Written by Michael Larabel in GNOME on 12 July 2025 at 06:43 AM EDT. 33 Comments
On top of this week's release of the GNOME 49 Alpha, other application improvements and more came about in the past few days.

This Week in GNOME is out with their newest issue to outline the notable GNOME desktop changes for the week. Some of the highlights this week included:

- The GNOME Calendar application now allows exporting events as ICS files for easy event sharing.

- The GNOME Builder integrated development environment has added built-in inline Git blame support to see who last modified particular lines of code. GNOME Builder also now has enhanced LSP Markdown rendering with syntax highlighting and other enhancements.

- The third-party Dev Toolbox added a new color converter tool between HEX / RGB / HSL and other color formats. There is also improvements to its JWT and chmod tools as well as enhanced search support and more.

- The GNOME Foundation continues supporting efforts for advancing the desktop's "Digital Wellbeing" feature as well as working on grant/fellowships and other activities. Part of the Digital Wellbeing sponsorship from the GNOME Foundation is to enhance the Parental Controls support so it's on-par with other modern GNOME apps.
