Hello,

I am a member of the Trinity Desktop Environment development team. The development team members and I were pleased to learn that the LiMux project has been using Trinity Desktop 3.5.12 since August 2011.

Members of the Trinity development team invite you and the LiMux developers to join our efforts. By joining efforts we can bring forward Trinity for our general user base, resolve LiMux specific issues, respond to problems more quickly, as well as offer debugging and packaging help.

The Trinity development team is preparing a software release update (SRU) of 3.5.13 and actively developing our next release R14. The upcoming R14 release includes the following:

* XDG compliance, with TDE now a recognized freedesktop.org environment.

* An improved TQt interface layer that allows selective adaptation of Qt4 programming widgets into the original Qt3 environment.

* A Qt4 integration style allowing seamless integration with applications like VLC.

* Support for Secure Attention Key, which ensures better login protection than other desktop environments.

* Native dialog box support for LibreOffice 3.6 (included upstream).

* Foundational preparations for an operating system independent support of hardware without HAL, which will allow Trinity to continue to operate well on newer GNU/Linux distributions.

Both R14 and 3.5.13 (SRU) provide current support for current upstream libraries:

* GCC 4.7.1 * glibc 2.16 * glib2 2.31 * libpng 1.5 * cups 1.6 * ffmpeg 0.11

* Approximately 350 bugs and enhancement requests have been resolved since the release of 3.5.13.

Our current project goals include improved enterprise support such as LDAP and Kerberos integration, KMail HTML support, and full hardware support without HAL.

Please contact me or any member of the Trinity development team.
