GNOME 3.36.1

Today is a day with some importance in the Linux world because we are hours, maybe minutes, before Canonical releases Ubuntu 20.04 Beta. But that does not mean that the world stopped and there had to be other events as well, such as the launch of GNOME 3.36.1 that has already occurred. At this time, the Focal Fossa Daily Build already includes GNOME 3.36, but the final version should include, at a minimum, what they just published a few moments ago.

As a point release, GNOME 3.36.1 does not include changes in the form of new functions, but there are fixes that will make everything related to one of the most popular graphic environments work more fluid, stable and reliable. Below you have a small list with the most outstanding news that they have included in this version.

Highlights of GNOME 3.36.1

  • Improved application folders for GNOME Shell, as well as improved screen reader support.
  • Mutter has fixed their hardware cursor support on GPU hot-plugs, added support for middle click emulation on mice, included scaling fixes, added fixes for building with OpenGL ES but without desktop OpenGL, and other bug fixes .
  • GJS now correctly exposes its BigInt type support.
  • Fixed Gedit build for macOS.
  • Build fixes under GCC 10.
  • Bug fixes for GNOME Music.
  • Many translation updates.
  • The full list is at this link.

As we have explained previously, GNOME 3.36 is the version of the graphical environment that you will use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa. Among its most outstanding novelties we have the Do Not Disturb mode, improvements in the ordering of the application selector or the new Extensions app to manage GNOME extensions. You have more news explained in this article. The next version will already be a GNOME 3.36.2 that should arrive in mid-May.

    Hello, I recently updated from 18.04lts to 20.04lts and the Ubuntu software worked fine, now I enter and nothing appears in the "installed" section, however if I do a search for some software that I have installed if it displays it with the logo installed. I have looked for the solution in various forums but apparently it is not a very common failure, I suppose I will have to wait for the next version to see if it is corrected, greetings!
