Convert between currencies – Valuta is a simple and fast conversion tool, ideal for those who need to convert between different currencies repeatedly. Use it while traveling, budgeting, or anytime else you need to quickly convert...apps.gnome.org
My favorite new thing by far is accent colors. It’s so nice and refreshing to be able to really change the feel of your computer with just a few well-defined options—all while not introducing a massive burden to third-party app developers.
I’m most excited to see more apps incorporate the accent color in interesting ways, as it’s a great way to pull the user’s preferences into the app.

I’m really loving what’s coming in GNOME 47! It’s shaping up to be such a good polish release, and it keeps getting better. Huge props to all the folks who’ve been plugging away at the design and entire stack this cycle.
I'm looking forward to meeting up with folks next week in Denver for them to share more about their work this cycle and to hack on any last touches—plus planning what’s next. Join us in-person or remotely! guadec.org

Every #GNOMECalendar user owes a HUGE amount of gratitude to @khemicalkoder for solving the timelines backend bug that flew under the radar for years! It was causing at least two heisenbugs and obfuscating testing for a bunch of other bugs in the #GNOME calendaring application. This merge request was absolutely amazing: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…
In addition to the 2 bugs fixed, these two other issues become clear enough for newcomers to fix:
* gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…
* gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

GNOME 46.3 is now available as the third maintenance update to the GNOME 46 desktop environment series with bug fixes and improvements.Marius Nestor (9to5Linux)
Now that the storm has passed — I can share an update on screen reader support under Wayland.
As part of STF; GNOME has been working since the end of last year on resolving the matter.
The main issue is that we currently lack a way to “snoop on” or “grab” key events from the compositor.
We now have a draft protocol and implementation in Orca and Mutter thanks to @matt
We are doing our best to get it ready for GNOME 47.

📢 We're looking for GNOME users for a 30-40 minute session to test some GNOME apps and share your experiences. No specialist knowledge is required.
Interested? Pick your preferred time for the study via this link surveys.gnome.org/816914 and we will get back to you.
Thank you for helping us improve!

Stepping down as GNOME Internships organizer
For the past nine years, I’ve been actively involved in our internship initiatives with Google Summer of Code and Outreachy. As an alumnus of these programs, I firmly believe they are great ways to onboard new contributors to GNOME and help students start a career in open-source software.
However, as my work responsibilities have grown and I’ve started some personal (non-software) projects, I’ve found myself with less time and energy for this type of contribution.
I’ve been discussing this with key people over the past year, and I plan to stay around to hand over responsibilities to other members of the Internship Committee. I will continue helping manage things for 2024, but I won’t be directly involved beyond that.
If you’re interested in helping with these activities, please reach out to the GNOME Internship Committee.

And I want to say I'm loving the state of #GNOME's app ecosystem. Lots of apps, most of them really nice, many of them incredibly polished and well designed. The vision of small applications that do one thing and do it great was never so close.
All my love for the developers of these and many other great applications out there, and also for the GNOME community, for creating the ground for such an ecosystem to grow.
Join us for a walking tour of downtown Denver on our final day at #GUADEC2024! We've organized a group outing on July 24 for anyone attending in person. Want to join? Make sure to reserve your spot by July 10: events.gnome.org/event/209/pag…

A new way to develop on Linux ✨

Continuing our collaboration with the GNOME Foundation, through the Sovereign Tech Fund (STF), we have been busy on multiple fronts since our last update.www.codethink.co.uk
Thanks to @slomo the #gstreamer gtk4-paintable-sink just got support for video rotations. This is nice for video apps, making playback of video recorded on phones (portrait mode) more easy or faster (avoiding a copy compared to using a dedicated gst videoflip element).
The change is even better for Snapshot, the #gnome camera app: it uses the sink for its viewfinder and avoiding additional copies here has quite an impact on #mobilelinux devices.

There's been recently some confusion in #postmarketOS as GNOME Software is still on version 45. The main reason is that the simple plugin: github.com/Cogitri/gnome-softw… we use for APK has not been updated to follow GNOME Software's library changes. If anybody is interested in helping with maintenance for that project, I can provide guidance and reviews, and we will all be very pleased!

@antoniof has been doing some fantastic work on the new Nautilus file chooser. We're finally getting to a point where we'll be shipping a usable adaptive file chooser upstream.
(NOTE: this is still not merged, and I'm showcasing the current state of the WIP branches)
Ticked off a few more to-do items for my upcoming icon manager app!
- When importing a folder of icons it now scans sub-directories too. It can handle icons with the same name but in different folders, and it looks for keywords in folders and filenames like "solid" or "duotone" to detect the icon style.
- You can filter by icon style
- Flip a coin. If it's heads, you can delete a set without the app crashing. (I got tails)

Some GNOME websites are getting modernized and simplified, but Planet GNOME has fallen behind. Not anymore. I started a prototype for a Python script to publish Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI.
As Planet GNOME Editor, I am often asked to look for blog and syndication issues I couldn’t really address due to limited server-side access. With this, debugging indexing issues should be easier as it is just about looking at the CI job output.
Also, the Planet website is perceived as messy and outdated. So this work allowed Jakub Steiner to quickly jump in and restyle the page from a clean state.
Try it live at felipeborges.pages.gitlab.gnom… and let me know what you think. Keep in mind this is a proof of concept. Tips, feedback, and contributions are welcome in the project repo.
This still doesn’t produce the global Planet rss feed, just the webpage, but that’s in my TODO list too.
P.S.: I know feed readers/parsers can over-request rss/atom feeds. So I plan to cache data and use metadata to avoid redundant downloads before this is even considered as a replacement for the current Planet implementation. No worries. 😉
