News will be very short this month because we’re just about to release the RC for Linux Mint 17.2.<\/p>\n

A huge thank you to all the developers and all the people who worked with us to make this happen, within Linux Mint but also in the Cinnamon and MATE projects. Many thanks also to the moderation team and to all the people who fund us (donors, sponsors, partners): If it wasn’t for you we couldn’t focus on the development as much as we do.<\/p>\n

Linux Mint 17.2 introduces exciting improvements to the MDM display manager,\u00a0 the update manager, the configuration of locales, software sources and PPA, the formatting of USB sticks and the creation of live USB devices, and on the system: bash and apt. The desktop environments, Cinnamon 2.6 and MATE 1.10 also bring a lot of new features. LibreOffice 4.4.3, HPLIP 3.15 and a 3.16 kernel were also selected.<\/p>\n

I was tempted to give you a quick overview of the new features, but since we’re so closed to the release you’ll have to wait for the announcements \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance to all the people who will test this RC. We hope you’ll have fun with it. We look forward to receiving your feedback so we can fix as many bugs as possible before the stable release.<\/p>\n
