The Trinity Desktop Environment development team is pleased to announce the
immediate availability of the TDE R14.1.1 release.
TDE is a free/libre lightweight desktop environment intended for computer
users preferring a lean and efficient experience. It is available for
various Linux distros, BSD and DilOS. Low on system requirements, it is
also an ideal choice for dated hardware, while still providing a fully
usable desktop.
R14.1.1 comes with the ability to drag and tile windows to the display's
borders and corners, adds several improvements to keyboard shortcuts
settings, a few new wallpapers, better support in SunOS/Illumos/DilOS and
support for libxine2's logarithmic volume settings. It also has some
important fixes for tdepowersave's display brightness control, arts sound
server start up crash, TQt3's recursive mutexes and for the high CPU usage
detected on some RPM distros with R14.1.0. Behind the scenes, an effort to
clean up and enhance TQt3 and tqtinterface code has started and will be
going on across multiple releases.
There are a lot of other changes under the hood, so please refer to the
links below for further details.

Hi everyone,
some users of RPM-based distros reported high CPU usage and general
slowness when upgrading from R14.0.x to R14.1.0.
The issue has been investigated and the problem resolved in R14.1.1-devel
(see https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/tde/tde/issues/128).
Given the severity of the problem, we have decided to backport the required
fixes and release updated builds of the affected packages for R14.1.0.
Although the problem only showed up on specific RPM distros, packages have
been updated for all distros for consistency.
Please make sure you update to the latest available version of all tqt3 and
tdelibs packages in your distribution. If you are a PSB/PTB user, you
should have already received or will receive the fixes as part of the
last/next update.
Cheers
The TDE dev team

Dear users and developers,
we would like to inform you that a few months ago we changed the rules for
posting to the TDE mailing lists.
Each newly registered user is now moderated by default. If the user posts
messages with topics related to TDE, the user will be moved to a state
where his posts will be accepted without further moderation.
Existing users have been set up so that posts are already accepted without
moderation, so most of you did not observed any change in mailing lists
behavior. If a non-moderated user starts to suddenly send inappropriate
messages to the mailing list, we may have the need to move the user to a
moderated state. Hopefully this will never be necessary :-)
As you may have noticed, the new rules have successfully helped eliminating
mailing list spam, while at the same time usability comfort was
maintained.
We hope you are satisfied with the new policy and a big thank to those
members who help moderating the lists.
