Is Totem (Gnome Videos) still maintained? As per https://apps.gnome.org/Totem/ latest version is 43 from 2022. Is it going to be removed from Gnome Core apps or replaced with something new?
I'm slowly discovering all the nice stuff in #GNOME46 that other #gnome devs have been working on.
My personal favorite so far are the generic Cal/Card/WebDav accounts, for several reasons.
First of all, I use CalDav and CardDav extensively, both personally and at work. Especially my contacts are something that I on one side want to be available on all my devices - and on the other side really want to have control over. I.e. I only want that data on providers I trust.
For anyone following along, this is also finally the blog post where I explain in some detail how the latency tester works and what is shown on the plots.
I didn't turn off my laptop since my screencast demo at #GNOME46 Berlin, and realized i walked away with a piece of @cas 's display with me, forever :ablobcatbongo:
Hm, #GNOME46 s new remote login option via the rdp protocoll is a huge step up from the last version. Beign able to connect without having to log in first helps me a lot...
What I really like about #GNOME46 is that it turned out to be a really good release for old and low-end devices. One of my test devices is Thinkpad T400. That hardware is over 15 years old and is has actually got faster over the last few years - especially this release.
One of my favorite improvements here, headed by Christian Hergert, was the boost to VTE. Terminals using #gtk4 are now much faster and responsive. I mean, damn, even switching tabs doesn't trigger a full redraw!
There were also a bunch of improvements to screen casting, resulting in #GNOME46 being the first release where I can make fullscreen recordings on this device at reasonable speed. I can even play video during recording, as long as hardware decoding is used (only mpeg2 :P).
We're excited to announce the release of #GNOME46! This release brings many updates and improvements thanks to the hard work of #GNOME contributors. 🎉 https://youtu.be/r_QyRJf3rtQ
Announcing the program for the GNOME release party on March 30+31 🥳️
On Saturday we're trying something different from previous editions with cooking, talks, etc. It will be a bit of an experiment, but I think it's going to be a lot of fun 🧑🍳️🍲️🥕️
To make up for it we're meeting on Sunday specifically for hacking though :)
