Milan Crha has been grinding through and fixing multiple smaller issues and papercuts in gnome-software in the last few weeks, adding polish to the upcoming 48.0 release
thanks to work by Om Thorat and Qiu Wenbo on the UI side, and many months of refactoring from all the maintainers, it is now possible to use different styles when highlighting text in PDF documents in Papers! This was one of the most requested features, and one we are very excited to share!
Phosh now detects captive Wi-Fi portals and shows a notification that takes you to your favorite browser when activated to log into the portal. When taking screenshots we now save thumbnails right away for file choosers and other apps to display. The compositor switched to wlroots 0.18 and things like debug log domains, damage tracking debugging or touch point debugging can now be configured at run time.
This week Keypunch was accepted into Circle! It’s an elegant little typing tutor to help you learn touch typing or improve your typing skills. Congratulations!
Following the major redesign of www.gnome.org last week, the developer portal at http://developer.gnome.org has also been refreshed with a new look. The update brings it in line with GNOME’s modern design while keeping key developer resources easily accessible.
