The upcoming GNOME 50 release is incorporating several changes based on the updated code base. The improvements include the ability to restore applications launched in the previous session. The gnome-session session manager will now have a mode to save a list of running applications during session termination. This feature allows for the windows of these applications to be restored in the subsequent session. Additionally, a new switch has been added to the configurator to disable this behavior if needed.
