GNOME 3.14 Unleashed
Note
This is a News item page, and you can comment using DISQUS at the bottom.
While GNOME 3.14 is not a huge leap forward in comparison to 3.12, it comes with a lot of changes under the hood such as:
- a new animation when opening the Activities Overview
- new transition animations for windows
- new search providers for Clocks and Calculator (you can find times for cities and perform calculations)
- system-wide multitouch gestures (for touchscreen devices only)
- improvements to GTK
- improved support for Wi-Fi hotspot
- enhanced geolocation framework
- network-based sharing
- support for Wayland (for systemd systems only)
My patchset was also applied which (in part):
- reintegrates Power Management Utilities (pm-utils) Support
- restores Adwaita backgrounds from GNOME 3.10
- reintegrates background transparency for GNOME Terminal
You can find the instructions for upgrading (and for cleaning out some unnecessary files if you were testing) at GNOME First Steps.
