Few can claim to offer such a polished, integrated and leading-edge Xfce experience. We ship Xfce 4.12 with this release of Manjaro. We mainly focused on polishing the user experience on the desktop and window manager, and on updating some components to take advantage of newly available technologies.\r\n\r\nOur KDE edition continues to deliver this powerful, mature and feature-rich desktop environment with a unique look-and-feel, and with the perks of Manjaro's latest tools. We ship now Plasma 5.4 desktop in combination with the latest KDE-Apps 15.08. It was a huge step to get it all playing together smoothly and to give the user experience the same feeling as our KDE4 editions of the past.\r\n\r\nThe Linux kernel used on the 15.09 installation media is the 4.1 (LTS) series. This series of kernel has been selected for its blend of stability, long-term viability, and modern features and hardware support.\r\n\r\nBoth our graphical installer Thus (default graphical installer) and the CLI installer have been thoroughly tested to meet a huge variety of system and encryption environments. Additionally we added Calamares as an alternative graphical installer to try out.\r\n\r\nMenda themes have been re-based on the excellent Vertex by horst3180, with a great deal of Manjaro customisations and additions. Our Menda look-and-feel has been extended to include Numix-based icons and a Breeze-based cursor theme, both modified to best match Manjaro's styling. This you can find in our Xfce edition. Within Plasma 5 we updated our theme Maia, created by David Linares (mcder3). It includes a slick icon theme and nicely put out green-based look and feel. Take a look and get wowed!\r\n\r\nRelative to the last installation media release, our tools have been improved and polished.\r\n\r\nThe Manjaro Settings Manager now provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for installing and removing the many series of kernels we offer. Manjaro's selection of readily available kernels remains the most extensive of all Linux distribution we know of. At the time of this 15.09 release, nine series of kernel are available directly from our binary repositories, ranging from the mature & rock-solid 3.10 series to the latest 4.2 release. Such a wide array of available kernel options results in extensive hardware support, getting the most out of your system for you, be it old or new. We also created a kcm module to integrate Manjaro Settings Manager seamlessly into System-Settings of Plasma 5.\r\n\r\nManjaro Settings Manager now also includes friendly graphical interfaces for adjusting system date/time settings and for customising notifications for available kernel & language pack updates.\r\n\r\nBoth our graphical package management tools have received important updates.\r\n\r\nOur GTK package management tool, Pamac, has just seen its 2.4.1 release. This release makes AUR truly optional now. We also enhanced our configurable settings and fixed a lot of bugs.\r\n\r\nOur Qt package management tool, Octopi, is now at version 0.7.1 bringing many improvements and bug-fixes, and shipped using Qt5 for the main interface. Alternate to the generic updates notifier, a notifier package with KDE Frameworks 5 support is also available.\r\n\r\nSteam is now provided with two launcher choices, one for using the native system libraries and one for using the Steam compatibility libraries, in an effort to offer the best compatibility and performance for different Steam games.\r\n\r\nAlthough the main installation media continue to utilise systemd, Manjaro now optionally offers extensive support for the OpenRC init system, giving you the power of choice for your init system, something rarely readily offered in Linux distributions nowadays.\r\n\r\nWe hope you enjoy this release."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/manjaro/release-plan/issues/comments/137820444","html_url":"https://github.com/manjaro/release-plan/issues/4#issuecomment-137820444","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/manjaro/release-plan/issues/4","id":137820444,"user":{"login":"philmmanjaro","id":5050022,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5050022?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/philmmanjaro","html_url":"https://github.com/philmmanjaro","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/philmmanjaro/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/philmmanjaro/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/philmmanjaro/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/philmmanjaro/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/philmmanjaro/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/philmmanjaro/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/philmmanjaro/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/philmmanjaro/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/philmmanjaro/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-09-04T18:55:06Z","updated_at":"2015-09-04T18:55:06Z","body":"One second.
