Channels Come to GNOME Videos
The Videos application has been improved in GNOME 3.12 with a new video window and channels interface.
GNOME Web Improves Browser Technology
While GNOME users can always choose to install any number of different Web browsers, the Web application is the default choice. In GNOME 3.12, Web has been improved with better performance and a new browser tab interface.
The gedit Text Editor Goes Minimal
The default text editor in GNOME is gedit, and it got an overhaul in GNOME 3.12, providing users with a minimalist interface.
GNOME Photos Gains Search Improvements
Photos, the default photo viewing and sharing application in GNOME 3.12, gains new search capabilities.
