GNOME 3.38.1 is here to fix many issues discovered since the release of GNOME 3.38 across many core components and apps. For example, the Epiphany web browser now opens the portal helper in a new tab and only in non-GNOME environments, and the Flatpak app now supports opening of custom CSS and JavaScript files. Moreover, screen recordings has been added to recent items in GNOME Shell, which now features a tweaked peek-password feature and an improved DND behavior in the app picker. Workspace glitches that occurred in the GNOME Shell overview mode were addressed as well.
