3.1.1. Text Editor
The gedit text-editor now provides spell-checking, among other plugins. There is also a new output window to show feedback when doing special processing. Additionally, it uses the new recent files functionality.

3.1.2. Image Viewer
The Eye of GNOME image viewer now allows you to rotate images and supports a Full Screen mode.

3.1.3. Character Map
The Character Map now has unicode support, allowing you to select a full range of characters in a wide range of fonts. Users may be interested in the Unicode Character Map [gucharmap] that should be released in the Fifth Toe, later this year.

3.2. File Roller
File Roller is an archive manager that allows you to view, extract and create archive files. File Roller supports a wide range of archive formats and, like the Search for Files dialog, is closely integrated into the GNOME desktop, with support for icon themes, drag and drop support and MIME type handling.

3.3. Multimedia Keys
The Multimedia Keys preference dialog allows you to make use of the multimedia keys on your laptop or home computer. With this dialog, you can assign keys to launch your email, browse the web, eject a CD, configure the brightness of your screen and many more.
