there are many interesting one's for me this issue, mainly :

  • Drag and drop of folders will now work with sandboxed applications (Drop a folder from Nautilus onto Amberol)
  • In the works is accessing USB devices with per-device, per-app permissions.
  • Adding CSS variables support to GTK.
  • Grouping notifications by app in GNOME Shell.
  • CalDAV/CardDAV support in Gnome Online accounts.

Hope we get many of these in coming few months.

Cal-/CardDAV support in Gnome is awesome. There was no way for me to use the integrated Gnome Calendar.

You can use Evolution to set it up and then use gnome-calender to use it (I set it up this way for my radical server). I think, what they will do is, integrating the cal/carddav-setup in to GOA so that you don't have to interact with Evolution anymore.

The "backend" is currently managed by evolution-data-server. Maybe they will replace it some day, too.

Thanks. Interesting, I didn't know this was possible.

How on earth have they not had css variables. Seems like a recipe for inconsistency, but gnome tends to be fairly consistent

GTK currently has a CSS extension that lets you define named colours with @define-color.

Love what the gnome team is doing currently!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
