Absolute Linux 12.1.10
Kamis, 16 Oktober 2008 00:00
Dalam kurun waktu tidak lebih dari satu minggu Paul Sherman, developer dari Absolute Linux telah tiga kali memperbaharui distronya. Dua rilis sebelumnya adalah versi 12.0.8 dan 12.0.9. Rilis Absolute Linux 12.1.10 diluncurkan hari ini.

Gabungan semua perbaikan sejak rilis 12.0.8 termasuk:
  • GIMP-2.6.1, is a bug fix. gimp-remote was not working, among a few other smaller problems.
  • Replaced packages for libgnomecanvas, libgnomecups, libgnomeprint, libgnomeprintui -- due to printing problems, likely due to compiling against outdated libgnomecanvas.
  • Updated Firefox to Slack version -- xulrunner-based compile of FF had problems with jpg background images and also some console warnings --   might also have been based on bad canvas? No xulrunner means more space in the meantime and re-introduced acidrip and gcstar to base install, along with a few more games.
  • Fixed rox-filer send-to item for filetype HTML to "runBrowser", rather than assume firefox. Also took out send-to for links2 browser, which no longer gets distributed with Absolute.
  • Updated to keep up with Slack-current. Most notable are the constant Glibc updates Smile
  • The first bug fix is for the TiLP package, which had some permissions set incorrectly for the /usr/share/applications directory. This caused to render useless .desktop files for the regular user accounts.
  • The second bug fix resolves the desktop file type association for .gz files.
  • Linking problem between Mozilla Thunderbird mail client and Mozilla Firefox web browser (the mailto function in Firefox and url function in Thunderbird) was fixed in this release.
  • Absolute Linux 12.1.09 updates the "absolute" theme in the gtksourceview2 package, so you can use even more visible colors for the mouse cursor.
