @ubuntu releases that we build upon.

     Terminal also gains the ability to both follow the system dark style preference as well as create custom color palettes. The new default light and dark styles are now fully opaque and have been updated to match the latest upstream values from the Solarized themes for improved legibility
