Bug fixes

A bug in the Calls app that prevented SIP from working when using multiple network interfaces has been fixed. The browser GNOME Web, formerly Epiphany, now asks for hanging websites whether they should be closed. In addition, a bug has been fixed that caused the browser to crash if the action to delete all passwords was used.
Hey Linux user, let’s talk about Fedora 35 and GNOME 41
The fallback to X.org has been fixed for the login manager GDM. GNOME Boxes can now use VNC if Spice is not available. GNOME Maps offers updated OSM POI types (Points of Interest) for editing. In addition, the use of the shopping cart symbol in the search results has been restricted to supermarket-like locations. At GNOME Music, the new design has been further refined. The GNOME Settings daemon now automatically activates the platform’s energy-saving profile when the battery is low. In addition, the display is darkened earlier and the notifications about the status of the battery are generalized. All other changes to GNOME 41.rc1 can be found here .

If you want to compile the release candidate yourself, you can find the source packages in the download section , the official build stream is also available there. The developers have also provided a current image that should be used in a virtual machine such as GNOME Boxes.
