The GNOME project has released its weekly report, highlighting the porting of the File Previewer (sushi) application, used in GNOME for previewing file content, to the GTK4 library, libadwaita UI components, the Glycin image booting backend, and the Blueprint interface construction language. The File Previewer also features support for dark theme and floating toolbars, while its code has been modernized to utilize EcmaScript modules.
For the JavaScript engine GJS used in GNOME Shell, Polari, and GNOME Documents, the gjsify framework is evolving, adding support for TypeScript. Recent advancements in gjsify include the ability to run the TypeScript compiler within GJS, eliminating the need for Node.js to run tsc. A built-in command, 'gjsify install,' has been added for use instead of 'npm install.'

The first release of the Contributor Atlas application has been published, featuring a clear interactive map of the contributors and the development history of the GIMP project.
