Throughout this week, although we we published it today, the release of GNOME 48 has taken place. No one can deny that it is an important event in the circle of GNOME, or the most important one, since it's a new version of the graphical environment, as well as libraries and some of its applications. With that in mind, it's not hard to understand why this week's GNOME review, which ran from March 14th to 21st, doesn't include a large number of points.
Yes, they have mentioned something interesting: "If you'd like to follow the development of GNOME 49 (Fall 2025), keep an eye on this page — we'll be posting exciting news every week!«. In other words, development of the next version will soon begin, and we will also be reporting on it. What follows is the short News list that have taken place in the last seven days.
