For the GNOME 3.12 release, the developers will concentrate their efforts on fully porting the desktop environment to the Wayland display server, which will be supported by default instead of XOrg. The GNOME 3.12 desktop environment will integrate support for Facebook photos in the GNOME Photos application, add a standalone GNOME Software application for easily installing GNOME apps, integrate systemd support for the user session, and integrate Git in the developer experience.
