Coming five weeks after GNOME 49 alpha, the GNOME 49 beta release adds a redesigned search popover to the Nautilus file manager, reintroduces snippet caching to the Loupe image viewer, adds media controls on the lock screen, adds a new default wallpaper, and adds a new Donate pop-up to encourage users to help GNOME.
