there are many interesting one’s for me this issue, mainly :

  • Drag and drop of folders will now work with sandboxed applications (Drop a folder from Nautilus onto Amberol)
  • In the works is accessing USB devices with per-device, per-app permissions.
  • Adding CSS variables support to GTK.
  • Grouping notifications by app in GNOME Shell.
  • CalDAV/CardDAV support in Gnome Online accounts.

Hope we get many of these in coming few months.

How on earth have they not had css variables. Seems like a recipe for inconsistency, but gnome tends to be fairly consistent

GTK currently has a CSS extension that lets you define named colours with @define-color.

Cal-/CardDAV support in Gnome is awesome. There was no way for me to use the integrated Gnome Calendar.

You can use Evolution to set it up and then use gnome-calender to use it (I set it up this way for my radical server). I think, what they will do is, integrating the cal/carddav-setup in to GOA so that you don’t have to interact with Evolution anymore.

The “backend” is currently managed by evolution-data-server. Maybe they will replace it some day, too.

Thanks. Interesting, I didn’t know this was possible.

Love what the gnome team is doing currently!
