GNOME 48 released

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 18:14:05 +0000

Description:
GNOME 48 ("Bengaluru")
has been released. As usual, this release includes a number of new
features and enhancements including support for shortcuts in the Orca screen 
reader on Wayland, new fonts, addition of image editing to ImageViewer , and 
more. GNOME 48 includes a number of notable performance improvements. The
most significant of these is the introduction of dynamic triple
buffering. This change has undergone significant review and testing
over a period of five years and improves the perceived smoothness of
changes on screen, with fewer skipped frames and more fluid
animations. This has been achieved by enhancing the concurrency
capabilities of Mutter, the GNOME display manager, and is particularly
effective at handling sudden bursts of activity. The GNOME48 release also 
adds new applications to the GNOMECircle collection,
such as DrumMachine and the Iotas note-taking
application. See " What's new
for developers " a rundown of improvements for developers in
GNOME48.
