GNOME He is not used to writing weekly articles in which they tell us about dozens of new features like KDE, but there have been times when what has been mentioned has been interesting. As an example, the last week's article, in which, among other novelties, they told us about a transition when going from the light theme to the dark one and vice versa, and where the best effect is seen when using the default wallpaper.
El this week's article in GNOME it's been titled “security issues”, and I don't think it's the best way to start an article about what's new. But it seems that he has a reason: at the beginning of the article they say that «this problem takes place at the very moment when a war has broken out in Europe“, and show their support for the affected people. Having explained this, they already detail the security issues that have been fixed.
