Ah sorry, I hadn't realised that.

 Are there other important improvements in other libraries than GLib and
 GTK+? Because having a single item for GtkSourceView is not a good idea,
 in that case it's better to just talk about GLib and GTK+.

Note that the release notes are now being translated by the
localisation teams, so it's a bit difficult to make major changes.

If it's just moving things around, it doesn't change anything for
translators. If it's removing something, it's less work for those that
haven't translated it yet (and not a real problem if it has already
been translated). Also note that since technical stuff is more
difficult to understand, it is usually translated last in the release
notes as translators want to take the time to think about it.

If there are other important changes in other libraries, I think it's a
good idea to add them in the release notes. It would be just two or
three more lines to translate. But it should be done as soon as
possible so you have the time to update the translation.

Or it doesn't matter to me if GtkSourceView is not mentioned in the
release notes, so you can just remove the line. GNOME-wide, it's not
really important.

Yeah, it became improved annotations functionality in the actual notes.

  improved annotations functionality conveys 10x less information and
is 10x less useful than option to remove annotations from a document.

This is a reminder that I'm still looking for details for the release
notes. I need more than just a bullet for each feature - some
description is essential.

Notable absences from the release notes:

 * No details on gestures - which gestures are supported by which
apps? Do they work automatically in other apps? etc.
 * Not much on the shell. I know we're not expecting big changes here,
but there could be groups of bugs that are worth mentioning. I'm
especially interested in multimonitor improvements.
 * Videos, Boxes, Web and Documents are missing.
 * Photos and Music seems pretty empty.

Thanks,

Allan

 Hi everyone!

 The 3.14 release is approaching fast, and UI freeze is almost upon us.
 Now is a good time to start thinking about the Release Notes.

 Please add any features you have worked on over this cycle to the wiki page:

 https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointThirteen/ReleaseNotes

 They can be big or small improvements - it doesn't matter.

 Thanks,
