fedora
Calendar Grey March 19, 2021
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora's GNOME Desktop 3 update enhances user experience and boosts system security with stricter permission controls and improved encryption protocols for better data protection
GNOME 40.rc

Summary

gnome-desktop contains the libgnome-desktop library as well as a data

file that exports the "GNOME" version to the Settings Details panel.

The libgnome-desktop library provides API shared by several applications

on the desktop, but that cannot live in the platform for various

reasons. There is no API or ABI guarantee, although we are doing our

best to provide stability. Documentation for the API is available with

gtk-doc.
