The development cycle of the forthcoming and highly anticipated GNOME 3.16 desktop environment continues with the second Beta version, due for release in the upcoming days. The GNOME Control Center component has been updated to version 3.16 Beta 2, a release that brings a number of fixes, a couple of enhancements, as well as updated translations.

In GNOME 3.16, GNOME Control Center will better support the nightly builds of the acclaimed Mozilla Firefox web browser in the Details section, will better handle Enterprise logins in the User Accounts section, and introduces a brand-new way to sort input sources in the Region section, in order to allow the user to choose the default source.

According to the raw changelog, GNOME Control Center 3.16 Beta 2 no longer displays fingerprint options in the User Accounts section if they have been disabled, and fixes an issue with the clone mode in the Display section, which could lead to broken setups in various cases. Last but not least, several translations have been updated.

You can download GNOME Control Center 3.16 Beta 2 sources right now from Softpedia, but keep in mind that the code is unstable, so it shouldn't be used in production machines. Please report bugs you discover in the software to the GNOME Bugzilla website.
