I optimizedGNOME Shell’s layout performance a little bit, and then a tiny bit more. This code runs every frame during the overview animations so it’s important that it’s fast.
GNOME Web gets a more friendly way to get screenshots. It is now possible to do this through the context menu by choosing the Take Screenshot option or pressing Shift + Ctrl + S.
Solanum now has the ability to completely reset sessions without restarting the app. New contributor Dani Rodríguez is responsible for implementing this. Thank you, Dani!
NewsFlash recently gained support for Nextcloud News. It only supports API v1.3 which will be available in their next release 18.1.1. So Make sure to update you Nextcloud News if you plan to sync with NewsFlash.
Since my last update on TWIG was some time ago I should also mention the updated tagging workflow: you can create tags & tag articles now in one step without a single click. The login & reset pages have gotten a libadwaita makeover and are now more mobile friendly. And of course the new libadwaita about dialog has to be mentioned.
Amberol 0.9.0 is out, now with fuzzy matching when searching inside the playlist, loads of bug fixes in the code, style, and dependencies that deal with loading metadata, and translation updates. You can get the new release from Flathub or the software center application nearest to you.
Loupe now has the ability to show file properties. NOTE: These are based on the file’s basic info and not exif data currently. Properties based on exif data will come later.
The first version (and first minor patch) of Ear Tag has been released!
Ear Tag is a small and simple music tag editor meant to be used for editing single files, rather than entire music collections like many other tagging programs. You can get it on FlatHub, or get the code from the release page.
One of our GSoC students Anupam Kumar had great progress on the development of Chromecast (Cast v2) protocol support on GNOME Network Displays. You can read it more here.
ReadingStrip is an extension for Gnome-Shell. It works as a reading guide for computer and this is really useful for people affected by dyslexia. It works great in helping children focusing to read very well, it marks the sentence that they are reading and hides the previous and the next one. It’s already used in education projects at schools, it puts the attention on screen but it’s also really useful for programmers and graphic designers who want to check their works.
The new Czech GNOME community website, along with the Czech Matrix room and Mastodon/Twitter accounts, has been released! Thanks to the GNOME Infrastructure team for their help with publishing the page, and to Martin Thibault and Felix Häcker for their help with creating the Matrix room!
