♞ Coming up on 9TO5Linux ♞ Abderrahim Kitouni announced the official release
of GNOME 41.1 with improvements to new apps, and more. Check out what's new in this update.
GNOME is the default environment for Ubuntu and many other Linux distributions.
Often, users use it and don't even know its name because it just comes installed and works fine.
Now, Abderrahim Kitouni has announced the official release of GNOME 41.1 as the first
maintenance update for the latest and greatest series of GNOME 41 desktop environments.
What's New in GNOME 41.1 GNOME 41.1 is the first timely
release of the GNOME 41 desktop environment, which introduced new calling and connecting
applications, a redesigned software application, new multitasking and mobile connection settings,
and improved power management features. Now, GNOME 41.1 builds on these changes
and brings a first batch of improvements that update the GNOME software package manager
to allow searching for GNOME extensions, improve codec installation process,
add new GNOME Circle apps to the carousel in highlight, improve metadata support for Snap apps,
update app lists when repositories are enabled, disable, install or remove,
support the Flathub repository on Fedora Linux 35, check for updates on suspend/hibernate,
and no longer recommend a reboot when firmware update fails.
The Nautilus file manager has also been updated to cache the Scripts and New Document menus to
avoid delays, provide an option to skip the process when file extraction fails
only when there are more files, improve progress reporting when skip occurs
during extraction, automatically remove the remaining files when the extraction process fails
and set keyboard focus on the line with the selected file format.
The new calling app now populates @domain in the dial string for SIP, shows the correct timestamps
in the call history when it loads, and handles contact lookups better.
On the other hand, the new GNOME Connections applications now feature
improved parsing of incomplete addresses, prevent the search function from stealing
display keystroke events, add parameters to the Exec key in the desktop file, and
draw RDP thumbnails on the side. application. Other updated applications include gnome-autoar
0.4.1, which adds support for dealing with passphrase prompt override to prevent
error dialogs from being displayed, and improved extraction in symlink locations, GNOME Builder
41.1, which now makes system or user fonts available when running an application, and GNOME
Control Center 41.1, which fixes data activation after setting up an APN in the Network panel.
As expected, most of the changes are under the hood, as GNOME 41.1 further improves the GNOME
Shell to update application icons when they're hidden, improve GTK colorpicker support,
improve high contrast options, allow only one extension preferences dialog at a time,
improve erratic scrolling in GTK apps, and improve support for sound files in notifications.
Also, the Mutter window and the compozite manager received a lot of improvements to fix monitor
screencast scans, allow customers to maximize windows regardless of restrictions in Wayland,
handle hotplug events that don't have relevant changes anymore Effectively, add support for ABGR
and XBGR formats to dma-buf, fix the X11 middle button emulation setting, and include
server-side shadows in the windows screenshots. Also, Mutter 41.1 improves Firefox video playback
in Activity Overview, improves X11 on-screen keyboard, no longer uses atomic mode setting
for virtio_gpu driver, fixes text glitches that occurred after changing its size, fixes
mapping tablet input to correct display, improves the tilt direction of pen/tablet inputs, resets
idle time when unplugging the power cord, and no longer changes unmanaged window workspaces.
Some other Wayland tweaks are also present in GNOME 41.1,
and you can study the full changelog for more details.
