Clasen: GNOME 3.10 sightings

After releasing GNOME 3.9.90, which is the first beta of the 3.9 development branch, Matthias Clasen reflects on what is coming in GNOME 3.10. New features include a combined system status menu, some changes to control-center, the new Maps application, and more use of "header bars". "Our previous approach of hiding titlebars on maximized windows had the problem that there was no obvious way to close maximized windows, and the titlebars were still using up vertical space on non-maximized windows. Header bars address both of these issues, and pave the way to the Wayland future by being rendered on the client side."
