# GNOME Builder 44.beta

Changes in this release:

 * SDK extension resolving has been made asynchronous so projects load much
   faster in conjunction with Flatpak. This brings in a new dependency on
   libdex which I've written about on planet.gnome.org.

 * Fixes for recent WebKitGTK changes.
 * Shortcut improvements.
 * Rust template updates.
 * The search entry now focuses the text editor when enter is pressed.
 * A number of new search providers have been added.
 * Preview of search results in the global search popover.
 * User-defined keybindings in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/gnome-builder/keybindings.json
 * Many keyboard shortcuts have been added.
 * The project tree has been ported to GtkListView and includes DnD again.
 * Preferences bug fixes.
 * Lots of safety improvements under the hood.
 * New filters for project-tree and todo panels.
 * Podman fixes for odd configuration files.
 * Build systems can now alter the "srcdir" allowing for projects which
   are in subdirectories of their git project to work better.
 * Support for SourceKit LSP for Swift.
