Hi everyone,<\/p>\n

First of all, many many thanks to all of you for your donations. As I mentioned in the previous blog post, we received a huge amount of support last month. 751 people donated to us in December for a total of $24,146. It’s pretty amazing!<\/p>\n

January is strong too with 633 donors already. We don’t have statistics on downloads or installations but these donations speak volumes. Thank you!<\/p>\n

Linux Mint 20.3<\/strong><\/p>\n

The latest version of the upgrade tool, which features improved detection and handling of orphan\/foreign packages, was backported to Linux Mint 20.3.<\/p>\n

This makes the upgrade path from 20.3 to 21 much easier than before.<\/p>\n

Linux Mint 21.3<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stable release for Linux Mint 21.3 was announced early this month.<\/p>\n

The upgrade path from 21, 21.1 and 21.2 was opened shortly after.<\/p>\n

Bug fixes<\/strong><\/p>\n

We fixed a few regressions which had gone through the BETA phase unnoticed:<\/p>\n
