GNOME 3.27.1 is out as the first development milestone in the road to next March's GNOME 3.28 desktop update.

Changes within GNOME 3.27.1 include:

- Baobab, DConf, and Dconf-Editor were the latest GNOME components ported to the Meson build system.

- The many changes within GTK+ 3.92 as stepping closer to GTK4.

- Hybrid GPU support in Mutter with Wayland.

- Google Safe Browsing and better Flatpak handling within the Epiphany web-browser.

- Various improvements to the GNOME Builder IDE.

The complete list of GNOME 3.27.1 changes can be found via the release announcement. GNOME 3.28.0 is currently scheduled for release on 14 March, so there is still plenty of time for more features to land.
