I hope the headline of this article hasn't confused anyone. This post is one of those that are published on weekends with the latest news in the world GNOME, and anyone who wants to know more about GNOME 45 should read this other article. Like us, the only thing they have published on TWIG about the latest version of their desktop is that it is now available and a link to an article with all the news.
Well, that and some of Calendar, the official and "central" application to check dates in GNOME. For example, they have reimagined the scrolling behavior, making it smoother when scrolling between weeks, and this has ended up improving performance. Calendar 45 also behaves better when navigating using the keyboard, and the moment has been taken advantage of to correct many bugs.
