The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to
announce the immediate availability of the new TDE R14.0.3 release. The
Trinity Desktop Environment is a complete software desktop environment
designed for Unix-like operating systems, intended for computer users
preferring a traditional desktop model, and is free/libre software.
R14.0.3 is the third maintenance release of the R14.0 series, and is built
on and improves the previous R14.0.2 version. Maintenance releases are
intended to promptly bring bug fixes to users, while preserving overall
stability through the avoidance of both new features and major codebase
re-factoring.

R14.0.3 Release Notes
This section highlights some of the most important fixes introduced by
this release

applications (such as KOffice and k3b) from opening their own saved files
* Fixed detection of mime types not contained in TDE settings (using magic
library) which prevented sound files from being played in some recent
distros
* Added giflib 5.1 support

FreeBSD Support
There are still some issues that need to be addressed before full FreeBSD
support can be achieved. Additional developers or contributors willing to
help porting the remaining features and applications are always welcome.
Getting TDE
Installation instructions and binary packages are immediately available
for Debian and Ubuntu. Packages for RedHat/CentOs, Fedora, Mageia,
OpenSUSE, and PCLinuxOS are being built by their respective maintainers
and will be made available at a later date.
Live CDs with TDE R14.0.3 preinstalled are available on the LiveCDs page.

Developers Wanted
The TDE development team is small but friendly. If you wish to participate

additional information.
Contribute to the TDE Project
Creating TDE requires significant computing resources and bandwidth.
Please consider helping to keep us online with a donation on our donations
page at https://www.trinitydesktop.org/donate.php .
In particular, the TDE project has extended full support to the OpenPOWER
platform, using real OpenPOWER hardware, as this may be the only open
workstation/server class computing platform available in the future.
Please help us to keep improving this port with your donations.
Thank you for your ongoing support. Without your financial assistance, TDE
would not be possible!
