by Slávek Banko 30 Apr '23

30 Apr '23

After 8+ years from R14.0.0 and in line with our standard 6 months release cycle, the Trinity Desktop Environment development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of TDE R14.1.0! 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. This release marks the switch from the R14.0.x series to the newly started R14.1.x one. R14.1.0 comes with support for LUKS disks throughout the whole desktop, new notification system for storage device plug/unplugged events, basic support for PulseAudio and support for PKI infrastructure. It also ships with a new bluetooth GUI (tdebluez), a new multimedia player (kplayer), some new icewm based themes and a new session management and panel in Kate. Several configuration dialog and usability improvements have been made throughout the system and support for Python 2 has been dropped in favour of Python 3. There are a lot of other changes under the hood, so please refer to the links below for further details. * Full version of the Release Notes (including screenshots of some features) https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.1.0 * TGW issue list https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/3 * Detailed changelog https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Changelog_For_R14.1.0 Upgrading from R14.0.x should be straightforward. Please note that there will be no more releases in the R14.0.x series. We would like to thank all the people who have contributed to the preparation of this release and we are looking forward for further contributions in future. Slávek Banko -- TDE Team

Changed rules of moderation of mailing lists
by Slávek Banko 31 Mar '22

31 Mar '22

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. Slávek Banko -- TDE Team
