Good question. As far as the release notes are concerned, we generally have around 6 headline features. Currently, my list looks like this: Primary features * Multitouch touchpad gestures (Wayland only) * Files improvements - include Nautilus and the file chooser? (other places, remote search, better bookmarking, new ongoing operations ui, file chooser search) * Google Drive Integration * New Characters application * New Calendar application * Firmware updates Secondary features * Ambient light sensor support * Touch text selection improvements * Enhanced Polari - initial setup, error handling, paste service integration * Preview apps: News and To Do * Boxes - miscellaneous improvements * Scrolling improvements (kinetic scrolling with touchpads, improved behaviour with mice) Smaller things * GNOME Shell refinements (improved system status menu, restyled dialog windows) * Logs improvements (better layout, select which boot to view) * gedit - minimap * Control center - improved bluetooth settings * Smooth spinners One thing I'm not sure about is how much attention to give multitouch touchpad gestures, since they are a Wayland-only feature, and therefore probably won't be available to most people.
