After 6 months of development, the new GNOME 3.22 comes complete with a total of 22980 changes thanks to the contribution of about 775 participators.
The GNOME team plans to make this version available for Fedora
Workstation 25 as the desktop environment, with its major highlight
coming in the form of Flatpak integration – a framework with the aim of
helping app developers package and share their software across various
distros more easily.
GNOME 3.22 also comes with a revamped app store. The renovated
landing page now displays more applications and the category section
makes for an easier navigation. There’s also a change to the color-coded
badges.
Nautilus (the files application) can now batch rename files
and perform better sorting and view controls. GNOME also received
improvements to its Keyboard Settings, dconf Editor, Calendar, Polari,
Videos, and Boxes, among other apps.

MATE 1.16
MATE 1.16,
just like its counterpart, has arrived after 6 months of continous
development, with this release focusing on bug fixes, improvements in
GTK3+ compatibility and migrating components to newer libraries. The
GTK3+ support has therefore been improved across the entire MATE
Desktop.
Application and theme support for GTK+ 3.22 is one of the major
changes that have come in MATE 1.16. More applications are built against
GTK3+ only, including apps like MATE Notification Daemon, MATE Session
Manager, MATE Polkit, Engrampa, and MATE Terminal.
The development team has worked to decouple some applications from
libmate-dekstop and port some to GApplcation. You can read the complete MATE 1.16 Changelog for a detailed list of changes
