Apologies for posting late this month. LMDE 2 “Betsy” was released. I know many LMDE 1 users are eagerly waiting for us to announce an upgrade path to Betsy so I’ll keep these news short and go back to working on that \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

MATE 1.10 is being labeled as we speak and should be released very shortly.<\/p>\n

Cinnamon 2.6 will reach feature-freeze mid-May and become stable at the end of the month. It’s already full of improvements and new features but there are a couple of very important sub-projects we wanted to put in it: The ability for users to change whether Cinnamon works with consolekit or logind without recompiling, a queue for file operations in Nemo so they can be performed one after the other, actual screensavers in cinnamon-screensaver (we’ve got support for xscreensaver and webkit screensavers already, we need to work on the configuration UI)… etc.<\/p>\n

Linux Mint 17.2 “Rafaela” is planned for the end of the June, with an RC release mid-June.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to our sponsors and to all the people who donated to us. Special thanks also to the artists who answered our call for help last month.<\/p>\n
