GNOME Shell 49 Beta Brings Restart/Shutdown Support To The Lock Screen
Along with the release of the Mutter 49 beta, GNOME Shell 49 beta was released on Sunday in preparation for the imminent GNOME 49 beta release

GNOME Shell 49 beta also now replaces Evince with the Papers document viewer in the Utilities folder, grouping screenshot/screencast notifications, fixing pointer scaling glitches within the GNOME Shell magnifier, and adding per-monitor brightness sliders within the quick settings.
