Other Info
==========
This update includes changes to translatable strings. This package uses Ubuntu language packs. Because language packs are only updated shortly before each Ubuntu LTS point release, ideally this update will be included before the language packs are updated.
The Ubuntu Desktop team considers the effect of changing translatable strings to be low because the changed strings were very new and weren't translated much. The strings are part of the Microsoft 365 feature that is new in GNOME 46. The updated strings have been available upstream since late May and the translation coverage is better although still incomplete. We will likely do another SRU to include another upstream bugfix release (with updated translations) before Ubuntu 24.04.2.
An update to translatable strings like this after a GNOME .0 release is very unusual. However, it was approved by the GNOME Release Team. Screenshots and more info at https:/
The backend library .symbols file indicates one removed symbol. It has been upstream's opinion for many years that the backend library is internal API and is subject to change. gnome-control-
