* '''Wayland''' - the new display technology to replace aging X is ready for daily use. Although Wayland hasn't reach 100% feature parity with X, developers have covered most use cases and made it a reliable option. Wayland brings better HiDPI support for multiple monitors, tear-free video playback, significantly improved security due to app isolation on the display server level, and lots of potential for the future. | |||
* '''Font Improvements''' - the default font - Cantarell - has received some major improvements: the language coverage has been brought up almost to [https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/adobe-latin-charsets Adobe Latin 4] and [https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/adobe-cyrillic-charsets Adobe Cyrillic 2], e.g. Vietnamese is fully supported now. Hinting has been tweaked. | |||
* '''Shortcuts Windows''' - 18 GNOME apps have received a window with an overview of keyboard shortcuts and multitouch gestures available for the application. Just hit Control-F1 or Control-? to open the window. | |||
