GNOME 3.28 'Chongqing' Linux Is Here (betanews.com)
BrianFagioli writes: GNOME 3.28 is the latest version of GNOME 3, and is the result of 6 months' hard work by the GNOME community. It contains several major new features, as well as many smaller improvements and bug fixes. In total, the release incorporates 24105 changes, made by approximately 778 contributors.
The Project explains, "GNOME 3.28 comes with more beautiful things! First, and most significantly, GNOME's default interface font (called Cantarell) has undergone a significant update. Character forms and spacing have been evolved, so that text is more readable and attractive. Several new weights have also been added -- light and extra bold -- which are being used to produce interfaces that are both modern and beautiful. Other beautiful things include GNOME's collection of background wallpapers, which has been updated to include a lovely set of photographs, and the selection of profile pictures, which has been completely updated with attractive new images to pick from."
Unfortunately, you can't just click on a button and upgrade to GNOME 3.28 today. Actually, for the most part, you will need to wait for it to become available for your operating system. Sadly, this can take a while. Fedora users, for instance, will have to wait for a major OS upgrade for it to become available.

In case anyone is wondering about the name, Chongqing is China's fourth municipality, and was apparently the location of the GNOME.asia conference last year. This will save you from having to Google it.
They have precisely e such developers in any given team. (Well, it's an irrational question, so of course you should expect an irrational answer!)
Geez, talk about using the wrong irrational number on fucking Pi Day.
Fonts and desktop backgrounds. I'm glad those items are top of the line there. Too bad Gnome is still unusable and weird.
Gnome 3: designed by coders, coded by designers.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."

You updated the font? Can't wait to hear about the subsequent and less significant changes.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
