Rilasciato MATE 1.10, ecco le principali novità

di Marco Giannini · 12 Giugno 2015

Martin Wimpress ha annunciato il rilascio di MATE 1.10, la nuova major release del desktop enironment nato come fork di GNOME 2 e che tanto successo sta riscuotendo fra nostalgici dei tempi che furono ma anche fra chi cerca un desktop moderno, veloce e poco avido di risorse.

MATE 1.10 viene rilasciato dopo ben 15 mesi di sviluppo che hanno consentito al team di aggiungere tante piccole novità e di migliorare il codice.

Vediamo quali sono le principali caratteristiche di MATE 1.10:

Ogni componente di MATE può essere compilato sia con le GTK2 che con le GTK3 (il supporto alle GTK3 è ancora considerato sperimentale)
Caja, il gestore file, ha ora un gestore di estensioni
Atril, il visualizzatore di documenti, supporta ora gli ePub
Aggiunto libmatemixer, una nuova libreria mixer audio per MATE Desktop che che fornisce una API astratta che consente l’accesso alle funzionalità mixer disponibili in PulseAudio, ALSA e OSS.
Migliorato il codice con conseguente riduzione di memory leak
Supporto ai temi GTK 3.16 incluso il supporto ai CSD e pop-over

I vari componenti di MATE 1.10 sono disponibili per il download al link http://pub.mate-desktop.org/releases/1.10/

MATE 1.10 è già disponibile su Fedora 22 e prossimamente arriverà su Linux Mint 17.2 MATE in uscita a fine mese.
