As you know I am also from Germany and so I have got Google Mail.

But the New Feature Page is showing nothing new.

Link also in Gmail?

Give us the link to your album hebbet..
Embedding a direct link of an image doesn't work with PWA.. :/

I am getting the same error message... here is the correct url I assume: http://picasaweb.google.com/pascal.herbert/GWB2/photo#5195835960022519410, but I don't know, it was the only image about new features in gmail...

[offtopic]Actually new comments should be shown before you click the submit button or before the actually message is published, so that you can check whether someone posted the same thing you want to post... For example in this case there were 39 seconds between Hebbet's post and mine... or like some sites tend to do, give you 5 minutes to edit your post, although that would probably be pretty hard to make secure with the account system Blogoscoped uses[/offtopic]

Now I know the reason for the link is: Google has updated the localized what's new Pages:
German Page: http://mail.google.com/mail/help/intl/de/about_whatsnew.html
French: http://mail.google.com/mail/help/intl/fr/about_whatsnew.html

US: http://mail.google.com/mail/help/intl/en/about_whatsnew.html

I don't see anything new though..

(Off topic: Notice that the " New Features " title in Google mail is different than PWA. In Google Mail it's " New features! ", and in PWA it's " New Features! ".. :P)

I don't get it. The "New features" link should disappear after you click on it. Those feature are no longer new after you read about them.

But maybe you want to tell someone else about that page and you might have forgotten to bookmark it?

In some Google apps, below the message there will be printed something like "dismiss this message". Wouldn't quite fit into the top of Gmail but maybe it would fit somewhere else...

Well, at lease replace the red color with blue after you first clicked on the link and remove the link x days after the first click (x could be 7).

Or even if they wrote in the approximate date when something was new.
