A few hours ago, GNOME has published on TWIG the news he has seen in the week from August 25 to September 1. The article has been titled "Number 1", and to be honest I don't quite get it. It may have to do with the number of the week, 111, but the headline is the least important thing about this type of entry. What really matters is what is below.
And below there are new features, such as that Cartridges also supports .desktop entries. This adds to the support for RetroArch games that they implemented a few weeks ago, something that, without having done much research, I still don't know how it works. What you have below is the News list that they published this week, one that will not have any images because at the time of writing this article their website was not working.
This week in GNOME
- New offline document viewer for Workbench that will arrive alongside Workbench 45 and will probably become a standalone application in the future. So far it supports gi-docgen documents, searching for packages and forward/backward navigation.
- Cartridges 2.3 has arrived with support for importing .desktop entries, now allows you to choose executables on the fly via file selector, and manually added short covers will have a margin with a blurred background instead of shrinking.
- A new minor version of libmks has been released. Most contain small fixes that should make the rendering perfectly smooth.

- Portfolio 1.0.0 is the first step in the modernization process towards GTK4 and Libadwaita. It is also a continuation of the developer's efforts to bring a minimalist file manager to the mobile Linux community, with some bug fixes.
- Fretboard 2.0 (guitar tablature app) has arrived with:
- Possibility of seeing different ways to play the same chord, so we can find which one suits us best.
- Chords can now be saved to favorites to view later.
- An extra fret has been added to the chord diagram to help practice those trickier positions.
- If you hover over the chords you will see the names of the respective notes.
- More precise and intelligent chord selection.
- Flare 0.10.0 (Signal client):
- You can now receive notifications when someone reacts to a message (if desired).
- Added support for libspelling.
- Fixed some major performance issues.
- Deleting messages from a channel locally.
- Added support for blurhash, so even unloaded images and videos look great.
- Tons of UI improvements.
- Many fixes.
- Deikhan has received a welcome page, support for more codecs and more translations (Czech, French, Russian and Turkish). Moreover, it disables full screen when nothing is loaded and remembers the full screen state of the player and restores it when opening files.
Miscellany
In the miscellaneous section, Cassidy James, formerly of elementaryOS, says: «I have been editing the GUADEC 2023 broadcasts, one day long, in individual talks. To help share with some great apps designed for GNOME, I've provided instructions and a couple of videos on the GitLab topic. I hope this can help people in the future for GUADEC and other conferences. conferences. A huge thank you to YouTube's HappiePlant NL for providing full timestamps for every GUADEC 2023 talk. This kind of work is often too invisible in the community, and yet it's a great way to contribute. way to contribute. The next step is to upload the videos to the channel with the proper titles and descriptions and proper descriptions. "
For our part, we say that the images remain that way because we cannot access This Week in GNOME.
