Before anything else, let’s thank all the people who contribute to this project. Many people do, in very different ways. Thank you all for your help!<\/p>\n

A batch of bug fix updates was sent to Mint 20.2 and LMDE 4 for the following projects: cjs, cinnamon-screensaver, muffin, cinnamon, nemo, xapps, mintreport and bulky.<\/p>\n

In muffin, one of the fixes caused a regression. We’re working on it and the issue is tracked at https:\/\/github.com\/linuxmint\/muffin\/issues\/607<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following some of the discussions we had here on this blog and your feedback in the comments section, the upcoming versions of Xed and Xreader will feature an option to hide the menubar. When it is hidden the application uses less space and fits in smaller screen resolution. Pressing the Alt key makes the menubar visible momentarily.<\/p>\n

Xed also gained the ability to switch between opened tabs using Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab.<\/p>\n

The System Reports tool will check systems to ensure they’re merged (i.e. according to usrmerge<\/a> specs) and warn users when this isn’t the case.<\/p>\n

In LMDE 4, Firefox 78 ESR will be upgraded to version 94. LMDE will no longer follow the ESR version. It will use the same version of Firefox as Linux Mint.<\/p>\n
