Matthias Clasen has announced the release of GNOME 47, dubbed 'Denver', which adds adjustable accent colors, increased support for small displays, persistent remote sessions, and new-style dialogue windows. Files has also been upgraded and is now used in the file open and save dialogs.
GNOME 47 will be released in Fedora 41 and Ubuntu 24.10, with beta releases coming soon. The GNOME community, which included developers, designers, documentation writers, usability specialists, translators, maintainers, students, system administrators, companies, artists, testers, the local GUADEC team in Denver, and users, helped with the six-month endeavor.
GNOME 47 released
The GNOME Project is proud to announce the release of GNOME 47, ‘Denver’.
This release brings support for customizable Accent Colors, improved support for small screens, persistent remote sessions and new-style dialog windows. Like many other core apps, Files has received improvements and now also used for file open and save dialogs. And once again, a whole slew of new apps has joined the GNOME Circle initiative: find GNOME apps for anything from currency conversion to resource monitoring.

GNOME 47 will be available shortly in many distributions, such as Fedora 41 and Ubuntu 24.10. If you want to try it today, you can look for their beta releases, which will be available very soon:
We are also providing our own installer images for debugging and testing features. These images are meant for installation in a vm and require GNOME Boxes with UEFI support. We suggest getting Boxes from Flathub.
If you are interested in building applications for GNOME 47, look for the GNOME 47 Flatpak SDK, which is available in the http://www.flathub.org/ repository.
This six-month effort wouldn’t have been possible without the whole GNOME community, made of contributors and friends from all around the world: developers, designers, documentation writers, usability and accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, students, system administrators, companies, artists, testers, the local GUADEC team in Denver, and last, but not least, our users.
GNOME would not exist without all of you. Thank you to everyone!
We hope to see some of you at GNOME Asia 2024 in Bengaluru, India!
Our next release, GNOME 48, is planned for March 2025. Until then,
enjoy GNOME 47.
