The GNOME Project is proud to announce the release of GNOME 48, ‘Bengaluru’.
This release introduces the new Adwaita fonts, image editing and redesigned
zoom controls in the image viewer, digital wellbeing features, a new audio player
app, and HDR support, to name just a few highlights. Like many other core apps,
Text Editor has received improvements that make it more efficient and pleasant
to use. And once again, a number of new apps have joined the GNOME Circle initiative.
To learn more about the changes in GNOME 48 you can read the release notes:
To find out about apps that are part of the GNOME ecosystem, visit
GNOME 48 will be available shortly in many distributions, such as Fedora 42
and Ubuntu 25.04. If you want to try it today, you can look for their beta
releases, which will be available very soon.
We are also providing our own installer images for debugging and testing
features. These images are meant for installation in a vm and require
GNOME Boxes with UEFI support. We suggest getting Boxes from
Flathub.
If you are interested in building applications for GNOME 48, look for the
GNOME 48 Flatpak SDK, which is available in the Flathub repository.
If you want to support the GNOME project, please
Donations are essential for us to improve our development infrastructure,
host community events, and keep Flathub running. Every contribution makes
a difference and allows us to do more.
This six-month effort wouldn’t have been possible without the whole GNOME
community, made of contributors and friends from all around the world:
developers, designers, documentation writers, usability and accessibility
specialists, translators, maintainers, students, system administrators,
companies, artists, testers, the local GNOME.Asia team in Bengaluru,
and last, but not least, our users.
GNOME would not exist without all of you. Thank you to everyone!
We hope to see some of you at GUADEC 2025 in Brescia, Italy!
Our next release, GNOME 49, is planned for September 2025. Until then,
enjoy GNOME 48.
