GNOME 46.5 is now available as the fifth maintenance update to the GNOME 46 desktop environment series with more bug fixes and improvements.

...

GNOME 46.5 is here five weeks after the GNOME 46.4 release and fixes smartcard logins, adds user permissions to new Wi-Fi connections for restricted users, fixes the showing of pending PAM messages on the login screen, and fixes the “Locate Pointer” accessibility option when the “Reduce Animation” option is turned on.

It also fixes several issues in the Mutter window and composite manager, including drag and drop between X11 and Wayland clients, drag and drop from grabbing pop-ups, EGLDevice support, frozen cursor on some hybrid machines, tablet input in maximized windows, frozen cursor after suspend, using modifiers on multi-GPU setups, propagating tablet device removals to clients, and touch window dragging with pointer lock enabled.

A new app was added to GNOME Circle: Binary by @fizzyizzy05@tech.lgbt! https://apps.gnome.org/Binary/

Binary makes working with numbers of different bases (like binary or hexadecimal) a breeze. No more counting binary digits on your fingers!

Congratulations! 🎉

What surprised me was that the author of the feature is an employee of Volkswagen who has worked on this on their behalf.

As part of our outreachy internship program on the GNOME Community Udo Ijibike and Tamnjong Larry (myself) under the guide of our mentors Allan Day and Aryan Kaushik conducted usability tests to evaluate the user experience across three media applications: Decibels (Audio Player), Loupe (Image Viewer), and Showtime (Video Player). Our goal was to identify areas for improvement and enhance the overall usability of these applications to better align with users' natural workflows.

...

For this study, we recruited five participants from across the world who were GNOME users but had not used any of the media apps before the study. The participants were from diverse works of life from software developers, students, and a medical doctor, just people who use GNOME regularly. The participants were recruited through social media posts on GNOME's official channels on Twitter and Mastodon.

Maps and GNOME 47 (ml4711.blogspot.com)

The biggest change since last release is that we now use the vector-based map by default and the old raster map has also been retired since we wanted to move forward with things like enabling, and relying on clickable POIs directly in the map view so we could the remove the old tedious “What's here?” context menu doing a reverse geocoding to get details about a place (which is also a bit hit-and-miss with regards to how close to where you point the actual result is).

Apart from this other benefits we get (and this has already been mentioned in earlier posts) localized names (when tagged in OpenStreetMap) and finally a proper dark mode with our new GNOME map style.
