GNOME Weekly Update: End-to-End Testing Enhancements and App Updates

GNOME Weekly Update: Enhanced Testing and App Improvements

This week's GNOME project highlights significant progress in both developer tools and user applications (August 9th-16th, 2024). This summary covers key advancements.

Key Developments:

• Streamlined End-to-End Testing: Thanks to a Codethink and GNOME Foundation collaboration (funded by the Sovereign Tech Fund), GNOME OS end-to-end testing has received a major boost. System extensions simplify the testing process, benefiting developers and testers alike. New CI/CD components are now available for all GNOME modules, with Mutter and GNOME Shell already integrated.

• Optional X11 Support: Continuing GNOME's Wayland migration, GDM and gnome-session can now be built without X11 support, aligning with Mutter and GNOME Shell.

GNOME and Third-Party App Updates:

Several GNOME and third-party applications have seen updates:

• Wike (v3.1.0): The Wikipedia reader now uses libadwaita responsive widgets for windows and dialogs. Simplified Chinese and Hungarian language support have been added, along with updates to existing translations.

• Snoop (v0.4): This file browser and analyzer includes fixes for search path validation, handling of paths with "~" or spaces, and a new "Remove" button in settings to uninstall the Nautilus extension.

• Phosh (v0.41.0): The Wayland shell for mobile devices adds a Wi-Fi Hotspot toggle, a Bluetooth status page, improved media player widget (showing track progress), new Squeekboard layouts, and the ability to silence calls with the volume down button.

• Keypunch (v3.1): This typing tutor now supports Italian, and adds text generation for Czech, Occitan, and Polish, with UI translations for Occitan and Polish.
